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

VICTORIA'S POV ...

I froze on the spot, hearing his words. Is it that because Aless was so worried last night? I felt a headache at this point as I pinched my forehead with my fingers.

I never thought Dominic would take such a step, like buying the shares of Reywalt! But why? Doesn't he build a company on his own? Okay, even if he wants his part of the share as the elder son of Devonte s, shouldn't he ask that normally?

I am certain that Aless would happily half of it toward his brother! He wouldn't even raise a question! But... Soon I realised one thing and that send a chill to my bones.

Is it because Dominic wants all of it? Oh! And the images from his past behaviour, specifically toward grandma flashed before my eyes.

I was guessing it right. He wasn't even slightly worried about Grandma. The feelings I have about his strange behaviour started proving as the truth! Dominic has changed in these years. He changed way too much!

Aless was so worried for these days and I didn't even know? He kept it hidden from me! Oh, Lord! And I was busy with my own things!

I... Should I leave this place? Maybe, I would come up with an excuse? Cause, at this point, I don't know how to face Dominic. If I take this project when he is messing with my husband, it won't be fair to Aless. Yeah, I should leave.

Just when I was about to turn to leave, suddenly, the door of the office opened, revealing Dominic. The moment, I looked at his face, he seemed furious after shouting inside.

He tried to go out but stopped as his eyes fell on me. Oh no! Calm down, Victoria! Yes, Calm down... I guide myself through it and finally, I was able to control my expression as I watched him with a smile. I just hope he does not notice the awkwardness in me.

Dominic's face turned shocked at first but then he immediately cover it by putting on a friendly face and asked, "Victoria! What a pleasant surprise! When did you get here?"

Yeah, just arrived when you were busy planning to get my husband on the road! I desperately wanted to say those words. But, at this moment, when I am watching him, I felt so strange.

This Dominic is not the Dominic I knew. He changed in these five years and this change is dangerous. He seemed dangerous to me as I gulped the words I want to say and smiled again at him, "Oh, I just arrived and you came out."

"You were going somewhere? Did I disturb you?" I asked immediately. Just hoping for him to say yes, because at this point I don't really know how to avoid signing the contract.

However, to my dismay, he did and smiled as if he is so happy and not acting before me.

"Oh, it's not important at all!" He immediately stepped aside, holding the door. "Why don't you come in?" He invited me inside his office.

I searched for some words to deny, but nothing appeared in my mind, so I need to follow his words helplessly.

I stepped inside and looked around. The office is designed in black and grey. A sophisticated decoration with a modern touch. In a word, his office is beautiful, but, I don't have the mood to enjoy his office.

He invited me to sit on the sofa and I sit down as he took the other one.

"So, what do you want to drink?" He asked.

Drink? with him? If it was just a moment ago, I would have agreed to eat with him even. but, not now! I smiled, shaking my head.

"I won't drink anything. I am in a little hurry." Saying, I immediately brought out the contract paper, I prepared last night, from the file and handed it to him.

Dominic wore his specs and took a fleeting look at the contract. It seemed like, he was not taking a look at the contract at all. Just showing it off! and immediately took out a pen and signed his name!

I did not expect him to do it so quickly at all! I was hoping and trying to search for a way to deny this event but, he didn't give me a chance at all!

His behaviour started making me more and more confused at this point. On one hand, he is trying to take away Reywalt from Aless. At least, his words pointed in that direction, which I heard secretly.

But, the way he approved my contract without even reading it carefully, it doesn't seem like he has any conflicts going on with Aless! What is he trying to do!?

His every movement is confusing enough. I stared at him for some time and then finally managed some courage to ask him,

"Dominic, aren't you going to stay at Devonte mansion since you already come back to New York? Grandma lives alone, you know?" I tried to sound chill and not serious and suspicious. Dominic dropped his pen on the table and leaned back onto the sofa before sighing deeply.

