Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 49

ALESSANDRO’S POV

I came back to my office, heartbroken and devastated. I don’t have any energy left inside me; only my body is moving around without my mind, as if something heavy was pressing my soul, trying to suffocate me.

At present, I am unsure of her whereabouts and have a pressing need to locate her. However, it seems that everything I had worked on with my own efforts has been ruined.

I hurt her so much that she decided to leave without looking behind; I even hurt her last night, accusing her of things she never did. She was a victim too, and I...

Leaning against the wall of the elevator, I pulled my hair in frustration, unable to focus on my work, thinking about how to locate her and have a conversation with her.

The elevator ‘dang’ opened, and I walked toward my office when I saw Calvin coming out of my office.

Watching me, he immediately greeted me with a worried expression before speaking, “Elder madam is here.”

“Grandma?” I mumbled to myself, and he nodded.

I couldn’t help but sigh. I am already out of my sane, and now she is here for God knows what reason. If she started talking about Camilla, I swear I would lose it and won’t care anymore if she was my grandmother.

I nodded when Calvin talked again. “Do you find Miss Bla... I mean, Miss Edwards?”

“No, she left.” I frowned at the thought and focused my gaze on him. “Along with the other two things, start searching for Victoria’s current location. Find her as soon as possible.”

“Yes, sir!” He immediately left to do his tasks.

After he was gone to his desk, I walked to my office. Grandma was sitting on the sofa with a glass of water in hand.

Despite always being a smart and elegant woman who maintained herself well enough that her true age was a mystery to others, today, she appeared to have aged more than expected. Her demeanor was one of sadness, and she seemed to be unwell.

I felt a tumultuous sensation in my heart. Among my loved ones, my mom, dad, and grandma have always shown the greatest concern for me and my brother Dominic. However, grandma became even more anxious and attentive toward me following Dominic’s passing.

I really do care for her. However, I also can’t let my care affect my relationship anymore. I have hurt Victoria so much before and am still trying to repent. I can’t take any more risk.

Entering with a heavy heart, I caught my grandmother’s attention with the sound of my footsteps. Her gaze quickly shifted towards me, and upon seeing me, her face brightened with joy as she promptly rose to greet me.

Touching my cheeks with her worried and teary eyes, she hugged me.

“Oh, thank God! You are fine! You didn’t pick up my call, Aless. I was so worried. My child, what happened to you?” Her tone is broken by constant crying. “You look so dull, Aless. Tell grandma, what happened?”

I hold her hands, kissing them softly. “I am fine, grandma. Don’t worry too much about me; I will make everything right.”

She shook her head. “How could you even say that, Aless? I only have you, son. I can’t lose you. Watching you like this breaks my heart. I...”

“No, grandma.” I shook my head. “Don’t try to comfort me. What is happening around me, I deserve all of it. It was all my fault. I hurt her for three years and never stood up for her when she needed me most, and now, this is the after results, and I do deserve this.”

I walked her back to the sofa, letting her seat down. Grandma only stared at me, clutching my hands tight.

“I won’t justify my actions or words, Aless; you are not only guilty but all of us...” She gulped before continuing, “just to let you know that I will support you whatever decision you take.”
