The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 7

Dominic

The moment my father mentions a rat eating the leftovers. I turn around to face the wall as I clench my other fist, close my eyes and almost punch the wall but end up pressing my fist against it to contain my anger.

I know exactly what Vanessa meant when she said it like that. How dare she go that far and insult my babe!

Composing myself since my father’s still on the line, and I wouldn’t want him to suspect a thing. I relax my fist, turn around and lean against the wall again.

“I don’t know where she got that from,” I say while shaking my head. “There are no rats here”

“Are you just trying to get out of this?” He sounds like he’s in disbelief. “How is it that you’re on a beautiful island with rats in the house? I don’t want my daughter–in–law in such an environment running with rats

“It’s not what you think.”

“Is that supposed to make me worry less? You paid a huge sum of money to your friend to be on that island and now this happens? Being the kind hearted person Vanessa is, I know she’s trying not to make a big deal out of it but I don’t like it. You know what? Leave that island. I’ll pay for wherever it is she wants to go.”

“Father, slow down. Everything’s alright. She’s in good hands”

Will you protect her from those

It takes me a moment to respond, Vanessa’s clearly causing trouble for me on purpose,

I can’t believe I’m even having this conversation with my father As I wonder what I can do, I quickly come up with something to ease his worries.

“You’re getting all worked up for nothing. I saw no rats here and she didn’t mention anything to me. Everything’s fine.”

“You’re obviously trying to cover this up but son, I’m warning you right now. You better make sure she’s well taken care of”

“That’s exactly what I’m doing”

“You’re clearly not doing a good job with that rat problem!”

I rub my temples while shaking my head. This is ridiculous and can’t even say that to him.

“Father, you know how much I care about my wife and I’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe. Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.”

“Excellent! Now you’re talking. My responsible son is who you are and one day, it’ll work to your advantage.”

I know he’s hinting at me taking over the family business and it boosts my ego as I imagine myself in his office with the chairman name tag on my desk.

He loves it when I show great concern for Vanessa. That’s all I need to do and nothing else matters to him

“I have to go now. There’s a board meeting soon. And son!”

“Yes, father?”

“Send me the footage as soon as you can. We’re all eagerly waiting to see you two lovebirds on the island.”
