VICTORIA'S POV...

"He looks just like me..." Papa said in a dreamy tone looking down at his newly born grandson, who is just three days old.

"Looks like you? Heh!" Antonio commented with a smug face. "My nephew looks like me, the end of the discussion." He declared spreading his arms as if feeling a satisfied breeze, only to get smacked on his head by Papa.

"How could that be! Look at his face! He looks like me!" Papa argued, while...

"I guess, all of you lost your eye sights!" Grandma spoke all of a sudden. "My great-grandson has exact features like his grandfather." She smiled, clasping her hands together and smiling at my sleeping son.

"Yeah... He does look like all of you other than me." Alessandro's duh tone came from the corner of the room, as my eyes turned to him. He is focused on slicing apples for me.

All the members only looked at him once and ignore him in The next second before continuing their dreamy imaginations.

I heard Mama chuckle and frown a little. "Don't you

So beautiful… although I wished there was scene where the grandmother found out the truth about Camilla. I would have loved to know what she had to say. Even with the kidnapping of Victoria that would have been dope.

His brows furrowed as he hold him in his arms so cautiously. Almost a week has passed and I have only seen a caring and lovable husband and a father in Aless. These days, he didn't have time to rest, while taking care of us. but, he never let out a single sigh of his mouth. Even though there are lots of people in the house, Aless was always on his toes. He even, transferred his office to home, so that none of us face any trouble and he is always beside us. Leo is a lucky child to have a father like Aless. Soon, he kept Leo on his little cot and came to the bed. He kissed the side of my head before pulling me in his arms and kissing my head. And soon, we drifted to a comfortable silence.

    ALESSANDRO'S POV... These days, I have been busy with my son and fiancee. For some time, I couldn't concentrate on my work. So, I thought to visit the office this morning. I need to take care of something by my physical presence. As I was getting ready, I heard a soft touch on my back and soon, a pair of soft arms hugged me from behind. That made me smile. No matter what happens, I always felt refreshed when this woman is beside me. Holding her hand, I brought her before me. Her green eyes that were shining brightly as she is glowing with her motherly aura. I always intend to keep it that way. Bending down a little, I kissed softly on her petal like lips. She tastes delicious, always. She pouted a little. "You could have taken rest a more a little longer, couldn't you? You look so tired, Aless." She touched my cheeks lightly. I leaned on her touch and kissed her palm, tilting my head a little. "Don't worry, baby. I am fine." Her eyes narrowed at me. "Yeah, I know that well." She

    ALESSANDRO'S POV... The moment I watched Dominic sitting on my chair, I felt my soul burn in betrayal and fury. So, I was right. Dominic is doing everything to take me down from my position, isn't he? At least, his expression is speaking of his intention this time. I walked inside my office, suppressing the urge to punch his sorry face directly. "What are you doing in my office?" I asked angrily. Couldn't suppress the bitterness rolling off of me. Dominic leaned back on the chair, crossing his legs together and smiled wickedly, "Well, a director should seat on his chair, don't you think, brother? I am just doing what I should do a long time back." He said. His tone sounded so calm yet the hidden threat was visible there too. "What do you mean?" I stepped forward, getting alarmed by his demands. Dominic chuckled as if he is enjoying this situation. Well, he is doing that for sure. He picked up a white file that was placed just before him on the desk and threw the file toward me o

    This chapter will be written on AUTHOR'S POV... 'He is not your brother at all!' Grandma cried out. "What!?" Aless asked, shocked. Grandma Nina nodded her head, looking elsewhere. "Yes, Aless. He is not your elder brother, he... He is your uncle!" She closed her eyes in despair. Grandma continued, "He is a sinner! A sin, that is not yet explained. A sin, I am holding in my chest for the last thirty-two years." She turned her head to see Dominic and disgust rolled off her. At this moment, all she wanted to do is to kill this bustard for returning to her grandson's life. Dominic watched her too. His face was expressionless but, the turmoil going on inside him is not so easy to erase. Grandma once again turned to Aless. She continued with her eyes closed, "He is the son of your grandfather's affair with your mother!""They were in that disgusting relationship before your mother, Carmella was married to your father. That wrench was your grandfather's assistant at first." She closed

    VICTORIA'S POV... Anxious, shocked, hurt and betrayed all these words could describe my Aless at this moment. Standing before the operation theatre, staring at the red light on top of the entrance blankly. Even though he is not revealing his expressions, I know, I could feel his sorrows. For the past couple of days, lots of things have happened around us. Our life has just turned into a drama. I would say, it's more dramatic nowadays than those scripted dramas. First, my kidnap. Second, Leo's premature birth. Dominic's revenge on Aless by buying Reywalt's shares. The truth of his identity and now this ... Lots of things are going on with him right now. and I just wish to take all of it from him and give him some time to relax. Some burdensand pains people need to bear alone and they can't be shared with anyone even if they want to. I walked beside him and touched his shoulder. He didn't respond but kept staring at that red light as if it was deciding his entire life's events. And

  • Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE!    Will you leave me?

