descend from the limousine, Carmella charges at my window with clenched fists.
It takes everything in me to stay calm. Since I’m on my way to see the children, I don’t need anyone ruining my mood.
When I step
ep out and close my door, I glance inside to speak to Vanessa
“Stay here and keep your mouth shut.”
She nonchalantly nods and looks down at her phone.
“Are you kidding me right now? Even when I’m right in front of you, you’re still ignoring me?” Carmella yells as she grabs onto the back of my jacket, pulling it so I can face the other direction.
Again it takes everything in me to stay composed, but as soon as I face her, I hold onto her wrist and drag her away from the limousine
“Let me go!” She frantically attempts to pull away. “I said let me go!”
I ignore her demand for just a few more seconds. Once we’re at a distance, I let her go and she crosses her arms with a pout as she faces the other side, her oversized shirt not even well aligned with her shoulders.
“What’s the meaning of this?” I rest my hands on the sides of my waist.
“Do

What other choice did I have?”
Her eyes are wide open and that only makes me notice the dark circles around her eyes. That along with her messy hair makes me wonder if this is really because of me.
My expression is evident of just how much I disapprove of her actions. “You’re not supposed to come here. We talked about this.”
“I know we did, but like I said to you, I had no other choice.”
“And you expect me to talk to you after what you’ve just done here?” I slightly raise my voice at her.
She instantly softens up, dropping her hands and approaching me with a frantic gaze. It’s almost like she hasn’t been sleeping
“Babe, I’m sorry. How many times must I apologize? Isn’t this already enough?”
I’m in disbelief at how she’s talking about this right now.
She grabs one to the lapels of my jacket and I’m so disappointed that I don’t even have the strength in me to move away.
Even if I want to lash out, nothing should ruin my mood.
Then, I remember that I’m right outside my home and should anyone see this, it’ll be a huge scandal.
I hold onto wrists to make her loosen her grip on my lapels, but she holds on tightly. There’s only one way to deal with this situation.
“Babe.” My voice is gentle.
“Hmm?” She smiles a little and instantly lets go.
