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

VICTORIA'S POV...

'You will always remain our daughter.'

I heard the desperation and helplessness in her tone.

The truth is a shock to me but if I closed that part of my life, then I couldn't find any point where I can blame them for not being good to me.

In every step of my life, my parents have always supported me. Even after I left home, they might be angry, but never pointed their fingers at me. And in my hardest time, they stood beside me like the stronges pillar and protected me.

Only because of that one freak, I could not hurt them after twenty-four years of life, right? Slith might bring me to my family, but that was my destiny.

The death of their real daughter and my appearance in their life. Yeah, they might not be the parents who gave birth to me, but they are the parents who brought me up and be the dream parents a child could wish for.

How could I let them get hurt just because of that one truth? An hour ago, I thought who am I? But, Now I know, I am Victoria Edwards and this is my family. I belong to this family and this is the only truth of my life!

I turned to my mother and hugged her, hiding myself in her arms like I always did whenever I wanted comfort.

Her sweet scent always calmed me down and gave me a sense of security. Today it didn't change at all. It's the same way I am used to.

I felt her hands wrapped around me tightly and I couldn't help my tears anymore. I sobbed, hiding in her chest.

"I am sorry, Mama. I shouldn't have taken Smith's words in my head. I am so sorry. I can't pay off your debts even if I give my life to you. I am sorry. please, forgive me."

Mama broke the hug and made me look into her teary eyes. She shook her head, cupping my cheeks. "Don't say such words, Victoria. You are our daughter and it doesn't matter whether we gave birth to you or not! There are no debts! No child can be indebted to their parents! You are our daughter and that is the only truth!"

"Yeah, your mother is right." Papa stood up and walked toward us and hugged her together. "You are our daughter and this truth could be never changed. No matter what happens, you only belong to this family."

I cried and this time in happiness. All doubts were gone from me and I am always willing to believe my parents' words.

I looked at my brother, who is staring at us. Suddenly, he frowned. "And what about me? You guys always forget me in front of your daughter!" He complained like a child and we all laughed.

Papa asked him to come forward and he also didn't forget my husband either.

"This is my family. With my grandchild on his way, this family is complete for now." He announced.

He is right. This family is complete with us, for now.

A family never grow up with its blood always, it needs people and their strong bonds to keep it all together. And this is my family, who always stays together no matter what. And I will make sure, it always remains like this. Happy and healthy.

Soon, the car pulled into the mansion. Sage came out of the driver's seat and opened the door for us. Alessandro helped me get out of the car.

Today, lots of things have come clear in my life but that's just a part of this life. Nothing has changed with it. I am still my parents' daughter. My brother's sister and the daughter of Edwards.

Aless supported me all the while and we both went inside our home. My family wanted to come along, but I assured them that I am fine and I really am.

I have overcome it and not that one worthless shit could ruin my life and the truth I know.

I have seen my family happy and that is all I want in my life. Nothing else matters. Now, it's time to wait for the little one inside me to come out and light up more happiness in the family.

Alessandro accompanied me the whole time as I freshened up and we have our dinner together. And after dinner, we went to bed.

I browsed through the Internet and there was no news of mine. Aless and Antonio already informed me that they have taken care of it. Moreover, no news channel was on as Ast. Cameron was present there. Instead, the news of Smith and Camilla's scheme went viral. I also let go of John the designer. because he just suffered helplessly. And reported against the main culprits.

With this viral news, it would be hard for that duo to stand in both the entertainment and corporate industries.

It's good that it didn't go viral or it would affect Mama and Papa a lot. Then I went to the designer community group and they posted the three rank holders. And guess what? I won!

I also received an email from Adornet Art Gallery. They congratulated me for winning the exhibition and also apologised for the inconvenience that happened.

I got the selected prize too. A million dollar check and a one-year scholarship to study in France's one of the best design schools.

I guess, I would donate the money to needy people and only accept the scholarship. Even I decided to give the money to John for his mother's treatment.

Releasing a sigh of relief, I closed the laptop and kept it on the bedside table and turned to the man beside me.

He is sitting with his laptop on his lap, but only staring at the screen, drowned in thoughts. His eyes were stuck on the screen but the frown on his face gave away the tension that he is going through.

I was so busy with my own conflicts that I did not realise his tensions. What happened to him? Should I ask?
