Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 108 You are Victoria Edwards!

VICTORIA’S POV…

I blinked my eyes heavily as the sudden bright light was like a noddle poking on the eyelids.

“Slowly, open your eyes. It’s alright. Everything is fine.” I heard Alessandro’s soothing tone, which worked a lot to calm the restlessness inside me.

With a couple more blinks, I finally was able to open my eyes. Before my eyes, I saw the five most familiar faces.

Mama, Papa, Ant, Aless and my doctor.

I stared at them. My mind turned blank all of a sudden. I just couldn’t process anything and everything felt so out of place. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

My hand subconsciously went to my belly and clutched onto my bump. Thank God, My baby is fine!

I tried to sit up and Mama and Aless helped me sit up. My eyes roamed around the whole room blankly and then fell on my parents’ worried faces.

I blinked a few times and slowly, everything started clear in my mind. Those images from the gallery and the war in my mind I just had, everything…

My lips parted but, I couldn’t form a word, just felt ticklish on my cheek. This feeling is known to me now. My tears chose to roll off my eyes.

Mama sat beside me and hold my hand. “What happened, baby? Why are you behaving like this? Look…” She gulped the heaviness in her tone, “Look, your mama and papa are here. What happened? Say to me, baby.”

“I…” I gulped. “Is that true?” I couldn’t help but ask the question that lingered in my mind. “Is that true, mama?” I looked up at my father. “Papa?”

Mama’s hand froze and Papa’s expression dimmed, making my heart tremble furiously. Why? Why is their reflection giving me a shiver? Why is the silent answer not flattering me? Why!?

“What are you talking about, Princess? Why all of a sudden you are saying this even!? That bustard told something and you are making a fuss of it? Victoria, doll, please, don’t be like this. You are hurting our parents.” Antonio stepped forward.

He seemed frustrated and somewhat displeased. But, I could not remove the restlessness inside me if I don’t get the answer!

He is frustrated, I know. Then what about me? Ain’t I hurt? Ain’t I get frustrated?

I wanted to shout but I couldn’t!

“I know he is not worth it. I also know Smith and we have conflicts. But…” I closed my eyes recalling his face and those words that fell out of his mouth. “The words he spoke have a lot of meaning behind it. His expression gave away his rage toward me. Why would he lie just to drown me like that?”

I looked at my mother and then my father, before asking, “I… I just want to know the truth. Did… Did he say the truth? Am I not…” I gulped again, saying the most difficult part, “Am I not your daughter?”

I said out. My tone was low but enough for others to hear them.

Mama’s hand stiff as she stared at me blankly and before I realised,

‘Pang~’

My cheek burned with a hard slap. I was stunned at her sudden action and heard gasps around. My mind turned blank and eyes misty, as I watched at my mother in shock.

“How dare you!?” She screamed, crying at this point. “How dare you ask this question to us!? You are Victoria Edwards! You are my daughter!” She shouted as Papa and Antonio both came to her side.

Her eyes were filled with pain and I felt so stupid at this moment.

Mama patted her chest roughly, “You are my daughter! You don’t have any right to say such a thing to me! To your father! Victoria! You are my daughter! You ate my daughter!”

She kept repeating those words when Papa hold her in his arms. She sobbed furiously and kept shaking her head.

“She is My daughter! She is mine! Why she would say such a thing? She is mine!”

Papa kept nodding his head and caressed her head. “Yeah, yeah, she is our daughter. Calm down, please… Calm down.” Papa kept saying that to her and soon, he walked her out of the room before it turned messier.

“Victoria, what is wrong with you!?” Antonio came by my side and I only stared at him blankly.

I am still in a daze at the fact that the Mama slapped me. This happens for the very first time. She never even behaved like this when I decided to leave home years ago for Aless.

But, today, she broke apart with that one question. Why? Why is it so sensitive to her? That broke my strongest mother even?

I don’t know anymore. I am not able to process anything frequently.

I lowered my gaze. My mind is devastated. At this point, I don’t know what is right and what is wrong. If I open my mouth now, I may hurt them again and I don’t want to do that.

So, I just closed my eyes. Inhaling a sharp breath, I spoke, “I want to be alone for some time.” I said.

I looked up at my husband and my brother. I could see worry and a glimpse of hurt in their eyes. I know, this hurt them but my unknown words could do it more.

So, I chose to stay away from everyone and relax first.

“Please…” I added.

“I guess, she is right. This is such a huge blow to her. And considering her condition, we should give her some time to calm herself down from the inside. Let’s go out first and let the situation relax too.” This time my doctor spoke.

Antonio silently walked out of the room and Alessandro bend down to kiss my temple. “Take rest and let me know if you need anything, okay?”

I nodded and then he walked out, following the doctor, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I leaned back, against the pillow and closed my eyes before opening it again. If what Smith has said is the truth of my life? Then who am I?
