ALESSANDRO’S POV
I dragged myself out of Victoria’s beautiful Villa, broken and devastated. The hate I saw on her face for me was something I deserved, but my mind was not ready to accept it.
Heck! It would never be ready!
I knew something had changed in her when I saw her in front of the super mall, and when she was taken home unconscious and that middle-aged lady, Maria started crying and caring for her and the baby.
Every inch of me crumbled when I realized she was pregnant. She is fucking pregnant for five-six months!
A part of me really wanted to know who the baby belonged to. And another part of me believes that the baby is mine. She was my wife five months ago, and our marriage was not sexless.
Did she get pregnant at that time? Then why she never told me? Wait...
I stopped on my track with a thought in mind. Was she pregnant before our divorce?
Fuck! Then why didn’t she tell me? Had I known, I would not have agreed to the divorce proposal.
But then again, my mood plummeted, as I remembered when she requested a divorce. She was accepting punishment from grandma for something she never did.
She might be hurt so much and beyond my imagination. I couldn’t help but get on my knees, thinking how miserable she felt then.
She stayed on the ground for hours and did not complain. I still remember that particular moment when I walked toward her, and she looked up at me with some expectations on her face.
Maybe, she thought I was there to take her home with me, but I didn’t. Even though I wanted to, I didn’t. My fucking ego came in front, and I was so dumb to believe Camilla’s words. I didn’t even think once before repeating the same thing to her. Shit!
I pulled my hair, thinking how much pain she would be in then.
Victoria was deeply hurt, causing her to distance herself from me and come to this place. However, after everything that has occurred, am I prepared to give up on her if she continues to push me away repeatedly? Would I lose my patience in chasing her away?
The answer echoed in my head without me realizing it. NO...
Of course, I won’t! I won’t let her go at all! Even if the baby is not mine and someone else’s. I don’t fucking care.
Victoria is mine, and I will pursue her back in my life. I will make sure she forgives me and willingly accepts my presence. I will fight to prove that I genuinely want her back, and I will prove to her that I love her, no matter what.
The more she pushed me away, the more I would persistently pester her to come back. I will pester her till she agrees.
With determination, I stood up. I turned back to look at the beautiful Villa in the night view. Maybe, I am leaving now only to start afresh tomorrow.
I understand that you will likely be angry with me for the actions I am about to take, but unfortunately, I feel like I have no other option if I want to win you over.
I will be back sooner than you think, Victoria, and no matter how long it takes, I will make you mine. I will dissolve your fiery resistance towards me; this time, nothing and no one will stand in my way.

VICTORIA’S POV
I slowly put my leg on the pillow on the couch. My legs started getting a little sore these days. The more I get heavier with my pregnancy, the more I start feeling body aches. Well, I am sure it will be worth everything at the end of the day.
Maria came with a bowl of fruits as I sat and placed them before me. “Here, eat all of it.”
Immediately my nose scrunched. I am not in the mood. Not after what happened yesterday and, of course, seeing Alessandro.
I don’t know why, even after I had so many things to think about, I couldn’t let my mind divert from that one man. Alessandro Devonte is the only thing I could think of!
Sigh...
Didn’t I just shut him out of my life? Then why again? Should I blame this on my pregnancy hormone? I just don’t know anymore!
“What absurd thoughts are you having?” Maria’s words brought me to reality as I shook my head with a scrunching nose.
“I don’t want to eat now.”