    A Few Days Later of Grandma Nina's Death... VICTORIA'S POV... I lifted Leo slightly and patted his back as he let out a small blurp after breast feeding. My son is growing stronger day by day. Now he opens his eyes and looks around with those bluish green eyes of him. He even smiles whenever he sees his father. He started recognising people around him I guess. Especially his father. Whenever Aless is around he would turn to him and his little mouth would curve a little. Even he looks like a small version of Aless. With time, I guess, he would look a lot like him. Honestly, sometimes I do feel jealous when he only smiles at his father, Yet, also feel happy knowing, his warm smile helps Aless to forget his deep sorrows. Leo watched me when I once again hold him flat in my arms as if thinking, what this woman is doing? And then closed his eyes again with a little pout. I couldn't help but kiss the little pout. Sometimes I want to bite him! Is that even normal? I don't know! But, he

  • Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE!    Don't provoke me

    One more month later... ALESSANDRO'S POV... I lifted my son's little legs together and smiled at him before wiping his little butt after he dirtied his pants. He watched me with his bluish-green eyes and his hands were intertwined together. This little angel has exquisite eyes. I swear, his eyes are the rarest eyes I have seen ever in my life. I don't know if the colour of his eyes would change with his growing up, but I prefer them to stay like this. They are so elite and delightful to look at. So deep and enchanting like his mother. Wiping his lower area, I covered him again and smiled, "That's it, we are done." Immediately, his little mouth curved a little in a smile as if he understood my words. That made my heart flutter and my throat heaved up with a slight guilt. I don't know why he does that. Because sometimes I felt like I don't deserve that smile. When it was the crucial time, I didn't choose him but his mother. Shouldn't he be choosing his mother over me? Because Vic

    LILY... "He has been stabbed over 15 times. The killer might hate him so much. His neighbour felt something was wrong and went to check. Sigh... The poor woman must be in trauma after the scene." Max said. "Umm... Anything else?" I asked, Sitting in the opposite of his desk. "I mean, who could be the killer? Any hint?" Max shook his head. "Not yet." He looked around before lowering his tone, "And you must not be too curious about this matter. He was involved in the politician murder case and now this happened. It's dangerous, Lily." Closing my notebook, I chuckled. "Are you seeing me after danger the first time?" He sighed, narrowing his eyes, "Better my name is not connected to this case. Inspector Brian was my senior and this is morally a crime for me to share any inside news with you. But..." He let out a helpless huff. "What could I do? You're a friend I couldn't deny." "You're an amazing friend both personally and professionally." I stood up. "I'll leave now." "Hmm, don't

    LILY... I yawned, stretching my hands and fluttered my eyes open. The narrow ray of light was entering through the little window of my room. I smiled. It's a good and very free morning of my life. I couldn't help the grin broke on my lips... So refreshing to think that I kicked out a huge toxicity of my life! Sooo Good! Fluttering my eyes again, I looked at the small window. But, why does it feel so close this morning? I mean, sleeping on the couch, this window is a bit away from me, isn't it? Or, was I wrong? As if to answer my question, something firm wrapped around my waist, making me confused as well as alert... "Good Morning..." A deep husky tone muttered beside my ear. Fuck! I immediately jumped out of bed only to fall on my butt "AaGh!" I cried out and looked at the intruder only to gasp in agony, "Leo!" His bluish-green gaze was on me, frowning. "What stunt are you playing this morning?" He asked in a groggy voice, turning me dumbfounded. "I am playing!?" I barked at h

    LEO... I woke up in the late afternoon. Couldn't sleep the entire night thinking about the ridiculous shit I did in the club. I fucking kissed her! Her soft lips felt like cotton candy, and her soft berry scent was delicious... Since the day I met her, I wanted to kiss her and finally, I did, but... Now I want more even though it happened at a crucial moment, I couldn't stop thinking the feeling of her! That woman was insanely climbing all over my thoughts! After that kissing incident, I kept myself shut to not do something more crazy. Though I don't know how long I could maintain this peace. Every time I think of her, my imagination runs wild and the effect is clear under my trousers! Sigh... Sitting on the bed, I looked around. Lily was nowhere to be seen. Wait... Where is she? It's Sunday today and she's still out for work? Such a pathetic life of a reporter! That woman really does not care about her safety, does she? What if she faces sort of the same troubles? I'm not beside