"Aless is now the owner of the Reywalt Corporation. He is the head of the Devonte family now. And I also have my own company, so it's not appropriate for me to go back there."

I blinked as I heard him. Didn't just a few minutes ago he was shouting on the phone because he couldn't get Reywalt's share? And now, he is changing his tone? Did I hear it wrong? Or, it's him, who is an amazing actor!

What are you Dominic Devonte? Why are you so complicated all of a sudden?

I pursed my lips and continued, "Aless won't mind." I said it and it's the truth of course. "Alessandro also won't mind sharing the property with his elder brother, you know? As the child of Devontes, you deserve to stay there."

I tried to make him understand that he doesn't need to empty harsh tricks to get Reywalt. It could be solved easily and peacefully.

I don't know if he understands my words but in the next second, his expression turned sad.

"I don't think Grandma wants me to go back to live there either."

Huh?! Grandma does not want that!? But, why would she do that!? Isn't Dominic and Aless, both her grandsons? And I have heard from Aless that, she moves both of them so much! Even she fell sick when we thought Dominic died!

My lips parted to ask him this, but his expression stopped me. I couldn't ask it anymore to hurt him.

I guess, it would be better if I ask Aless about it. He might know the real reason and if this is a misunderstanding, then it would be better for him to solve this matter.

My thoughts were broken, when I heard, "Why don't I send you to your office?" Dominic asked and I shook my head, standing up from the sofa.

"It's alright, you don't have to." I smiled at him. "My car and bodyguard are outside, waiting for me. I will be fine." Saying, I walked out of his office, not letting him follow me with another excuse to talk to me.

*********

Soon, I walked out of the office, with my thoughts still lingering around Dominic and Aless.

Dominic has made things a little messier. His appearance after five years. His strange behaviours. His confession toward me, even after knowing I am with his brother now. Everything is so confusing and messy at the same time.

Sometimes it feels like, he has any hidden intention and sometimes it feels like, all of it was just a misunderstanding!

I shook my head and decided to call Alessandro after I walked out of DW's building. I dialled Alessandro's number and the moment I was about to press the calling button, the screen of my phone changed as Antonio's name flashed on the screen.

I gasped with a slight frown. Ant? Why is he calling now?

I received the call immediately and pressed the phone to my ear, as I entered the car while Sage opened the door for me.

"Hey, brother. What is it? I asked.

But then, "Are you Antonio's friend?" A strange tone asked.

I pulled my phone before my eyes. Yeah, I am not wrong. It's Antonio's number. But, the voice does not belong to Ant and someone else?

Frowning, I pressed the phone to my ear again,

"I am his sister and who is this speaking?"

"I am Ron. Your brother Antonio fainted during his speech at the Maldini Art School today. And I saw your number in his dial list, so I called you."

"What?!" My whole body froze as everything turned blank for a second. It was a shock for me! My brother fainted!

"Wh... where is he now!? Please tell me!"

"Well, he is in the School's hospital. Please come here quickly. We need his family member here."

"Ye... yeah! OK! I am coming right away! please just look after him till I arrive. I am on my way!"

"Yes, ma'am. No worries, please arrive quickly." He said and I hung up.

"Anything wrong ma'am?" Sage asked, looking through the rearview mirror.

"Everything is wrong!" My tone heaved up. "Immediately turn the car to the Maldini Art School! I got a phone call from there. Antonio just fainted during his speech!"

Sage gasped and immediately turned the car in the School's direction. He speed up cautiously as our car started going toward the art school.

Suddenly my phone beeped as I looked down, I gasped once again. God Danm it! My phone is running out of battery! I just realised that I forgot to charge it this morning! Oh shit! I guess, I should inform Aless before the battery is dead!

Immediately, I typed a text message to Aless, "I am not going home tonight, I have to go to Maldini Art School, it's urgent."

As I send the text and a second later, the phone went dark... I just hope he received the text...
