Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 148 Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 148 Love is the only magic…

VICTORIA’S POV…

I sat at the edge of the bed as I watched Aless removing his clothes. We just returned from Dominic’s funeral.

It still was like a nightmare for me to recall the yesterday night. Everything was almost ending but it turned upside down with one brave move of Sage.

When he accompanied Aless to Carmella’s House, he lost track of the guards and Aless both. Even the house vanished from his sight. Sage was confused and scared. He did not waste his time and rushed back to the hospital.

I was awake by the time and when he described all of it to me from the beginning, I was sure that the dark witch was none other than Carmella. Alessandro’s deceased mother who was alive actually.

I left the hospital forthwith and explained everything to Surgeon Ronald. Because at this time, he is the one who could help me. Then he summoned Raeven and the rest we all know.

We rescued Lisa and brought her back to her mother that night. Giana was happy and guilty both. As I have said, she could not escape her punishment and the police took her away with a shred of proper evidence and her own confession.

We also decided to consult a psychiatrist for Lisa as she has been traumatised after that cruel kidnap.

And currently, she is staying with us in the Edwards Manor.

But, in all this, one thing happened surprisingly. All of them forgot the magical parts of that night. As if in their memory, it’s only a human deed and everything caused by Dominic who chose to end himself in the end.

No one recalled Carmella or the existence of Calvin but me. Yeah, like that first meeting with Raeven, I did not forget anything. I remembered every single detail of that night.

This is really surprising and confusing to me. Why it is like that? Why I don’t forget things? Does this have any meaning behind it? I don’t really know. And as usual, I could not conclude any answer.

“Penny for your thoughts, Ma’am?” My trance broke with Alessandro’s soft but deep tone beside me.

I turned my head to him and find him sitting just beside me. I blinked and pursed my lips, before shaking my head. “It’s nothing, just random things. What about you? Are you okay, love?” I tried to turn the channel of our conversation.

He smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I am. I have accepted the hard truths of life now. Nothing can break me anymore.” He pinched my nose lightly and chuckled.

And I felt relieved inside. This relaxed Aless is needed so much and I am glad that he forgot the cruellest part of it. I don’t know if it’s destiny or a deliberate move of someone specific, but I am happy with the turn of events.

I leaned on his shoulder and felt his arm wrapped around me, holding me tight in his arms.

“You know, I can overcome everything with you beside me, Victoria. You are the only person who can convert my anxiety into reassurance.”

I smiled hearing him and parted my lips to speak when Alessandro’s phone started ringing. I sat straight as he picked up his phone.

“Advocate Davis is calling.” He frowned.

“Maybe something important. Just pick up the call.” I replied, knowing well that Advocate Davis is their family consultant too.

Aless picked up the call and silently heard him. Then, “Sure, Adv. Davis. Both I and Victoria are in Edwards Manor. You can come… Sure, we’ll be waiting for you.”

After he hung up the call, I stared at him in curiosity. “What happened? What did he say?”

Aless tossed his phone on the bed and shrugged. “He said he wants to meet us. There is something important he needs to tell us. He will be arriving soon.”

I nodded, “Oh, okay.”

***********

Half an hour later…

Both I and Aless were sitting in the living room, on the sofa and Adv. Davis was sitting in the opposite one of ours.

“What is it, Mr Davis? Why do you want to meet us urgently?” Aless asked.

Adv. Davis nodded and opened his black bag before bringing out a file and handing it to Aless.

Aless took it and opened it. I watched him curiously and frowned when his brows started farrowing deeply.

He looked straight at Adv. Davis. “What is this?”

Adv. Davis leaned on the sofa. “Yes, Alessandro. Your brother Dominic Devonte willed his Ninety-five per cent of shares to your name two days ago. So, according to the new will, you hold Ninety-five per cent of Devonte properties and Reywalt Corporation. And the other five per cent belongs to the board members who did not sacrifice it before.”

“He did what?” I gasped and Adv. Davis nodded. “You heard it right, Victoria.”

I took the file from Alessandro’s hands and started flipping the pages to find his words true! I mean why would he do this!? Is he so bent on his revenge!?

“But, why?” Aless whispered, staring at the will.

Adv. Davis shrugged, “It’s still unknown to me. For the last three days, I was out of the city. With the help of my assistant, Dominic did this. I just returned this morning, and when I tried to contact him, I heard his death news. I am sorry for your loss, Alessandro. But I guess, he planned it all along.” He sighed. “I guess, the answer to this question has been buried deep under the ground with him.”

He stood up. “So, my work is done here. I will are my leave.”

I nodded at him and he left as both me and Aless fell into a puzzle. The puzzle that would always remain unsolved…

AUTHOR’S POV…

In the world of wizards and grim creatures, there stood a Palace full of dreams in the middle of the ocean full of mermaids and mermen.

On the third floor of the Palace, which belongs to the king and Queen, a woman with platinum white hair and lavender eyes stood in the huge open area, with a maid beside her.

Her lavender eyes shone in the clear moonlight and the white edges sparkled. Her white hair offered the flavour of divination, watching the reflections of both puzzled Alessandro and Victoria in the round mirror globe.

Suddenly, her concentration broke because of a gasp.

Slowly, she turned to the brunette woman, accompanying her and gave her usual soft smile, “What happened? Do you want to ask something?”

Brunette pursed her lips and silently nodded her head, “Yes, your highness… Umm, you always said that Victoria has magic in herself. But, isn’t she just a mere human? What Magic Magic possibly could have?” She asked the question, that kept pinching her inner sense.

Raeven smiled turning her head to the clear full moon. The red moon has gone, and so has the danger.

“We are created to do magics, unlike humans. But, no matter what we do, our life is evolved around that one thing. The one magic that does not discriminate between creatures. Anyone could earn it and whoever has it, can fight against all odds of this world.”

Brunette blinked. “A magic that doesn’t discriminate? What is that?”

“Love,” Raeven replied. “The magic is called love. The bond and love Victoria has for her family was enough to destroy Carmella’s numerous tries of dark magic on her.”

“Love is the only magic that can erase all the darkness and give a new beginning to lives…”

“Okay,” Brunette said hesitantly. “And this property transfer? Is there any magic into it too?”

Raevne shook her head. “Not my deed anyways. That Advocate was right, the answer was buried deep down with Dominic.”

“Oh!” Brunette rounded her lips and gulped before asking again. “One last question, your highness.”

“Hmm…”

“Why Victoria didn’t forget everything yet? How come she remembered it all, your highness?”

“Everything has its reason to happen…” Saying she looked up at the silver full moon as the corner of her lips curled up into a mysterious smile…
