Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro)

Chapter 123 A truth that was buried deep...

AN HOUR BEFORE IN THE EDWARDS MANOR...

VICTORIA'S POV...

Life has turned to the extreme point where I am in dubiousness. Well, I should be in uncertainity but I

am not. I have experienced lots of things in just twenty-four years of my life. And each detail I have

learned from the hardest truth.

Even easy things I got to learn in the hardest way possible and that made me stronger with time. I am

not just the princess of the Edwards family but I am more than that. I am Victoria Edwards and that is

not only my identity.

I am a woman who just started her own design company 'Evelett' That's a growing company and I have

earned lots of loyal customers in a few days. I am the CEO of the greatest E Shine. I am a daughter, a

sister, a wife, a mother and mostly, a woman with her own identity.

I can be a caring wife who is always willing to lean on her husband and earn his love. I also can be a

woman who shares burdens with her husband equally. Because the family should run equally and

that's what I believe.

This morning, I have seen Alessandro in tension. Even though he tried to hide his worries from me for a

couple of days, I know he is in trouble. I love him and the connection we share is something beyond

someone's imagination.

I love Alessandro to the fullest and I can read his face even if he does not share his pain with me.

Because he loves me and I appreciate that. He promised to keep up safe and I also vowed to take care

of my family.

Since he is gone to his office, I felt a strange feeling creeping into my heart. And I know, something bad

is gonna happen. And that forced me to call, Anastasia, the receptionist and my hidden spy, I planted in

Reywalt.

Yes, I did something without Alessandro's realisation. Not Because I distrust him but because I want to

help him. I realised his tension the best when I heard Dominic's words in DW'S office.

Not only that, I let John investigate things for me. Remember him? John the designer from P.G's

competition? He is working as my assistant in my new company 'Evelett'.

Employing him was one of the best decisions of mine. He proved it with time, showing progress in his

design and attitude.

I also took a little help from Sage. He stayed home and helped me instruct his men to find out what is

happening in the Reywalt and more precisely, what Dominic is planning.

The danger I felt from him, I know, he is not someone who can be trusted. Because, the Dominic I

knew, it was not him but the current one has changed so strangely.

With a few rings, Anastasia picked up my call. "Good Morning, Miss Edwards."

"Good Morning, Anastasia. Let's get to the point directly, okay? What is the update there? Is everything Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

going alright?" I asked, feeling tightness coiling in my stomach.

She was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Honestly, I don't know what is happening today. At

first, Mr Dominic Devonte just appeared in the office and directly went up to Director's Office. It's been

said that he is the new director of the company! And a few minutes later, our current director appeared.

Now, both of them are in the Director's Office and none of us know what is going on." She sighed...

"Even Ast. Calvin seems upset and worried for some reason."

"Did you just say that Dominic is the said Director?" I asked, trying to make sure what she is saying is

the truth.

"I don't know for real. But, it's been saying for the last few days. And Mr Alessandro's absence made

the rumour stronger." She replied and I nodded.

"Okay, thanks for the information, Anastasia."

"No, ma'am. I should thank you. You are the one who helped me find this job. I am glad to help you

anytime." She said.

After thanking her again, I hung up the phone and immediately dialled Sage and John's number

together taking them to the conference.

They both picked up my call and greeted me. I greeted them back and hopped to the main part

immediately, "What's the news? I need it now. I don't have enough time, I guess."

"I was about to call you ma'am," Sage spoke. "In the investigation, I just find out that, Mr Dominic has

bought Reywalt's forty-five per cent of shares which made him the highest shareholder of the company.

You guessed it right ma'am, he is trying to take the Director's position. He probably headed to Reywalt

to take his position already. " He spoke.

"And what about you, John?" I asked him next.

"Ma'am, there is a little depressing situation between Mrs Nina Devonte and Mr Dominic. They have

some clashes I guess, the reason is still unknown and I am working on it. And..." I heard some page-

flipping sounds and then heard his tone,

"And while you were kidnapped, it was Mr Dominic who shot Miss White and not Mr Alessandro. While

searching for that, I also find out, Mr Dominic and Miss White were having a strange affair between

them for years. Miss White knew Mr Dominic was alive for years but never revealed the news. He was

the one who freed her from the prison."

I nodded my head, the mist is getting clear slowly. "Good Job guys, you did an amazing job. I will talk to

you soon. Right now, I need to take care of something."

"Sure ma'am. Take care." Sage spoke and I hung up.

Now, it's time to meet Grandma Nina. She is the only one who can solve this mess but before that, I

need some help from Antonio...

