The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 26

Frank’s been my best friend for so many years now. The two of us have had crazy fun together with crazy parties filled with beautiful women from all over the world.

Things changed for me when I met Carmella.

However, Frank’s still living the same kind of life with multiple women at his disposal.

No matter what happens, he knows Carmella’s off limits, which is why I never catch him staring at her lustfully. If he does, it’s probably when I’m not around.

But how dare the check out Vanessa when I’m right here? Is it because she means nothing to me? It doesn’t matter how I feel about her. I need to talk to him about this, but it’ll have to wait.

“There you are!” Frank says from behind, making Vanessa look back at him.

“I was wondering when I’d see you around here.” She enthusiastically smiles at him.

“Here I am now.” He enthusiastically gestures with his hands while smiling at her and I sigh with disbelief.

I don’t think they’ve ever had this level of interaction before, or have they and I just don’t know about it?

Even when he’s close enough, I can see his eyes feasting on her.

“How’s your leg?” he asks, standing beside her.

“It’s okay now,” she replies with a smile.

“I can see that,” he says, looking down at her foot but his eyes travel up her curves.

Even i ift want to say something right now, I still need to wait.

Just then, he mentions that the camera crew is ready and everyone can go in and see Penelope. I’ve been waiting for this for so long. I’ve even checked the shopping bag that I have with me just to make sure all the toys are in there. I hope she likes them,

When we go upstairs, I walk hand in hand with Vanessa and Frank follows right behind us, I glance at him a few times and just as I thought, he’s constantly checking her out. Though he doesn’t make it too obvious, I can still see it.

It’ll have to be today that I talk to him about this. He needs to stay away from her.

Once we get to Penelope’s room, I’m the first to walk in and there she is, looking so small on that big bed and connected to so many tubes, but she’s alive and she’ll be alright. She still has so much to live for. She’s only eleven.
