Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro)
Chapter 101 He is with us

VICTORIA'S POV...

I sat in my personal jewellery making room on the third floor of the mansion. Again, Laess has set it for me. I mostly don't have to go outside for anything and it's very much convenient for me.

Keeping the design draft before me, I am giving 'Vast Eye' an existence. I kept the red and white theme for the stones.

My design also supports peace and love with its beauty.

For now, it's a pendant and later, I will make a set from it.

It didn't take too long like the design draft but a day only. When you have a clear design in mind it's easier to give it a shape.

After I was done, it was finally the fifteenth day. The last date of handing over the jewellery. Keeping it in the black velvet box with a logo of mine, I sent it to the Art gallery. Tomorrow evening is the exhibition and I am so excited!

***********

Soon the day of the exhibition arrived. My date is my husband of course. We both wore black, matching each other's outfits, created by the famous Jackson D.

Both I and Aless went out. Our limousine is waiting for us and instead of Calvin, Sage is here today along with our bodyguards.

I don't know why, but my husband has set lots of bodyguards around us these days. Mostly, around me. I never asked him the reason though.

Sage hold the car door for us and we went inside. As we settled, the car started moving, the more we moved forward, getting nearer to the Art gallery, the more I am nervous to my feet.

I felt a soft touch on my back. My heart flipped, as I turned to the man beside me. His deep blue eyes are misty in concern.

"Nervous?" He asked, seeing through me.

There is no point in hiding and I nodded. "Yeah, a little bit."

He smiled, pulling me closer. "You shouldn't be. Your design is exquisite, baby." He kissed on top of my head.

"Wh... What if something unwanted happens?" I looked up at him, feeling a little uneasy.

He shook his head, pulling me closer to him. "Nothing will happen. You are over thinking. Everything will be fine."

I leaned against his chest, feeling a little relieved from the stress I am in for the last fifteen days.

Soon, the car pulled before the lavish Art gallery. Adornet Art Gallery.

The car door opened, and I stepped out along with my husband.

Looking around, it felt that almost half of the city has arrived to attend this art exhibition. And why not? The exhibition has been sponsored by one of the biggest investment companies in Europe, which also has a vast investment in the American Market.

Adornet is one of them. The top shareholder is Perficient Global. They recently bought the shares and make it run into the market.

I looked up at the huge Art gallery. The logo 'Adornet Art Gallery' is bold and bright.

One of the biggest exhibitions and my first time as an independent designer on such a big platform.

Once again, I felt my hands turning cold. But, the anxiety could not spread as I felt Alessandro's warm hand on my back, caressing in assurance.

"Take a deep breath. Calm down, sweetheart." I heard his content whisper which eventually helped me to relax.

I plunged my right arm into his left one and looked up at him.

"Ready?" He asked and I nodded firmly.

"Yes," I replied.

"I have to be ready, overcoming my anxiety. This is one of the rare opportunities and I don't want to stay behind.

This one is more special for me because, I wasn't even allowed to enter the competition, but Alessandro helped me to get it. If not for me, then at least for him, I am ready.

Holding his arm, we went inside. Before entering we had to stop before the check-in. This place doesn't have any traditional invitation system, where guards do check the invitations. But has an electronic scanner system. Before entering the hall, we stopped before the guards. They are all suited in black. One guard walked in front of us and scanned us with his eyes. These are the new Al system of Perficient Global. Looked like humans but are robots.

One of the greatest inventions of Perficient Global. Even though P.G. is an investment company, they have a great hand in electronic devices and functions.

So, whenever it's related to P.G. everyone knows that there will be a touch of some new inventions.

Even though P. G. and E Shine have always been against each other, I do adore and appreciate the effort and talent they produce.

After scanning us, their eyes gleamed with a blue Ray of light before he step aside and the other one opened the door for us.

All three of us were about to walk inside when the Al stopped Sage.

"He is with us." Aless showed him a card and they let us walk inside.

I looked up at my husband. "What was that?"

"When you are walking into the function of Perficient Global, either you have to be on their guest list or hold a card to enter the person with you. My card can enter two people and not more than that." He explained and I nodded in understanding.

We walked inside and I swear, the decoration is so lavish and tasteful. I have never really entered Adornet. At this point, I am really regretting my decision for not to enter.

A huge chandelier is hanging from the ceiling, exactly in the middle of the hall. It's so huge that its light is enough to enlighten the whole hall. Yet, there are many l.e.d lights in the decoration process.

All the selected designs are printed on the exhibition wall and before every design draft, there were decorated stands where the designed jewellery is placed.

The moment we entered, my eyes took a glance at all of it and then immediately get busy searching for my own design.

However, instead of my design, my eyes stuck at two figures, I never really expected at this certain place.

Camilla White and Jordan Smith! My two enemies together, right in front of me!

Camilla's eyes met mine and she only smirked before looking away in Jordan's arm. I mean, seriously? Jordan Smith?

This man had a power in fashion industries and everyone knows about his female weakness. Even though I felt angry on this woman always, I also feel sorry for her too.

She is beautiful and knows her job well as a model. But, she always is determined to ruin it for money and fame.

Not only me, but Aless noticed them too.

He frowned. "What is she doing here?" His tone turned cold and fierce stare fell on her.

I cupped his face and kissed his sexy lips to move his attention from them. "It's alright, baby. They have nothing to do with us."

Only then he called down a little and his hold on me tightened more in a possessive manner, that made me secure both mentally and physically.

After he calmed down, I once again watched the odd couple from the corner of my eyes. Surprisingly, Camilla seemed so calm and not interested in Alessandro, unlike other times.

What is happening? Because, she is so unlike her attitude. Does she change? Or, something else? I thought and then shook my head. She is not my concern. Not for tonight atleast. I once again turned my attention to search for my jewellery piece. Don't tell me, I don't get selected!

When I didn't see it anywhere, my anxiety level started increasing. At that moment, I heard,

"Oh, this is such a beautiful design!" I heard an excited tone from a woman.

Immediately, my eyes turned in that direction, and I saw a little skit of people and that voice came from there.

Me and Aless took a little step forward and then there it is, my designed 'Vast Eye'! People are praising it!

I felt so happy and felt Alessandro's firm and possessive hands caressing my waist.

"See, I have told you." He whispered in my ear.
