The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 147

Vanessa

Right near the private jet is not only my father and his nurse, but Dominic's parents, Sophie and Jake, all of them getting their stuff loaded up inside.

As Dominic and I get closer, my mother-in-law is the first to notice me and she waves with excitement. "You're here! We've all been waiting for you!"

I walk even faster to embrace her and as we break the hug, I chuckle with excitement. "What's everyone doing here?"

"I had a funny discussion with your father," my father in-law says, holding out his arms to embrace me. "I realized I needed a vacation for three days, so my wife and I decided to tag along."

"Me too!" Sophie chimes in.

"Same here!" Jake says with enthusiasm.

Everyone seems so excited to be here that it fills my heart with joy.

I look over at my father and he can't stop smiling as he shrugs and says, "I also couldn't believe it when they arrived. Please load this up as well." He looks behind him, talking to his nurse.

I look over at Dominic again as he talks to his father and he seems just as surprised as I am. This is about to get better and unforgettable for all of us.

After the private jet takes off, I sit close to my mother-in-law who wants to have a word with me in private.

She looks over at Dominic and says, "I've observed that my son has changed and in a good way. One thing I can say for sure is that he's happier now. I first noticed this a few weeks ago. It's definitely nothing to do with Project J-22 or everything else he has coming up, which only leaves one person responsible for this change."

She suggestively nods her head at me and I look away, pressing my lips together as I wonder if I really have anything to do with it.

"Whatever it is you've been doing for him, keep going," she encourages me.

I embarrassingly smile, thinking about how the only thing Dominic and I have frequently done is make love.

After arriving at our destination, we all check into a hotel. We all could have easily stayed at one of the Richards hotels, but my father wanted to do something different.

The entire top floor is booked only by us as it has the most exclusive suites.

Dominic and I arrive in our suite and I head straight to the balcony, still unable to believe what's going on right now.

Suddenly, I feel a warm breath on my neck, so I attempt to turn around, but Dominic places his hands right on the railing, trapping my body right where I stand.

"What are you thinking about?" he whispers.

I drop my head to the side, loving the sensation and how he just naturally came to me.

"Thanks for coming with me," I say to him, trying not to arch my back in pleasure.

"No need to thank me. I really wanted to be here and I'm still not over how my entire family is here but you know what? It makes everything much better, doesn't it?"

I look back at him, my lips curving into a smile after he smiles back at me and goes on to talk about my father with so much affection that I soon find myself lost in his eyes.

The conversation with my mother-in-law runs through my mind as I realize she's right about Dominic being different, but I've never assumed it's because of me. It might even be something else.

I end up zoning out for so long that he taps me on the shoulder and says, "Is there something on your mind?"

I nod, then look away. "I'm just thinking about Mia and Frank. She can be crazy times."

He stands beside me. "Frank is even crazier. He told me he wants to see her again and she's up for it."

"I just hope he doesn't fall for my friend because he might get his heart broken."

He firmly shakes his head. "That's where you're wrong. Frank will be the one to break her heart."

I scoff. "We'll see about that."

"I've had my heart broken before and it really hurts." His gaze turns a bit gloomy. "You know who broke my heart with everything that I found out about her. It's something that still hurts."

I smile painfully. "I've had my heart broken, too and not just by Patrick."

"Really? Who else was it?

My eyes widen a little as I realize I wasn't supposed to say that. "Never mind. I don't want to talk about it."

"Whenever you're ready." He nods in understanding.

As we both fall silent, I find myself lost in his gaze once again. If only I could read his mind and find out what's going on with him right now.
