Chapter 47 What if...
Chapter 47 What if...
ALESSANDRO’S POV
Leaning against my office chair, I went through every memory I had with Victoria. Her moves, actions,
words, and calmness always showed her classy upbringing, but we were a fool never to realize that.
Everyone marked her as a gold digger when she entered my life. I never understood her care and love
and kept giving her kindness a name.
Now, I don’t know how to make things right when I think about everything. Many things have happened
between us since she started working as my assistant, including the night three years ago when she
was charged with drugging me, her fake pregnancy, our marriage, and even things that happened as
recently as last night. Everything seems a blessing to my life which I have destroyed with my own
hands!
I have chosen to trust Camilla’s words over hers, but what happened now? Everything turned into a big
lie that can not be changed.
Victoria has never drugged me this time and I have let the past go long ago. Even that time She has
never attempted to harm me, only loved me; it was Camilla all this while. Camilla has caused both
Victoria and me pain and has deceived my family.
Now, I even doubt her words that saved me three years ago. I always was, and now I just wanted proof
against her. Only one...
A thought crossed my mind, making me sit straight. When I wedded Victoria three years ago, she
informed me that she was pregnant, which was the primary motivation behind our marriage. But later, I
found out that she lied to marry me.
What if... No!
I immediately called for Calvin, and he entered my office a few seconds later.
“Yes, sir?”
“Three years ago, Victoria claimed she was pregnant. Find out if she was really pregnant,” I ordered.
He stared at me for some time in confusion and then nodded without question.
“What about the photo from the accident three years ago?”
“About the photo, I am still searching for it. No clues yet.”
“Keep trying. I need the result soon, Calvin. You don’t have too much time for this.” I’m growing more
impatient and irritated with this situation every day. With a nod, Calvin walked out of the office. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Soon after, my phone began to ring, and with just one glance, I immediately recognized the caller. It’s
grandma.
She kept calling me this morning and couldn’t reach me as my phone was out of battery. Despite my
phone being fully charged, I continued to ignore her calls, which were so frequent that she almost
broke the record.
She even called Calvin, and I strictly asked him not to transfer her calls to me. Right now, I am not in
the mood to talk with anyone in my family.
I know why she is reaching out to me. The reason is Victoria Edwards. The news has shaken those
who tried to go against her and blame her in every way. The one who was known by my wife or ex-wife
now gets to know by the heiress of Edwards.
However, I don’t care about her identity. No matter who she is—Victoria Blake or Edwards—she is
mine, and I want her alone.
Perhaps grandma may want to discuss Camilla, and it wouldn’t be unexpected if she did. Grandma
tends to view Camilla as a saint and is more inclined to pardon her faults, unlike Victoria. They are so
biased.
Soon, with another ring, the vibration stopped. It was a matter of time before grandma appeared in the
office or maybe my home alone. However, my focus now is not on anything but bringing Victoria back
at any cost. I have made a proper plan for this.

A day later...
I dressed in my custom-made black suit with a matching tie and shoes. I back-brushed my hair and
looked in the mirror. Looking perfect. I suppressed my excitement and composed myself like a
gentleman before leaving my room. As I descended the stairs, Sophia, the chief maid, halted and
scrutinized my appearance.
I arched my brow at her as she smiled. “You seem to be in a happy mood, young master?”
I tried my heart and soul to suppress that gloating excitement, but I couldn’t. Sophia’s hawk eyes didn’t
let it slip away.
I decided not to lie and nodded. “I am going to make everything right... Once again.” After saying this, I
departed, leaving her confused.
Don’t worry, Sophia. All your confusion will go away once you see your favorite mistress!
I didn’t have any breakfast even. My excitement is too high to let me stay in content peace. There is no
way I am feeling hungry before everything is settled down.
Soon, I settled in my car and gave the location to the driver. Half an hour later, exhausted from NYC’s
traffic jam, I finally reached my destination. E Shine Jewelry.
I went inside the expensive jewelry shop and asked for the custom-made ring I had ordered yesterday
before going home. I need it to complete my plan today.
The staffs were professional, and I didn’t have to wait longer before getting the ring. I entered and
asked the driver to go to the E Shine Company without a second thought.
Once again, with the long traffic jam of NYC and my overwhelmed excitement, I finally reached my
destination. I exited the car and looked up at the huge building, standing proudly in the middle with E
Shine written in bold and stylishly.
Inhaling a long deep breath, I stepped inside the company and directly walked to the reception area,
ignoring all the curious, lusty and jealous gazes on me.
I am Alessandro Devonte and I am used to it. I am sure the sense of accomplishment would be fulfilled
with the only beautiful woman beside me.
The receptionist smiled at me, suppressing her curious gaze. “How may I help you, sir?”
“I want to meet Victoria Edwards,” I replied, and her smile faded a little as her confusion increased
slightly.
“Umm... But sir, Miss Edwards is not in the company anymore.” She replied.
