Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 33

VICTORIA’S POV

I watched him in surprise. Jayden wasn’t present during the whole auction time and suddenly appeared at the last announcement.

His soft brown eyes locked into mine as he flashed his handsome smile toward me.

“I said the bid, Miss Williams. Hope I am not late?” His brow raised in amusement, and I was pushed back to my senses.

My eyes fell on the audience, especially the last bidder. Camilla’s face was pale in disbelief, which was a refreshing sight for me.

Soon, I digested the shock, and with a nod, I started sealing the bid.

“The gentleman set the bar high with ten million. Ten million one, Ten million two...”

All the while, my eyes kept fixated on Alessandro and Camilla. The distress on Camilla’s face was fairly visible. She started shaking Alessandro’s arm and saying something.

Maybe urging him to raise the bid. Yet, Alessandro only shook his head.

Afterward, I exclaimed, “Ten million three,” and joyfully rang the last bell. I then announced, “Sold! The ‘Beloved’ now belongs to this gentleman.”

People in the audience started watching Jayden with new admiration, and some with jealous eyes. But he was only looking at me.

I don’t know why he did that, but I just realized that the old Jayden never changed. Always dramatic with appearance and loves to stand up beside friends. If I’m not mistaken, he only bought ‘Beloved’ to insult Camilla and Alessandro.

“Wait a minute!” At that moment, Camilla suddenly shouted, earning all the attention on her as she stood up.

Ignoring all other eyes, she turned her gaze to Jayden with her always arrogant attitude as she spoke,

“Mr, I am willing to trade you the other jewels I got in today’s auction for this diamond because it is what my boyfriend Aless wanted to give me.”

Her words confirmed my previous guess, and I felt drenched for the first time after they appeared.

Even though I closed my heart to Alessandro, that particular news pinched a part of me. But that is not solely because of that ‘boyfriend’ remark but his action and thinking about my blinded love that I regret.

Once again, he proved that I had never been worthy in his eyes to receive any gifts from him. He has never purchased a small piece of paper for me in the entire duration of our three-year marriage, let alone anything else.

Even before our marriage, I bought our wedding ring by myself. When I asked him if he liked it, he just stated ‘whatever’ with a cold frown and never even looked at it.
