VICTORIA'S POV...
"Is Leo asleep, Aless?" I asked my husband, who was swinging our son in his arms lightly.
Without removing his eyes from him, he nodded. "Yeah." His brows furrowed as he hold him in his arms
so cautiously.
Almost a week has passed and I have only seen a caring and lovable husband and a father in Aless.
These days, he didn't have time to rest, while taking care of us. but, he never let out a single sigh of his
mouth.
Even though there are lots of people in the house, Aless was always on his toes. He even, transferred
his office to home, so that none of us face any trouble and he is always beside us.
Leo is a lucky child to have a father like Aless.
Soon, he kept Leo on his little cot and came to the bed. He kissed the side of my head before pulling
me in his arms and kissing my head. And soon, we drifted to a comfortable silence.
My eyes dropped to his hand. His left wrist was hugged by that vintage watch. It's been a week since
we arrived at the hospital, but I didn't get time to ask him about this.
I tilted my head a little, getting his view. "Aless, can I ask you a question?" I asked.
He again kissed my head. "Hmm..." He hummed.
I couldn't help but caress the watch slowly. "It was you that night, wasn't it?" I finally let the question
out. "Four years ago, it was you whom I saved, right?"
He remained silent for a second as I felt his grip tighten on me. "Yes, baby. It was you who saved me."
He took a pause before adding, "And for years, I kept tolerating that vicious woman!" His tone sounded
slightly furious recalling Camilla.
I am sure, if he had a chance, he would have killed her again and again. But, she is dead now.
I caressed his chest comfortingly, "Hey, it's alright. It's in the past now and she is gone too. Let's not
recall it anymore. I am just glad that, I could save you that night. And now, you are mine." I smiled,
thinking about it.
I heard him chuckle lightly, "Yeah... I love you." he confessed. Well, he does that every day now.
Soon, I let him free and sat straight. Aless pulled his laptop onto his lap and started working. I didn't
disturb him because he already gives us enough time and work is important too.
I also pulled my laptop onto my lap and turned my concentration on my laptop and get busy with work.
Suddenly, something came to my mind as I called for Aless.
However, he didn't respond.
"What happened, Aless? Why are you not talking?" I asked and still he didn't reply. Frowning, I turned
my gaze beside only to find Alessandro staring at his laptop screen. His brows farrowing deeply and
arms folded on his chest.
I watched the screen, following his gaze. Only a chart table was open there which I am not aware of. At
this point, he seemed under a deep stress. Because he is beside me. I am talking to him and he is not
responding!
He seemed so close but too far away from me.
I touched his arm softly and called for him again, "Alessandro?"
As if he just realised my call and jerked out from his whatever situation he was in. He turned to me
worriedly.
"What happened!? What is wrong? Do you need something? Is Leo awake?" He asked hastily.
I stopped him by holding his hand tightly. "Aless, calm down. Nothing happened." I assured him and
then he only stopped, watching me in a daze.
"Everything is fine?" He asked, trying to digest the situation.
"Yeah, it is," I said softly, feeling worried for my fiancee.
I watched him carefully. His deep blue eyes are kind of dull. Dark circles under his eyes are visible. the
stubbles are not in good shape. Alessandro is in lots of stress recently and I didn't notice!
I gasped inwardly. Well, my own condition was not that good and while keeping my son in check, I
became a little careless toward my husband. I felt guilty inside when, he is being careful toward both of
us, I didn't notice his tension.
"Victoria? What's wrong?" He asked.
I shook my head, suppressing my worry.
"It's been a long time and we didn't see Grandma. Are you alright with it, Aless?" I asked, "Moreover,
she also hasn't met you since we returned from the hospital. How is she?"
Aless smiled. "Don't worry about her. She is fine. Every day, we are talking to her, aren't we? She is
happy and always sends blessings for us."
I nodded and then pursed my lips. If the problem is not with Grandma, then is it related to his work?
All of a sudden I recalled the day when I was kidnapped. That morning, I went to Dominic's office and
heard his conversation about being the Reywalt. Is it something related to that?
I don't know, but that look in those eyes of him, it was dangerous. Even after that day, I didn't see
Dominic anywhere. He is a family, right? The elder brother of Aless and Leo's uncle.
For once, nor he came or called to ask about us. If he called, Aless would have informed me, because
after he got calls from people he never forgot me to mention any names.
My lips parted slightly, I want to ask about Dominic. But then, I stopped and changed the question.
"Is there any difficulty in the company lately?" I asked suppressing the information that I know about
Dominic. "I see that you look very stressed. What happened, Aless? Share with me..."
Aless smiled only, which did not reach his eyes and replied "Don't worry, I can handle it." He kissed my
temple and once again turned his gaze to the laptop and started doing his work.
I didn't ask any more questions. He does not want to share and transfer his tension to me. But, I
already know a little of it. And somehow, I am guessing something big would happen.
I just hope, everything goes well and Aless manage it all... Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

ALESSANDRO'S POV...
I lied... It hurts but I needed to lie to my wife. For her own good.
Because of me, she suffered a lot in the past and even now too. Camilla attacked her because of me
and after a long period of mess, I finally get my wife and newborn child in my life.
I don't want to lose them, giving Victoria any more stress.
Reywalt is indeed going through lots of troubles recently and this time, it was caused by my dear
brother.
I should have known it before that his coming back is not a piece of good news for the family. He didn't
come to get his family back but snatched it all away. At least, his behaviour is saying that way.
Even though he is trying to get the company, I still doubt this is all he wants. I turned beside me at my
sleeping wife. Yeah... I do fear that he also wants her back which I won't ever accept.
If he wants the company only and comes to me for it, I, Alessandro Devonte, would hive away all the
assets in my name to him. But, if he dares to touch even a hair of my Victoria, I will burn him for real
this time!
I only saw him the day Victoria was kidnapped. After I came to my senses, I didn't see him at all. Nor
he even tried to contact me to learn about Victoria. And that's what made my doubts more real.
Not only that, but I also need to think about lots of things. Maybe, Victoria didn't remember much of that
day and I want to keep it that way too. I do remember what Camilla said,
There was a time when she hinted at someone saying, 'Do you think he will let you go?' What did she
mean by those words? Whom she pointed to with that 'he?'
Was it Dominic? Or someone else?
I also can't forget the point, where Dominic shoots Camilla to death. Wasn't he the one who saved her
from jail? And then he is the one to shoot her? What sort of relationship did they share?
Also, I need to find out what happened four years ago to Victoria. It's clear now that she had a
miscarriage. But, at that time it was spread that she lied to marry me. Why did it happen? No, who is
the one who spread the news?
Was it really an accident? Or...
I am working on it all, with the help of my assistant, Calvin. Maybe Camilla is not alive now, But, I feel
the danger is still around us and I need to protect my family from it at all cost...
