The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 30

Vanessa

Dominic’s question catches me completely off guard and it takes me a moment to respond. Is he being serious right now?

Ladmit that there was that one time in the car when he told me to watch my tone after I talked back and I was actually a little intimidated, but right now, I find this completely ridiculous and I’m not going to stand for it.

I move closer to where he is but stand on the other side of the table. “Are you seriously asking me that question right now?” My tone is dripping with disbelief.

“Yes, so answer me.” He tilts his head. “Where were you?”

I can’t help but scoff right now. “I don’t remember ever questioning your whereabouts for as long as I’ve known you.”

“It’s not my fault you’ve never asked.”

“As if you would actually tell me.”

“Stop avoiding the real question here. I called you several times but your phone was off. Where were you and who were you with? Was it Frank?”

“What? Don’t be ridiculous. Why would you even come to such a conclusion?”

“Then explain yourself to me.” He crosses his arms.

He clears his throat, drops his crossed arms and looks away. “Fine, then we’re done here.”

My tone is firm as I shake my head. “Let’s get something clear right now, we’re not supposed to meddle in each “No, we’re not done here.” My other’s private lives. That’s what we agreed on. I let you do as you please with Carmella because it’s none of my business. Starting now, you won’t question my whereabouts.”
