The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Vanessa

Holding my breath, I back away from the mirror, widening the distance between Carmella and me.

She takes off her shades with a sneer, mockingly shaking her head

"Took you long enough to figure out that it's me," she says.

The sight of her makes me so uneasy that my shoulders stiffen though I don't show it.

"Have you been following me this whole time?" I ask.

"Don't be ridiculous." She rolls her eyes, placing a hand on her chest. "Why would I want to follow you?"

"You know the answer to that."

"I definitely wasn't following you, bitch. Don't forget where we are. It's a women's conference."

I scoff. "Then why are you dressed like someone else?"

"I just felt like having a change of style."

"Like I'm actually going to believe that."

"Fine." She drops the act, shooting me a glare. "I've been waiting for this moment." Her expression turns sinister as she starts coming towards me. "You have no idea how thrilling it is having you here and there's no one to come between us."

I look over at the door, about to scream for security.

"Don't even dare call for those idiots outside. They did an extremely terrible job at keeping me away from you, but hey, how could they have possibly known that I was the one who was coming into the ladies' room? Anyway, how does it feel fucking the man I love?"

I furrow my eyebrows at the question.

"Don't act so surprised. I know he's been fucking you. And you've been enjoying it, haven't you?"

She lowers her hand in the pocket of her black coat, my eyes widening a little as I don't know what to expect. My first instinct is to tackle her to the ground, but she pauses before she can take out whatever's inside.

"You know what? I was really going to do this, but not anymore," she says.
