Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 132

Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! He didn’t want to kidnap you

VICTORIA’S POV …

Soon, we entered the apartment David lives. He stays on the fifth floor by Sage’s information. I rang the doorbell and a few seconds later, a young woman around my age opened the door.

She has brown hair and soft brown eyes and a sweet smile. She at first was surprised and then smiled, “Yes?”

“Hi, I am Victoria Edwards. I am here to meet David Barron. Is he home?” I asked.

She blinked once and then nodded. “Yes, he…” But before she could speak, we heard,

“Who is it, Adele?” A male tone appeared. It was David. However, he paused and his jaw almost hit the ground when his eyes dropped on us. “Miss Edwards…”

“Yeah,” His wife smiled Turing to him. “She is looking for you, love.” His wife said before stepping away to let her husband come forward.

My eyes fell on his dark one and I could sense the nervousness that he kept failing to hide. “Ah… Miss Edwards. How can I help you, ma’am? Is everything alright?”

“Well, just here to ask if my brother is fine? I heard that, he faced an accident?” I raised my brow at him and his eyes dimmed a little. Of course, he understood the meaning behind my words.

“Huh? Who faced an accident?” Adele turned to her husband. “Honey, what happened?”

David kept his eyes on me, now alarmed of the situation. He pulled his wife closer and kissed her head. “Nothing happened, baby. She is President Antonio’s sister.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh!” Adele gasped before turning toward me. “I am really sorry. I didn’t know you were President Antonio’s sister. I…”

“It’s alright. I just need to talk a little to your husband. Is that okay?” I asked. She is a sweet lady and very much devoted to her husband surely. I guess, her innocence brings him out of the dark world but how it connects me in all this?

Adele immediately nodded her head. “Oh please, please come inside. I will bring something for you.”

“It’s alright. Just a few minutes if David wants. We will talk outside. David?” I raised my brow at him and he didn’t reply to me, only turned to his wife and informed her that he will be back soon…

*******

I watched the man before me, trying to suppress his fear and nervousness. The man who worked with Mafias for years surely isn’t afraid of me but his family of course. Well, it’s my guess.

Both Sage and John are standing beside him, alert on their toes and their blank mode has activated. Especially, Sage.

I inserted my hands in the pocket and stared at David. “Do you know why you are here now?” I asked and he shook his head. Trying to maintain his cool. “Something you are here for, surely not related to President Antonio.”

I smiled and nodded, “Smart enough, aren’t we? But, your smart mouth is not gonna work with me, David. You also know exactly why I am here. And before you try to play around, let me inform you that, I have proof and without an exact one, I really don’t take any step.”

David was still blank, as those dark eyes stared at me.

“Why, David? Why did you do it?” I asked.

“I… I did it for money.” He replied and I chuckled, knowing he is lying.

“David, I want to know the truth. The exact reason, not this stupid one. You earn a good amount and live a good life with your small and happy family. Your wife is sweet and she doesn’t have too many demands but one thing is that you live a simple life. And your daughter? She is only three years old and a happy child.” I spoke as if I am saying his biodata.

“I really needed money and that is why I did that.” He spoke, lowering his head. Well, he is lying, certainly. “I am sorry ma’am. I did wrong.”

He apologised but his tone doesn’t hold any guilt there. Just a little bit of nervousness. I know the reason he gave me is not the truth at all and that is why he can say it so easily.

“Okay, you needed money and that is why you agreed to Camilla’s proposal?” I asked again and he nodded, still his head lowered.

I stepped a little forward as I whispered, leaning a little toward him, “Does your wife know about your meeting with Manchini?” I asked, tapping on my chin.

Immediately his eyes snapped up at me as his lips parted slightly. Shock is visible on his face. One or two sweat beads appeared on his forehead as he shook his head, “Wh.at are you ta..alking about? Who Manchini?”

I raised my brow at him. “Oh?” And then smiled, folding my hands over my chest. “Listen, David, I am not here to create more dramas. I am here to know the truth only. Why, Manchini asked you to kidnap me?” I asked, feeling a little uncertain while asking this.

I have no idea what could be the connection between me with Manchini. Yet, I decided to investigate it further. Because the only person who could answer is David.

Suddenly, all the lights of his grace were gone and his face darkened. His shoulder slumped as he fell to his knees.

I gasped in silence and both Sage and John also stared at me in surprise.

David shook his head. “My one mistake has brought me down to this situation today.” His tone heaved up. “I should have known that the past never can be erased and no matter how much you ignore it, it would never stop haunting you.”

He rubbed his face, as I watched him carefully. “What do you mean?”

David looked up at me, his eyes are red and dull. “Roberto Manchini is one of the infamous Mafia leaders of Italy. His gang Scorpio has the ugliest reputation and I was one of them once in my life.”

“I left them when Adele came into my life. She showed me the true light in life and brought me out of the darkness. I left the gang and hide away from them and came to America with a new identity. Soon, started working with President Antonio. I thought I left the past behind but, I was wrong…” He sighed.

“He came to my door again, Roberto Manchini. He threatened to take my wife and daughter if I don’t do his work and I had no other choice but to give in, ma’am.”

“Why he wants to kidnap me? I never had any relationship with any Mafias!” I spoke, shocked and somewhat terrified. The uncertain guess started to come forward as the truth!

David shook his head, “he didn’t want to kidnap you.” He denied.

Was I wrong to connect it all together? I thought but in the next second, I felt my world just shake under my feet, when he said the next line,

“He wants to kill you …”
