The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

"So that's what happened," I say to Vanessa in conclusion.

She takes a deep breath, running her fingers on the sides of her neck with her arms raised. It just makes me look down at her tiny waist and the curves of her breasts in the sides. "Do you really mean it when you say you're pretending?" she asks, narrowing her eyes at me.

"Yes, I am. The last thing I want is for this to get out. You know that more than anyone else. I also need to make sure that Carmella never finds out that I'm pretending."

She scoffs. "Were you also pretending when you fucked her?"

Her questions hits hard and it makes me look away as I wonder how I should respond.

Though I'm not facing her, I can feel her piercing gaze fixed on me as she anticipates my response.

"Because I don't want to lie to you," I begin, raising my head and looking back at her, "I'll tell you the truth."

"That's what I want." She purses her lips.

"Before I went to see her, I hadn't been with a woman in a long time."

She scoffs while shaking her head. "I can't believe you're saying this to me."

"I told you that I wanted to be honest with you, so listen to me. Because I hadn't been with a woman in a long time, it was easy to give in, especially because I wanted to play along."

She sighs, her gaze softening a little. "Did you also give in when she took those pictures while she was on top of you?"

"No. I was fast asleep by then. She must've spiked my water just so I wouldn't wake up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed that to happen."

She nods, still not looking satisfied.

"Hey, this means nothing to me," I assure her. "You have to believe me."

"Why do you sound like you really owe me an explanation?" She tilts her head.
