Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro)
Chapter 64 He can't be here

VICTORIA'S POV

I heard Sage's deep tone as I looked out through the window; he was right. We have reached the destination.

Sage opened the car door for me, and I came out carefully, not hurting my baby in the process.

I looked before me; we were standing before a huge yacht in the beach area. The weather today is a bit warmer than on other days, and I liked it.

As I was out of the car, the car started again and went away, while a woman in a formal suit walked toward us with a smile on her face.

"Miss Edwards?" She asked, and I nodded.

"Yes, that's me.".

"Welcome to our love yacht. We are happy for you. Please follow me, ma'am; I will lead you the way."

With a nod, I followed her while my eyes kept roaming the huge yacht. This is not the first time I am watching a luxurious yacht. But, it's a little different feeling I am having now.

I can't exactly tell what it is that makes me so tense, but it feels like my stomach is clenching with a cold fist, and some butterflies are tingling around. The feelings are a bit unruly.

The lady stopped before the door and stretched her hand in front. "Please, get inside, ma'am. The place is all yours for the night. Have a lovely night."

She wished me and stepped aside.

Sage wanted to go inside before me, doing his usual duty of checking if the place was safe, but I stopped him. I don't want to disrespect the honor I have been given, nor do they have any reason to hurt me. This is just a gift from the owner.

Sage stared at me in confusion but stepped aside.

"No need to check; it's fine. You wait here for me," I said.

He seemed hesitant, but he still showed a gesture of acceptance by bowing slightly when I gave him my order. Thankfully, he didn't behave like a big brother and checked the yacht to his satisfaction.

I stepped inside alone, careful not to hurt my baby in the movement. As I walked in, I was greeted by an amazing decoration on the yacht.

In the middle of the deck is a half-rounded sofa, surrounding the table in the middle.

There is a container of champagne and a collection of red roses inside a vase situated on top of the table.

At the edge of the table, five candles were placed. If I am not wrong, they are electric candles. Three of them are big, while the two are small, placed accordingly.

And there are also candles at the edges of the deck, but they ate fragranced; It's mild and refreshing.

Lastly, the mood light shining in the clear night sky with the warm breeze is so appealing.

I swear, this is such a romantic place for any couple. Of course, It would boost my mood, and just that thought was enough to churn up my guilt.

I guess I am ruining an idle date that could be placed. But I am already here, ain't I?

The view of the date is so simple but elegant and catchy.

I walked toward the railing, looking at the open sea. Even after this amazing set-up, I am feeling empty inside.

Those ocean-blue eyes, filled with confusion and sorrow, kept haunting me since I knew how Jayden threw him out of the house. And Frankly, the more I think about it, the more I get displeased by Jayden. I should not feel like this, right? I should be happy that he is gone. I wanted that, after all, but I couldn't.

Now, when I am alone in this place, I feel differently. A part of me really wishes that Alessandro is here, besides our baby and me.

I looked down at my baby bump. My maternity dress does hide the bump, but my pregnancy is much more visible to the world. I have gained weight, and both mama and Maria say that it's the glow of pregnancy.

They also said, I probably have a baby boy in me. Well, I don't know, and honestly, I don't want to know. I want to keep this a surprise and only replace out at birth.

I have heard it's important to have the baby's father beside in pregnancy. I also wish that for myself, yet I can't get it.

I have to be alone all the way. I can't share my mood swings or my baby's movement with its father. Yes, I know I wanted to be alone at first, but I started realizing how it hurts over time.

Maria was right when she said the baby needs both its father and mother.

Sigh...

Even though I know what is right, it seems so far away to me. What happened yesterday has really destroyed lots of things.

Alessandro probably got hurt after being thrown out. Maybe, he had left already for home; who knows?

Did I really overdo it last night, or should I have approached him for a conversation?

I immediately shook my head; of course not! Why should I go back to him? I left him!

But... He didn't know what he was doing. At least, I'm sure he didn't do that intentionally.

Then again, his care turned out deadly, and I wasn't even sure at that moment if that was his care or if he did everything for the baby's sake.

Will he take the baby away from me, or is he planning that now?

NO! I give my mind a terrible shake, throwing the absurd thoughts away from my head.

I won't...

"Penny, for your thoughts, baby?"

My thoughts broke just the moment my ears caught a silky deep tone behind me that clenched my heart so tight as a pair of strong arms wrapped around my baby bump from behind, making me freeze on the spot.

No, I don't believe this! He can't be here when he is gone...
