Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 39

VICTORIA

“You better pick up the necklace while returning home,” mom reminded me for the fifth time in a day, and I sighed helplessly, nodding.

“Don’t worry, mama; I won’t forget.” And I assured her of the same amount of time!

“Oh baby, I am so excited for you; finally, you are doing it. Your papa and I always dreamed of this moment,” she said. Her tone is full of love which made me smile brightly.

“Yes, mom. I am glad to make you guys happy,” I replied, and with another reminder of the necklace she had ordered for me, we hung up.

This is called the love of a mother; whatever they do or how busy they are, they won’t ever forget to take care of their children.

Everyone has a different opinion and way of caring for their family, which shouldn’t be judged. The main thing is the care they show.

I caressed my belly, where lies my little infant that is still growing, and the notion that I would become a mother in one month crossed my thoughts. Maybe I will also become a super nagging and typical mother.

I am sure my child will also feel annoyed at a certain age until he or she grows to realize the real meaning of care.

I looked down at my belly and couldn’t help the smile on my face.

“No matter what happens, I will always love you endlessly.” Kissing my palm, I pressed it to my child, sealing the promise I had made.

Soon, I left the office earlier, and Daniel proposed to come with me, but I let him go. He has worked a lot these days, and I don’t want to tire him out. So, I drove myself to the mall.

Mom has sent me a photo of the new necklace she has chosen for me. E Shine designed the jewelry, and it’s settled in the store that E Shine owns.

Not a hassle to pick it up. So, I decided to select a dress first for tomorrow’s party, matching the photo mama sent.

I went to the ‘Z’ mall. One of the finest malls in NYC. You can find almost every designer collection here. One of the shopping havens is for rich people.

Though we have come here occasionally, our family holds a couple of shares in this mall. Most of them belong to me, which makes me one of the rare Platinum customers in this mall.

Last time I remember, Grandma Nina held the Diamond membership here. Well, you know what I mean.

I am not criticizing them, but they are too proud of their status.

Anyways, I walked inside the mall and directly went to the shop of designer Jackson D. He is my mother’s friend and one of the classiest designers renowned for his unique fashion sense. He is famous among celebrities mostly.

I have known Jackson D since childhood because of mama. He is one of the funniest guys and a sweetheart. I also like his boyfriend, who is a chef, Danny Roberto. Both looked so gorgeous together.

When I entered the shop, I saw Jackson pinning on one of his mannequins. I’m glad he is here. I believe in his style. I stood behind him, clearing my throat.

“Knock, knock. Is anybody home?”

His back stiffened as he turned around with his eyes widened and gasped. “Oh. My. God! Vici!” He immediately pulled me into a bone-crushing hug as all of his staff stared at me curiously.

This is because Jackson never gets close too much to anyone unless they are his closest members, and he adores me like his own daughter.

Now when I look back to my younger self, I was stupid to leave all this love to gain something that was never mine.

“So? Did you leave him? And now with his baby? Are you sure that family won’t cause you trouble?” He arched his brow when I told him everything.

I smiled, sipping on a mojito, “I don’t care what they do; I am not a damsel in distress. Moreover, I have you to back me up, haven’t I?” I danced my brows at him.

“Of course I will! Even If I have to beat his ass up in public! Moron!” He rolled his eyes, making me chuckle. “I will...”

He wanted to continue more when he got an important call. He excused himself before asking me to look around and select the designs if there was anyone I liked.

At first, I didn’t get up, but when I started feeling a little bored, I started pacing around.
