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

VICTORIA

"You better pick up the necklace while returning home," mom reminded me for the fifth time in a day, and I sighed helplessly, nodding.

"Don't worry, mama; I won't forget." And I assured her of the same amount of time!

"Oh baby, I am so excited for you; finally, you are doing it. Your papa and I always dreamed of this moment," she said. Her tone is full of love which made me smile brightly.

"Yes, mom. I am glad to make you guys happy," I replied, and with another reminder of the necklace she had ordered for me, we hung up.

This is called the love of a mother; whatever they do or how busy they are, they won't ever forget to take care of their children.

Everyone has a different opinion and way of caring for their family, which shouldn't be judged. The main thing is the care they show.

I caressed my belly, where lies my little infant that is still growing, and the notion that I would become a mother in one month crossed my thoughts. Maybe I will also become a super nagging and typical mother.

I am sure my child will also feel annoyed at a certain age until he or she grows to realize the real meaning of care.

I looked down at my belly and couldn't help the smile on my face.

"No matter what happens, I will always love you endlessly." Kissing my palm, I pressed it to my child, sealing the promise I had made.

Soon, I left the office earlier, and Daniel proposed to come with me, but I let him go. He has worked a lot these days, and I don't want to tire him out. So, I drove myself to the mall.

Mom has sent me a photo of the new necklace she has chosen for me. E Shine designed the jewelry, and it's settled in the store that E Shine owns.

Not a hassle to pick it up. So, I decided to select a dress first for tomorrow's party, matching the photo mama sent.

I went to the 'Z' mall. One of the finest malls in NYC. You can find almost every designer collection here. One of the shopping havens is for rich people.

Though we have come here occasionally, our family holds a couple of shares in this mall. Most of them belong to me, which makes me one of the rare Platinum customers in this mall.

Last time I remember, Grandma Nina held the Diamond membership here. Well, you know what I mean.

I am not criticizing them, but they are too proud of their status.

Anyways, I walked inside the mall and directly went to the shop of designer Jackson D. He is my mother's friend and one of the classiest designers renowned for his unique fashion sense. He is famous among celebrities mostly.

I have known Jackson D since childhood because of mama. He is one of the funniest guys and a sweetheart. I also like his boyfriend, who is a chef, Danny Roberto. Both looked so gorgeous together. When I entered the shop, I saw Jackson pinning on one of his mannequins. I'm glad he is here. I believe in his style. I stood behind him, clearing my throat.

"Knock, knock. Is anybody home?"

His back stiffened as he turned around with his eyes widened and gasped. "Oh. My. God! Vici!" He immediately pulled me into a bone-crushing hug as all of his staff stared at me curiously.

This is because Jackson never gets close too much to anyone unless they are his closest members, and he adores me like his own daughter.

Now when I look back to my younger self, I was stupid to leave all this love to gain something that was never mine.

****

"So? Did you leave him? And now with his baby? Are you sure that family won't cause you trouble?" He arched his brow when I told him everything.

I smiled, sipping on a mojito, "I don't care what they do; I am not a damsel in distress. Moreover, I have you to back me up, haven't I?" I danced my brows at him.

"Of course I will! Even If I have to beat his ass up in public! Moron!" He rolled his eyes, making me chuckle. "I will..."

He wanted to continue more when he got an important call. He excused himself before asking me to look around and select the designs if there was anyone I liked.

At first, I didn't get up, but when I started feeling a little bored, I started pacing around.

His designs are the best, especially my wandering eyes stopped on a wedding dress that is designed with pearls and flowers. It is a princess gown, more like a gown for goddess.

A sigh escaped my lips. I used to dream of a Prince charming and ask Jackson to design me the prettiest gown for the wedding, and he promised me that, but... Sigh.

Suddenly, two voices caught my attention as I gasped silently, and my eyes fell on them.

Why God? Why do they have to be here? Fuck!

My happy mood was suddenly ruined by these two faces. Camilla and Lisa. Lisa is Alessandro's cousin. She is probably around eighteen and aunt Gina's daughter. She is one of the richest people; if I am not wrong, she is one step ahead of her mother.

So annoying!

I wanted to avoid their eyes and slip into Jackson's office, but my luck always forced me into stupid dramas.

Yeah, they saw me already...Sigh...

They were surprised at first, and then suddenly Lisa spoke, "I heard in the news that NYC's economy has fallen recently, but never thought it was too much that they are allowing beggars into expensive malls!" I almost rolled my eyes but stopped doing such childish things in front of children.

"I agreed," this is Camilla. "I also think these malls should check every customer before they go out of this place. Who knows, there may be thieves in them?”

I tried to ignore their words, but they didn't only stop there but started roaming around me.

"What happened? Do you like anything here? What sort of Jackson D dress is that? So cheap, maybe?" Lisa said, smirking with mockery.

I shifted my gaze to the other part of the collection when I heard Camilla, "Oh, now I know, where are you spending the fortunes you have stolen from my Aless! What a bitch!"

Her tone was sharp and rude, gaining customers' and staff's attention to me. Simply provoking me to answer them. But do they really think I am immature like they are?

They have always questioned my standard, haven't they? And they are right, though. Our standards were never met. After all, mine is higher than theirs.

I smiled at Camilla and shrugged, "Who knows, maybe?"

Angers snapped in her eyes as she was infuriated. They have said a thousand words, and I only said three. See, that's why I always say they are immature.

Camilla was about to say something when Jackson's assistant Naila came to me. "Hi, ma'am." She smiled at me. "Ja..."

Before she could start speaking, Camilla furiously reported, "I don't understand; how do you guys allow such a lowly woman in your shops? It feels so disgusting! I am now disgusted to buy anything from here!'

Naila was confused at first and watched me in embarrassment. However, she is professional and smart to handle; otherwise, no way she could be Jackson's assistant for over two years!

"I am sorry, ma'am, but you may have misjudged the wrong person. Miss Victoria is one of the valuable customers of Jackson D and the whole 'Z' mall. She holds the platinum membership card."

She turned her gaze to me and said with a smile, "Jackson is waiting for you."

"Thanks, I will be there shortly. Now if you please..."

With a firm nod, she stepped away, giving me privacy with two bitches as I looked up at their stunned gazes and smiled brightly.

"In any case, it was not very pleasant to encounter you two; I have already warned your boyfriend, and now I'm warning you: do not walk into my path. Even if we meet coincidentally anywhere in this world, just ignore that and move on your way. The same goes for me. Hope never to remind you this again."

With that, I turned around to leave when I heard Camilla's angry groan and Lisa's comforting words to her.

"Camilla, don't be angry with her; she is useless. Moreover, you are Aless's fiancée now, and I recently got to know Mr. Edwards will be holding a party tomorrow night to celebrate the return of the company's heiress. Let's go there together!"

Camilla was excited to hear that, "Yes, I will ask Aless to come with me! I am sure we can bond and grow both professional and personal relationships!"

"Yeah, that would be great! I have heard she is such an amazing jewelry designer. I am sure we can kick out this bitch Victoria out of the company..." and they were on mouthing heaven about the person they had never even met before.

I mean, what would happen next when they all get to know that the heiress is no one else but me?

Oh, so much drama is awaiting ahead! Suddenly, I am so excited about some drama...
