The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 162

Dominic

As soon as we open the door to my father's office, the first people to rush over are my mother and Sophie, including my father-in-law, who's a little slow as he smiles with relief while being assisted by his nurse. "Dad!" Vanessa says to her father with a little strain in her voice.

He chuckles as he crouches down and holds her hands, Sophie and my mother immediately giving them some space.

"I'm glad you're alright, my child."

Sobs suddenly catch my attention and I look over only to find my mother in tears.

"I knew you would be alright but that was quite the scare," she says. "You could've died at the hands of that Carmella!"

Her rage makes me glance at my father, who just sits in his chair with a blank expression and clenched fists.

My mother gets closer to Vanessa and says, "We couldn't get anything out of that evil woman and my son refused to tell us anything until you were awake."

"And she's awake, so you better start talking," my father chimes in from the other side of the room, his glare sending chills down my spine.

Just then, the door swings open and Jake comes in while breathing hard.

"Did I miss it?" he asks.

"You're right on time," my father says to him. "Everyone, sit down."
