The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 13

Vanco

Dominic can be a complete asshole most of the time and even in this case, I guess I shouldn’t have expected any other reaction apart from him telling me to mind my own business.

At a loss for words after I’m told to shut it, I press my lips together as I face the marble floor. I guess I should’ve really kept my mouth shan

I know (11) take a while before we arrive in California, but I don’t want him to embarrass both of us by showing up at the hospital while reeking of alcohol

After what just happened, I don’t think I can keep looking at him while he continues to drink. I know that I’ll only get the urge to once again suggest he stops doing it, despite promising myself to stay out of it.

When I rise to my feet so I can head to the private room, he stops me in my tracks by grabbing onto my wrist.

“Do you actually think we’re going straight to the hospital from here?” he asks, “We’re first going home. We’ll only go to the hospital once I receive confirmation that Penelope’s awake. It could even be in the evening. Until then, don’t you dare play the role of my wife. I can clearly take care of myself. Have I made myself clear?”

My heart aches a little. I really wish I didn’t say anything to him a few seconds ago.

“Whatever you say.” I pull my wrist away then continue in my intended direction.

I want to be as far away from him as possible, so I head to the back of the cabin until I’m in the private stateroom.

Sittingbdown on the plush white bedding, I trail my fingers on the texture as I begin to wonder if this is what’ll keep happening to us.

Will a day ever come when he’ll take my advice!

Had Carmella said it instead, would he have listened to her?

Even if he would’ve continued to drink, I’m certain he would’ve been nice to that he chose to be rude..

At this moment, I even feel like I should start being rude to him as well, but that’s only possible in my head. It’s never been in my nature to be rude to people unless they really deserve it.

To keep myself occupied, I reach for the tablet to resume watching the show from earlier. There’s a few more hours to go until we arrive.
