Chapter 36 It's time...
ALESSANDRO’S POV
‘Are you afraid that your girlfriend will be bullied, Mr. Devonte?’ She asked, stopping me in the middle.
What? Did I say that anywhere in my sentences? If not, then where on earth did she get that idea
from?
Fuck!
Every time I try to make a peaceful conversation with this woman, she has to drag it in the other
direction.
What is the fucking problem?
I didn’t like what happened at the auction. Especially when that son of a bit** put the ring on her finger,
and she accepted that!
At that moment, I wanted to burn everything down and take her with me, not caring what people would
say. But then again, I couldn’t move my feet until I stood up and left the place.
That particular moment has become viral news on the Internet. People could hurt her just because of
this; does she not know?
And there was Camilla too. She could do anything to hurt her because that woman is practically insane
and stubborn.
I sighed, wracking my fingers in my hair,
“I am not worried about Camilla. I am worried that she could create disturbances in your life. That is
why I asked you not to confront her again.”
I said lowly, and she raised a brow at me.
“Oh, really?” Her expression was taut. I know she didn’t believe me.
So, I just brought out the last hope I brought for her. The check of a million dollars.
I pushed it before her.
“I hope you don’t have any more run-ins with Camilla in the future.”
Her expression gave me nothing. She once looked at the check and then picked it up. Hopefully, she is
taking... What the...
My eyes went wide the moment she tore it from the middle. She just destroyed the million dollars
check?
“The way you do things really makes me sick, Alessandro. But, I am angrier at myself that how could I
fall for such a malicious man like you? I was really blind then!”
She stated, stood up, turned around, and left, leaving me alone and behind her with unbelievability and
scraps of paper.
After our divorce, every time we met, she insulted me again and again. I have endured everything
because I know I made a mistake.
I stood against my family because of her and what she just did. She kicked on my kindness.
I should have known better before coming to her with my kindness. She has become so different after
the divorce. Or, who knows, if this is her real face.
What does she think? The billionaires that are roaming around her would take care of her entire life,
huh?
No, they don’t, Victoria.
Does she not understand they would use her for her beauty, and when bored, they would kick her out?
She wants that, doesn’t she? Fine then, do whatever you want. But don’t expect me to come for your
help when that happens!

VICTORIA’S POV
I should have known better before meeting that man! I wasn’t wrong to think of him as an asshole.
Did he offer me money to stay away from Camilla? Is he for real? Does he think I still want his money
when I let go of him just like that?
For three years, he wounded me several times. Still, I have endured everything just with a little hope in
my heart that someday he would understand my love for him.
Yet, it never happened, and I ended it with divorce. I thought this was the step toward the peaceful life I
have always dreamed of, which turned out to be my biggest concern because it’s not. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
My ex-husband started appearing more with double drama in front of me!
His every move just adds more wounds to my already bloodied soul. It is too much to endure.
After leaving him, I promised my family to stay with them, but if things are going like this, soon, I will
have to choose somewhere else to live, away from Alessandro, his family, and his girlfriend, because I
want nothing but my child’s security.
I went inside my car, left the cafe and ordered my driver to take me to the company.
At first, I thought of going back home, but Daniel said he had gone to the office, and I had lists to go
through. So, I am going back to the office.
Walking inside my office, I just sat on my chair when Daniel rushed over, huffing like he did a marathon
to get there.
“What happened?” I frowned.
He drank the water on my desk as I raised my brow at him. This guy is getting bolder and bolder with
time!
Finally, he said, “Reynolds is mobilizing the staff against you! That son of a bit**.”
I shook my head. Seriously? Why do I have to be the one to endure all of this?
Sigh...
“And where is he? What is he saying to the employees?” I asked calmly.
“That you don’t have skills. You only relied on your connections to enter E Shine. You are using two
billionaires at a time! And even trying to seduce your ex-husband!” He stared at me worriedly, “What
should we do now?”
I leaned back, staring into his concerned eyes. So, this is how people work, huh? The level of power is
excessively high! Such a thing could make and shake people. Everyone is trying to use that against
me.
I guess kindness isn't what most people want. If I acted in a harsh manner while exerting power, would
they appreciate it then?
If that is the case, then let’s do it. Let’s show them what power is.
I stood up from my seat.
“Where are you going?” Daniel asked, getting alert.
I turned my gaze to him.
“It’s time...”
“For what?”
“To let the world know who I really am...”
