Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 117
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! It’s the mother or the child…
ALESSANDRO’S POV…
Suddenly, everything turned silent. Victoria is in my arms, unconscious. Camilla is on the ground a little away from us.
The knife in her hand was still in the sale way. Her eyes open wide, looking at me as if they are accusing me of something and blood oozing out of her.
At this point, I don’t know if she is alive or dead. Honestly, I don’t care! Selfish of me, I know. But, what happened to her was all because of her!
But, who shot her like that? I couldn’t have time to bring my gun with me. Then this? Suddenly, I heard footsteps to see Dominic running toward me. My eyes caught the black metal thing in his hand and I realised what happened.
He stopped before Camilla, checked her and shook his head. She is no more. I don’t feel anything at the news and turned to the woman in my arms. Her face was wrinkled, maybe she is in pain.
My only attention was on my Victoria at this moment and I couldn’t think of anything else even if I want to!
“How is she?” Dominic asked bending down before us.
I blinked, don’t know why my vision turned blurry. I only stared at her. Even a few minutes ago, I felt like I am losing her and now, she is in my arms.
I hold her tightly and suddenly,
Victoria groaned. Her face frowned and sweat bids formed on her forehead. “A… Aless…”
“Yes! I am here with you!” I replied immediately as I saw tears rolling from her closed eyes.
“Aless… Ba… Baby… sa.ve it…” She said somehow and I turned confused. And before I could realise it, her face scrunched more as she groaned in pain, clutching her baby bump.
“Get her to the hospital, first!” Dominic spoke from beside and then only I realised what is happening. Immediately, I stood up with her in my arms. Not caring if there is anyone with me or not.
With Victoria in my arms, I headed to the hospital. I only know one thing, I need to save her. She is my life and without her, my whole life is dark.
***********
In The Hospital…
I stood before the huge double door of the hospital, staring at the red light that is on right now. Just this one wooden barrier between me and my beloved wife.
I rushed to the hospital with her and the doctors immediately took her to ICU and then transferred to OT.
Because she started bleeding and at this point, doctors can’t tell if she is going into premature labour or something else. They are all inside with her.
And I am standing outside of the hospital anxiously, not knowing what to expect at this point. My life seemed to be destroyed at this time. All my deeds from the past started forming images in my head.
How badly I treated Victoria for three years. How she suffered. When she was beside me for years I never realised her importance in my life. Now, at this point in life, I am thrown into the past once again. Now, I am realising what is her value. No, I am realising what she means to me.
If there is no Victoria, there is no Alessandro. Everything is dark in my life without her existence. My heart is beating faster and to God, I only have one prayer, just save my Victoria, even if it cost my life to save her, do it.
Because there is no meaning in my life without her.
As I was standing in my blank state, I heard Antonio’s tone.
I looked up and see her whole family just arrived at the hospital.
“How is Victoria? What happened to my child?” Her mother asked anxiously, looking at me.
I gulped the lump in my throat before speaking, “The doctor said… she might go into pre.ma.ture la.bor and… And her co.ndit.ion is… not good…” I choked in my own words and couldn’t stop myself anymore from breaking before them.
I fell on my knees and covered my head, crying. I have never felt this helpless ever in my life. I felt a touch on my back,
“Alessandro, please calm down. You are her strength, please don’t be like this.” Antonio spoke. He helped me stand up on my feet and helped me sit on the bench in the corridor.
“I… I don’t know…” I am still crying, I just couldn’t stop my tears away. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have silent my phone… I shouldn’t have gone to the meeting… I…” I shook my head, feeling way too angry and helpless.
I want to make Camilla alive from death and then kill her again and again with torture! My limbs are weakening with time and I don’t know how to calm myself down.
Nothing is ringing in my ear, only Victoria’s face and groan in pain that I faced in that dungeon.
Suddenly, the room door of the operation theatre opened and the doctor came out I jumped on my feet and rushed to her. “Doctor, how is my wife?!”
“Mr Devonte, I am sorry to say but her condition is too serious at this point. We need to operate the baby now and…” She paused. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“And what!? Don’t go quiet doctor! What is it!?” I shouted at her.
“You need to calm down, Mr Devonte. At this point, we only could save one person. Either your wife or your child…” Hearing her words, I felt like all my world turned upside down.
I felt like the frond under me just split and I am about to drown in the darkness.
The doctor continued, “At this point, we do hear the mother only, but I know all of you personally and that is why I am asking you, Mr Devonte. Your wife wants to save the child.”
“Oh, Lord!” Her mother gasped and I only stared at the doctor.
“She wants to save the child?” I repeated the words. All my feelings seemed to be gone at the moment. “Why?”
“Mr Devonte, she is the mother. A mother who lost her child once. It’s really hard for her to lose the other child like this… And…”
I seemed to be lost in her words. My head stops processing anymore.
she lost her child once… She lost her child once…
The word kept repeating around my head and the world started spinning around my head.
She lost her child once…
Suddenly, an image of three years ago flashed before my eyes…
FLASHBACK STARTED…
“Why are you groaning? It’s annoying!” I yelled at her.
“I…” She pursed her lips. “I.. was just feeling pain, Aless…”
“Yeah, of course…” I smiled bitterly at her. “You only know how to lie. You are a pathetic Liar, Victoria Blake. In that womb you never had a baby now you are having some trouble because of your own habit, don’t you?” Venom coursed through me. How dare she lied to me?!
“I…” She pursed her lips again. “I was in the hospital, Aless.” She said lowly. “Won’t you ask, why?” She looked up at me with tear-filled eyes.
I want to know. I do… But, I also don’t want to. I loathe this woman for what she did to me. She drugged me. She lied to me about carrying my baby and now? She wants me to care for her?
Oh, hell no! In your dreams only Victoria Blake!
I smirked, “What? Did you eat too much delicacy and then spend the whole night in the hospital? Or who knows if it was a lie or not? What if you were seducing another man, huh?”
A droplet of tears rolled down her eyes. “I wish you knew, Aless.”
“Yeah, I also do wish to never meet you even in my life!” I shouted at her and then walked out of the room.
I don’t believe that liar anymore!
FLASHBACK ENDED…
I don’t know why? Why do I recall that scene but, her eyes her tears, her pain, everything seemed so relatable!
Was she in the hospital because she just had a miscarriage? No… I… I was… Fuck!
I felt so pathetic and Clutched my head right. Suddenly, I felt a heavy shook on me and came back to reality,
“Alessandro! The doctor is asking something! Please answer her!” Antonio rushed me and I watched the doctor in a daze.
“Mr Devonte, I understand your pain. please calm down. What do you want us…”
“No, you don’t!” I yelled at her, didn’t let her finish her word. “You don’t know my pain! I… I was a pathetic husband before!!! Do save my wife, doctor. Do save my wife, please…” I begged her.
I was feeling furious myself. I just turned around and started pinching the wall as much as I could. This pain is not enough to punish me. I was a danm freaking bustard! How could I let her suffer the pain alone?
Why didn’t I believe her before? Why didn’t I take care of her more? Because of me, my wife and child both are suffering!
I don’t know for how long I punched the wall but I was stopped by Antonio and Dominic. I became like a defeated shit and a pathetic man, who doesn’t have any value in this world.
A man like me never deserved someone like Victoria in his life. I am way too lucky to have her in my life!
I…
Suddenly, a nurse rushed out of the Ot.
“Does anyone have (AB-) blood group here? The mother needs the blood immediately, or else…”
And that was the only moment, I lost it. I couldn’t hear any more as darkness consumed the whole me…
