The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 92

Vanessa

My father is supposed to return tomorrow, at least that’s what I expected, but as I speak to him over the phone, I’m a lite dis

“You’re seriously not coming back just yet?” I ask, taking out my new heels from the box.

“Not yet, my child,” he says from the other end of the line. “I still have a lot to take care of. In fact, I’ll have to travel to a few counties as this is very important.”

I pout, trying on my heels for a second time ever since I bought them.

“I was really expecting you back here. Are you aware that today is the launch of the cologne?”

“Of course I do and I would’ve loved to be there, but at this point, I’m grabbing every opportunity I can when it comes to my business.”

Taking out the earrings and holding them up to the light, I say, “I understand. We’ll talk later. I need to start getting ready now because I have so much to do.”

“Of course. Have a good evening.”

“Thanks, dad.”

As soon as the call ends, I shake my head, disappointed that he didn’t mention this to me earlier. I guess he knew I’d react this way.

I get in the shower, letting the water soak my hair and I slowly drop my head from left to right, thinking about Dominic. When will he be back? I sent him a message to find out and he said he was on his way but that was two hours ago. He should’ve been home by now.

The last time I spoke to him on the phone was the other day, when he told me not to fuck Patrick. Everytime I think about it, I only find it ridiculous.

Though I still have so much to do before I’m ready, I still feel like we’re running out of time since there’s only three hours left and still no sign of him.

I step out of the shower in a robe, wrapping my hair in a towel for a few seconds before I realize there’s no need since I’ll be using the hair dryer. Just as I’m about to reach for it, he knocks on my door.

“I’m back. Can I come in?” he asks from the other side of the door.

I look at myself, then over at the door, telling him to come in.

as I see him, my heart breaks a little because of what he said to me, but I soon snap out of it when he speaks as he
