Chapter 8

Dominic

As soon as I mention that Vanessa and I need to act like a married couple, Carmella instantly drops her hands from my body and takes a step back.

“Seriously? That’s what you wanted to tell me?”

Here we go again, I can tell she’s about to throw a fit. I don’t ever bother to remind her about my warning that I wouldn’t speak to her if she did.

She pouts again, as if thinking for a few seconds.

“Babe, I’m the one who’s supposed to be your wife.”

I know. How I would’ve loved for that to happen as well. You know how many times I’ve said this to you”

“It’s supposed to be me and you on our honeymoon.” She rests her head on my chest.

“Once I get everything I desire from my father, I’ll divorce her and marry you.”

I know you will” She looks up
