Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 99 You will understand soon
VICTORIA’S POV
“What do you think?” I asked as I watched him in excitement.
However, my design no longer captured the attention of those blue eyes, which were now solely fixated on me. The intensity of
his stare grew darker.
At that moment, I was certain about his thoughts. All my excitement about the design flew out of the window, and my body
responded to his deep and lusty gaze.
I freaking want him! Oh God! The last couple of days were so much frustrating for me! Sometimes I even fell asleep at my desk
and woke up in bed the next morning.
Right now, all the tiredness is gone, and new excitement and anticipation build up inside me. I want this man so bad! He pulled
my chair toward him and leaned forward to kiss me.
Our lips met, and a current rushed through my bones. All my cells became alive, and my body warmed up to his domineering
touch.
I drew him closer to me, intensifying the kiss. Just as it seemed like it would become more passionate, he abruptly ended the
kiss and planted a gentle kiss on the tip of my nose and another on my temple.
I blinked at him, thinking he would go further now, but in vain. He did not!
Aless started pulling himself backward, but I stopped him, holding his hand. Our eyes connected, his captivating blue stare
locking onto mine, retaining their intensity. I only watched him with a silent question, and he knew what I wanted to say.
Aless sighed before pulling me onto his lap and kissing my neck.
“Don’t let negativity cross your mind, sweetheart. I can’t do this now,” he said as he gently placed his hand on my growing belly.
Aless leaned in, lowered his head, and kissed my stomach lovingly.
“You are over six months pregnant now. I don’t want to hurt you or our baby at any cost. It’s better to stay away a little bit.”
Immediately my mood sank. “But I did not cross my seventh month, right?” I pouted slightly.
“No baby, it’s not about sixth or seventh. I just can’t take the risk.” He buried his head in my neck and inhaled my scent deeply
“I do want you so bad that it hurts a lot. Still, I can’t do this. I don’t want to take a risk when it comes to your health. We also have
to think about the baby, right?”
His voice is soft as he tries to coax me. It felt like he was talking to a child demanding impossible things.
Even though I knew what he said was true, I still felt sad and grumpy. Well, blame my pregnant mind, which is stubborn.
Seeing me, Alessandro chuckled and kissed me on the cheeks. He nuzzled there and caressed my belly.
“Don’t be sad, baby. I promise to make it count after the baby comes out. What do you think?”
His low and deep voice rushed some heat to my cheeks as I pouted slightly, glaring at him and making him laugh more.
“Even though I can’t give you the exact thing you wanted, I have something else for you.” He said, arching his brow a little at me.
“And what is that?” I asked, excited once again.
He only smirked, filled with mystery. “You will know that soon.” He kissed my lips and grinned before setting me on my chair
again and standing straight.
“Be prepared. I have a surprise for you.” He said and left me there with a wink.
He didn’t even let me ask about the surprise! What is he planning?
Seated on the chair, I observed my creation – a design of significant personal value. Named ‘Colossal Eye’ or ‘Vast Eye,’ this
jewelry piece aims to evoke a sense of joyousness for the wearer by creating an illusion of a blissful gaze surrounding them. It’s
one of my favorite designs till now, but not special as the wedding ring I am designing.
While lost in my thoughts, my cell phone abruptly began to ring, capturing my attention. I directed my gaze toward the device,
only to discover an unknown number on the screen.
I received the call.
“Hello, who is it?”
“Hey, beautiful.” A deep voice rang into my ear, catching me off guard.
I stared at the phone briefly before pressing it to the ear again. I initially did not realize it, but now I have recalled the number.
“Dominic...”
A chuckle came from the opposite side. “Yes, it’s me. Thanks for recognizing my voice,” he said.
A strange feeling of awkwardness and uncomfortableness rushed me. I shifted in my seat and reluctantly smiled as though he
was watching me.
“Ye... yeah, I did... Umm, what is it? Why do you call?” I asked, not forgetting that night when he asked me to return to him.
“Yeah, I am.”
“Isn’t it under Perficient Global? How did you manage to get in?” I heard the curiosity in his tone.
It should not create any problem to tell him the truth, right? So, I said, “Well, it was managed by Aless. I don’t know how exactly
he did that, but he does that for me only.” My words were deliberate, subtly conveying the existence of a special bond between
Alessandro and me.
“Oh...” He did not say more about it and then changed the topic.
“Well, I called to ask if you are free this evening. I have some plans for you,” he said.
I don’t understand why he is saying these things so freely when I have opened my mind before him. I was precise when I said no
to him and accepted my love for Aless. Which part of it doesn’t he understand?
Nevertheless, I didn’t want to be rude to him as he is Alessandro’s brother and my future brother-in-law. Hence, I chose to say
nothing but the truth.
“Well, I am sorry, Dominic. I can’t. I have plans with Aless today, so...”.
“Hey, it’s alright. It’s just that I was missing you and thought of something. No worries,” he replied casually.
“Thanks for your understanding, Dominic. But I still need to remind you one thing, I guess. I am in love with Alessandro, and
soon we will have a baby. I moved on from the past, Dominic. Life has changed, and I think everything has a reason. You should
move on too and find a beautiful lady who will love you. For us, we were done years ago. Even today, if I didn’t have any plans
with Aless, I wouldn’t have agreed to your proposal because I cannot disrespect my husband in any way. I hope you
understand?”
He was silent for some time before I heard his voice again, “Thanks, Victoria. I do understand now.” I heard his light chuckle, and
he continued, “Hopefully, soon, you will understand many things too. Take care. Bye, Tori.” And he cut the call.
Wait, what?
I stared at the phone in a daze for some time. What’s wrong with him?! What will I understand?!
I remained seated for a while, consumed by a sense of doubt. Ever since his return, there had been peculiar changes in him. It
felt as though the Dominic I once knew had vanished, and a different individual had taken his place.
Why? Why do I feel like this?
Is something really wrong? Or am I just making things up? I don’t know.
Sighing, I shook my head, dropping his words for the time being, and turned off the computer before leaving the office.
I am very excited to see Alessandro’s surprise plan for me!
