Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 28 Emergency!
VICTORIA’S POV
“Alessandro!”
I was shocked and stood at one side with my hands covering my mouth while my ex-husband was beating Reynolds without any calculation!
For a moment, I could not process the situation that just happened all of a sudden. But, a few seconds later, I got my voice and moved back as I proceeded to stop Alessandro.
He seemed so out of control that nothing crossed his mind about what could happen later.
“Alessandro, stop!” I shouted lowly. But he was not in the zone to listen to how he beat him; it was like letting all his frustration out on this poor man.
Poor? No, my bad. On this pervert!
I touched Alessandro’s shoulder as he was on one knee, hovering on top of almost the half-dead Reynolds.
“Alessandro, please stop!” And that’s when he finally regained control and stopped, turning over his shoulder directly into my eyes.
The deep ocean-like eyes were now dark like a storm describing his anger and pain…
Frankly, I didn’t see this look for a long time, though. The first time was three years ago when he got the news that I was not pregnant and lied, which was a lie in itself.
I never lied to him, but my destiny played a big time in me.
I shook my head, causing him to stand up, and suddenly that darkness in them was gone, but the worry waved there.
He carefully watched me from head to toe before asking, “Are you alright?”
I gulped before nodding my head. I was taken aback by the anxiety that arose within me, which was a new experience. This had never occurred before, not even during the three years when I was married to him.
The question was on my tongue, but I pushed it away, concentrating on the man on the floor who was now standing up with his assistant’s support.
Reynolds clenched his teeth, glaring at me, but did not dare to step forward, fearing Alessandro.
“I will never help you with the jewelry show, you bitch!” He screamed with the little bit of energy he had in him with his broken tone.
“Get lost! You dare to show up before her, and I will kill you this time.” Alessandro barked, covering me with his body and flinching him and his assistant back on their feet.
Reynolds finally left with his assistant. Even if Alessandro didn’t come and beat him up, I would have never agreed to work with that bastard after what he did here today.
With Reynolds leaving, everything suddenly cooled down. My eyes were wracked on the floor of my office. Once a decorated place had turned into a mess, my gaze turned to see my ex-husband and his assistant.
Now, when everything is settled, I realize something and frown.
“Why are you here in the first place?”
“To save you!” He muttered as if he had that heroic duty to do.
“Alessandro…” I tried to retort when he suddenly said, “just ignore that bloody bastard; I will help you with the jewelry show.”
“Huh?” I was stunned hearing his words. What did he just say? He will help me?! I blinked; it took me some time to process everything that had happened.
My ex-husband, who just showed up in my company out of nowhere, beat a man who was trying to harass me; now he is saying he will also help me with the jewelry show I am directing for the first time.
Is heaven really giving me a sweet chance with the cruel reality?
“And why would you do that, Alessandro?” I asked, folding my hands over my chest.
His eyes were on mine, then slowly dropped down on my chest, which was a little pushed up because of my hands.
The intense manner in which he was observing me caused a shiver to run through me, and suddenly my breathing became tense.
What the fuck is he doing, and what the hell is happening to me?
This is embarrassing; I cleared my throat and dropped my hands beside me as his eyes found their way back to my gaze.
Maybe, he realized the awkwardness, too, and looked around before asking, “Where is Antonio?”
“None of your business,” I immediately shut him down, and he glared at me, stepping closer to me.
“Yes, it is my business! Had he been present, I wouldn’t have come to rescue you here,” He growled. He scrunched his nose a little bit with disgust, “your boyfriend is too unreliable. How could he let you face Reynolds alone with that scum reputation of him?”
What?! Was it because he saved me? Who asked him for that!? And what did he just say? Boyfriend? Antonio? Is he mad or what? This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Look, Alessandro. Don’t…” I was about to explain that he was wrong in his thoughts. Antonio is not my boyfriend but my elder brother from the same parents!
However, I stopped in the middle with another thought inside me.
Why?
Why would I explain my relationship with Antonio to him? Who is he? Only my ex-husband, right? He and I have no relationship, and there will be nothing in the future.
Yes, maybe I can’t ignore the fact that he is my baby’s father, but that also he should not know. I can raise my child alone.
So, I just swallowed the words that were about to leave me. There is no necessity for that.
I inhaled a sharp breath. Okay, this man needs to go now.
I raised my hand to stop him. “Listen, Alessandro; you should… Aagh!” I gasped painfully with a sudden twist in my stomach as I clutched my belly, and the world started spinning around.
Suddenly, I started feeling nauseous, and the doctor’s words from before rang in my mind.
‘You once had a miscarriage. It would be best if you were very careful this time. Don’t stress and excite yourself too much. It’s harmful to the baby.’
No, I need to calm down. I can’t lose this baby. Not anymore! I…
Suddenly, I felt a huge arm snacking my waist, standing me properly. I looked up to find Alessandro’s worried face staring at me.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Let me take you to the doctor,” he said with urgency and impatience.
No! I… I can’t go with him. He shouldn’t know about the baby! I jerked his hands from me, stepping back from him and turning around, not letting him see whatever expression showed on my face.
“You don’t need to. I am fine. Just go away, Alessandro. Please, leave me alone.”
I said as cold as I could sound.
He was silent for a second as if the world gets stopped, and then I heard his blank tone.
“Fine.”
Even though I had made myself believe that there would be no future with him for me, it still hurts.
Why? What did I expect him to say? I don’t know. It just hurts as if a cold hand clenched my heart, Suffocating me from breathing.
Even though everything is silent, as if he is gone, I know he didn’t. I can feel his gaze on me. It still affects me. Sadly, his gaze still tickles in a good way, but it hurts from the inside when I know that only I feel this way—his heart throbs for someone else.
I can’t stand before him anymore; I need to kick him out of here before I break down before him.
Inhaling a sharp breath, I turned to him, avoiding his eyes that were glued on me with a strange expression new to me.
“You should lea…” My words died into my throat when Daniel sprinted inside my office, huffing.
“Emergency! There is a disturbance downstairs!”
