The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Vanessa

Not long after Carmella calls me a bitch, as she’s been doing for as long as I can remember, Dominic steps forward and stands right between her and me, towering over me with an arrogant expression as he speaks to her.

“Babe,” he says to her with a smirk.

“Hmm!” She responds and it sounds like she’s smirking, too.

“Eat whatever you want from what’s been served on this table,” he says

She excitedly wraps her arms around him from behind and giggles.

I’m so at a loss for words that I just lightly shake my head at himas I drop my arms

I know I’m only his wife on paper, but how could he stand here before me and take her side so easily?

Is this how the rest of my days will be? Will he always take her side even when she’s the one who’s wrong?

While I don’t care what he does, deep inside my heart, there’s a pang of raw emotion running through me,

There’s a dull throb in my chest and in only a few seconds, it intensifies with every heartbeat and now, my heart aches.

It’s from the realization that he’s chosen a predetermined path when it comes to loyalty.

As I stand before the two of them, with my gaze still fixed on him the pain in my heart almost brings me to tears, which will easily stream down my checks if I let myself cry

I’m so hurt that even my hands tremble as I feel a sense of isolation. But I quickly hide my hands behind my back and ball them into fists to contain my trembling.

I never expected him to be my unwavering support in private, bit this is just too much and so unfair.

Though I want to look away from him and take a step back, my feet are glued in place, just like my gaze on him.

The expression on his face is almost as if he’s daring me to do something about him giving my breakfast to her.

As much as I would love to lash out, I choose not to do so. But if only for now,

No matter how I feel inside, I don’t plan on walking away from this grand table looking defeated, and I’m about to show

both of them.

When Carmella reaches for a piece of bread, she leans forward in my direction, bites into it with her eyes closed, then chews with wide eyes and a smirk as she stares at me to mock me.

Hiding how hurt I am by what he just did, despite Carmella being the one who was wrong, I unclench my fist which no longer trembles, then place a hand on my hip as I stand firm.

“You know what?” I roll my eyes with a scoff. “It’s okay. Your girlfriend can have my leftovers.”

Carmella immediately glares at me and drops the bread, seemingly offended by what I just said to her.
