Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 99

VICTORIA’S POV

“What do you think?” I asked as I watched him in excitement.

However, my design no longer captured the attention of those blue eyes, which were now solely fixated on me. The intensity of his stare grew darker.

At that moment, I was certain about his thoughts. All my excitement about the design flew out of the window, and my body responded to his deep and lusty gaze.

I freaking want him! Oh God! The last couple of days were so much frustrating for me! Sometimes I even fell asleep at my desk and woke up in bed the next morning.

Right now, all the tiredness is gone, and new excitement and anticipation build up inside me. I want this man so bad! He pulled my chair toward him and leaned forward to kiss me.

Our lips met, and a current rushed through my bones. All my cells became alive, and my body warmed up to his domineering touch.

I drew him closer to me, intensifying the kiss. Just as it seemed like it would become more passionate, he abruptly ended the kiss and planted a gentle kiss on the tip of my nose and another on my temple.

I blinked at him, thinking he would go further now, but in vain. He did not!

Aless started pulling himself backward, but I stopped him, holding his hand. Our eyes connected, his captivating blue stare locking onto mine, retaining their intensity. I only watched him with a silent question, and he knew what I wanted to say.

Aless sighed before pulling me onto his lap and kissing my neck.

“Don’t let negativity cross your mind, sweetheart. I can’t do this now,” he said as he gently placed his hand on my growing belly. Aless leaned in, lowered his head, and kissed my stomach lovingly.

“You are over six months pregnant now. I don’t want to hurt you or our baby at any cost. It’s better to stay away a little bit.”

Immediately my mood sank. “But I did not cross my seventh month, right?” I pouted slightly.

“No baby, it’s not about sixth or seventh. I just can’t take the risk.” He buried his head in my neck and inhaled my scent deeply before pulling away.

“I do want you so bad that it hurts a lot. Still, I can’t do this. I don’t want to take a risk when it comes to your health. We also have to think about the baby, right?”

His voice is soft as he tries to coax me. It felt like he was talking to a child demanding impossible things.

Even though I knew what he said was true, I still felt sad and grumpy. Well, blame my pregnant mind, which is stubborn.

Seeing me, Alessandro chuckled and kissed me on the cheeks. He nuzzled there and caressed my belly.

“Don’t be sad, baby. I promise to make it count after the baby comes out. What do you think?”

His low and deep voice rushed some heat to my cheeks as I pouted slightly, glaring at him and making him laugh more.

“Even though I can’t give you the exact thing you wanted, I have something else for you.” He said, arching his brow a little at me.

“And what is that?” I asked, excited once again.

He only smirked, filled with mystery. “You will know that soon.” He kissed my lips and grinned before setting me on my chair again and standing straight.

“Be prepared. I have a surprise for you.” He said and left me there with a wink.

He didn’t even let me ask about the surprise! What is he planning?

Seated on the chair, I observed my creation - a design of significant personal value. Named ‘Colossal Eye’ or ‘Vast Eye,’ this jewelry piece aims to evoke a sense of joyousness for the wearer by creating an illusion of a blissful gaze surrounding them. It’s one of my favorite designs till now, but not special as the wedding ring I am designing.

While lost in my thoughts, my cell phone abruptly began to ring, capturing my attention. I directed my gaze toward the device, only to discover an unknown number on the screen.

I received the call.