*************

The car stopped before the huge building of Reywalt. I once looked up at the proud logo of it and then

turned to the gloomy woman beside me. Grandma Nina.

I hold her hand and she looked up at me. Her eyes filled with fear and sadness. I patted her hand. "It's

alright, grandma. Everything will be fine. You just need to open up before Aless and I will take care of

other things, okay?"

She nodded and hold my hands. "You are my last hope, Victoria. Please, save my Aless."

I stayed silent and we both soon came out of the car and went directly to the Director's Office. No one

dared to stop us.

I inhaled a deep breath before entering and thank God, I arrived at the exact time and stopped

Alessandro from signing.

Both Aless and Dominic turned to us, as I walked inside with Grandma following me behind.

"Victoria? Grandma? What are you guys doing here?!" Alessandro asked, sounding shocked.

"Yes, we are here," I said, smiling at my husband when I heard,

"that's good then..." Dominic spoke. "I am glad you both came. I was just about to take the Director's

position in the company. With my family around, I will feel better and appreciated." He sneered at us.

And I only laughed. "Are you sure about it, Dominic?" I asked him with a soft smile on my face,

challenging his words silently.

Dominic's smile vanished as he watched me deeply with those sharp blue eyes. "What do you mean?"

He asked. His tone turned alert. .

I confidently stepped forward with a document in my hand and stopped beside my husband, who is

staring at me in shock and confusion.

"Well, I also have 10% shares of Reywalt Corporation," I announced. "And I would like to give these

shares to my husband." I smiled and looked at my overly shocked husband and smiled even brighter

before turning to my so-called brother-in-law.

"Aless had 40% already and with my 10% added, he now owns 50% share of the company. If I am not

wrong, you only have 45%, 5% lower than him. So..." I shrugged, implying that I just won the game he

started.

With that, I tossed the document to Dominic. "You can check it if you want."

Dominic picked up the file, frowned and started to read it. I leaned toward my husband and closed his

slightly parted mouth, dropping a soft kiss on his lips, "Close your mouth baby, or you will catch flies!" I

whispered and he gasped, making me smile even wider.

Oh, he is so cute!

After reading the document, Dominic started to laugh suddenly. And honestly, he seemed so helpless

and defeated at this point.

"I never thought that I would lose to you in the end, Victoria. A naive girl from the college turned into a

cunning tycoon, huh? Well, appreciative, Victoria. I didn't really expect you to secretly acquire so many

shares."

I smiled only holding Aless's hand tightly and said to Dominic, "I heard you discussing with someone to

buy Reywalt's share on the day I went to your office. I realised your intention at that very moment."

"No wonder," Dominic said with a chuckle. He fixated his gaze on me, "Victoria, did you forget that five

years ago, it was me who saved you by sacrificing my life? Because of me, you are standing right here.

Is that how you repay me?"

I nodded my head. He is trying to play the sympathy card but he forgot that I am not the same Victoria

anymore.

"Well, I do remember and I will always remember that, Dominic. I appreciate the sacrifice you made.

And I am really willing to pay you even with my life but..."

I raised my brow at him. "You should know a thing that, for me, nothing or no one comes first other than

my family. If you are thinking I will repay you by hurting my husband according to your plan, then you

are certainly wrong, Mr Dominic Devonte. Oh, no! Not Devonte anymore but Dominic Warrior... Isn't

that the new surname you adopted?" I raised my brow and his expression froze, making me smile even

wider. It's fun to win like this.

At that moment, Grandmother suddenly spoke angrily from behind, "Dominic, the person you hate is

me, don't try to harm Aless!"

Dominic snorted and said, "What? Are you so afraid that I will hurt your 'precious' grandson?" He

showed an airy sign while saying precious.

"Dominic, don't be like this!" Aless spoke after a long time. "He is our grandmother! I am sure, you

understood things wrong!" He tried to speak but I felt sad for him, knowing how he would feel after

learning the truth.

"Grandma..." Aless turned to Grandma. "Dominic is demanding that you tried to hurt him before. Tell

him that he is thinking all wrong, Grandma. Please, stop this mess! Why would he hate you!?" He

sounded anxious.

And I felt pain coursing through me as I hold his hand and he turned to me with a sorrowful gaze.

I slowly turned to Grandma and nodded at her. Silently, asking her to speak up this time.

Grandma shook her head, her old age started getting her as she looked so weak.

"It's not possible anymore Alessandro." She spoke weakly.

"Why not!?" Aless asked anxiously, "Why not, grandma?"

"Because he is not your brother!" Grandma cried out, revealing a truth that is enough to shake

Alessandro's whole belief and trust.

A truth that was buried deep for years is gonna come out soon...
