The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 29 Dominic At my blunt question, Carmella sits up more and places a hand on her chest, seemingly offended. "And you think that bitch gives a damn about the children?" "Yes, she does and I saw it." "Ugh! Are you taking her side right now?" "I'm just pointing out that she actually does give a damn about those children and you clearly don't. You said it yourself" I get off the couch so I can stand by the window. I'm already getting upset about this.

Just then, she holds onto my hand so she can makesit back down, but I just stand there.

"Babe," she begins, "you know how much I suffered during my marriage. I went through so much abuse: It's only after I met you that I'm learning to open up again. Maybe with time, I'll begin to care enough about those children." ist want to hold her. Everything she's ever toldabout her then husband was horrible.

Her words maketurn around and I just "Chere." I pull her out of her seat.

She rises to her feet and I wrap my ap my arms around her.

Resting her face on my chest, she says, "I'm willing to try." "What?" I look down at her.

"Yeah, one of these days, I could go to the orphanage or something. I don't have to specifically go with you. I could go with that bitch you've left halone, I really want to try."" This is exactly the type of attitude I wanted to see from her. I'm glad she's willing to give this a try.

"That's my girl. Now..." I scoop her up suggestively and she giggles as she kicks her legs around. Tonight's about to get wild.

Vanessa It's 10 in the morning and my phone keeps buzzing with notifications. It's all about yesterday. The most difficult thing is filtering the news and whatever's trending online.

I only want to see everything the press had to say about Penelope, but I keep coming across the moments when Dominic took care He's even been labeled the best husband anyone can ask for of me.

ch to the press, I hid my face in his chest. That clip is everywhere and now I'm a little embarrassed, I hope And the moment he gave that speech to reaction. he believes I was acting, even if that was a genuine Yesterday, I had started to feel like things were changing between us, but when he broughthand toldhe would spend the night with Carmella, it broughtback to reality.

Whatever I was feeling is gone now. It meant nothing, which is why I've decided to start doing whatever I want and not give a damn about him or even consider that he's starting to care about me.

1/3 Now that my leg is no longer filled with so much discomfort, I've cto visit my father and I have a small bag bealde ma.

"How are you feeling, my child?" He leans forward while sitting not too far fromon the living room couch. I'm alright. I give him a smile.

"I didn't call you yesterday because I only saw it not too long before you arrived here." "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about the clip of you in the toy store. I knew how you were feeling," I chuckle softly. "What matters is you still saw it. That moment was so emotional for me. Actually, I brought something with me." As soon as I take out the pink bear and hand it to him, he places his hand over his mouth for a second, clearly affected by it.

"You actually bought it?" His voice trembles with emotion.

"Yes, I did. I'm finally learning to open up. I've avoided this for so long and now I feel like I can be at peace." "This remindsso much of your mother. Had she still been by my side today, she would have had white hair and wrinkles, like me." "Dad, stop." I chuckle, looking up at the ceiling so I don't give the tears a chance to stream down my cheeks. "There's something I didn't tell you." "What is it?" His voice is laced with concern.

"I recently had a nightmare about mom. It was the worst." He reaches for my hand. "Can you tellabout it if it's not too much for you?" "It was the smoment when she died, but I could still see her standing in the corner. I guess I still wanted to see her back on her feet." "Oh my child. Chere." In my father's embrace, I finally break down and rest my head on his shoulder.

"It's alright. Everything will be alright. With Dominic by your side that night, I'm certain he eased your pain."

I instantly wipe my tears at the thoughts running through my mind. Dominic and I don't sleep in the sbed. He doesn't even know about. this Now that I think about it, I have to tell him. I can't imagine him spending twith my father, who would then bring it up and Dominic would be clueless. That would be a dead giveaway that the two of us aren't as close as we seem. your husband this morning?" He breaks the hug.

"And how's you Forcing a smile, I say, "He's great. He had swork to do. That's why I couldn't cwith him." I don't bother to say much as I remind myself how I had gotten carried away by all he did foryesterday.

As my father and I take a walk around the house in which I grew up, he tellsall about the investments el and how things are only getting better for his company. I'm glad this resulted in something great, something he's worked so hard for.

I decide to spend more twith him and we reminisce about a lot of o'm things. We also have a hcooked meal together, which I personally prepare despite having the maidservants 2/3 Chapter 29 Spending twith him was lovely and now I feel I can head home.

It's already late in the afternoon and I wonder what I should do next. Is it shopping? Or maybe pamper myself at a luxurious spa? When I get hand walk through the front door, I spot Dominic on the living room couch, drinking swhiskey. I wasn't expecting to find him home.

"Hey, when did you get back?" I ask as I approach him.
