Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro)

Chapter 85 What are you doing here?

VICTORIA’S POV

‘The relationship we shared before?’

The words rolled out of his lips, making me stiff all of a sudden. I had forgotten about this topic for a few

minutes while he was acting normal and friendly. But when he brought it up, I was jolted back into

reality.

Pursing my lips, I looked down my lap before looking up at him with a little smile plastered on my face.

I nodded at him. “Yeah, he does know. Not from before, though.”

I leaned against the sofa, playing with my fingers. “My relationship with Alessandro starts with no

future, but things suddenly changed, and we became closer. In all these, I never really got to share this

topic. But, as I was thinking about bringing this topic up, you appeared.”

I spoke truthfully without feeling the need to hide anything. There was no reason to anymore, given

Alessandro and I already overcame many misunderstandings. I wanted to move forward without any

more secrets or lies.

Dominic nodded his head.

“Did he react differently, or...?”

I understand what he meant, or at least I assume he might feel bad. I am not sure, and perhaps he is

concerned about his brother.

However, I didn’t lie this time either. “Well, he did not react like a child, that’s for sure. We talked, and

everything is solved now.”

I lied at the part of ‘talk.’ Of course, we did not talk at all!

Suddenly, we both fell into silence until Dominic decided to break it.

“So... How many months is your baby?” His eyes traveled down to my baby bump.

I looked down with a smile and caressed the bump carefully, “6 months going on.”

“Though I know it’s him, again, “Andro is the father, right?” He asked again, and I stiffened at his

question for a second.

Well, not at his question but the tone in which it was delivered. It seemed a little different, and I don’t

know why.

I looked up at Dominic, only to find him smiling, looking at me. I blinked once, falling into a daze.

I am sure I caught the difference in his tone, but looking at him now, I felt wrong. Well, it could be

because of my pregnancy. I have become more sensitive to my surroundings.

I need to stop suspecting everything and everyone around me. Otherwise, I may be diagnosed with a

paranoid personality disorder.

Dominic frowned, maybe seeing my silence. “What happened? Did I ask anything wrong?”

I immediately shook my head. “Oh, no. Of course, not! It’s just a pregnancy thing that my mood kept

swinging. Ha-ha.” I tried to wash the awkward situation away and then nodded. “Yes, Aless is the

father.”

Dominic laughed suddenly as his gaze fixated on me. “I didn’t expect you to be with Andro, you know.

When I saw you with him, I was utterly shocked.”

I did not laugh like him, but I smiled too. And all thanks to you, Dominic, that I met Aless in this life.

However, I chose not to express my thoughts and instead kept them to myself because I didn’t want to

hurt him.

I pursed my lips. Since I saw him last night at the banquet, a question has been on my mind.

“Dominic...”

“Hmm?”

“Umm... I have heard that the fire from five years ago burned everything so badly that there seem to be

no survivors. Then how did you...”

As I recalled the scenes before, my throat began to heave uncontrollably, preventing me from uttering

the last word.

Even now, I feel that I owe him a debt of gratitude for how he saved me from the fire by sacrificing his

own life. For years, I was in mourning, thinking I was the reason for his death, which was also part of

why I could not tell Aless about us.

I still didn’t tell him that. But, slowly, I will now.

But thinking of that horrible night, I still get teared up with strange emotions.

Dominic smiled, looking down at his hand. “I was lucky a couple of farmers saved me that night.”

I am so glad that those farmers did, and he survived because...

I once again felt so guilty just by the thought.

“Then why did you ...” I wanted to ask him why he didn’t come to find me and let me know he was alive.

Not because I wanted to be with him romantically, although that might have been a possibility. But

because it would have saved me years of guilt and grief thinking he was dead.

If he had let me know he was alive, I wouldn’t have blamed myself, and his family wouldn’t have had to

go through the pain of losing their loved one.

I felt ticklish on my cheeks as I felt both sides wet. I know I am crying, and I can’t stop it.

Dominic looked down at his hands again, playing with his fingers, “That year, I suffered burns all over

my body and was able to receive treatment abroad thanks to the assistance of a wealthy billionaire. I

really can’t forget the kindness he showed toward me.”

He sounded a little sad, which had me welling up in tears more.

He continued, “My situation was so critical, and doctors weren’t sure about my condition for days. I

didn’t know if I would survive. So, I didn’t dare to contact my family or you.”

When I heard this, my heart clenched for him. Only God knows how bad and helpless he felt at that

time. I wish he had let me know so I could have been there for him as a friend, not even as a girlfriend.

