Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 129

Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! A guy who called was…

VICTORIA’S POV …

I yawned and stretched my hands, waking up while rubbing my eyes. That stingy man, really exhausted me last night! I rolled over to hold my husband but met with emptiness only.

I frowned and turned to the other side to see if he is beside Leo. But no. Leo is sleeping alone in his cot. My eyes fell on the closed bathroom door.

Is he there? Guess, I need to check. I get off the bed lazily and went to the bathroom only to meet silence again. Wait, he is not in the bathroom either? Then where is he?

Soon, I checked in the walk-in closet and the verandah. All of them are empty. Slowly, I dragged myself to the bed and slumped at the edge, lying flat on the bed, wearing only his white shirt.

I don’t remember wearing this. Maybe, he put it for me. But, the question is, where is he at this time? Should I call? Generally, he would be sleeping at this hour and not out of bed!

I thought once before stretching my hand to pull my mobile phone and suddenly something dropped as I picked up my phone. Frowning, I lowered my head and found a note.

Extending my hand, I picked up the note and laid flat on the bed before opening it. Oh! It’s from Aless … I started reading,

‘Hey, Beautiful,

I may not be by you after you are awake this morning. I am going to the office ….’ Oh! Did he go to the office? My heart fluttered reading the line until I started reading further.

‘For the last one month, I thought about something again and again. Grnadma’s inhuman deed to Dominic. it’s hurtful for me and the truths are way too difficult to accept. Everything… Still, I don’t justify Grandma’s action and I think as her closest family member, I need to take a step to make it right. To make it up to Dominic because like me, he is innocent too. He never asked for the things that had happened to him. So, after thinking for a long time, I have decided to let go of Reywalt and give it to him. Maybe, this is how I can keep my heart in little ease.

I know this is something I should share with you beforehand because you did a lot for me to support and hold my position. But Victoria, you are mine and I know, you want to see me happy. I know if no one understands, you will and be my strength. That is the reason I could hold myself strong after everything and gain my courage, my love.

I have thought about what you said that day. Staying home and taking care of our children isn’t a bad idea, huh? (a wink sign)

Jokes apart, I might do my work already and soon will be by your side.

Your charming husband, (wink) Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Alessandro.’

I stared at the note and suddenly felt a prickly feeling on my cheeks. I touched there only to gasp in silence. Tears… I am crying.

I am not surprised by my tears though. This note of his shows how much he has changed and turned mature. This state of mind wasn’t there when I spend my first three years of marriage with him. He was

an arrogant, egoistic and proud man who never really counted others’ feelings and always did his mind’s.

But this Alessandro has long passed those behaviours. Now, he is a caring husband. A lovable father. A mature son and a Man. Yes, he is a man now and I am so proud of him.

I kept the note aside and freshened up while going downstairs with Leo, leaving him to my mother. All day mama papa’s time would go playful with their grandson and the urge for Antonio’s marriage has toned down a bit.

I turned my head to Antonio, standing at the entrance of the living room while leaning leisurely on the door frame.

“What? No office today, lazy ars?” I raised my brow at him and he only narrowed his eyes. “Yeah, do have. Just taking a little rest for a day.”

I nodded, standing beside him as I watched him from the corner of my eyes. He seemed a little tired. I touched his shoulder. “Are you alright, Ant? Don’t lie to me. You don’t seem to be fine.”

He hold my hand and kissed the back of it and smiled, “Nothing, you know the workloads of a director. I can’t even take a maternity leave, after all.” He playfully winked and I breathed peacefully, “That’s true though.”

I replied, suppressing the possibility that he lied to me about his worries. I didn’t pressurise him and hoped for the best for my brother.

We both chuckled when he asked, “Heard he went to the office today? What do you think? he can handle it? Dominic will be there after all.” He sounded concerned.

Yeah, he is. These days, their relationship turned to a new stage. A stage of brotherhood. Their conflicts dissolved and they became pals now.

I nodded, “Don’t worry about him. He is strong now and enough to handle.” I assured him, silently avoiding the part about Aless’s real intention as I realised that he didn’t tell it to anyone.

Honestly, I don’t want to tell this matter to anyone by myself. Because it’s his thing to tell. I am sure, he will do it soon.

We both fell into silence as we watched our parents playing with their grandson. I was about to ask Antonio more about his company when my phone started ringing.

I excused myself a little away and walked aside. It was Sage. He wouldn’t call without any important matter. I received the call, “What is it?”

“Ma’am, I was investigating the time when you were kidnapped. It always felt that there is something we missed, that is why I dug the part more. I just find out something …” He paused, making my heart jump for no reason.

That time has passed, right? What news there would be everything I know. Then why am I scared and feeling uneasy?

I gulped the lump of discomfort and toughened my tone, “What is it?”

“I find out the man who called you that day, using President Edwards’s phone.”

“And?”

“The man was David, President Edwards’s assistant …” He said.
