Chapter 60 Don't touch me!
VICTORIA’S POV
I sat on the sofa in a daze. Anyone who sees me right now would think I have been presented with bad
news. Alessandro’s unannounced presence and forced settlement in my home is nothing less than bad
news!
And he did not only stop there, but he immediately walked inside my room along with the suitcase he
carried after declaring his demand to stay.
What the fuck is happening in my life?! Am I going mad, or is he acting insanely? I left my home just to
live in peace, but I don’t seem to get it here too!
Well, the past three months were amazing, but Alessandro appears to be constantly disrupting my
peaceful life!
“Hi... Is he going to stay here? In your room?” Maria gasped, her eyes still wide open because of the
sudden news that walked through the door.
I shrugged, not knowing what to reply. I really don’t want to argue with this man in my life anymore,
especially during my pregnancy.
I don’t want to cause any more trouble for the baby. Though his behavior excites me, I need to calm
down and handle this matter calmly.
Wait... Is he taking advantage of my situation? After all, he heard from the doctor yesterday.
“Oh, my God!” I heard Maria’s excited tone again. “What am I going to answer, master and mistress?
They trusted me with their precious gem!”
I pulled my legs down again from the pillow, standing up with the help of the armrest that was attached
to the couch.
“Let me see.” Saying this, I steadily walked toward my room. I peeked sightly inside and didn’t see him
or his suitcase.
Okay? Where did he disappear?
Thinking, I walked inside this time, only to gasp loudly. “Alessandro!” I couldn’t help but gasp out his
name when my eyes fell on him.
He is inside my walk-in closet, adjusting his clothes there.
He tilted his head back and looked at me with a grin on his face. “Yes, honey?”
Anger once again coursed through me as I rushed there. “Don’t hone me! I am not your hone! And
what the fuck are you doing in my closet? Don’t you know how to respect one’s privacy?”
He appeared slightly displeased, leading me to believe that he might finally feel ashamed and leave.
However, he quickly proved me wrong as he shamelessly grabbed a pair of boxers. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Where do you think to keep them?” He asked and looked around everywhere while I watched him,
stunned on my feet.
“Ah, I see!” He smiled once more and made his way toward the drawer containing my innerwear. He
began storing his innerwear there with a charming grin.
“Let them stay together.” Turning to me, he winked, and I blinked.
Once they were settled, he once again came to his suitcase and started placing his things.
I licked my dry lips and couldn’t really form a word to say to him.
“What are you trying to do, Alessandro?” I asked, feeling a little helpless.
“What are you talking about?” He frowned as if he didn’t know what I was saying! “I am here to care for
my wife and child!”
I felt a cold grip poached my heart as it started racing like a mad ocean. Did he just say my wife and
child? MY CHILD? Since when did he get to know that?!
Did he discover that he is the father of this baby? The thought made my stomach twist. Is he going to
take the child away from me?
“No!” I clutched my stomach as a sense of fear coursed through me.
“Victoria?” His deep concerned tone brought me to reality, and I suddenly realized I was zoning out.
He steps toward me, “are you not feeling well?” His eyes trailed to my belly as he tried to touch me, but
I moved back.
“Don’t touch me!” My tone came out harshly as I glared at him. “And stop doing such nonsense,
Alessandro. My baby and I are happy living alone, so we don’t need anyone,” I snapped at him.
It’s definite that he is mistaken if he believes he can take the baby away from me. I would never let him
succeed with his absurd attempts!
However, there was not a glance of guilt on his face nor any tension. Instead, he smiled with a nod,
accepting my words.
“Well, you are right, you are a very strong woman, so you don’t need anyone but...” He stepped forward
more closely. “But, I need you, Victoria. I can not leave without you or our baby.”
Our baby? Whose baby? This baby belongs to me! I lost a child before and am determined not to lose
this one. I don’t want any business-minded love or care. If I don’t get the love that is pure and from the
heart, I don’t need it!
I didn’t notice I was stepping backward while he was making his way to me until my back hit the hard
wall of the closet.
I gasped, turning back to see what happened, and cursed in my mind; I turned to him and gasped
again.
He is just before me now, only with an inch gap giving us some space to breathe. His hands were
pinned on the wall on both sides of my head as he leaned closer.
The gap was too close that his warm breath fanned my face.
“Wh... what are you doing?” I gulped, staring at his face.
Fuck! He is so ridiculously handsome! And my heart is beating way faster than anyone could imagine!
I awkwardly pushed him back by the chest, yet couldn’t bulge his huge figure away from me.
“Move, Alessandro,” my voice is weak, even though my tone did not convince me! It felt like I don’t
want him to move but stay close!
Do I really want that? The thought appeared in my mind, which I immediately buried in my heart.
His closeness is affecting me like a drug. I absolutely hate it, knowing it is not good for my health, but I
cannot let it go. I want him close to me; I want his arms wrapped around me.
No! Oh, God! What am I even thinking? Didn’t I give up on him? Didn’t I say the last goodbye to him in
America after the sex that night? How can I go weak all over him again?
I am sure all this is because of my pregnancy hormones! I need to control myself!
I know he is here for my status only and the baby. I won’t let him be successful in his vicious plan! I am
Victoria Edwards, and I know how to deal with things!
I was taken aback as my mind paused midway, and my eyes widened upon sensing his touch on my
pregnant belly. He snuggled up against my cheek while gently caressing my stomach.
I felt tears forming in me as I felt Suffocated. The tightness in my heart increased, and I felt like I would
fall to the ground at any time.
“Pl-eas-e Sto-p...” I whispered the words out of me.
His movements stopped as I heard him sigh. Even though he was not moving, he didn’t back away
from me. Instead, he pressed his warm lips on my left cheek and forehead, prepping soft kisses, and
then took a step back.
I felt a sudden rush of cold air hit me, and I am empty now. But I didn’t have time to drool in my
thoughts when his words followed, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything without your consent.”
I gazed up at him alone and was unsure of what to say.
He stared at me for the time being before his lips curved into a sweet smile. “I know I am forcing myself
into your life now, but this situation won’t continue much longer because soon, you will let me stay in
your life willingly.”
“Huh?!” I frowned at his words. “This wo... Ha!” I gasped in the middle of my words as he leaned again,
dropping a kiss on my lips before walking out of the closet.
“Alessandro! What the hell?!” I screamed in frustration.
