Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 45 Victoria Edwards?!
ALESSANDRO’S POV
With the same dream of my accident three years ago, I woke up from sleep with a ray of annoying brightness on my face.
This was the second time I saw Victoria opening my eyes.
But why? She wasn’t the one who saved me, but it was Camilla. Maybe, because I miss her so much, she always appeared in my dreams.
I miss her… Yes, I do, but what she did this evening is something not acceptable. She drugged me three years ago to climb on my bed.
I know the situation was different, and she lied to marry me. For three years, I did wrong to her, and I admit that too. However, that does not justify her action and what she did last night. She drugged me again and used the same method for it.
I turned to face her, and the moment I turned to see her, my brain stopped when I found the bed empty beside me, and suddenly my mind joined too in that line.
Only her sweet and delicate fragrance lingered in the air.
Without delay, I sat up in bed and scanned the area. Only my garments were neatly arranged, and there was no indication of hers. She really left!
My anger suddenly converted into fear of losing her, and I jumped out of bed. I want to see her no matter what; even if she drugged me, I don’t care. I had never experienced what occurred last night— the emotions and sense of satisfaction were entirely new to me.
I need to see her!
I looked for my phone and located it on the couch. Perhaps I had thrown it there in a fit of anger the day before. Although I intended to call her, but…
Fuck! The battery is dead! I forgot to charge my phone before attending the party yesterday after using it the whole day.
I swore under my breath and hastily got dressed in the clothes I had worn the night before. Then I hurried out of the room. The resort was deserted, except for the employees going about their usual routines.
As I went to the reception area, the receptionist girl was surprised to see me and then brought out her professionalism.
“How may I help you, sir?” She asked.
“Can I know about a lady called Victoria Blake? She was here at the party yesterday; I want to meet her. Can you tell me about her?” I asked.
“I am sorry, sir, but we can not reveal our customer’s information,” she denied.
I wracked my fingers in my hair.
“No, not her information. Can you inform me of her location? Has she departed from the party, or is she still present? Or can you check, please?” I was impatient.
She thought for a second and then nodded. “Maybe, I can check the lost for you, sir.”
She looked down at the computer on the desk, furrowed her brows together, and looked up at me a few moments later.
“Umm… Are you sure about her name, sir?” She asked with a little doubt that made me furious.
“Do you think I am kidding with you? I am fucking Alessandro Devonte! Too busy to play such lame jokes!” I barked at her.
She flinched for a second and then nodded, “I am sorry, sir, but there is no certain name.”
“Check carefully! How is that even possible!?” I said, confused.
“I am sorry, sir, but Victoria Blake is not on my list.” The receptionist sounded scared, but she controlled it well.
However, I was not in the mood to appreciate such a thing as I was about to snap at her again, when…
“Director…”
Calvin’s voice came to my ear as I turned to face him. He rushed toward me and checked me out.
“Oh, thank God, you are fine! I was so worried when you didn’t pick up your phone. Are you alright, sir?” He asked with a concerned tone.
“What do you mean? What happened to me?” I asked back.
He blinked as if trying to know what was wrong with me. “Wasn’t you here last evening? The news of Miss Edwards is the headline all over America!”
Here I am trying to search for Victoria, and my assistant is fondling over a piece of news.
“I don’t care! I have a more important thing to do. I need to find Victoria. Search for her,” I said, but Calvin watched me suspiciously.
He blinked twice before shaking his head in disbelief. “You really don’t know? How is that possible when you were present at the party?”
Present? of course. Despite her wrongdoing, I can’t forget the evening I spent with the woman because it still feels like the right thing even now. My mind keeps going back to that moment.
With pleasure, that thought also annoyed me. “What the fuck are you saying? Just do as I say!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
I want to see Victoria, not the heiress of Edwards! No one can be the number one on my priority list other than Victoria.
Hearing my words, Calvin stared at me with a confusing gaze for some time, and then he suddenly brought out his phone from his pocket as I watched him with a frown.
He went through something before turning his phone in front of my eyes.
I had the urge to lash out at him once more, but I halted when I beheld a stunning countenance in front of me—the face I had been seeking. It was Victoria’s face.
However, soon my brows knitted together in confusion, and suddenly I forgot to breathe.
It’s because of the headline under her photo that froze me in place.
‘The heiress of E Shine finally revealed herself yesterday in the Edwards resort with the presence of media and corporate partners and guests of E Shine.’ Then, in bold letters, ‘Victoria Edwards’ was written next to her picture.
