Chapter 93 So, it was her!
ALESSANDRO’S POV
The next morning, I woke up with a soft body pressing on me. Gently cradling her in my embrace, I
ensure not to disrupt her peaceful sleep. She’s exhausted. I was too rough with her last night, leaving
her feeling drained.
I looked at the watch, and it was nine in the morning. Victoria is usually an early riser, but she slept late
today.
I caressed her baby bump and kissed her head before getting out of bed slowly and carefully without
disturbing her.
I freshened up and went downstairs to the kitchen. Sophia and other servants greeted me, and I
returned their greetings.
They smiled and stood aside, letting me get into the kitchen. Unlike before, they are now used to my
presence in the kitchen.
I also learned to communicate with them directly. The friendly relationship between the owner and the
servants seems to bring out good results.
I learned a lot about Victoria from them, including how much they liked her and how upset they were
when we divorced. They also don’t like Camilla. It seemed I was the only one foolish enough to believe
that woman.
While talking with them, I made breakfast for my wife. It’s all according to the diet chart that the doctor
has given her especially.
After I was done cooking, I picked up the tray, walked upstairs, and found Victoria sitting on the bed,
drowned in her thoughts.
“Good Morning.” I greeted her with a smile as she turned to me, a little startled.
She blinked a few times, suddenly turned scarlet, and looked away from me, biting her lower lip.
Is she shy? Oh God! She looked so ravishing while being shy! This woman would be the death of me!
I raised my brow at her as I walked toward her, “What happened, Mrs Devonte? Are you shy?”
I sat beside her, keeping the tray on the bedside table.
She glared at me, and I smirked as I leaned down to her ear, lightly grazing my teeth against her skin,
making her shiver. “You seem to be in good energy. Wanna burn some of it again?” I whispered as she
turned red like a tomato.
Her head lowered in embarrassment. “Bring me my clothes. I am naked!”
“Oh! You don’t need to be embarrassed before me.” I leaned more to her ear, whispering, “I have seen
every inch of it. I know your body more than you do, baby.”
Saying this, I placed kisses on her cheek and jawline before nuzzling there.
Her lips formed a little pout as she narrowed her eyes at me before punching me playfully at the side of
my chest.
I immediately grabbed her hand and kissed it before biting it lightly, making her shy again.
“Give my clothes, Aless. I am hungry.” She pouted a little before rubbing her stomach. “Your baby is
hungry too.”
I couldn’t help but grin at her words. For a few people, it might be cliche, but I love it when she acts
innocent. Well, she is an innocent and purest woman. And she is mine.
I kissed her cheeks again and stretched my hand to pick up the cloth beside the tray. As soon as I
picked it up, something fell on the ground. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
I looked down at the thing, and it was a watch—a black wristwatch. A frown appeared between my
brows, and I picked up the watch, only to get frozen on the spot.
Th... This watch... It felt like my breathing went off for a moment, and I would lose it at any time.
It’s that... The black vintage watch...
After a few seconds of pause in shock, I finally got my voice to speak, “Victoria...” I called for her.
“Hmm?” She hummed as I turned to almost face her again
“Why do you have this watch?” I asked, staring at the watch, which I could never forget in my entire life
ever.
It’s my father’s last gift to me.
“Watch!?” I heard her stunned voice as I turned to her, holding the watch still in my hand.
Her eyes fell on it, and her expression relaxed a little. Her lips pouted while watching it. And a few later,
she spoke,
“Well, almost four years ago, I once saved a young man from a car accident near the temple beach,
close to the jungle. I still remember the sight of the nearly demolished black Maybach, with only its rear
half miraculously spared, as the relentless fire threatened to engulf the entire car. She sighed,
explaining the situation, raising my heartbeat in the process.
She saved a young man near the temple beach? I painfully swallowed as I lowered my gaze to the
watch in my hand.
I heard her continuing,
“Luckily, I was there. When I heard the banging sounds, I was scared at first, and then I finally saw the
almost ‘in fire’ car. The man in the back seat was still alive. Oh, Lord! I still felt goosebumps thinking
about the situation!”
“I somehow made a way to bring him out of the car, and it took me a lot of effort to drag him to the side
of the road.”
She explained, and I went back to four years ago, to the same scenario that had happened to me. A
young woman came and dragged me out of the car.
So, it was her! The one who saved me and even cared for the watch! My heart started beating faster
with time.
Victoria still didn’t notice the changes in me and continued, “I pulled him out and was so tired while
doing that. So, I walked away to call for help. However, when I came back, the man was gone!”
“I tried to search for him, but there was no trace! However, during my search for him, I stumbled upon
that watch. Considering no one else was there except him, it is possible that the watch belonged to
him.”
“I picked up the watch and kept it to myself. I thought I would return it to him after finding him. But then I
got so busy with my life and many other things that I almost forgot about this watch.”
“Last night, when I wanted to draw some new designs, this came out, and I recalled the incident. I
brought it out and kept it on the bedside table to ask your help if you can find out the owner of it...”
Suddenly, she stopped as her gaze fell on me, her expression filled with worry as she locked her eyes
onto mine. She blinked once,
“What is wrong, Aless? Are... Are you not feeling well?” She asked.
I only stared at her, lost for words, then looked down at the watch. I just lost the power of thoughts for a
moment.
Her brows furrowed, and worry crept all over her face. “What happened, Aless? Do... Do you know the
owner of this watch, or have you seen this watch before somehow?” She asked.
Know? I freaking am the owner of it! The one last thing Dad gave to me.
I looked up at her beautiful face. For years, I thought Camilla was the one who saved me, but...
“Alessandro? What’s wrong? Please tell me.”
I blinked and shook my head. “N... Nothing. What were you saying?”
She frowned and pouted a little before speaking, “I asked, have you seen this watch before? Or, do you
know the owner, somehow?”
I nodded only, unable to speak.
She brought her hands together, igniting a spark in her vibrant green eyes. “Great! Then you can help
me return it to him! The design of this watch is a vintage one. It might have a special meaning to him.”
I turned my gaze at the watch and smiled a little, suddenly feeling so unreal but happy from the soul.
“This is his father’s only legacy to him. It’s very special to him, and he still regrets losing it.”
Victoria smiled and nodded. “Thank God! I am glad I did pick it up and did not throw it away.”
She held my hands. “I am sure he will be the happiest getting it back!”
I watched her with a smile, pulled her closer, and gave her a lingering kiss.
I once dreamed that the woman who saved me was Victoria, which became the ultimate truth just this
moment. For years, I was unnecessarily indebted toward Camilla, then?
Just as the thought crossed me, I felt anger coursing through me. That woman lied to me and my whole
family again and again and kept taking advantage of us.
My fists clenched, and I felt her soft touch on my arm.
“Hey baby, what happened? Why are you lost?” I heard her concerned tone.
“I...” A lump formed in my throat, causing my words to halt abruptly.
“Do you wanna say something, baby?” She asked.
I looked into her sparkling green eyes and could only smile, swallowing the lump in my throat and
shaking my head.
“Nothing, baby.”
I picked up the tray and placed it before her. “Eat your breakfast first, and then I will take you to the
office.”
Her plump lips curled up into a bright smile as she nodded happily.
I swear, Victoria, I won’t let this smile disappear again. I will ruin anyone who dares to hinder your
radiant smile, and I will avenge those who have made you cry before...
