Chapter 86 lady of mine
Chapter 86 lady of mine
ALESSANDRO’S POV
“I have a surprise for you,” I said as she looked up at me with her clear green eyes filled with
amusement.
Although I couldn’t help feeling a twinge of jealousy when I saw Dominic on his knees so close to her,
the love I saw in her eyes was enough to push those feelings aside.
In my mind, I knew there was nothing wrong going on between them. Still, the possessive and
domineering side of me wanted to punch him and take this lady in my arms over and over again before
his eyes so he could know whom she belonged to now.
However, I suppressed that wild beast and only stared at them until she ran to me and jumped in my
arms, making my anger melt away.
I dropped a lingering kiss on her forehead and again looked into those eyes only watching me, filled
with innocence.
“I told Grandma about your pregnancy. She was so happy and asked me to bring you home for dinner.
She wants to see you, Victoria.” I said to her and watched her eyes go wide. Her reaction made me
chuckle, and I kissed the tip of her nose.
Despite my efforts to distance myself from the family, I couldn’t bring myself to ignore Grandma,
especially now that I was going to be a father. I want her to know so she can stop thinking about me
and the family line.
Victoria pouted a little as her cheeks turned coral pink in shyness.
“Why did you tell her?”
I could not help but chuckle at her cuteness. My lady is the perfect combination of cuteness and
sexiness.
I cupped her face, making her look up at me.
“Don’t be shy, baby. You will become our baby’s mom very soon. Why are you shy now? You are not
shy when moaning under me, asking me to give you...”
Victoria’s eyes widened, and she immediately covered my mouth with her hands and slightly tilted her
head, eyeing me sharply and reminding me that Dominic was still here, watching us and listening at
some point.
Did she think I had forgotten his presence? Oh, how innocent my wife is.
I am clearly aware of his presence, and I said aloud those words intentionally, no doubt.
Sometimes, I display gentlemanly behavior, but at other times, I can act in a manner that is less than
gentle and more focused on my selfish interests.
I am not comfortable with how he was getting close to my wife or his presence in her office when I was
away. He might be my brother, but I don’t care about anything when it comes to my woman. It does not
matter if he is my brother. But I can not let my wife know that, can I?
I pressed my lips onto the center of her palm, then grinned as I withdrew my mouth from it. “Shall we,
Mrs. Devonte?”
She blushed but did not accept defeat and raised her brow at me. “Not yet, Mr. Devonte. You have to
marry me first to call me that.” She slightly pouted her lips.
I leaned down to her, nuzzling on her face, inhaling that light sweet scent she has. “Wanna go to the
marriage registration office? It’s open now.”
Victoria chuckled, playfully punching my chest. “You have become too naughty, Mr. Devonte. Your three
months haven’t ended yet.”
I raised my brows as she narrowed her eyes at me, challenging me to speak further and then said,
“Now, let’s go home. Grandma must be waiting.”
I dropped another kiss on her forehead and nodded. Then I looked up at my brother as if I just
remembered his presence.
“Oh, Dominic, would you like to have dinner with us? Grandma doesn’t know you are back yet. I am
sure she will be happy to see you.” I asked casually.
Honestly, my invitation was not heartfelt. For some reason, I am reluctant to have him join us tonight.
Maybe, my jealousy is wailing up. Who knows?
Yet, I have to ask him at least once so my wife doesn’t think too much about it.
“Yeah, of course.” Dominic smiled, catching me off guard a bit.
I did not expect him to agree today. Damn! Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“I want to see Grandma too. I just don’t know if she will be happy to see me.” Dominic said with a smile.
But... I’m uncertain if it’s my jealousy prompting these thoughts, but I perceived a hint of bitterness in
his smile when Grandma was mentioned, suggesting that he may not be entirely happy. But it’s not
possible, right?
I guess I am doing it wrong.
I smiled and shook my head, “Grandma will surely be happy. She loved you the most since we were
young.” I said, recalling our childhood together. I really mean my words. She used to love Dominic the
most and was the saddest when he died five years ago.
Oh, my mistake. He did not die but disappeared.
“Is that so?” Dominic’s brow raised as he watched me with a sneer.
Peculiar Dominic. He used to smirk like that on every topic. Guess he didn’t change much in these
years.
“Okay, then come along.” I stopped bothering my mind with his thoughts and instead took hold of
Victoria’s hand, walking out of the office with her.
As we walked, I held her by the waist and brought her closer while kissing her cheek.
“I have only been gone a few days, and you have rekindled your first love, huh?” I said, smirking down
at my wife.
Even though I was jealous as fuck, that is gone now.
Victoria laughed, “Don’t talk nonsense! I did not.” She tilted her head.
But, the jealousy started appearing in me again when I recalled the scene I witnessed while entering
her office.
Immediately, my mood sank. I know I am being paranoid, and Victoria doesn’t have any intention like
that, but what if Dominic does?
After all, they used to be in a relationship, and Victoria was his first love, just like mine. What if he
wants her back? What if he tries to take her away from me?
“If I hadn’t been here today, I think he would have tried to do something to you,” I said honestly.
Victoria paused and glared at me. “You really have a nasty mind,” she whispered.
Upon hearing her words that appeared to be in defense of her first love, my mind, which was already
consumed with jealousy, became overtaken by possessive anger.
“Is it my mind nasty? Or do you still have feelings for him?” My words came out a little harsh at her.
That stiffened her, and Fuck! I am a real arshole!
Victoria’s eyes widened at first, and then they turned angry.
“Alessandro, if you keep acting like this, I will go home by myself right now!”
No! Shit! I hastily went close to her and held her hands.
“Baby, I am sorry! It’s just... Well, Victoria Edwards, you are mine only, and I won’t let any other man
get you from me. Whenever I see anyone near you, I lose it. I am sorry, baby. Please...”
I tried to give the most soulful puppy eyes, and she only frowned but did not pull her hands away from
me.
“You better remember your words, Mr. Devonte.” She said seriously, taking a step forward. She
grabbed me by the collar and pulled me down to meet her adorably perfect green gaze, “Do you
understand?”
Her eyes narrowed, and I nodded, looking deep into her eyes. I raised my first three fingers. “Yes,
ma’am. Understood.”
With a mischievous glint in her eye, she pressed her lips together, trying to hold back her smile. But her
efforts were in vain, and a giggle escaped her lips as she pulled me closer. Suddenly, she leaned in
and planted a soft, playful peck on my lips, sending a shiver down my spine. And just as quickly as it
began, she released me, leaving me wanting more.
She held my hand and marched forward, “Now, come on! I am hungry!”
With a little laugh, I followed her steps.

AUTHOUR'S POV...
In the little jealousy and doubts, that are fading with time, Victoria and Alessandro, are only engrossed
in themselves.
None of them looked back for once and that's where they made a very big mistake. If they did, they
would have seen the fierce stare and cunning plottings that are growing up with time and lack of
awareness...
