Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! novel Chapter 55

VICTORIA’S POV

“VICTORIA!” I heard Maria’s shout of fear.

Everything suddenly came to a standstill, both in my surroundings and thoughts. As I watched myself losing balance and falling to the ground, only one thought was consuming my mind - what would come next?

My baby... Am I going to lose it again? At that point, in just milliseconds, it felt like everything turned slow, and it was only me with my misery.

My well-being holds no importance to me, but the only thing that matters to me is the well-being of the child growing inside me.

I attempted to grasp anything within reach, desperate for support, but to no avail. I am falling, unaware of the impending danger.

I closed my eyes, and a huge lump formed inside me as I followed my destiny, but suddenly...

Something hard snaked around my waist, and before I could react, I was forcefully yanked backwards until my back hit a hard wall.

I was shocked, still in that trauma from a few years, when the man before me flew away somewhere.

Directing my gaze towards my stomach, where I was being held, I noticed a massive and familiar arm. This touch...

I closed my eyes, wanting to think something else, ignoring the thought rushing through my head. When I opened them, I saw Sage trying to catch the kidnappers, but that huge arm still held me.

I saw Maria’s face. She was crying and asking me if I was okay or needed anything, but my thoughts were stuck only on the arm, holding me by the waist.

He is standing behind me, balancing my weight as I felt weak on my knees, trembling badly.

I felt the arm tighten around me, and the other joined, pulling me closer. There is no way in this world I could forget this touch—this presence.

It’s him... Alessandro...

As if to prove my thought, he spoke, “Victoria?”

That one mention of my name was enough to prove his concern. I couldn’t calculate it anymore. His presence, his concern, is that all for me?

The thought made the world spin around my head.

Gradually, my senses began to shut down, one by one. The only noise reverberating in my mind was a loud, persistent ringing that pushed me further and further away. My sight became obscured, and ultimately, I was drawn into abyssal darkness.

ALESSANDRO’S POV

My whole world stopped. It seemed everything just disappeared like it was only her and me. Victoria appeared sweet and beautiful, wearing a loose dress with a snug cardigan and matching sneakers.

I blinked... Something has changed in her. She is still my Victoria, but a pointed change happened that I couldn’t get a hold of.

She still didn’t see me but stood with the woman back-facing me, and I watched the man take all the bags and walk toward the parking lot. The desire to be with her was overwhelming, but it felt like my legs turned so heavy and glued to the ground!

As I was fighting with my inner guilts and nervousness, I suddenly saw a black sedan car pull before them, and two men came out.

Suddenly, my heart clenched tight as my senses urged me to rush to her Sensing that something was amiss, I acted on my intuition. My legs came back to life as I ran toward her.

The scene before me was dangerous as I saw one man pushing the middle-aged woman back and the other trying to pull Victoria with him.

She struggled and was about to fall. Anger rushed through me, and I caught her with one arm pulling close to me as I kicked the man away from her. The other man tried to attack me from behind, and I punched him in the face, still holding her. Immediately, the hulk-like man that left a few ago with bags came running and went behind those men as the woman rushed to us.

I looked down at the woman in my arms. Her body was stiff, as if she froze in the situation. She was trembling as I held her tight in my arms.

“Victoria?” I called for her, and then suddenly, she lost her balance and weight, causing her to lose consciousness while leaning on me.

Oh shit!
