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

Chapter 89 Time changes, so do people

VICTORIA’S POV

I don’t know this feeling, but I am in a dubious situation now. I am constantly alert, expecting something

to happen without apparent cause.

According to my mother, this experience is not uncommon during pregnancy, especially considering my

past and having suffered a miscarriage before. I even went to see a psychiatrist twice, in secret. She

happens to be a friend of my mother’s.

She also said the same things and told me not to worry, reassuring me that the wound would heal with

time and proper care. She also asked me to keep myself busy with happy things, and I tried to do that.

However, with Dominic by my side and his prior interactions and demeanor causing some concern, I

find myself feeling uneasy at this juncture.

Still, I am here with him. I wanted to deny Aless, but I couldn’t. I don’t want him to be troubled by my

assumptions. So, I agreed.

The whole ride was silent as I kept looking out of the car window, trying to enjoy the scenarios of the

outside world without being bothered. Guess I could not do much about it.

And soon, he pulled the car before our mansion. The driver opened the door for me, and I stepped out,

relieved because I didn’t want to stay alone much with him. Strangely, it’s uncomfortable for me

However, to my surprise and somewhat disliking, Dominic got out of the car too and said, “Let me

guard you to your house. It’s dangerous when it’s dark.”

I turned to him. Those were the same words he said to me in college. Initially, I assumed he was

expressing his concern, but over time, I understood that it was his way of showing appreciation for our

time together.

But that was five years ago. And now, five years later, we are in two different ways. Our life changes

and their meaning too. He is my brother-in-law now, and I am his younger brother’s fiancée, even

carrying his baby.

At this point, those words seemed strange and uncomfortable to me. I don’t know if he is trying to

return to the past or is just concerned. I only know that I need to be concerned about Alessandro’s

feelings.

When he agreed to let me come with Dominic, I heard the reluctance in his tone, but still, he kept his

jealousy aside and acted maturely. I need to respect that at any cost.

So, I politely refused with a smile, “It’s alright, I can go in alone.”

Voicing out my decision, I turned around to leave when I heard...

“Victoria!” Dominic called out for me.

I paused, turned around, and looked at Dominic with a smile. “Yes? Anything you wanna say,

Dominic?”

His deep blue gaze watched me and then inserted his hands in his pant pockets. He slowly came close

to me, which made me take a step back.

“Dominic?” I am a bit confused by his sudden behavior.

He stopped, leaving a little space between us. Without my stepping back, there wouldn’t have been any

space.

“Can you give me one more chance?” He suddenly asked.

His deep blue gaze demanded an answer, but his expressionless face gave no indication of his

thoughts.

Honestly, I wasn’t astonished by the question. Even though it did not cross my mind, I guess

subconsciously, I was expecting this to come.

And I don’t even have to think of an answer, either. I only smiled at him.

“Dominic, when we were in college, you were my senior, and I used to admire and like you.”

“Perhaps, at one point, I desired to spend my entire life with you. However, when an unforeseen event

occurred, that desire was not fulfilled. A single accident altered many things.”

“The news was announced, and like others, I also thought you were dead a few years ago. I was

devastated at that time, Dominic. It felt like my whole life finished and my dreams shattered. Then one

evening, I saw Alessandro.”

“He looked so much like you that I decided to be beside him without a thought. And I became his

assistant, leaving my whole identity behind. I only did get close to Aless because of you, Dominic.”

I did not hide my true feelings anymore and explained everything to him.

His blank expression melted, and he smiled at me. But I am not here to make him happy, right? It’s

about me and my story.

I continued, “But... Now, it’s not possible anymore. When I started spending time with Aless, I made

excuses for myself, attributing my attraction to him solely to his resemblance to you. However, I now

realize that this was not the case.

“Alessandro is a whole different person. Now, at this point, I can’t lie to myself, as I stopped lying to

myself years ago when I realized that I have fallen in love with Alessandro, and that’s not because of

you.”

“I understand and appreciate what you said and respect your feelings. However, I must apologize as

this situation cannot come to fruition. I hope that in the future, this won’t cause any discomfort between

us since we are now a family.”

I thought this would keep him away from me, but he moved closer and held me in his arms, saying

anxiously...

“Tori, it’s all my fault! You don’t have to say sorry to me. I came back too late. Just one...”

I turned really annoyed at this point and pushed Dominic away from me. No matter what, this can not

happen. I love Alessandro now, and I am too involved with him.

Moreover, I do not expect such behavior from Dominic that would cause harm to Alessandro.

“You need to understand, Dominic, that everything has changed now. The people are the same, but

relationships have taken their course. Time changes, and so do people. I am sorry.”

Saying, I turned around and headed to our home—mine and Alessandro’s home.

Without glancing back at Dominic, I refrained from sending any misleading signals his way. The whole

situation was already a chaotic mess, and I had no intention of making it worse.

As I walked forward, I heard from behind, “Tori, I just want you to be happy.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

However, I refrained from facing him this time and proceeded to enter the mansion as there was no

further need for a response.
