Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 26 It hurts so bad

ALESSANDRO’S POV

Being absent one day from work is a hectic term for the director of the company. And I have missed a few days,

which is enough to weary me. People think directors usually don’t do any work, and I really wish they were right.

At this time, I only wish Victoria to be here. Her absence always keeps me deeply agitated and upset nowadays.

Everyone started fearing for me and avoiding me more than before.

I need to have her back in my life soon enough—no way for me there without her.

But how? I am unable to find any improved solutions to regain her affection.

A helpless sigh escaped from the deep of my soul as I leaned on the car seat, going back home. Well, I can’t say

home now. Just a place I am staying in. Without Victoria, the place felt so annoyingly vacant.

“Boss?” I heard David’s voice from the driving seat. He was glancing at me through the mirror from time to time.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Umm, it’s been three days since you have been out of the hospital, and well, your grandmother has asked you to

meet Miss White.” He skillfully slid the black car, trying to play with us, and again looked at me. “Won’t you meet

her? She has been calling you repeatedly for the past three days.”

The tension on his furrowed brows clearly spoke of his annoyance. Undoubtedly, Camilla is causing frustration or

annoyance; otherwise, he wouldn’t have mentioned her name before me when my thoughts were solely focused on

Victoria.

I can’t blame him. That woman is poisonous. I am grateful he was patient to keep her away for three days.

I guess I need to give him a raise this time.

“I will take care of her matter,” I replied. “Turn the car to the old mansion; I am meeting grandma,” I said, and with

a nod, he turned the car to my childhood home.

If I need to close the Camilla chapter, I need to stop grandma from meeting her often. She is manipulating

grandma excessively.

As the car pulled before the old mansion, I left David and went inside. But, my mood was ruined more when my

glance fell at the woman beside my grandma.

It’s Camilla White. Why can’t she just leave me alone for some time? And why the fuck did I not realize she would

always end up with grandma when she needed something, especially me.

As always, I met her crying her heart out to grandma, complaining about how I refused her marriage proposal.

I cleared my throat and walked close to grandma. She was happy to see me.

Camilla also smiled and greeted me with complaining eyes, which I ignored completely.

“Oh my sweet, you looked so worn out, darling.” Grandma cupped my cheeks and watched me from head to toe.

“Why are you like this, huh? Why don’t you just take care of yourself better?”

“How will he, grandma? There is no one there to take care of him,” she started sugarcoating grandma again.

Smiling at her, grandma pinched her cheeks lovingly. “Oh, my dear, I am so glad you are here with us.” Camilla

smiled shyly, putting a few hairs behind her ears, pretending to act all cute and gentle.

“Oh, don’t embarrass me like this, grandma. You talk with him, and let me bring some snacks for you,” she said and

left.

I swear, if cringe could send me to death, I would have been dead now. How come this woman does all this?

Whenever I look at her now, everything feels so fake.

Victoria was patient enough to endure her for three years, my God!

After she was gone, grandma folded her hands over her chest, staring at me with disappointed looks. And I

certainly know what is coming next in my way.

“What am I hearing about you, Aless.” She shook her head and sighed before holding my hands.

“Aless, don’t be like this; I know how you suffered for three years with that filthy woman! Don’t lose hope, darling.

You can always find a new start after all the bad things, and you are so lucky to have that on your door, always

rooting for you. Camilla is the perfect girl for you, Aless. Take advantage of this second chance, and you will be

happy in your life…”

I only heard grandma, and the more I heard her, the more I got determined to avoid her.

Soon, her tone started echoing in my mind, forcing the images of those past years before my eyes.

Each word is ripping my heart in grief and sorrow that she used to scold my innocent Victoria in private and public

with this same mouth she is praising Camilla. I used to witness the scene without any remorse, feeling foolish and

ineffective. Those memories remain vivid in my mind. But I wonder how much pain the woman who endured that

experience must have felt.

I couldn’t believe I had done that to her. I deserve her hate and wrath at every point.

