As soon as I mention that Vanessa and I need to act like a married couple, Carmella instantly drops her hands from my body and takes a step back.

“Seriously? That’s what you wanted to tell me?”

Here we go again, I can tell she’s about to throw a fit. I don’t ever bother to remind her about my warning that I wouldn’t speak to her if she did.

“You know what’ll happen to me should the paparazzi helicopter show up here. Imagine they see you instead of Vanessa Right now, everyone knows this island belongs to me and Vanessa. This time, you’re gonna have to let it be

She pouts again, as if thinking for a few seconds.

“Babe, I’m the one who’s supposed to be your wife.”

I know. How I would’ve loved for that to happen as well. You know how many times I’ve said this to you”

“It’s supposed to be me and you on our honeymoon.” She rests her head on my chest.

“Once I get everything I desire from my father, I’ll divorce her and marry you.”

I know you will” She looks up

sup at me. “There’s no way you’ll spend the rest of your life with that bitch.”

I nod as I gently kiss her forehead.

Though I’m surprised, I’m glad that this went better than expected. I strongly believe it’s only because she knew I’d give her no attention and I meant it