My emotions felt more on edge, and I sobbed harder this time.

Dominic raised his eyes at me and then gasped. “Oh, no! shit!”

He came beside me. “Victoria, don’t cry, please...”

I sobbed. “I...” I could not say anything because of my tears. I felt so emotional when I heard him

cursing under his breath again.

Dominic immediately rushed to my desk and got tissues for me.

He came beside me, squatting down beside my knees. “Hey, Tori, shush... Don’t cry, please... I was

just...”

However, he suddenly paused, and a few seconds later, I heard him...

“Andro!?” He gasped.

My first reaction was, who is Andro? and in the next second, I realized whom he called Andro and

immediately turned my head in the direction Dominic was staring.

And I froze immediately in the place. Just two nights ago, he was jealous as fuck, and now this. I NôvelDrama.Org © content.

swallowed a mouthful of saliva when I saw his eyes move down at us.

I followed his gaze and saw Dominic sitting close to me in a somewhat intimate position. I was so

emotional that I didn’t even realize how close he had gotten.

I backed away slightly from Dominic, causing him to turn and look at me. I’m not sure if he noticed, but I

stood up and stepped back.

I turned to Alessandro once again as his eyes were fixated on me. I could feel the dark shadow

consuming him.

He had just returned from Paris and saw this. Although nothing improper was happening, he didn’t

deserve to walk in on that scene.

I felt more emotional and rushed to him immediately, without caring about anything or anyone.

Right now, I need Aless, and I just want to hide in his huge figure. I want to bury my face in his chest,

even if he pushes me away afterward.

“Alessandro...” I breathed his name before hiding in his arms. Well, I throw myself in his arms.

It did not take him a second to hug me right back, catching me tightly in his strong arms. “Hey, baby.”

I felt his breath and relieved sigh as he hugged me. Thank God he did because I don’t know what I

would have done if he had thrown tantrums.

He hides his face in my neck, inhaling my scents before sucking the skin of my bare neck.

We were so drowned in each other that we did not even care about Dominic’s presence, and he was

watching us.

We only broke apart, hearing Dominic clearing his throat.

“Ahem... Well, okay... Hello, love birds?”

We broke apart as he gained our attention. I turned to face Dominic as Alessandro was already

watching his brother.

His expression was blank. I couldn’t believe he was still jealous of his brother! But as he wrapped his

arms around me and pulled me closer, I realized he was. I couldn’t tell where he was taking me, as

there was no space left between us from before.

I watched him from the corner of my eyes. This man is always like this! Even in our most intimate

moments, he would always draw me closer, even if there was no space left!

My thoughts suddenly broke when I heard...

“Dominic? What are you doing here?” Alessandro asked.

I could sense the jealousy in his tone, or at least that’s what it seemed like to me. Most of the time, I

really do love his possessiveness, but sometimes, it crosses the limit, and this is one of the times!

Dominic chuckled, gladly taking Alessandro’s seriousness lightly. He raised his hands in a surrender

position, “I am here only to catch up with Victoria. I hope you won’t mind?”

I prayed to God that he does not speak idiotic things toward his brother, who had just returned. I swear,

I would lose face if he did that because I proudly told Dominic that he had not behaved childishly

before!

And gladly, he did as his next reply fell.

“Why not?” He smiled. “After all, you are old friends from college.”

Thankfully, he did not spill out anything but ‘friends.’ If he did, I swear, I would have kicked him out of

bed for a week!

Dominic flashed a smile and then turned to Alessandro, grinning broadly.

“I thought, you are still in Paris? In a meeting?” I raised my brow as he chuckled lightly and leaned

down, brushing his lips on mine, making me hungrier for him even more.

Even though I know I should stop being horny and thinking about sex whenever he is around, I just

can’t. Well, as per the doctor, we can go for another month. Then why not grab the chance?

I sighed in disappointment when he moved his lips away and chuckled again, touching my nose

adorably, “Who said I missed the meeting? Here I am in my meeting with my wife and the baby. Aren’t

they the most important ones?”

He raised his brow, challenging me to retort, which I didn’t but warmed up a little. I felt heat rising to my

cheeks. Surely, I had turned red by now.

“Well, that’s not the only thing, though,” Alessandro spoke again, gaining my interest as I looked up at

him.

“What other thing?” I curiously asked as he leaned forward and brushed his nose on my cheeks again

before whispering, “I have a surprise for you...”

Okay, now that’s interesting...
