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

ALESSANDRO'S POV ...

"I have let it go... My position and Reywalt." I started speaking as I felt Victoria silently holding my hand. I just left a note for her this morning and as I came back, she didn't even ask me the reason but supported me in silence, giving me enough courage that I needed.

I looked at the people in front of me. They didn't say anything, only Vincent (Mr Edwards) nodded at me, asking me to speak.

I sighed inwardly and continued, "I know this sounded weird at this point, but what Grandma did back then wasn't right to Dominic either. He might come an illegitimate way but it was never his fault. I also understand Grandma's situation and appreciate her courage and tolerance power. Still, it doesn't justify when she tried to kill Dominic. Moreover ... That day five years ago, it was Victoria who accidentally was present in that fire incident and Dominic almost lost his life while saving her. And if he didn't appear to save her that night, I wouldn't get her." I kissed the back of her hand and continued again, "Yeah, he tried to harm me but his revenge against me was natural for trying to kill him. And to make it up to him, I left Reywalt." I explained and sat straight, looking at them.

"You must be thinking then what will I do? Don't worry about it, Reywalt is not my only business. It was the business I inherited. I have expanded my own different businesses while taking care of Reywalt. I can take care of my wife and son well enough and won't let them suffer."

I roamed my eyes on all three of them one by one and their expressions were blank. Suddenly, I felt a little squeeze on my hand and when turned to see Victoria, she smiled at me.

I can see glints in her emerald-green eyes. "I believe in you, Aless." She said, soft but firm.

And I swear this is the only thing I needed in my life. I don't need anything else. Even if no one supports me, I don't care. This only woman beside me is enough for me to fight against the world.

I returned the smile squeezing her hand lightly in reply. And then turned to face the other members.

"I am certain that you will take good care of them, Alessandro." Arianna (Mrs Edwards) spoke first. "I also believe that the decision you made is good for you. And as long as you guys are happy, we don't care about anything else." She smile at us and both Antonio and Vincent nodded in agreement.

I sighed inwardly in relief. I guess the problem has been solved finally. Just a little bit of cautiousness to follow against Dominic. Because I can't lose Victoria and I know, she won't leave me and Leonardo for anything. Just need to stop Dominic from hurting her or our baby at any cost.

VICTORIA'S POV...

In the evening, as planned I got ready and came out of the walk-in closet, wearing a black tracksuit with a white and black Nike. As I picked up my phone, Aless put Leo on his cot and came to me. "Should I come with you?" He asked and I shook my head.

"You don't have to, baby. John and Sage are coming with me. Moreover, it's a new business deal. You need to put some trust in my client handling abilities." I pouted.

He pulled me closer and kissed my head. "I have full confidence in you." I smiled and kissed his lips before parting from him.

Yeah, I lied a little to him. I had to. I can't take the risk to give him more stress when he is trying his best to come out from his own problems.

Soon, I walked out of the Manor and picked up my not so lavish black Audi and inserted the address, send by Sage in the G****e map. Just hoping everything goes well and I get to know the real reason. I reached the location in half an hour. When I came out of the car, John and Sage were already there.

"Does he live here?" I looked around, Asking. The place is not lavish much and is average.

Sage nodded. "Yes, ma'am. He is at home now."

"Alone?" I asked and they looked at each other before shaking their heads. "With his wife and daughter."

"Did you check his background?" I turned to John this time and he nodded.

"Yes, ma'am. At first glance, his background seems clean but while investigating further, I found out an interesting fact." He said.

"Stop creating dramas in between! What is the fact?" I asked, feeling a little bit annoyed.

John continued, "Before joining E Shine, David used to work with the Manchinis. One of the infamous Italian Mafia Families. He wasn't in connection with them for over six years. I guessed it's because of his wife and daughter. He loves them so much and his wife belongs to a normal background. He fell in love when he was working with the Mafia and then after being with his wife, he let go off the life and came to America and settled down here, changing his identity."

I frowned, "So? How does it connect with my kidnapping?"

"That is the issue, ma'am. Everything was going good but a few days ago, The head of the Machinis visited his place!"

"So?" I raised my brow.

"I don't know what they talked about but a few days later, you were kidnapped." He explained and I blinked.

"Are you saying that my kidnapping is related to that Mafia's visit to his home? How does it even possible? I didn't even know that Mafia nor my family does!" It was really confusing!

John shook his head. "I don't know, ma'am. But, in the investigation, there was no connection of him with Miss Camilla or the White family."

This time Sage nodded his head, agreeing with him. He was silent all this while and spoke, "I even tried to find out David's connection with Mr Dominic. But, no positive result came out. He doesn't even have any need for money. His family is going well. I don't know why, but it seems like the connection with the Mafia Manchini's arrival and his involvement in your kidnapping is somewhat connected."

I stayed silent for some time. When there is no connection, could it be possible that their guess is right? I pinched my lower lip with my thumb and index finger and let it go.

I guess, this answer only could be given by David himself ...
