Chapter 10

In my next life...

VICTORIA POV

Today I attended a business function independently for the first time in my life.

Before, I used to go with Alessandro but not anymore.He is out of my life, and I have become more confident and independent in every way.I’ve learned that love alone isn’t enough to keep a relationship going; admiration and respect are also essential.I started my career in E.Shine.

[G1] Corp with Antonio’s support and attended my first business appearance as his VIP guest.

A bit nervous, but it’s alright.

I have come back to my real self.

No more oiling to others.I even faced my ex-husband and his favorite woman.

Well, you know "who." She even made a scene in public, and I only replied with a smile at her.

To be truthful, I don't really care about them anymore.

When I watched Alessandro with Camilla, I wasn’t that affected much.

And because of her attitude, I felt a little aggrieved for Alessandro.He really chose to be with a woman who did not care about his reputation before the public.

Anyways, it’s his choice.

After Antonio arrived at the spot and sat next to me, it caught lots of eyes; different thoughts here and there.

Well, every eye is present there.I felt an admiring and jealous gaze on me.

But then again, I don’t care.

With my brother next to me, I am safe, which matters to me now.He even submitted the design I made in my starting days.

That was even years ago.

I made that for my first love.Yes, I have a first love, and that was not Alessandro.He died in an accident...

Soon, I was done with the introduction of my design.

After I came down off the stage, Antonio congratulated me.

Though he submitted the design without letting me know, I am happy he did it for me.

And cheers on me; I didn't look for Alessandro for a second.

I have controlled myself well enough.
