Dominic

“What about her?” I sit up more, already rubbing my temples with worry.

From the other end of the line, Frank says, “Since she can’t reach you, she’s called me a few times in the last hour but I haven’t picked up any of her calls or replied to the long message she sent

I shake my head with a sigh. “Seriously? I thought something really bad happened.”

“This is definitely serious! I don’t want to deal with your crazy ex–girlfriend, so you better deal with her.”

It seems that the change in my mood has put an end to Vanessa’s annoying chat as she stops texting and chuckling. It’s better this way. Otherwise, it would only annoy me even more.

It hasn’t even been twenty four hours since I ended my relationship with Carmella and she’s already threatening to do something that’ll obviously he a bad look for me, but no. She’s not getting what she wants. I ended our relationship and it needs to stay that way.

“We’re almost at the store,” I say to Vanessa. “People will be watching. You know what to do.”
