Chapter 14 Wake up! please...


    ALESSANDRO POV


    “Hey... Wake up, please!” A desperate tone rang in my head. I opened my eyes only to be greeted by


    darkness.


    I could sense myself but could see nothing.


    Where am I? Thest thing I remember, I was in the Government office for divorce. Victoria was waiting


    for me when I arrived there.


    I only saw coldness and no regret in those green eyes. She turned into a whole different person since


    she left me. She was sarcastic about myte arrival.


    Did she not get it? I don’t want to divorce her! I waste, wilfully, hoping she would change her mind,


    which never happened.

    She was so desperate to get rid of me. Is she so tired of me? Was I that irritating to be with? I wanted


    to ask, but I didn’t.


    When we were sitting before the divorce officer, and he was asking questions, she did not hesitate to


    reply once. She knew what she was doing. It seemed I had never met this Victoria before.


    She was so desperate to leave that she didn’t bother about the divorce price. In other words,


    everything she imed was true; Victoria never mentioned once about my assets.


    I was so mad over everything at myself that I did not wait until after we were officially divorced. I just


    asked out of the ce. Even though it was a huge hall but I was feeling suffocated.


    If I didn’t walk out at that moment, I might have done something I would regretter. For once, I still


    hoped hering after me. Yet, she didn’t.


    I wanted to leave that ce, but I couldn’t and waited for her. When she came out, she was smiling


    happily. And it broke my heart.


    She is so happy in this divorce; then why has everything fallen apart for me? Why can’t I feel happiness


    as she does? For three years, I have avoided her. I never cared for her much and ignored her tears,


    then why can’t I ignore her now? Why does it feel like everything has just ended for me? Why?


    I am so mad. I don’t really know anymore on whom or why? I couldn’t stop myself from being sarcastic.


    We argued, which started with me, though. Then I saw a caring toward her as if it had lost its


    control. Everything disappeared before my eyes, and I didn’t think before jumping in to save her.


    Suddenly I felt like I was flying in the sky, and in the next second, I was thrown to the ground roughly.


    Everything turned ck before my eyes, and I woke up in this dark hole.


    Am I dead? Am I in heaven or hell? Where is Victoria? Is she safe? Oh God, I just hope she is okay.


    “Hey, wake up!” The voice rang in my head again.


    I looked around to find the source. I know this voice. “VICTORIA?” I called for her.


    And suddenly, I smelled burning fuels and smoke as if I was surrounded by fire, Suffocating. And


    suddenly, I was thrown back into the same situation of years ago: ident, fire, and a savior.


    My whole body is paining. The heart is drumming in its cage.


    “Please...” I heard her again and against all odds. Her tone cleared like water.


    “Vi...Victoria... Is that you?” My heart was racing faster, and suddenly I could see a ray of light far away.


    “Victoria? Are you there?” I slowly walked in that direction. I don’t know what awaits me or if Victoria is


    there. I don’t even know if her voice is just my hallucination.


    I followed my instinct and kept walking to that light. The more I got close, the more I could feel the


    bright light, and soon it consumed me whole as my eyes ached at the sudden brightness.


    I blinked slowly and opened my eyes to find all white before me.


    My head is pounding, and my eyes are still hurting for the light. Slowly, I realized the beeping sounds of


    the machine.


    This is... Wait... Am I in the hospital? Am I alive? Victoria? Where is she, then?


    My heart churned tightly when I felt something soft tickling my right hand.


    I tilted my head, and it was her! Victoria is lying beside me! Her head was down on her hands, and she


    was sitting on the stool next to my bed.


    I swear, at this moment, I felt like I am on top of the world. With her by my side, all my worries and


    sorrows were gone. I am not sure when I felt this relieved as I am now after seeing her healthy and


    safe.


    It felt like we were not divorced, and everything was like before. Oh, how I wish that to happen.


    I sighed and lowered my head more to see her beautiful face. She has a face that you would feel


    stunning the more you look at her. Her beauty grows with time, and there is no going back.


    Her brows are furrowed slightly. Bigshes are almost touching her face, and rosy lips are parted.


    I didn’t realize how much I missed her in just a few days.


    For three years, she has been with me. Yeah, I admit I was a bit mad for her lying about her pregnancy


    to marry me. But apart from it, she was the perfect wife someone could wish for.


    For years, she has been insulted in my family, and I never take her side because of that one lie. When


    she decided to walk out of me, I realized my mistakes.


    She proved that she was never greedy for fame, name, or money. She just wanted me beside her, and


    I failed miserably.


    I kept my hand on her head and started caressing her.


    One chance only, and I promise I will make things right this time Victoria...

    VICTORIA POV


    I woke up with a bad dream of losing my unborn child...


    My eyes jerked open, and I breathed relief, realizing it was just a bad dream.


    Rubbing my eyes, I slightly raised my head only to gasp. Alessandro was wide awake and staring at


    me with softness in his eyes.


    I tried to tear my gaze away from his, but something about his icy blue eyes held me captive.


    They were dull but soft. Filled with an emotion I am not used to getting from him.


    “Y...you are awake?”


    He did not reply to me back, yet surprisingly smiled. This smile I had never got before from him. Even if


    he had smiled at me like this only a few days ago, I would have been on my knees for the rest of


    eternity.


    “Help me up, will you?” His weak tone once again made me feel that I had caused his situation


    somewhat.


    So, even though my mind was continuously chanting not to do it, I helped him. The proximity is


    suffocating for me and mixed with his weird behavior. It’s ten times worst!


    “How long have I been asleep?” Alessandro asked after he was settledfortably.


    I stood up, trying to maintain distance from him. “About ten hours.”


    “Are you okay? Did you get injured?” He asked.


    “No.” I shook my head. “Thanks to you.” Yeah, I am grateful and regretting somewhere because I have


    to stay beside him when I only want to avoid this man for life.


    “That’s good,” Alessandro said, “Can you get me some water?”


    I nodded and brought water, then handed it to him. But he didn’t hold it but looked up at me with a slight


    smirk. “I need you to help me drink it.”


    My brows surely closed together at his demand. What does he want?!


    “You have your own hands, Alessandro.” I kindly remind him of the reality.


    Shrugging, he tried to loft his arm and winced in pain before dropping it down again. “You see? I can’t!


    Can you do this for me?”


    After seeing his dramatic gesture, my eyes felt like rolling back in my head. But since it involves the


    man who saved me, I suppose I can make an exception this time.


    So, I picked up the spoon from the tray and tried to feed him with the spoon.


    Taking a spoonful of water, I held it in front of his lips.


    He leaned forward and held my arm to get bnce, well, I thought about that, but he had another n!


    Instead of drinking water, he pulled me down and pressed his lips on mine!


    For a moment, I was stunned. I stared at him in horror like an iceberg. Soon, I regained my conscience


    and pushed him back, releasing me from his grip.


    “What the fuck are...”


    But before my sentence could fall properly, I heard a high-pitched female tone from behind.


    “ALESSANDRO!!!”
