ALESSANDRO’S POVIt was a sunny day outside, with beaming sunlight dazzling the office area through the French window.A lively day with a lively expression, but somehow not for me, since without Victoria, nothing feels right anymore in my life. I have been working with E Shine on the auction project for the last two weeks. I personally invested my time there only to get a glance at her.And I got it. However, those two weeks were so dreadful that it almost felt like a trip to hell, causing great emotional distress to my soul.I used to walk into E Shine daily, observe the beautiful fairy from afar, and leave after being reprimanded, preparing for the next day. This routine continued, and I was never able to speak to her about anything unrelated to work. She would ignore me unless there was a work-related topic to discuss.To worsen the case, that son of bitch! Her assistant. Don’t know what is that fucker’s problem. He would always trail behind my Victoria as if she grew a new tail i

VICTORIA’S POVI already knew what Jayden was doing. His action made me smile as I stretched my right hand to him. Intentionally, I didn’t give a left hand.With a soft kiss on my knuckle, he put it on my right-hand ring finger. To my surprise, it fits perfectly, and I swear, it looks so beautiful. Even for a moment, I could wear such a precious thing, and I love every moment.Only wished it was from the man I love. Maybe, I would protect this piece of art with my life.“Victoria, don’t go too far!” Camilla stood up furiously. She is set for another drama, isn’t she?“You are too ridiculous! You want to snatch the proposal ring my boyfriend wants to give me?”Is she insane, or has the sudden shock disturbed her brain cells?I raised my brows at her. “Oh, am I, Miss White? And here I, and probably everyone, thought it’s because your boyfriend didn’t offer a higher price for it?”“Yeah.” One female voice agreed from the audience as others started nodding their head.Camilla suddenly turn

ALESSANDRO’S POV‘Are you afraid that your girlfriend will be bullied, Mr. Devonte?’ She asked, stopping me in the middle.What? Did I say that anywhere in my sentences? If not, then where on earth did she get that idea from?Fuck!Every time I try to make a peaceful conversation with this woman, she has to drag it in the other direction.What is the fucking problem?I didn’t like what happened at the auction. Especially when that son of a bit** put the ring on her finger, and she accepted that!At that moment, I wanted to burn everything down and take her with me, not caring what people would say. But then again, I couldn’t move my feet until I stood up and left the place.That particular moment has become viral news on the Internet. People could hurt her just because of this; does she not know?And there was Camilla too. She could do anything to hurt her because that woman is practically insane and stubborn.I sighed, wracking my fingers in my hair,“I am not worried about Camilla. I

VICTORIA’S POVThe announcement of my real identity worked like magic. Those trying to insult me and brought me down a few seconds ago suddenly froze with their words and expression.I consider the word “power” to be one of the world’s most controversial and elusive words. I have heard that power can silence all, which is what happened in the conference hall, especially for those who tried to slander me in ways.Amber stared at me as if she had drowned in a daze, and Reynolds’s jaw was on the floor, technically.The gazes were on me, glaring a moment ago, now on their laps, as if waiting for the announcement of their punishments.That brought a certain smile to my face as I continued with my speech.“Thank you for your warm and silent welcome, everyone. Now, as the CEO of E Shine, I would like to make some changes in the company. Specifically with the partners. Mr. Reynolds?” I turned my gaze at him.His face was pale as he looked up at me. “Ye..es, ma’am?”“A change in mention? I thin

ALESSANDRO’S POVI got ready in my dark blue suit. This is one of the gifts from Victoria she bought for me on our first marriage anniversary.I remembered that night, I stayed out all night because of a meeting, and she was awake all night with a cake and this gift. When I came back home, she was sad, but that made me annoyed.She didn’t say anything to me or even question me about where I was the whole night. Why was I so late? But I returned with Camilla beside me.She only watched us with a strange emotion in her eyes and asked if I wanted breakfast.With a shake of my head, I walked away, leaving Camilla in her line of sight, and whenever I recall that gaze, I am reminded of what it is... Pain... She suffered with her mouth shut. She must have thought I spent my night with Camilla, which is wrong, I didn’t!Fuck! It was a coincidence that I met Camilla on my way home! Now, when I think about that certain memory, I want to slap myself so hard for being ridiculously stupid.She was
