Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 40 It’s her…
ALESSANDRO’S POV
I got ready in my dark blue suit. This is one of the gifts from Victoria she bought for me on our first marriage anniversary.
I remembered that night, I stayed out all night because of a meeting, and she was awake all night with a cake and this gift. When I came back home, she was sad, but that made me annoyed.
She didn’t say anything to me or even question me about where I was the whole night. Why was I so late? But I returned with Camilla beside me.
She only watched us with a strange emotion in her eyes and asked if I wanted breakfast.
With a shake of my head, I walked away, leaving Camilla in her line of sight, and whenever I recall that gaze, I am reminded of what it is… Pain… She suffered with her mouth shut. She must have thought I spent my night with Camilla, which is wrong, I didn’t!
Fuck! It was a coincidence that I met Camilla on my way home!
Now, when I think about that certain memory, I want to slap myself so hard for being ridiculously stupid.
She was silent even when I despised her. She was silent when I never took her side. She was silent when my behavior was questionable.
Why?
Why didn’t she slap me in the hardest way possible and bring me back to my senses? She could have shouted at me, and she could have demanded an answer from me. That was her right.
Instead, she kept silent and endured everything I threw her way.
She was silent for three years… at my every action. And when she opened her mouth, she wanted… divorce.
That one act of hers made me realize how much of an idiot I am. Now, when I am chasing her, she doesn’t even bother to look at me as if she has forgotten me from the depth of her soul.
I knew I deserved it. I knew I should let her go. But the selfish bustard inside me is not capable of that. I want her back. Only her.
But the things that happened over the last month seemed to create more confusion between us.
Sigh…
I looked at the suit I was wearing. She really knows what suits me and what does not. This is my first time wearing this, and I regret not wearing it before.
But I did it now.
I don’t know if she would recognize this suit, yet I am doing it. E Shine has invited people from the corporate and media words as today the heiress of E Shine is gonna come into public.
I only agreed to accept the invitation because of Victoria. If E Shine is hosting it, she definitely would be there.
With the final look on me again, I came down, and immediately my mood turned sour watching that annoying face, Camilla White.
Pain in the ass, I swear. I couldn’t buy her the ring ‘beloved,’ and now her demands started increasing with time. I heard she started introducing herself as my fiance, and fucking shit; I can’t even avoid her in any way!
Just one way to pay her debt, and I am throwing her out of my life.
When I came down, I also found Lisa was ready to accompany us. Thank God I am not alone. It’s not like I like my cousin much, but at least she will also be going with us. She is as bitchy as her mother. Yet, it would be somewhat good that her presence at least stops Camilla from clinging to me continuously. Though that also never stopped me from being shameless.
However, for some reason, she wasn’t as clingy today. She just hugged me once after the first meet when her nail almost dug inside my neck skin.
I pushed her away from me irritatingly. After that, she didn’t try to do anything. She just made a sad face and said, ‘I will wait for you to come to me willingly, Aless, and I know you will.’ She said with a firm determination as if she knew I would go to her.
Yeah, dream on.

Soon, my limousine stopped before the huge resort of Edwards, where they held the party for their only daughter. Growing up with a lavish life as the youngest child of the family. She must be a princess, like a spoilt rich daughter.
I have to admit; the place is amazing and stunningly decorated. Also, have space for people to take rest and move freely. It was a cozy setting for them.
“I have heard the heiress of E Shine is particularly beautiful!” Lisa exclaimed beside me. Excited because of no reason. “And talented, too,” she added.
“I hope we can meet personally and continue our plan…” Camilla started speaking, and both of them started talking about some shit that I didn’t understand nor was interested in.
Ignoring them, my eyes started roaming around, searching for Victoria, and I almost looked at every woman, but none of them was the one I was searching for. Didn’t she arrive or something? Or she won’t come? No! She must have been here! She has a close relationship with… Antonio.
Though that thought angered me and clenched my heart with an unknown fear, that was the only reason that she would appear here.
As I kept searching for her, I felt a little suffocated inside. My head was feeling a little heavy.
Sigh…
Maybe, I can take a little rest in one of the rooms. I looked around, and Camilla and Lisa were interacting with other people. I didn’t bother to inform them as I walked to the reception and asked for an empty room for some time.
One receptionist took me to a VIP section and opened room number one-thirty for me.
I went inside. The receptionist smiled politely. “Please let us know if you need anything, sir.”
“Hmm,” I only hummed, looking around, and she left after closing the door.
I felt exhausted and sat on the sofa with a glass of wine. Suddenly, I did not feel so good; maybe, the depression of not seeing Victoria was consuming me.
With the passing time with a glass of wine in hand, I was drowned in thoughts of Victoria and suddenly, I started feeling a little warm in my body.
Decreasing the temperature of the air-conditioner to minus one, I settled again. But somehow, that also was not helping me as I started feeling warmer now. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Soon, my nose started realizing a sweet scent. It was so light that you would not feel it if you didn’t have a sharp nose, and I do have that.
The heaviness in my head increased as my heart started tightening. I loosened my tie to let the suffocation go, but it didn’t work, but it was as if every breath I took was making me warmer.
I could feel my blood rushing to my cheeks and my body temperature increased with time.
I don’t know what is happening, but the situation somehow felt a lot more familiar. Soon, I started loosening all the clothes on me; I removed my suit and unbuttoned the first few buttons of the shirt.
Maybe, I should drink some water; I picked up the bottle and gulped half a bottle in a go.
However, it slowly worsened my condition. At this point, my body was going out of control.
I think I need something… Fuck! I don’t know what is happening, but I need some release! This…
FUCK! And suddenly, it hits me… This is not the first time this has happened; It happened three years ago.
I felt the sweet fragrance, the high temperature, the need for release, and the tightness in my body. It’s the result of drugs! Fuck! I have been drugged… Once again.
Anger coursed through me. I threw the bottle away, not caring about water spreading on the floor.
I stood up, and my legs felt weak due to the reaction of the drug. Still, I managed to stand straight. I can’t let the same thing happens to me again. Three years ago, it happened, and I was forced into a marriage. That time it was Victoria who did it. Wait…
The same thing, the same way of using the drug, and the same sweet fragrance. Could it be…
Suddenly…
“Alessandro!” I heard a shocked but familiar tone as I turned around with a heavy breath only to confirm my thoughts. I was right.
It’s her…
Victoria…
Once again…
