Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! An illusional hope
Victoria's POVOh no, no, no! Shit! I glanced at my wristwatch and then at the lengthy line of traffic in front of the signal ahead. It seemed the whole of New York was at a standstill.“Sir, can you tell me how long it will take?” I asked the driver.The man shook his head. “I don’t know, madame. It seems it will take a long time,” he replied in a thick French accent.Fuck! Why is it always me facing such tragedies? I needed to reach the birthday celebration before 6 p.m., and it was 5:50.Oh lord! I had no choice. After paying the cab’s fare, I took a deep breath, quickly exited the taxi, and rushed down the street. I loved my husband so much and would do anything for him, including rush like mad, so I wouldn’t be late for his grandmother’s seventieth birthday.My husband and I had been living together for three years, and I had been suppressing my personality just to be with him. But I took a pregnancy test the week before and was expecting a baby! I couldn’t wait to tell him the go

I’dhad enough. I pulled my arm from Gina’s grip and ran out of the hotel to headback to the mansion. And for once, I didn’t look back. ThoughI had been married to Alessandro for three years, I’d never felt like a part ofthe Devonte family. Meanwhile, I had left my family and even changed my surnameto be a simple girl for Alessandro. In turn, he never cared nor stood up for mewhen his family members disrespected and insulted me, when they referred to me asa nobody and called me names. Throughit all, I never revealed my real identity because I didn’t want to gain Alessandro’slove just because my last name was Edwards, just because I was heiress to theE. Shine Jewelers fortune, one of the most famous designed brands in the world.No, I wanted him to love me for me. SoI never complained. Instead, I let my tears fall silently, always hopingAlessandro would one day change and accept me as his wife. Yet he neverappreciated me.Itried to be everything to him, too. But it seem

Victoria’sPOVWiththe beeping sounds of sensors in my ears, my eyes opened. I looked around, feelingdisoriented. Then I saw my brother, Antonio, sitting on the couch next to me. “A–Antonio...”Herushed to me. “Victoria, are you all right? Let me call for the doctor.”Ashort while later, Antonio let out a breath of relief as the doctor announced mypregnancy and said I wasn’t in danger.“Areyou going to continue to suffer with that family?” he asked, shaking his head.“Why don’t you come home with me this time? I’ve missed you, sister.”TearsI’d held for three years flowed as I nodded with sorrow and guilt. “I’m sorry Iwas too willful before. B–but how did you find me?”“Someonesent me a message and told me you were in trouble in Devonte’s place,” Antonioanswered. “I knew how Alessandro’s family treated you. I rushed to the mansion.I should have never let you stay with them. But now, I can take revenge for youand help you raise your child.”Ishook my head. “Please don’t le

So the hournor the alarm would typically bother me. But I’d spent the night tossing andturning, thinking about Victoria. I’d only slept an hour, two tops. Why I can’t stop thinkingabout her? I shook my head in frustration. Rubbing my face, I steppedout of bed and went to my closet to get my things for the office. There I wasconfronted with another reminder as Victoria’s colorful clothes hung as ifmocking me. Though she was an introvert, she had an unpredictable personalityand loved vibrant clothes and makeup. Still, she always presented herself asladylike.Ishook my head again, frustrated that I still couldn’t get her out of my mind. Witha sigh, I focused on my side of the closet.

When I opened my eyes, it didn’t surprise meto see I was in a hospital bed with an IV attached to the back of my hand.“Youare awake?” a woman in a doctor’s coat asked with a smile. “How are youfeeling, Mrs. Devonte?” “I...”My throat dried, remembering the terrible ache in my abdomen when Alessandrostopped me. What if something happened to my baby? “H–how is my baby?” I neededto know.Thedoctor smiled, touching my arm and spreading a sense of comfort. “Your baby isfine. But you need to rest. No anxiety. It could affect you or the baby’shealth.”Theheavy stone that had taken residence in my heart disappeared at her words. Mybaby was fine. Relief washed over me. However, my relief dissipated when Irealized she had called me Mrs. Devonte. “Whobrought me here, Doctor?” I asked, fearing it may have been Alessandro.“Yourhusband.

It wasn’t the worst steak I’d ever eaten, but Iwasn’t feeling any satisfaction.Alreadyin a foul mood, the inadequate food made it worse. When I tasted the mashedpotatoes, I became enraged enough to throw my plate on the floor.Myhead housekeeper, Sofia, rushed to me in horror with two maids trailing her. She’dbeen our housekeeper since childhood, so she knew everything that went on inthe mansion. “Young master, what happened?” she asked with wide eyes.“Whathappened?” I yelled. “The food is what happened. Is there a new chef? Didn’tyou check his credentials?” Sofiapeered at the mess on the floor and ordered the maids to clean it, then lookedup at me and shook her head. “Young master, there’s been no change.

How I wished things were different.I wanted to be with Alessandro, especially through the pregnancy. But Icouldn’t.Ihad given him three years. Most people even grew to care for animals theydidn’t like if they lived with them that long. But I had been his wife, and hehad never grown to care for me.

I held back a growl of frustration, wishing it was just beside me instead.It felt as though things were so out of control. But I would find a way to make it right soon. I just had to get through that night, and everything would be fine. With long strides, I headed for the entrance.“Why are you in a rush, Al?” Camilla asked, sounding all too innocent, making me wonder how I hadn’t seen through her before. “Just follow me silently if you don’t want to go back home,” I said, coldly, keeping my eyes on the entrance. I didn’t hear any words from her, just a faded disappointed grunt.After checking in, we went inside to our table in the VIP section. As I turned to take my seat, I stopped short.

Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 26
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
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 25
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
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 24
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
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 23
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
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 22
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
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 21
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
