The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

Vanessa 

As soon as I open the door slightly so I can step out into the hallway and speak to Carmella from there, she swings it wide open and invites herself in.

I stumble from the impact of the door swinging open but soon, regain my balance and turn around to face her. 

“Couldn’t you wait until I allowed you to come in?” 

“Oh, please!” She rolls her eyes at me. “Like I actually need permission from you for anything” 

Though I know what she’s here for, I decide to say nothing about it until she does. 

“What do you 

at do you want?” I cross my arms. 

“Listen to me and listen carefully.” She steps forward and glares at me.. 

Not intimidated at all, I point at my ears and say. Tm all cars.” 

“You little b- 

“Just tell me what you came here to say so you can get out of my face!” I raise my voice a little, something I rarely do. 

She points at me, her long black nail just an inch away from my cheek. 

“My boyfriend just told me what you two have to do out there but keep this in mind. It means nothing to him so keep your hands to yourself as much as you can.” 

“Will you be watching us? We might need someone to hold the camera.” 

“Ugh!” She clenches her fists as she drops her head a little, then chuckles as she straightens up. “You’re about to enjoy this. aren’t you?” 

“Not all. I don’t like Dominic” 

“Oh, please. He’s a sexy billionaire. Who wouldn’t like my man? 

“Me.” I proudly point at myself 

“Stop putting on this act because I see right through you. Don’t let the moment outside get to your head. You mean nothing to him so know your place.” 

“I definitely know my place here.” I slowly run my hand along my collarbone, the one with my diamond wedding ring. Tm just his wife, nothing much.” 

She looks at the ring and grits her teeth as she tries to reach for my finger and take it off 

I pull my hand away and get closer to her face as I warn her. “Don’t you dare. This is the part where you also know your place. 

She takes a step back and ruffles her hair. “Whatever, keep your stupid ring. It means nothing anyway.” 

I chuckle with a nod. “You’re right. It only means that I’m Mrs Richards, not you.” 

“Dominic will always be mine.”

Chapter 9 

“When did I say I want him? 

“You’re so infuriating 

“Is that all?” 

“Bitch!” 

*TII take that as a yes. Now please leave.” I point at the open door 

Ill leave when I feel-” 

“Leave before I throw you out. If you want to find out whether I can do it or not, I dare you to stay put” 

When I give it a second thought, I assume she still wants to talk about something else I expected. 

“Fine, I already made it clear that you weren’t the rat.” 

“What are you talking about?” She furrows her eyebrows. 

“Oh, I see. It’s only now I realize that she was unaware. 

“What rat!” she asks. 

“It’s nothing” I shake my head as I reach for my phone to leave. 

I guess I should’ve kept my mouth shut because now, she follow me into the hallway as I head downstairs. 

“What the hell is this rat thing!” she yells, pulling my arm and I stop in my tracks to look at her. 

“A rat ate the leftovers. That’s all. 

“What?” 

It seems she’s so slow that she fails to make sense of it, so I face forward and make my way to the stairs. 

Dominic 

I’m already downstairs, waiting for Vanessa to show up but it’s taking a while. It’s obviously because Carmella went over there. 

Now I feel like going up there just to see what’s going on between those two. 

But just when I begin to go up the stairs, Vanessa makes her way down and seeing her from that angle makes me stop in my tracks. 

Not long after I just stare at her, I hear Carmella screaming from behind. 

“Don’t just walk away from me! What rat?” 

At Carmella’s question, I close my eyes and shake my head. I planned not to tell her about this. However, Vanessa brought it up. It was obviously to get on her nerves. I should’ve instructed her to keep her mouth shut. 

As Vanessa walks past me, she doesn’t even bother to look at me. 

Just when I turn my head so I can look at her go down the stairs, pulling force from Carmella’s makes me look up at her instead.

Chapter 9 

“Babe, that bitch said something about a rat eating the leftovers and that it wasn’t me. What does that mean?” 

Though I’m surprised, I blankly stare at her for a few seconds. While she’s beautiful and sexy, she’s not the brightest person in the world. 

In this case, I’m guessing it’s for the best. 

Now I want to get back at Vanessa even more and this is the morbent. 

I gently stroke Carmella’s check with the back of my hand and say. “It’s nothing. She’s just messing with you.” 

“But she said that- 

“Babe, just let it go. Okay!” 

She sighs heavily as she nods. “Fine. Hurry up and come back to me. 

I’ll definitely be back soon.” I kiss her on the lips, then head down the stairs. 

I reach for the camera and equipment, then head for the door. 

As soon as I push it open, I find Vanessa waiting for me while facing the sea. But it’s the view of her figure catches my attention. She obviously wants me to look at her curvaceous body. 

“Let’s go.” I say as I walk past her. 

It’s my first morning on this island and seeing it in daylight now makes it even more beautiful. 

from the back! 

The gentle waves crashing make me look at the sea as it stretches out endlessly and reflects the morning sky 

When I look to my left, the coconut trees stand tall and proud with clusters of coconuts hanging from them. 

My next thought is to look to the right for a similar view but when I do, I barely look at anything else. Vanessa has my full attention. That red color of her tank top draws me in. 

She doesn’t even notice me watching her since she’s so focused on looking at the sea. 

Because she stands before me. I can’t help but stare at the side profile of her entire body. The narrowest part of her waist from the side looks so deep, and then her butt curves outward. This is exactly what she wants me to see. 

When it seems she’s about to look in my direction, I look away and focus on the equipment I have with me. 

“These pictures and videos might mean nothing to me, but I still want them to look great. I say to her as I set up the camera 

“I don’t care,” she says. “Anything’s fine with me.”
