The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 105

Vanessa

Holding my breath, I back away from the mirror, widening the distance between Carmella and me.

She takes off her shades with a sneer, mockingly shaking her head

"Took you long enough to figure out that it's me," she says.

The sight of her makes me so uneasy that my shoulders stiffen though I don't show it.

"Have you been following me this whole time?" I ask.

"Don't be ridiculous." She rolls her eyes, placing a hand on her chest. "Why would I want to follow you?"

"You know the answer to that."

"I definitely wasn't following you, bitch. Don't forget where we are. It's a women's conference."

I scoff. "Then why are you dressed like someone else?"

"I just felt like having a change of style."

"Like I'm actually going to believe that."

"Fine." She drops the act, shooting me a glare. "I've been waiting for this moment." Her expression turns sinister as she starts coming towards me. "You have no idea how thrilling it is having you here and there's no one to come between us."

I look over at the door, about to scream for security.

"Don't even dare call for those idiots outside. They did an extremely terrible job at keeping me away from you, but hey, how could they have possibly known that I was the one who was coming into the ladies' room? Anyway, how does it feel fucking the man I love?"

I furrow my eyebrows at the question.

"Don't act so surprised. I know he's been fucking you. And you've been enjoying it, haven't you?"

She lowers her hand in the pocket of her black coat, my eyes widening a little as I don't know what to expect. My first instinct is to tackle her to the ground, but she pauses before she can take out whatever's inside.

"You know what? I was really going to do this, but not anymore," she says.

"What are you talking about?"

"That's not important because I have something even better." She crosses her arms, smirking at me. "This is going to fucking hurt."

Even though I'm glaring at her, the moment is unsettling as I don't know what to expect, especially when she snickers.

Frank and I sit in my car, looking across the street as the actress counts the extra money she received.

"I still can't believe she took those three slaps from your mom," Frank says to me.

"I expected it. That's because I warned her and she was okay with it."

"How could she not be okay with it when she knew she was going to receive more money from you?"

I sigh. "There was a moment where it seemed like my parents and father-in-law would have simultaneous heart attacks while lashing out at her. I guess everyone's emotions were just running high. I'm just glad that everyone and everything is okay for now."

"And this is the part where you thank me again." He proudly fixes his necktie.

"And why should I thank you?"

"Come on. Without me, this wouldn't have happened."

"It was my idea in the first place but you know what? I'm glad I finally put you to good use."

"You're already making it obvious that you just wanted to use me."

"Why else do you think you and I are best friends?" I ask him.

He playfully smacks me on the shoulder and as we both chuckle, I take out my phone.
