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

ALESSANDRO'S POV

After returning from work, I discovered that Victoria, who typically arrives home before me due to her pregnancy, wasn't in the living room to greet me like usual. Frowning, I saw Sophia opening the door for me and nodded politely.

"Young master, good evening," she said.

I nodded at her. "Good Evening."

Even though my mood turned sour, I could not be rude to the woman who always treated me like her own child.

I walked inside, and my wife was not in the living space. I turned to Sophia; she only smiled, sending me a knowing look.

"Searching for Young Mistress?" She asked.

Nothing is hidden from her as she constantly witnesses our love and affection. Sometimes, she would jokingly say, 'Oh! My eyes are burning! These young people are so full of fire!'

Only after Victoria's departure did I fully realize her affection for her. And upon Victoria's return been pregnancy, Sophia and the other maids took extra care to ensure her well-being, and I couldn't be more glad!

I nodded, not hiding my displeased expression.

Sophia sighed.

"These days, you younger generation tends to disregard the opinions of older individuals! She should rest, have fun and do some basic exercises at this time, but what is she doing? She is staying all day before that brainless stupid machine, and you guys are addicted too much to that thing!"

"She did not even care for herself today to the extent that I had to feed her forcefully! You should help her understand the importance of looking after herself."

Complaining, she walked away, shaking her head and murmuring her displeasure.

Staying before the stupid brainless machine? Well, I know she is talking about a laptop or computer. But Victoria is not addicted too much to electronic devices, unlike me. What is going on?

Without delay, I hurried up the stairs and swung open the door to our bedroom, only to find that Victoria was not inside.

I closed the door and searched for her in the library. She is still not there. Finally, I went to my home office, only to find her sitting at the desk I fitted beside mine for her.

Once we got back together, I retracted my vow of keeping her out of this place. I used to prefer being alone here to avoid encountering her and feeling frustrated without knowing the truth.

Now, she has access to every place in and outside this house. She has undoubtedly established a secure position within my heart, with half of it exclusively belonging to her. So, of course, worldly places are too easy to reach.

I knocked on the door, watching her stare deeply at the computer's screen. Aware of her concentration on work, she remained unaware of my presence and uttered, "Enter unless it pertains to health matters or food."

My brows raised, hearing her words. Did she just say that? Wait, she thinks I am Sophia? Does she have any sense of time?

I did not make a sound and walked toward her. I stood before the desk and stared at her. She was still busy with her work, and suddenly, maybe she realized something was wrong and held her head up only to gasp.

"Alessandro...!?"

"Yes, I am," I replied, slightly sarcastic. I couldn't help the displeasure.

She blinked her eyes at me and then scrunched her nose, "What happened? Why are you here? When did you come?" She cutely scratched her nose.

I couldn't hold the anger in me before her innocence. I sighed, holding the urge to roll my eyes at her.

"What time is it, Victoria?" I tried to sound firm and in control, not a-swayed-away husband.

She blinked again and then picked up the phone placed a little away from her. She watched the screen and gasped once again.

"Oh, it's seven thirty!"

She didn't have the sense of time all this while!

"Yeah, it's seven thirty!" My hands clasped on her desk as I leaned a little forward. "And here you are, still seated, engaged in some unknown activity on the computer! You didn't even bother to wait for me downstairs today and completely disregarded your well-being!"

She smiled sheepishly, stood up from the chair, and walked toward me. "Well, I..."

I raised my hand to stop her.

"Nope! No, stay away." I said firmly, not letting her adorable look control me!

However, she appeared to have the intelligence to manipulate the situation as she promptly held my hand and flattered her lashes at me with a slight pout. "I am sorry, baby."

And I melted away! Danm me!

She took the chance and got close to me, her arms wrapped around my neck, taking me into a sweet kiss.

Her green eyes turned to me, lit up, and she smiled. "Thank you so much, Aless!" She said, breaking the kiss.

"For?" I raised my brow at her.

"I am selected for the bid! I can participate in the exhibition all because of you! Thank you! They only wanted me as an independent designer and not presenting E Shine, but I am happy! I have already discussed this with Antonio, and he is completely fine with the arrangement." She hugged me again, and I smiled, knowing she was happy.

I will go to great lengths to ensure this woman's happiness. Even if it means my death, I will embrace it joyfully and without hesitation.

"So, you were working on that design all day?" I asked, not sounding so pleased.

She pouted and nodded her head. "It's a great opportunity, but there are only fifteen days to go. I need to work on the design daily," She said, pouting a little.

"But, don't you usually work with pen and paper? In a little old fashion way?" I asked, glancing at the computer.

"Well, I usually do. But, this design is very special, and I need to do some experimental graphics for that, so..." She shrugged.

"Okay, but it's done for today. Now, let's go. You are becoming rebellious day by day!" I picked her up in my arms in a bridal style. Victoria gasped, "Wait, I didn't...!"

"No worries about that!" I walked out with Victoria in my arms, or she would spend the whole night here too!

************

Even though I brought her out of the office that night, Victoria stayed completely in the office room for the next few days, spending most of her time in front of the computer designing the drawings. At some point, she didn't even allow me to enter, only on one condition: she needed to take her meals and enough water and rest on time, which she agreed to.

These days, I was responsible for cooking for her every day.

After working tirelessly for thirteen days and making many sacrifices, Victoria finally finished her design. While I was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, she called me from the home office to share the good

news.

Delighted by her words, she invited me to join her upstairs.

Excitedly, I hurried into the office, only to discover her joyfully observing the design she had crafted. I am so excited to see it; she didn't let me see it these thirteen days!

As soon as I walked in, she greeted me enthusiastically and gestured towards the chair beside her, which she seemed to have prepared for me while patting it lovingly.

I went there and sat beside her. She turned the computer a little to me for a better view and asked, "How is it? What do you think?" Her voice filled with excitement. The moment my eyes fell on the design, my eyes were stuck on the screen.

The computer showed a dark blue and a mysterious colour that, at first glance, it looked like I was travelling through a time warp, surrounded by a gorgeous nebula.

I was stunned by the design. Honestly, I never expected Victoria to be so talented!

I turned to my woman, feeling so damn proud! Her confidence was so freaking true the first time! She deserves a chance!

"What is the inspiration behind this design?" I asked.

Victoria cleared her throat and then turned to me as she started to tell me about her design concept.

"This is the first design I have created using the computer. It's very special, and I named it 'Vast Eye'. Just look at the endless nebulae like a pair of eyes. I think this exhibition will be the first platform for me to showcase my designing skills as a designer and not just as the CEO of E Shine."

She looked at me with her bright eyes full of happiness and excitement about the unknown future.

"What do you think?" Victoria asked, staring at me with her big, fluttering, enchanting green eyes, only to set the fire of lust inside my body after thirteen long days of separation!
