Chapter 141 The essence of my strength
Chapter 141 The essence of my strength
ALESSANDRO'S POV...
'I was the one who planned it all.'
That line got stuck in my head. Made me freeze and my world turned upside down as I sat there
dumbfounded.
Everything turned silent only that one line. I lost myself for some time.
"What did you say?" I heard Victoria's low tone. Her hand in mine is stiff, as well as mine. My breath is
turning shallow.
Aunt Giana looked up at us and cried. She cried hard. Crying for what? For her daughter while sitting
here and telling us that she killed our first born who couldn't even be born?
Suddenly, I felt a heavy lump of anger in my throat. All my veins are throbbing.
"I am sorry. I..." She parted her lips but I had enough!
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" I gulped my inner urge to kill her, shaking in anger.
"How dare you!?" I roared, not caring anything at all.
She looked horrified, sitting at the opposite. "Aless, I..." She tried to speak and I don't know what came
over me. I just lost it.
The next thing I knew I was strangling her throat. "How dare you do that!? How fucking dare you!? For
all of you, I misunderstood Victoria for three years! She suffered alone and I wasn't even there for her!
She bear the pain alone and I didn't even know what she is going through! Why!?"
She struggled under me, her face turned red and eyes wide, yet I didn't let go! I won't! I will kill her!
They all made me look hideous! When my Victoria needed me the most I insulted her! The entire time I
thought she is lying! How could they do this to me!? To an innocent girl who suffered for nothing!? My
child who couldn't even be born!
"Aless! Let her go! You will kill her like this!" I heard Arianna's tone, yet I didn't care.
"Aless, please..." Suddenly, I felt a soft touch on my back. When I looked back, those green eyes were
looking at me, soft and pleading.
I felt my body loosen up and slowly, my grip on her throat undid. I let her go, feeling numb, I moved
back and slumped on the sofa again. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"Leave," I said. "Just leave!" I roared at the obnoxious woman. I might let her go now, but there won't
be a second time to it.
I am feeling distressed. I am furious with myself. Wasn't it enough to be a miscarriage? Now, why it has
to be like this!? Why it has to be my family always hurting her!? Why!?
"Aless, please! Don't say this." Giana came to me, on her knees. "Please don't say this. Lisa is my only
daughter." She cried and that is making me annoyed. "I... I only have this one daughter. I know I made
a mistake, I..."
"Mistake?" Airanna stopped her harshly. "That is not a mistake, but a sin, Giana. You are lucky enough
that we are still tolerating you! Didn't you hear what he said? Just leave!"
"Please... I have no elsewhere to go. I made a sin. I... I was scared of a new heir in the family. I was
greedy and now... Now, I am paying for it... My daughter is gone." She cried. "I swear, Lisa didn't know
any of it. I made a sin but Lisa is innocent. Please... save her. I will accept any punishment, just save
her, please..." She begged, still on her knees.
I glared at her when I felt a soft touch on my thigh. When I looked beside me, it was Victoria. Her eyes
are moist and her green eyes are filled with undeniable emotions.
She only nodded at me at this moment I don't know what to say to her. How could she be this kind?
How could she still tolerate the woman who made her suffer inexplicable pain? She is even ready to
help her?
I swear, I can't describe this woman. I don't know with what God made her, but she is someone who
needs to be protected from this cruel world.
I can ignore anything but not her words. Her pleads.
"Why?" I whispered to her.
She wiped the corner of her eyes. "I know what she did, I never can't forgive her but, I also can't see
her daughter suffering when we can help, Aless. Her punishment is destined but Lisa? She wasn't
involved in this. She is your sister too, Aless."
I always knew this but right now, I am realising it once again. Women are so strong. More than we can
Envision. And that woman when promoted to a mother, is beyond all manly powers.
When I am broke, she is standing right beside me like a pillar, being my strength. I don't know how will I
survive without her. She is the essence of my strength. The support that could hold me tight from
falling.
I couldn't deny her and nodded my head. "Fine... I will do it just because of you, Victoria. But..." I glared
at Giana, "This woman needs to face what she did. And I will make sure of it."
I picked up my phone and called my private investigator and told him to find Dominic's whereabouts. It
didn't take him over five minutes to do it. However, as I was guessing, Dominic was alone and there is
no proof against him that he kidnapped Lisa. Now, at this point, if I go and ask him on the basis of
Giana's words, he would definitely deny it.
After all, Dominic holds a good amount of power by himself. So, we called the police. Arianna helped
with it. She belongs to a political background and she holds power.
In her one call, a bunch of pieces of force came to the Manor.
The police came urgently and asked for the details about Lisa and some other information that Giana
answered.
Immediately, police started doing their search operation. After the police were gone, I turned to find
Victoria and she was calming Giana down.
Now, this is the time to wait only ...

AUTHOR'S NOTE ...
Hello, my dear readers, I am so sorry for my slow updates and I am apologising in advance because
maybe in the upcoming few days, I can't update continuously. I have a very traumatising condition
going on in my family for a close relative's death and that is affecting my mental and physical health
both. But, I promise to continue in a few days as soon as I overcome all the misfortunes I am going
through.
I hope you could understand the situation. Please pray for me and my family ...
