Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 34

VICTORIA’S POV

I already knew what Jayden was doing. His action made me smile as I stretched my right hand to him. Intentionally, I didn’t give a left hand.

With a soft kiss on my knuckle, he put it on my right-hand ring finger. To my surprise, it fits perfectly, and I swear, it looks so beautiful. Even for a moment, I could wear such a precious thing, and I love every moment.

Only wished it was from the man I love. Maybe, I would protect this piece of art with my life.

“Victoria, don’t go too far!” Camilla stood up furiously. She is set for another drama, isn’t she?

“You are too ridiculous! You want to snatch the proposal ring my boyfriend wants to give me?”

Is she insane, or has the sudden shock disturbed her brain cells?

I raised my brows at her. “Oh, am I, Miss White? And here I, and probably everyone, thought it’s because your boyfriend didn’t offer a higher price for it?”

“Yeah.” One female voice agreed from the audience as others started nodding their head.

Camilla suddenly turned nervous. “No! What are you talking about!? It’s obviously because you ......”

“Mr. Devonte, I think you need to say something to comfort your girlfriend,” Jayden spoke, interrupting Camilla in the middle of her words.

“Or is the famous Alessandro Devonte also a brutally unreasonable person?” I could sense Jayden’s cold smirk and Alessandro’s cold glare met.

It felt like an unknown cold War is happening between them. Or am I wrong to think that?

Alessandro’s fists clenched tight. I know it is humiliating for him. However, I can’t help it, nor it began with me. His ‘girlfriend’ created the situation for him.

“Today is E Shine’s auction show, don’t act ridiculously.” He finally spoke, stopping Camilla.

“I will ask my assistant to find better jewelry for you.” He added the last words before he stood up and left the show.

He was so... polite to her, which reminds me of the day I went to an auction with him.

It was an accident that I bumped into a waiter that spilled a little champagne on my shoes. He was humiliated before the whole audience even though Camilla caused that situation.

Also, not to mention that accident on his grandmother’s seventieth birthday. I broke my arm, but he only cared about my appearance because it was related to his image.

I always knew Alessandro never liked to be embarrassed in public, especially when cameras were clicking on him. He cared about his image a lot.

Today, he demonstrated that he could keep his image aside when dealing with his loved ones. Although he didn't explicitly state it, his actions conveyed his affection for Camilla and willingness to endure any challenges she may present.

“Did you hear that?” My thoughts broke with Camilla’s arrogant tone. “Aless said he will buy me something better later!” With a smirk on her face, she raised her chin and rolled her eyes at me before following Aless.

I don’t want to smile anymore. Despite my reluctance, my heart is pained by the truth that lies within, and I cannot deny it.
