Chapter 9

Vanessa

As soon as I open the door slightly so I can step out into the hallway and speak to Carmella from there, she swings it wide open and invites herself in.

I stumble from the impact of the door swinging open but soon, regain my balance and turn around to face her.

“Couldn’t you wait until I allowed you to come in?”

“Oh, please!” She rolls her eyes at me. “Like I actually need permission from you for anything”

Though I know what she’s here for, I decide to say nothing about it until she does.

“What do you

at do you want?” I cross my arms.

“Listen to me and listen carefully.” She steps forward and glares at me..

Not intimidated at all, I point at my ears and say. Tm all cars.”

“You little b-

“Just tell me what you came here to say so you can get out of my face!” I raise my voice a little, something I rarely do.

She points at me, her long black nail just an inch away from my cheek.

“My boyfriend just told me what you two have to do out there but keep this in mind. It means nothing to him so keep your hands to yourself as much as you can.”

“Will you be watching us? We might need someone to hold the camera.”

“Ugh!” She clenches her fists as she drops her head a little, then chuckles as she straightens up. “You’re about to enjoy this. aren’t you?”

“Not all. I don’t like Dominic”

“Oh, please. He’s a sexy billionaire. Who wouldn’t like my man?

“Me.” I proudly point at myself

“Stop putting on this act because I see right through you. Don’t let the moment outside get to your head. You mean nothing to him so know your place.”

“I definitely know my place here.” I slowly run my hand along my collarbone, the one with my diamond wedding ring. Tm just his wife, nothing much.”

She looks at the ring and grits her teeth as she tries to reach for my finger and take it off

I pull my hand away and get closer to her face as I warn her. “Don’t you dare. This is the part where you also know your place.

She takes a step back and ruffles her hair. “Whatever, keep your stupid ring. It means nothing anyway.”

I chuckle with a nod. “You’re right. It only means that I’m Mrs Richards, not you.”

“Dominic will always be mine.”
