Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 69

VICTORIA’S POV

My eyes opened to an annoying phone ringtone, and I couldn’t help but wonder who made such a bothersome invention. Of course, this feeling only comes to mind when sleeping. Otherwise, no one would dare to imagine such a thought in this world.

I groaned and rolled over but pulled once again into his possessive arms. Alessandro nuzzled the nape of my neck and mumbled, “Let it ring, don’t leave me.”

I suddenly felt my heart flip inside in a happy mood as I bit my lips, suppressing the threatening smile and nodded.

However, my happy mood was ruined when the phone started ringing again, and I heard his groan.

I patted his hand. “It’s alright. Might be an emergency.”

Aless groaned but let me go. I rolled to the other side and picked up the call without looking at the screen and the caller.

“Hello...” I spoke in my sleepy tone.

“Are you sleeping still?” I heard Antonio’s astonished tone from the opposite side, and without even seeing him, I knew he was surprised and watching his wristwatch.

I looked at the phone screen, and shit! It’s ten in the morning! In my entire life, I have never slept so late! We have always been disciplined kids and never slept late, even if we were ill.

But today, I slept so long! Fuck! I turned to the side, glancing at the sleeping figure who had pounced on me like a wolf the whole morning and worn me out!

“Victoria, are you there?” I heard his tone again; this time, my sleepy haze was already gone

I nodded, staring at the marbled ceiling. “Yes, I am. I overslept today.” Once again, I watched the sleepy man beside me.

“How is everything at home?” I asked next and heard Antonio sighing, alerting me as I sat up, covering the quilt toward my chest.

“What happened, Ant? Everything alright? Are mama and papa fine?” I asked, suddenly not feeling good.

I didn’t realize my tone until I felt a movement beside me. As I turned my head, Aless was awake and sitting close to me, watching me with a silent questioning gaze.

“Victoria, you have to come back,” Antonio spoke, raising my heartbeat. “Papa is not well. He needed to be hospitalized last night.”

“What?!” My eyes widened, and a part of my heart clenched so tightly that I forgot to breathe for some time. “How is he now? Why didn’t you inform me last night? What happened to him?”

I cried out as I felt all my limbs going cold.

“Hey, Princess. Don’t cry. Calm down. Last night, Papa felt a slight ache in his chest, and I immediately took him to the doctor. They checked him in an emergency, and the report said he had a heart problem. His heart has a blockage and needs to be operated on soon. We need you here, Princess. Papa wants to see you,” he said, and I was already crying ocean at that moment.
