The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 88

Dominic

It’s been a few hours since I came to the study to go over some important documents I couldn’t finish up earlier today, yet I’m still far from finishing up.

Not only am I still thinking about what made Carmella run away like that, I’m also wondering if she meant it when she mentioned what it would be like if Vanessa was to actually get in an accident. At this point, I shouldn’t take any chances. It’s a good thing Vanessa has bodyguards now.

I never thought a day would ever come when I’d be making sure she’s safe from harm likely to be caused by someone who was so close to my heart.

I’ve had my phone off for quite some time just so I can focus on these documents now I’ve come to accept the fact that I still can’t fully focus. Some of the parts in these documents don’t make sense to me. Maybe I just need a small distraction.

Taking a short break to clear my head, I power on my phone and the first message that pops up is from Frank.

THE

“Hey, are you back home to your wife who was never at the hospital?”

I can actually hear him saying it and it sounds like he’s laughing at me. I guess he’ll never let it go that I rushed to the hospital like that. I had to. I had no other choice. So much depends on Vanessa.

My lips then curve into a smile when another message pops up from Sophie. Just seeing her name already makes me enthusiastic. I open her message and she’s bragging about the fun filled day she had with Vanessa and the scare at the hospital.

As we reply to each other’s messages a few times, I try so hard not to press play on the video at the top but it grabs my attention because it’s right there. I already saw it earlier, right before Frank joined me at the table and I played it over and over again, yet I want to see it again and it’s not even because of Sophie.

Finally giving in, I tell myself it’ll be just once, so I press play and zoom in on Vanessa. I lean back in my seat, stroking my chin as I watch her. The green bikini looks so good and her hard nipples from the temperature of the water poke through the fabric.

Feeling a stir in my groin, I draw my lower lip between my teeth, telling myself to stop doing this.

Suddenly, Vanessa pokes her head inside after opening the door and my phone slips from my hand as I flinch, like I just got caught doing something I shouldn’t.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” I pick up my phone and shove it in my pocket.

“Was my entrance so startling or what?” she says, still only poking her head inside.

“It’s only because you caught me unaware. Next time, you could at least knock.”

“This is the study. Why would I need to knock?”

“I could’ve been doing something private.” I hold up one of the documents on my table, using it as the perfect excuse to hide what I was actually looking at.

With a scoff, she finally walks in, her entire body coming into view and she’s in a short dress clinging to her figure. The fabric is so thin that it looks like it’s part of her skin and it’s way above her thighs.

It seems that she has something to say as she approaches the table and I try to look away, only to end up taking a few glances at her as I subtly lick my lips. It’s only now that I realize I’ve been living a lie. I thought I was doing great and got over this fucking lust, but it’s only because I wasn’t actually home and seeing her like this.

She takes a seat on the other side of the table and it’s the same chair in which I had her when I ate her pussy a few days ago, and she was already wet before I even touched her. Fuck.

“I needed to talk to you,” she says, snapping me out of it. “I called you a few times but I couldn’t reach you.”

“I turned off my phone because there was too much work. What is it?” I fix my pants under the table, trying to keep my breath under control.
