The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 135

Vanessa

Dominic’s tone already sounds so confrontational that it makes my heart race. Just so I don't let things get too far, I look away and shrug.

"I still don't want to know anything apart from what you've already told me," I say to him.

He scoffs. "This is unbelievable. Think about it, I've been away for a while and so much has happened."

"It doesn't matter. Let’s keep it that way."

"But-"

"I said it doesn't matter."

He smacks his lips. "Aren’t you the least bit concerned about this?"

I clear my throat to hide the tremble in my voice. "What’s there to be concerned about when you already have it sorted out? You two are back together. That’s it."

"But-"

"What's wrong with you?"  I raise my voice. "Why do you want to explain so badly?"

"You know what?" He clenches his jaw along with his fist. "Fuck it!" He whispers in frustration.

He turns to face the door and approaches it with wide steps and heavy breathing. Then, he slams the door loudly and I even flinch as I stand in place with a hand on my chest to feel my racing heart. What was that just now? Why do I feel so tense by all this?

Taking a deep breath, I roughly take off my clothes, angry at myself for raising my voice at him over his reunion with Carmella. It seems it might take more effort than I initially thought not to care. It also doesn't make it any easier that he really wanted to explain things to me. I don't want to know anything else since I don’t know how it’ll affect me. It’s for this reason that it's best he keeps it all to himself, even though he seems like he has a lot to get off his chest.

Just as I'm about to step into the shower, I notice his clothes on the floor near the bed on the other side, along with his shoes, making me sigh deeply as I shake my head. Before I even bend over to pick them up, the door creaks open, making me look in his direction.

"You’re doing this again," I say to him, a little irritated.

He rolls his eyes, walking past me without saying a word as he shuts the bathroom door
