The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 101

Vanessa

Leading the way, I bring Dominic all the way to the top of the staircase where no one can hear us speak. Holding onto the railing, I look around one last time, then back at him as he furrows his eyebrows in anticipation.

"Well? Will you tell me what's going on now?"

"I just received a call from Shane," I say to him.

"What? Where did he get your number? Did you give it to him the last time you were at the club?"

"I don't remember. I was drunk, okay?"

"Did you at least ask him where he got it when you spoke to him?"

"I didn't even get the chance to do that because he went straight to what he wants from me."

"And what's that?"

"He wants $50,000."

He chuckles in this belief. "What the fuck? There's no way he did that after I paid him yesterday."

"Well, he definitely did it. He said what he has is not enough and he's now demanding more from me."

"Fuck!" he whispers, walking away from me.

Quickly, I hold onto his wrist, pulling him back as I say, "Wait!"

He stops in his tracks and looks down at my hand on his wrist and as soon as I realize that I'm touching him, I instantly pull back my hand.

"I don't know what you're planning to do, but don't." I say to him. "I'll handle this."

"No. You need to let me handle this. It's the only way he's going to stop doing this shit. He must be trying to get back at me for humiliating him yesterday by making him pick up the money from the ground." "Shane clearly called me, not you. That's why I want to handle this situation on my own."
