VICTORIA’S POV
I paused, uncertain of how to respond to the situation. I wasn’t expecting anyone here and not him, especially.
I remained silent and stood like stiff steel, unable to express my feelings.
His hands tightened around my waist, careful not to hurt me in the process, as he lowered his head behind me and kept his chin on my shoulder.
His smooth, deep voice whispered into my right ear, “Finally, I get you in my arms.” His fresh masculine cologne hit my nostrils, and I shivered a little when his breath fell on my exposed neck.
My toes curled, and my thighs clenched along with my chest. I don’t know if I should be happy or angry with this man.
My emotions surged up to me urgently as my throat dried, and it felt heavy inside. I swallowed the lump in my throat before speaking, “I thought you had left?” I forced the words out, but they sounded like a complaint to my ears. Fuck!
He chuckled lightly, nuzzling my neck, making me shiver more. I bit down my lips to prevent myself from getting too emotional.
“How could I? When my wife and baby are both here? I will never leave without you and the baby, Victoria.” His words echoed in my ear. Deep but light-toned, yet full of promises.
“Alessandro...” I mentioned his name and swallowed the painful lump again before saying, “Stop being stubborn. We’re already divorced. You should move on and begin a new life.”
My tone was shaky, yet I didn’t stop saying my words this time.
I felt his weight lift from my neck. Is he going already? Then why came back?
I felt my heart shatter again as I closed my eyes to control myself. However, it didn’t stay long, as I was forced to turn around when he circled me.
I opened my eyes only to behold the most handsome face on earth. His ocean-blue eyes are as deep as the sea, sweeping over me. His dimples are visible with his bright smile that turns heads just for a glance. This man is simply perfect!
Wait... Ain’t I angry with him? I decided to leave him, right? Then why on earth am I thinking all those things? Shit!
My pregnancy hormones are playing with me too much!
I gasped suddenly as my lower back pushed against the yacht’s railing. I looked up at him, feeling a mix of confusion and surprise.
“What are you...”
“Shh.” He kept his index finger on my lips, stopping me from talking further.
Alessandro leaned forward and replaced his finger with his soft and sexy lips, kissing me lightly.
