The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Dominic

Putting aside what just happened in Vanessa’s bedroom with Carmella, Vanessa and I are currently in an awkward place, at least on my end.

That’s why before I even got home, I had spoken to my babe so she could move in and stay with me in this house for a few days. I felt that being alone with Vanessa wouldn’t be good for me

There was that morning at the table when we had breakfast together for the first time while sitting far apart. I was still bothered by what had happened between us while on her bed.

I had actually made efforts to move past it, but what made it difficult was when James showed me that sexy clip and asked if I was attracted to her. I could’ve easily just said no to him, but I said nothing at all in response. That has made me hate myself a little.

I thought having Carmella stay here for a while would clear my mind. I could’ve easily just stayed with her at her apartment, or just avoided Vanessa as much as possible since we rarely see each other while in the house. However, that’s not enough. Even while I was away from Vanessa for three days, it wasn’t enough. I don’t want to feel this way about her.

Carmella was also excited to come here and stay with me. She saw it as the perfect opportunity to remind Vanessa that I’m her man, which I’m looking forward to.

But all that drive I once had to see Vanessa miserable and in tears is really gone now. I still don’t mind making one or two harsh remarks, but I just don’t have it in me to be as I was before. Maybe it’s because of all she’s been doing for the children at the hospital, and all she’s yet to do. Maybe it’s also because of her own sorrow, which I witnessed and comforted her. I don’t know.

Right now, Carmella’s still waiting for my response as to why I’m not who I was before, and it takes me a moment to come up with something.

“The fact that you can’t even answer me speaks volumes,” she says, tapping her foot with a glare.

“Speaks volumes of what?” I ask, finally snapping out of it..

“You’ve really gone soft.”

“Bullshit.”

Then how do you explain the sudden change?”

“Look, it’s not sudden. I just have more important things going on right now, okay? I don’t have time for anything I’d consider less important.”

“Less important?” Her eyes blaze with fury. “Is that what you call putting that b… that thing in her place! So what’s next, huh? Are you going to make me apologize to her for what I did?

“No. Sending you outside was enough for you to learn your lesson.”

“You’ve never done such a thing to me before.” She pouts.

“That’s because 1–didn’t have to. Don’t make me do that ever again, alright?”

“Whatever.” She looks away