    LILY... Not even three days passed and on the fourth day, I was standing right in front of the hell. I swore to not appear here after that insult but here I am, again I am here because Mom called me this morning. At the age of Fifteen, I left this mansion. It's been over nine years since she called me. I know I shouldn't after that night but I couldn't deny her because of the promise I made to Theo. If it wasn't for Grandma, I wouldn't bother to show up here ever. Taking a deep breath I stepped inside. Surprisingly, no one stopped me and I went to the hall. Alyssa, Ruby and Dad were Sitting there. The environment was gloomy. Something definitely happened here. "You called me?" I directly asked Ruby. For some reason, my usual fear wasn't working anymore. Probably because Grandma's safety was managed. She looked up at me. Her cold eyes were sending chills at my way. Beside her, Alyssa was leaning on her shoulder with her bloodshot eyes. "How dare you get in here!?" She roared at m

    LILY... Lord! I messed up! What to do now!? It's not my first time doing such a thing, yet I am frozen here. And before I realised, I was pulled back hastily as Leo covered the crack. "W-we need to leave," I muttered before opening the storeroom door to leave but paused at the sight of those men. Shit! They smelled us here! Immediately closing the door, I backed up. Hope they don't enter here. "What the fuck!? Are you always this clumsy!?" Leo hissed. "Who gave you the access to become a crime reporter!?" I was already annoyed and his taunts were worsening it. However, my annoyance died inside when footsteps neared the store room. Shadows of suspicious footsteps were just outside the door. I backed away, hitting my back at Leo's chest. I could feel his rigid figure. The knob of the door twisted and my heartbeat stopped for a moment. Suddenly, Leo grabbed me by the waist, pushing me on something hard and his lips followed mine next, stiffing me on the place. In the next second th

    LILY... Sigh... I stood helplessly in the phone booth, begging that annoyed specimen to bring my phone. Could my day be any worse than this? "Please, Leo. I need my phone now." I pleaded again. "You're asking a sick man, who is almost bedded because of you, to bring your phone to you because You're careless? Hmm, interesting..." His reply came from the other side. "What if I decline?" "No, please! I beg you! I need my phone, Leo. It's important, please!" I said, defeated. No more stingy with my pleas. "Ah, I don't want to... But, I guess, I will consider you this time only..." He paused and I was eager, "Only what?" I urged impatiently. "Only if you make breakfast for me every morning and don't nag me sleeping on your bed." "....." I could definitely feel a smirk on his face even on the phone. This fucking arshole! "Leo, don't you think it's too much?" I gritted my teeth. "Is it?" He asked as if there was no one innocent than him! "Alright then, help yourself." "No, wait!" I

  • Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE!    CHAPTER 20

    LILY... Rushing out for evidence at any hour was a part of my job. I accepted it as a part of my life because once I dreamt of becoming a crime reporter, I knew every day would be a new challenge for me. When Grandma used to live with me, she used to nag always for my safety and I used to kiss her cheeks and rush out with a smile. Since she was admitted to the hospital, no one did her part for me. Tonight was the same or it could be, if Leo didn't show concern for me before I left the house. Though I was indifferent at that moment my heart convulsed with a warm feeling I had never tasted for more than a year. He was a stranger who somewhat forced into my life. A bit annoying but harmless. As a woman, staying with him under the same roof didn't give me insecurity. Though I would never admit this in front of him, I could not deny the fact either. I don't know who he is, where he came from or what happened to him. But Leo is a gentleman. A woman's instinct could never fail when it's

  • Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE!    CHAPTER 19.

    LEO... Is it even a time to go out? Didn't she remember what happened this evening? Fuck! I scratched my neck, feeling disturbed. Kept watching time again and again. It's almost Midnight and that woman is out of home! Does she even care for her security for once? I am stressed! More because I am worried about her when I shouldn't be! I mean, she is practically a stranger, but still, I am drawn to her. What happened this evening was proof. I have no memory, no particular known situation nor I am aware of my skills. I should have stayed away from those men and the most I could do was run away with her when she proposed. But, I didn't. My blood boiled when I saw the fear and helplessness in her eyes. It felt like I could rip the world apart who dared to hurt her. Those hazel eyes were pleading for salvation. In that moment something stirred in me and I wanted to keep her safe. I don't know if those guys were her enemy or some random teasers. Whoever they were, they shouldn't cross m
