VICTORIA’S POV“So? What next?” Jayden asked, sipping on his afternoon coffee as we sat on the porch of my new house in Paris.This is one of Edwards’s properties under my name, one of the most beautiful locations, a little distant from the main city, yet not so far. As I don’t go out frequently, I have chosen to remain in this place and continue my daily routine.I sipped on my green tea before turning my gaze to him.“What next?” I am a bit confused by his words.He sipped his coffee again and kept the coffee mug on the tea table before us, turning his whole focus in my direction.“I am talking about your life; how are you planning to move further?” He questioned with a serious tone.Well, as a friend of mine, I understood his concern.I shrugged, “well, for now, I am continuing my study and enjoying the charm of life without any pressure. Later with my baby’s birth, I will move forward with him or her. I just don’t want to complicate things anymore.” I said truthfully. Frankly, I di

ALESSANDRO’S POVI kept zoning out between works after getting the phone call from Victoria. I can’t just let go of her angered and cold tone. She is someone that meant everything to me, and I got to realize it after she left me.The whole day, I kept urging Calvin if he got her location, and he kept repeating that he was trying. I don’t blame him; she was prepared when she called me so I couldn’t find her location.She thought I had released Camilla, but that’s not the truth! I would never do that! I believe I felt the most satisfied when Camilla was apprehended for her unlawful actions, and I am confident that none of my family members were involved. I would have been aware of the situation if they had attempted to take any actions without my knowledge.Soon enough, Calvin rushed into my office. I looked at him with expectations, but his next words ruined my mood solely as it was nothing related to Victoria.“Sir, DW Wine Corp is going to hold a banquet next week and send you an invi

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.Directi

VICTORIA’S POVI stared at him, stunned. What did he say? Back to his life? The way in the past?I couldn’t help but laugh hard this time. Bitterness rolled out of me in a way I didn’t even feel when I heard Camilla was out of jail. This man really knows how to send me to the edges of my patience.Surprised at my reaction, I felt his gaze on me but couldn’t care less. He should have thought deeply before saying those words.Who on this earth would lead the life I spent with him those three years? In the hell? And he even dared to say that to me?I glared at him, pointing at my face. “Does it written fool here? Or did you, in your mind, engrave that particular expression for me?” My tone came out more rude this time. He straightened and parted his lips to say something, but I raised my hand.“You better leave, Alessandro. I can’t believe you are still here, saying you want me back in your life like in the past. What? Don’t Camilla give you the pleasure of torturing her? Or are none of y

ALESSANDRO’S POVI dragged myself out of Victoria’s beautiful Villa, broken and devastated. The hate I saw on her face for me was something I deserved, but my mind was not ready to accept it.Heck! It would never be ready!I knew something had changed in her when I saw her in front of the super mall, and when she was taken home unconscious and that middle-aged lady, Maria started crying and caring for her and the baby.Every inch of me crumbled when I realized she was pregnant. She is fucking pregnant for five-six months!A part of me really wanted to know who the baby belonged to. And another part of me believes that the baby is mine. She was my wife five months ago, and our marriage was not sexless.Did she get pregnant at that time? Then why she never told me? Wait...I stopped on my track with a thought in mind. Was she pregnant before our divorce?Fuck! Then why didn’t she tell me? Had I known, I would not have agreed to the divorce proposal.But then again, my mood plummeted, as
