As Dominic gets in Shane’s face, I’m too stunned to speak, thinking about what he just said. I know I’m drunk right now, but I know what I heard. 

“Dude,” Shane forces a chuckle. “We’re all just here to have a good time.” 

“You can have a good time without touching my wife,” Dominic growls, his voice low and menacing. 

Though I’ve been struggling to keep my eyes open, they widen in surprise. I’ve never seen Dominic so upset, not even when Frank was checking out my lower leg at the hospital. But why is Dominic so upset right now? Is it because the two of them have always been competitive? 

“This isn’t the reunion I was hoping for when Frank invited me,” Shane says. “I thought we could catch up or something.” 

“And yet here you are, touching my wife when she doesn’t want you to.” 

“Don’t be ridiculous. She didn’t say anything, so she had no problem with it. Isn’t that right?” He looks to the side and smirks at me. 

“Just because my wife says nothing doesn’t mean it’s okay to fucking touch her.” 

My heart starts racing as I watch Dominic’s face twist in anger, it’s definitely out of character for him to be so upset and come to my defense. Even when I tell myself he’s just acting, there’s a flutter in my chest and a strong attraction to him that I can’t explain. 

“Babe, stop,” I say to him with a slurred speech in an attempt to intervene. “It’s okay.” 

However, he doesn’t listen to me as he’s too busy glaring at Shane. His demeanor still has this possessiveness that makes faster 

“Party’s over for you. Now get out,” Dominic says harshly to Shane

“is that the way to t 

treat an old friend?” 

“When it comes to my wife, I don’t care who it is” 

Shane scoffs. “What a let down this party turned out to be. Fine, I’m leaving” 

As I process what just happened, the room starts spinn 

spinning and I feel like I can’t keep my eyes open anymore. 

Just as I lean back in my seat and throw my head back, Dominic grabs my arm to pull me up, and the last thing I see before I close my eyes is Carmella watching us from a distance with crossed arms. She looks extremely pissed.

I was obviously putting on a show so the lustful men would stay away from Vanessa, but I just completely snapped when I saw Shane with 

Vanessa 

I still can’t believe he was litre. I got to see that son of a bitch after a while. And he had the nerve to go straight for Vanessa, knowing exactly who she was. He’s always had a thing for married women and goes after them until he fucks tiem. 

Why did Frank even invite him? I’ll have to talk to him tomorrow.

Chapter 44 

Even if Shane has already left, I need to get Vanessa out of here. I’m already staggering from all the alcohol in my system but I have to do this. I won’t allow anyone else to touch her. 

With her eyes shut, it already feels like she’s passed out. 

“We’re leaving,” I say to her, grabbing her arm so I can pull her up.. 

“No, we’re not. I came here alone,” she replies in a slurred speech, 

“I said we’re going home and that’s final.” 

Everyone around looks on and I’m forced to take matters into my own hands. 

I put her out of her seat and she’s barely able to balance in her heels. She almost falls over but I quickly wrap my arm around her waist and the other one on the back of her thighs. It takes her a moment, but she wraps an arm around my neck and places her hand on my chest. 

The bodyguards sprint into action and surround us, a few people already taking pictures. 

As I carry her, one of the most difficult things is to act like I don’t see her exposed thigh accentuated by her slit. After I give in, I glance at it a few times and almost lose my balance since I’m drunk, but one of the bodyguards holds onto my back to keep me upright. 

“I’m fine,” I say to him. “Make sure no one bothers us.” 

Right after I take a step forward, Vanessa says, “Wait.” 

“What is it?” 

“Why don’t I have my purse with me?” She pouts in my chest. 

I look back at our VIP section and spot it in a chair. I guess I’m so quick to get her out of here that I forgot about it. 

One of the bodyguards picks it up and gives it to her. But after she receives it, she extends her hand a few seconds outward. “Someone hold this for me,” she says, her attempt to sound authoritative unsuccessful since her speech gets slower. 

“I thought you said you wanted your purse.” I raise my eyebrows at her. 

“I know what I said. But if I hold my purse, how will I hold onto you?” 

“What?” I’m quite amused. 

“Just take me home.” She snuggles in my chest with a soft groan. It feels like she’s enjoying this a little too much. 

I have no idea where Frank and his ladies are. The same goes for Jake. I guess I’ll talk to them once I’m home. 

The moment we step out of the club, the bodyguards closely come together to create a barrier around the two of us. 

“What’s going on?” ask 

“Carmella is trying to push past us to get through to you,” one of them says. 

Not only am I surprised that this is when I’ve thought of her, also surprised that it’s taken her this long to react. 

I’m so furious with my bodyguards that i grit my teeth

“How dare you block her? Make way for her. In fact, get away from us.” 

But Sir, you’re not able to keep your balance at all times.” 

“Shut the hell up and get away.”

As soon as they step aside and she comes through, I can tell just how much she’s fuming as she glares at Vanessa, who still hasn’t yet opened 

her eyes. 

“What the hell is she doing in your arms?” she asks, walking beside me. 

“Now’s not the time for such questions.” 

“So you’re telling me to just watch?”
