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

VICTORIA'S POV

"What?" I heard his surprised gasp as my gaze found his eyes again.

Those blue eyes suddenly lost the spark in them and became dull. His bright expression turned sad as he stared at me in a daze.

"You think I am trying to get you back for your identity?" he asked. His tone conveyed a sense of disbelief, as if he was questioning himself. Did I think it wrong?

Fuck! He cursed suddenly and started placing on the deck, wracking his impatient fingers in his hair. He stopped and turned to me.

"How could you even think that, Victoria? I wanted you for your identity? Shit!" He shook his head and started pacing again as if he could not believe those words.

He stopped again and turned to face me, finding my gaze calmly fixed on him.

"I, Alessandro Devonte, don't need a woman with a posh identity, Victoria. I..." He shook his head and expressed his inner conflict with a pained expression. "I want you only, Victoria. Not your identity," he said. I wanted to believe his words, but I was scared after the betrayal I had gone through over time.

"How would I believe you that you don't, Alessandro? Your family has always taunted me for being a normal girl, and you have only watched, standing in one corner. Never have you stopped them nor cared about my image."

The recollection of the past disrupted my composure.

"How would I believe that you are not here because of your family's words but for me? Is there any reason to trust you, Alessandro?"

I shook my head. "Cleary, there isn't."

He rubbed his face, utterly frustrated.

"Fuck, Victoria!" He groaned and shook his head, fixating his gaze on me again. He stepped forward a bit.

"I know I have hurt you a lot. I hurt you too much that I don't deserve your forgiveness, but that doesn't mean I won't try to gain it."

"I know there is no reason for you to trust me. I have never given you the situation, and I regret my every action from the past where I never cherished you and your care."

"I was a fool, followed by my fake pride and arrogance that almost ruined me. I lost you because of those things and my stupidity, but not again."

"I don't care what others say next; I only want you and will cherish you forever. Please, Victoria..." He leaned forward, and our forehead touched. "Please, give me one last chance. If I ruin it again, which I won't for sure, I will accept any punishment you give me. I promise."

Looking around, he said, "I have arranged this date to get to know you better and to kickstart a new life together with you, Victoria. I aim to learn everything about you, and all I'm asking for is a single opportunity to do so."

His eyes and entire expression are pleading. Does he really want to be by my side now? Should I accept him? But what if he hurt me again? Lots of questions started roaming in my head.

'Oh, don't give him a chance. He is a duffer. A piece of shit.' Suddenly I heard an angry voice, and from the corner of my eyes, I found a part of me dressed black, angrily staring at Alessandro. 'You should kick him out of your life!'

'Oh, don't listen to her! She is trying to confuse you.' I heard another voice on my right shoulder. As I looked at her, she was the spitting image of my counterpart, donning a white dress and a pair of wings. 'Oh yeah? We all know who is trying to confuse and who is not!' the dark part said. 'Don't listen to her, Victoria. Kick this man out of your life. Though he is handsome, you will get even better.,' she winked. Well, I thought about that, but nothing happened.

'Don't be stupid, Victoria. Everyone deserves a second chance, and he does too. He apologized to you, and look! He even prepared prizes for you! How could you say no to such a sincere guy.'

The dark part glared at the white. 'Stop confusing her, you little white bitch. She knows well what to do. And she needs to kick the guy out and live her life alone without any disturbance.' 'Yeah, so you can cause trouble in her life, huh?' White glared at the black with the same enthusiasm.

'You are intelligent, Victoria. Your emotions now sway you away. You certainly know what is wrong and what is right. This guy is the man you have loved for three years and still do. You are even carrying his child in your womb. Won't it be a little rude to him and the child to keep them apart? Maybe he wasn't on the right path before, but now, he seems to regret his decisions. Give him a chance Victoria. For the sake of your love and the baby. Maybe, this can turn out into the happiest moment of your life?'

The white said those words, and I feel she is quite right. He has done wrong before, but now, he is trying even though he seems to fail in those tries.

Despite being ousted and insulted, Alessandro, an arrogant and proud man, persevered and continued to do his best to win me over.

He is trying to prove that his promise is not empty. After attempting to pursue him for three years, I eventually gave up. Now, he is here for the chance. It's interesting how time has come full circle and placed us in opposite positions from where we were before.

Maybe, I can give him a little chance this time. As he said, only one.

I shooed away the angels over my shoulder as my gaze fixated on the man before me. His blue eyes were expectantly watching me. He is nervous, and it's much visible.

I nodded once. "Fine, I am ready to give you a chance. But, I have a condition..."
