The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Dominic

As Vanessa boldly struts in my direction and the bodyguards leave, my gaze lingers on her. She’s in a strapless satin black dress that hugs her curves. It also has a thigh slit that draws my attention several times.

Standing beside me, Frank moves closer and whispers, “She looks so good! But how is she here? I thought you said she wasn’t feeling well.”

I’m unable to respond to him as I can only look at her

To keep up appearances, I approach her and when I’m close enough, I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her close to my chest.

” didn’t expect to see you here,” I say to her, pretending to kiss her cheek.

She places her hands on my shoulders. “I changed my mind, I’ll be here for an hour or two.”

“But why did you even bother to come? It’s not like you’re going to enjoy yourself here. I left you looking and feeling miserable.”

She slightly pushes me away, then smirks at me as she points at herself. “Dol look miserable to you right now?”

I glance at her figure and the amount of effort she put into her outfit and makeup. I’m clearly able to tell that she doesn’t look miserable at

Looking away from her thick thigh, I say, “You came here on your own, so don’t expect me to babysit you.”

She waves at Frank with a smile while she speaks to me. “I don’t remember saying I needed you for anything. I came here on my own.”

“There she is!” Jake cheers from behind Vanessa, and she instantly turns around and smiles at him.

“I’m so glad you came,” Jake says while hugging her. “My brother told me you didn’t feel well, but you look so damn good!”

I clench my jaw at how his eyes linger on her, and it doesn’t help that she chuckles at that fucking compliment.

“changed my mind when my husband called, and I feel better now.”

“He called you?” Jake seems amused.

“Yeah, he did. He said he was lonely without

So what are you drinking tonight?” Frank asks, glancing at her exposed collarbone.

“I’m being honest, I haven’t had a drink in a long time, she admits. “Maybe I’ll just have a glass of wine.”

Having her so close and looking so seductive reminds me of what happened that night.

At the same time, Carmella instantly comes to mind, so I look over at her table and she’s glaring at me. Why would she do that when she knows that this is absolutely important? Unless she’s only upset that Vanessa showed up whent said she wouldn’t.

As the four of us drink together, Jake brings up something that greatly annoys me.
