Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 55 Victoria?
VICTORIA’S POV
“VICTORIA!” I heard Maria’s shout of fear.
Everything suddenly came to a standstill, both in my surroundings and thoughts. As I watched myself losing balance and falling to the ground, only one thought was consuming my mind – what would come next?
My baby… Am I going to lose it again? At that point, in just milliseconds, it felt like everything turned slow, and it was only me with my misery.
My well-being holds no importance to me, but the only thing that matters to me is the well-being of the child growing inside me.
I attempted to grasp anything within reach, desperate for support, but to no avail. I am falling, unaware of the impending danger.
I closed my eyes, and a huge lump formed inside me as I followed my destiny, but suddenly…
Something hard snaked around my waist, and before I could react, I was forcefully yanked backwards until my back hit a hard wall.
I was shocked, still in that trauma from a few years, when the man before me flew away somewhere.
Directing my gaze towards my stomach, where I was being held, I noticed a massive and familiar arm. This touch…
I closed my eyes, wanting to think something else, ignoring the thought rushing through my head. When I opened them, I saw Sage trying to catch the kidnappers, but that huge arm still held me.
I saw Maria’s face. She was crying and asking me if I was okay or needed anything, but my thoughts were stuck only on the arm, holding me by the waist.
He is standing behind me, balancing my weight as I felt weak on my knees, trembling badly.
I felt the arm tighten around me, and the other joined, pulling me closer. There is no way in this world I could forget this touch—this presence.
It’s him… Alessandro…
As if to prove my thought, he spoke, “Victoria?”
That one mention of my name was enough to prove his concern. I couldn’t calculate it anymore. His presence, his concern, is that all for me?
The thought made the world spin around my head.
Gradually, my senses began to shut down, one by one. The only noise reverberating in my mind was a loud, persistent ringing that pushed me further and further away. My sight became obscured, and ultimately, I was drawn into abyssal darkness.

ALESSANDRO’S POV
I landed in Paris when it was past midnight. The weather was cold in Paris compared to America at this time.
Upon glancing at my wristwatch, I discovered that it was four o’clock in the morning, and it occurred to me that she might be fast asleep at this hour. Also, I appeared exhausted and disheveled, prompting me to opt for a hotel close to her location.
I discovered she was staying a little out of the main city. Well, one thing I know about her is that she loves to stay peaceful and away from noise. Even though I have never been a good husband, I know it.
I wanted to sleep for some time but hardly slept a few hours before I woke up and urged Calvin to send her current location to me.
After receiving the location from him, which was in the vicinity of the Eiffel Tower within the super mall, I hailed a taxi. Eventually, I arrived at my destination following a considerable amount of traffic.
When I was out of the taxi, the first thing that captured my attention was the Eiffel Tower, standing with its pride, attitude and huge experience.
I have been to Paris before but always for work reasons. This is the first time I am here for something personal, and that is love. In the city of romance, I really wished to get my wife back in my life. And when I win her back, I will visit that tower with her.
Promising myself, I concentrated on the shop. I texted Calvin to see if she was still in the shop, and the reply was positive.
Out of nowhere, a sudden wave of nervousness swept over me. I don’t know why, but the feeling was so different even though I had met her countless times before! Well, it’s my first encounter with her since I have come to terms with my feelings for her.
I inhaled and exhaled a few deep breaths to calm my nerves down. Yeah, you can do it, Alessandro. You have to do it! Encouraging myself as I was about to cross the road then…
The shop door opened, and a huge hulk-like man walked out, following behind a middle-aged woman and then… There she is, smiling and talking with that middle-aged woman.
My whole world stopped. It seemed everything just disappeared like it was only her and me. Victoria appeared sweet and beautiful, wearing a loose dress with a snug cardigan and matching sneakers.
I blinked… Something has changed in her. She is still my Victoria, but a pointed change happened that I couldn’t get a hold of.
She still didn’t see me but stood with the woman back-facing me, and I watched the man take all the bags and walk toward the parking lot. The desire to be with her was overwhelming, but it felt like my legs turned so heavy and glued to the ground!
As I was fighting with my inner guilts and nervousness, I suddenly saw a black sedan car pull before them, and two men came out.
Suddenly, my heart clenched tight as my senses urged me to rush to her Sensing that something was amiss, I acted on my intuition. My legs came back to life as I ran toward her.
The scene before me was dangerous as I saw one man pushing the middle-aged woman back and the other trying to pull Victoria with him.
She struggled and was about to fall. Anger rushed through me, and I caught her with one arm pulling close to me as I kicked the man away from her. The other man tried to attack me from behind, and I punched him in the face, still holding her. Immediately, the hulk-like man that left a few ago with bags came running and went behind those men as the woman rushed to us. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I looked down at the woman in my arms. Her body was stiff, as if she froze in the situation. She was trembling as I held her tight in my arms.
“Victoria?” I called for her, and then suddenly, she lost her balance and weight, causing her to lose consciousness while leaning on me.
Oh shit!