“Aless?” I once again started processing her words when she shook me a little. “Baby, are you listening to me? You

need to talk to Camilla, darling. Listen to your…”

“Enough,” I said firmly. In my heavy and husky tone, I stepped back from grandma’s hold.

Yeah, she might be the elder, and I love her, but she also needs to know that elders are not always right and no one

can manipulate my life anymore.

I am the director of the company and almost equal at making decisions in the family as grandma.

I can not let her accuse Victoria wrongly anymore. I don’t know whether Victoria will return to my life again, but I

will take every stand for her.

“Aless?!” My sudden action confused grandma as she tried to hold me again, but I raised my hand, stopping her.

“Please, don’t, grandma.” I used my professional cold tone to freeze her in place.

“I understand your concern, grandma. But I hope you also understand my point of view. I don’t want Camilla in my

life, and stop encouraging her to chase me.”

Grandma’s eyes widened and turned teary. It’s really sad, but I have had enough at this point.

“Aless, you are enchanted by that…”

“No, don’t say a word against her. No, grandma.” I shook my head at her in a warning. “Stop blaming Victoria for

everything that happened badly. You are experienced but blinded by the so-called fakeness of people. I hope that

curtain will fall one day, and you will know what is real and what is not.”

“And for the divorce of Victoria and me? I will sort it out by getting her back in my life. Even if she doesn’t, Camilla

will have no place in my life.”

With that, I turned around and left the place before I spoke something ruder to grandma and hurt her feelings

more.

I also wanted to leave before I met that woman and vent all my anger on her. I wouldn’t have any objections to

being stopped by anything except for the burden of debt she’s imposing on me. I promise you, if I can find one

conclusive evidence of what happened that night, it will be enough to bring an end to her.

Just as I was a few steps away from getting out, a pair of slender arms hugged me from behind. Immediately I

smacked her hands away and turned to Camilla, who watched me as if I had slapped her.

Well, I wish I could! I won’t lie about that.

“Didn’t I ask you to stay away from me? Or don’t you understand English? Should I let you know in Italian?”

The voice that rolled off me paused her movements, making her a little nervous. However, she kept it aside as she

knew well that I won’t cross the limit when she still had her ace card.

Pain coursed her face, and tears spoke of it. “Do you regret the divorce, Aless? I thought you were forced to marry

her, but now, you are forcing me to believe the other way.”

“Then believe it. There is no doubt that I want her only.” It hurt so bad when I was repeatedly reminded of my

mistake.

Perhaps with a bitter undertone, she attempted to smile. As someone belonging to the entertainment industry, it’s

not hard for her to face some acting to get sympathy, and she does it so well, I must say. But why no one is giving

her an award is the question.

“I understand your feelings of love, Aless,” she said, forcing me to arch my brow at her.

Does she? Really?!

However, she didn’t get the Sarcasm, as I am good at hiding emotions, so she continued. “But, you said you would

make it up to me that day in the hospital. Still, that part hurts when you said you wouldn’t marry me, though. Do

you remember?”

Finally, she is on the fucking line.

“What do you want?” I asked. Just tell me, and I will do that for you, and our ways are parted.

She fidgeted her fingers for a second, playing with my patience. But, thankfully spoke.

“There is a jewelry auction next month held by E Shine. A ten-carat pink diamond will be auctioned there. It’s one of

the prettiest and most expensive collections of centuries, and only one piece has ever been made. It’s called

‘Beloved.’ I really like that ring. Can you buy it for me?” She tilted her head, trying to give a cute seductive look.

Well, my Victoria never had to try for any look! She is naturally so gorgeous! Fuck! Every single time her thought

pinched my heart!

I heard Camilla’s request. She wanted an expensive ring. That may be a good deal to get rid of her, right? I guess I

could do at least this one last thing for her for the sake of that night three years ago.

I gave a curt nod at her. “Fine, I will see you at the auction.” And without wasting another single time, I walked out

of the old mansion.
