The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 11 Dominic "Rabe?" Carmella yells from the other end of the line and it sounds like she's furning.

It's so unexpected that I rise to my feet and rub my temples. She's not supposed to be out there during the day.

"Why do you have Vanessa's phone!" I'm unable to hide my surprise.

"Does it matter why I have it? And why are you calling her?" "Giveback my phone!" Vanessa's yelling chimes in from the background.

I'm not even able to ask how things ended up that way because there's a series of heavy grunting from both of them and what sounds like a struggle. Then, the call ends abruptly.

Not wanting things to escalate between the two of them, I leave my phone and rush outside. The house is so big that despite being as fast as my legs can carry me, it takesa while.

When I coutside. I spot them from a distance. Carmella's holding up her hand with Vanessa's phone, which she's trying to reach for I shake my head as I rush over there before it can get messy between them. My father would killif he were to spot even a single scratch on Vanessa.

Carmella mischievously laughs as she jumps everytVanessa tries to reach for her phone. I can tell that Vanessa's holding back so she doesn't get physical. She even seesbut that doesn't stop her from trying to get her phone.

As I get closer, Carmella doesn't even noticesince she's facing the other side, When I stand right behind her, despite her standing on her tippy toes to keep Vanessa's phone, I easily grab onto her wrists and she gets a little shorter as she places her feet flat on the ground and looks back at me.

"What do you think you're doing?" I'm so annoyed by Carmella's conduct that my tone is low and a little threatening.

"Babe, she was she was-" "Give the phone back to Vanessa.

"But-" "Now." She scoffs as she gives it back to Vanessa. I don't even want to know how the phone ended up with Carmella. As my eyes dart between the two of them, they linger on Vanessa because I've never seen her so upset. "Next time, stay away from my y stuff!" Vanessa warns her before she storms off.

"Babe, did you see that? This bitch is so..." She trails off when she looks up atand findsstaring down at her with crossed arms and a blank face. "What was the meaning of that?" I ask, "Look, her phone was ringing and I couldn't help it since it was left here. All I did was check who was calling" Chapter 11 "Why?" "I was curious" She shrugs. "When I saw your name, I just had to pick up. But why were you calling her?" "Do you really want to askquestions right now?" She lowers her gaze and fiddles with her fingers. Tm I'm sorry" By the looks of it, Vanessa didn't even get the chance to mention the way I kissed her and touched her. That's good enough for me.

Despite Carmella's apology, I still find this mess annoying.

"Get back inside the house. You know you're not supposed to be but here." "I just "Now" "Fine!" She storms off, heading straight back to the house.

Though I should follow behind her right away, now's a good tto talk to Vanessa, so I head in the sdirection she headed in when she stormed off under.

It doesn't take long to find her since her red tank top is quite vibrant as compared to the coconut tree she's sitting How foolish of her to do that. I'd be in so much trouble if one of those fell on her head and something bad happened i Vanessa I can't believe I was so close to losing my temper and slapping Carmella across the face. She went too far this time.

It was also my mistake for just leaving my phone on the sand. But how was I supposed to know she'd coutside She's not supposed to do that Thinking about her mockery as she preventedfrom getting my phone back from her infuriatesright now. My heart's still racing and I feel a little hot. I need to calm down from this The way she turned obedient when Dominic showed up crosses my mind. I've never seen him like that before. He was so dominant. Why does it matter? Whatever, I'm glad I got my phone back.

But why was he calling me? Before I can even begin to list the possible reasons, a floral blue and white shirt catches my attention from the other side and I look over, then look away with an eye roll.

What does he want now? Is he here to warnto stay away from his girlfriend? But now that I think about it, he didn't take any sides this time.

Still, it doesn't matter. It might've only been the moment itself and nothing much.

The closer he gets, the more I face the other side. After everything that happened earlier when we kissed, I still can't stop thinking about it.

"If you keep looking the other way, you'll end up hurting that neck of yours and then my father will scoldfor not taking care of his precious daughter-in-law," he says mockingly.

Chapter 11 "What do you want 1 look straight ahead so can I avoid looking in his direction, but he blocks the view when he towers over The He's so tall that I have to look up at him.

"I know you didn't tell Carmella about the type of kiss we shared" he says. "I want things that way so keep your mouth shut," "Fine. I wasn't planning on saying anything to her about it anyway. There's nothing to show off after all. And why did you call me?" "To tell you to keep your mouth shut." I scoff. "Why am I not surprised?" I wish I could be on this island without these two around. It would be a little scary being here alone, but at least I wouldn't have to deal with them.

"There's something else we need to discuss. He crouches down right in front ofand his muscular thighs in his shorts flex hard.

I look away and tuck my wet hair behind my ear. "What is it this time?" "You know about the Little Warriors Hospital." "Of course I do. You've toldabout it several times and I always check out the website." You do?" He furrows his eyebrows at me. "Why?" Tve gotten so used to checking for updates on the welfare of the children, the most recent being about Penelope." It takes him a while to speak as he sighs and faces the ground, makingwonder what's going on in his head.

"That's actually what I wanted to talk about." He finally looks up need to see Penelope and as my fucking wife, you'll have to be there with me." Offended, I shake my head at him, but two can play that gso I nod and say, "Fine, whatever my fucking husband says." "Don't get smart with me." He warns me, pointing atwith a gare that actually intimidates me.

"You're the one who can never refer toas just your wife.”

"That doesn't mean you get to do the same. Make this the last tyou ever do that. Now, about Penelope. I want to see her as soon as possible so we're cutting this honeymoon short." "What?"

"You heard me. I really do want to see her but I'm also using this as an opportunity to leave this place m sponer. Staying here and not even being with my girlfriend outside sucks. I'm sure my father will understand because he cares about the hospital,

I'm a little disappointed so I slouch.

As much as I would've loved to stay longer, I don't mind leaving so soon if 1 it means 1 get to be away from Carmella. There's no way she's coming to live with us in our home. X CKK-SBCr/GS2P
