The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 16

Vanessa Quinn set down her phone and took a sip of red wine.

The man she had hooked...

Had completely snapped.

Whenever he came over, he usually said very little, handled his business, and left immediately after. He rarely bothered to entertain a conversation.

Once, in the heat of the moment, she had asked if he liked her.

It was just standard pillow talk.

His body had still been buried inside hers, yet he had stared at her with ice in his eyes and said, 'I have a wife. Why would I like you?'

So, what exactly had caused his mental breakdown?

What made him so desperate that he'd throw all caution to the wind and talk dirty with her while his wife listened?

She took a guess...

It had to be his precious, untouchable wife. The aristocratic eldest Vance daughter.

Vanessa had texted him that post-coital selfie a while ago. Had it worked?

Had the perfect wife finally cracked and cheated too?

The rich princess had clearly committed the ultimate sin, triggering the husband's manic need to humiliate her.

What an idiot.

A man with his wealth and status was never going to be tied down to one woman.

To a man like him, mistresses were just employees.

Do your job, provide the emotional service required, and keep your nose out of the boss's personal life.

Smiling over her glass, Vanessa decided that whatever was happening, it was a massive win for her.

This high-and-mighty wife...

Pathetic.

Call her weak, but she had the nerve to cheat.

Call her brave, but she was still sitting there taking the abuse.

Vanessa surveyed her messy living room, thinking about the married billionaire who had just ravaged her there...

Let's see how long you can take it, sweetheart.

The screaming match in the bedroom was loud enough to summon Sienna again.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Julian! It is the middle of the night! What is going on in there?"

Julian pulled back, grabbed his silk robe from the floor, shoved his arms through the sleeves, and tied the belt tight.
