VICTORIA'S POV...

As we were watching the people praising my work, we heard a throat clearing,

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the modern jewellery exhibition of Adornet Art Gallery..." The host gained our attention.

The host continued with a grin on his face.

"This exhibition is held by the famous Perficient Global and designers from various backgrounds and cities, participated in the exhibition."

"As you can see, the designs have been placed along with the drafts. And I must say, the designs and the designers are incredibly talented."

"It's not it only. Some designs are already getting praise from our viewers and customers. Today, this jewellery will also be presented before the audience through our selected top-class models."

I gasped a little silently. I didn't know about this ramp show though. Alessandro was surprised a little too. But, he seemed excited.

I looked up at him and he smiled. "Your design will be more praised when a model will wear it!"

I smiled and nodded

    VICTORIA'S POV... I watched the woman beside me. She is wearing that flower pendant, standing beside me. My eyes roamed to the whole stage and as I guessed, Carol is standing beside that designer from Smith Industries. Things started coming into a line before me now. I turned my gaze to the audience and met my husband's gaze. Even from afar, I could feel his confusion. He is staring at me and the model beside me. Sage, who never had much expression on his face, was also surprised by the sudden situation. I smiled at him, remaining calm. Then my eyes searched for the two faces, I want. And there they are. Both Camilla and Jordan watching me with evil smirks plastered on their faces. From this distance even I could feel the disgust in their eyes and the victorious gleam. And guess what, I only smiled. You must be thinking, why am I not anxious and hyper? Well, I might be tense before participating in the exhibition. After all, my first time official competition as a jewellery des

    VICTORIA'S POV... "What!?" "What is wrong with this woman!?" "Has she gone crazy!?" "She is the one who designed it and now faking it! Who allowed her in!" Lots of murmurs started around. "Miss Edwards, please come to the point. What are you trying to say?" The host asked. I only smiled. "I have said it already. This is not my design. My design has been replaced with this." The look on the host's face seemed like he was about to roll his eyes at me but stopped himself at the right moment, holding his professionalism. "Miss Edwards, there is no way, it can happen." He denied it straight away. I chuckled. "Well, it happened, sir." "Then where is your design?" He asked in a slightly mocking tone. Still holding his composer. I turned my head to my design and the two people standing there were tensed suddenly. I walked toward them and stood in front of Carla with a smile. "So, Miss Carla Davies, please allow me." Saying, I hold her hand and pulled her along with me. "Wh... wh

    VICTORIA'S POV... I looked up at my fiancee. He smiled at me, his eyes filled with adoration and pride. He leaned forward a little and kissed my head. His head turned to the people, standing before us and his mood changed immediately from soft to cold. "I want justice for my wife. If you can't, then I will take my way to do it." His cold tone rolled out of his mouth and if I wasn't on his good side, I would have been shivered by the sight and threat of him. The CEO of Adornet tried to stay forward. "Sir, we understand what you are saying..." Aless raised his hand toward them. "The designer belongs to Smith Industries, and this matter is unknown to them, I don't believe it." His vrow raised dangerously. Well, Aless is a cunning man and he is definitely aware of the dirty politics these people could play. "Mr Devonte is right. The culprit should be punished. This is a huge scam!" One audience shouted from the side. "Yes, Miss Edwards should get her justice! What sort of competit

  • Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE!    I gave you to Edwards!

    VICTORIA'S POV... All the heads turned in the direction of the voice, as I watched a guy around Alessandro's age walking inside in a black suit. His hair neatly combed and with a glass on his nose he walked inside, followed by two men and a woman in formal attires. All of them looked so neat and noble with so much power on. Some people gasped from the audience as I heard, "Oh, assistant Cameron!" Assistant Cameron? Who is he? I felt Aless lean a little toward me and whispered in my ear. "This is the special assistant of President Rossi. Assistant Cameron. He is known as President Rossis' right-hand man. No one has seen President Rossi before as Rossis are always low-key people. Only his assistant appears in public places but that too Cameras would turn off when he would walk in." Aless explained as I turned to look around. And my husband is right! All the Cameras just turned off! My eyes landed on the people that entered. Especially, on that guy. He is an assistant, but his p

    VICTORIA'S POV... 'You are the adopted daughter of Edwards!' That one line of Smith kept roaming in my head, making my head spin and nauseous from the inside. Things started fading away from my sight as I was thrown to such a level of darkness of truth and lies. I stared at the man who is being like a mad bull, trying to release him from the grip of guards and shouting. But, nothing else is getting in my head. I saw Alessandro jump forward to Smith and he pinched his face before Sage pulled him away. I heard murmurs of the people and everything felt like ringing in my head as I was going far away from them. All tones turned heavier around me as I felt the land under me is moving and I was about to fall. I don't know what just happened and suddenly, I saw Alessandro's face zooming before my eye as a frown plastered on the forehead. 'Adopted... I... I am Adopted?' That one word is now roaming all around my head, that was forcing its way up to my eyes, pulling me to the darkness an

    VICTORIA'S POV... I blinked my eyes heavily as the sudden bright light was like a noddle poking on the eyelids. "Slowly, open your eyes. It's alright. Everything is fine." I heard Alessandro's soothing tone, which worked a lot to calm the restlessness inside me. With a couple more blinks, I finally was able to open my eyes. Before my eyes, I saw the five most familiar faces. Mama, Papa, Ant, Aless and my doctor. I stared at them. My mind turned blank all of a sudden. I just couldn't process anything and everything felt so out of place. My hand subconsciously went to my belly and clutched onto my bump. Thank God, My baby is fine! I tried to sit up and Mama and Aless helped me sit up. My eyes roamed around the whole room blankly and then fell on my parents' worried faces. I blinked a few times and slowly, everything started clear in my mind. Those images from the gallery and the war in my mind I just had, everything... My lips parted but, I couldn't form a word, just felt tickl

    VICTORIA'S POV... My eyes fell onto my parents, sitting before me, looking in pain and somewhat devastated. Mama has called down now and they are inside the hospital room. This time, it's only us and no outsiders. At this point, I want to run to their arms and ask them to forget my words, but, I couldn't. I don't know how to do it. So, I could only seat with my devastated mind. "Guys, what are you doing!?" Antonio could not hold his frustration anymore and spoke out. "Will we be like this just because of what one Smith had said?! All of you behaving so childishly!" I watched Mama and Papa. Mama is leaning on Papa's shoulder and both seemed to be in immense pain. My lips parted, I want to say something when I heard, "We never thought, after two decades, this topic will be brought up like this," Papa spoke. All our focus turned to him, as Mama immediately raised her head and watched Papa. He turned to his wife and caressed her head lovingly. "Don't be like this, it's time to te

  • Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE!    Should I ask?

    VICTORIA'S POV... 'You will always remain our daughter.' I heard the desperation and helplessness in her tone. The truth is a shock to me but if I closed that part of my life, then I couldn't find any point where I can blame them for not being good to me. In every step of my life, my parents have always supported me. Even after I left home, they might be angry, but never pointed their fingers at me. And in my hardest time, they stood beside me like the strongest pillar and protected me. Only because of that one freak, I could not hurt them after twenty-four years of life, right? Slith might bring me to my family, but that was my destiny. The death of their real daughter and my appearance in their life. Yeah, they might not be the parents who gave birth to me, but they are the parents who brought me up and be the dream parents a child could wish for. How could I let them get hurt just because of that one truth? An hour ago, I thought who am I? But, Now I know, I am Victoria Edwa

    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
