The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 

Dominic 

The moment my father mentions a rat eating the leftovers. I turn around to face the wall as I clench my other fist, close my eyes and almost punch the wall but end up pressing my fist against it to contain my anger. 

I know exactly what Vanessa meant when she said it like that. How dare she go that far and insult my babe! 

Composing myself since my father’s still on the line, and I wouldn’t want him to suspect a thing. I relax my fist, turn around and lean against the wall again. 

“I don’t know where she got that from,” I say while shaking my head. “There are no rats here” 

“Are you just trying to get out of this?” He sounds like he’s in disbelief. “How is it that you’re on a beautiful island with rats in the house? I don’t want my daughter–in–law in such an environment running with rats 

“It’s not what you think.” 

“Is that supposed to make me worry less? You paid a huge sum of money to your friend to be on that island and now this happens? Being the kind hearted person Vanessa is, I know she’s trying not to make a big deal out of it but I don’t like it. You know what? Leave that island. I’ll pay for wherever it is she wants to go.” 

“Father, slow down. Everything’s alright. She’s in good hands” 

Will you protect her from those 

It takes me a moment to respond, Vanessa’s clearly causing trouble for me on purpose, 

I can’t believe I’m even having this conversation with my father As I wonder what I can do, I quickly come up with something to ease his worries. 

“You’re getting all worked up for nothing. I saw no rats here and she didn’t mention anything to me. Everything’s fine.” 

“You’re obviously trying to cover this up but son, I’m warning you right now. You better make sure she’s well taken care of” 

“That’s exactly what I’m doing” 

“You’re clearly not doing a good job with that rat problem!” 

I rub my temples while shaking my head. This is ridiculous and can’t even say that to him. 

“Father, you know how much I care about my wife and I’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe. Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.” 

“Excellent! Now you’re talking. My responsible son is who you are and one day, it’ll work to your advantage.” 

I know he’s hinting at me taking over the family business and it boosts my ego as I imagine myself in his office with the chairman name tag on my desk. 

He loves it when I show great concern for Vanessa. That’s all I need to do and nothing else matters to him 

“I have to go now. There’s a board meeting soon. And son!” 

“Yes, father?” 

“Send me the footage as soon as you can. We’re all eagerly waiting to see you two lovebirds on the island.”

I rub my thumb and index finger along the bridge of my nose. 

“Of course. I’ll send it to you later on, I assure him. 

“Excellent! Enjoy your day” 

“You too.” 

As soon as the call ends, I wrap my hand around my phone so tightly that I might break it. I’m still fuming at what Vanessa said to my father. 

I’ll definitely get back at her for her actions and this time. I’ll make sure to use what I heard last night to my advantage. 

Though I’m still in my white robe, I head over to Vanessa’s room so I can confront her. 

I also can’t stop thinking about how I need to send those pictures and videos to my father, which like he said, everyone will 

love to see. 

While Vanessa and I take all those fake pictures of us enjoying our time together, that’s when I’ll get back at her. 

When I get to her bedroom door, I knock on it a little aggressively, ready to put her in her place as soon as I see her. 

It takes her a while to respond and I wonder if she’s doing this on purpose. She can at least say something, a question or anything. 

1 then hear a door creak from inside and that makes me assume she just came from the bathroom. 

Now that she’s closer, I knock on the door again. 

“Whoever you are, just wait,” she says from inside. 

Is she kidding me right now? N 

No one has ever made me wait before 

When I hear the doorknob twist from inside, I’m ready to lash out at her but as soon as she opens the completely escape me. 

he door, 

words 

She’s in a red tank top that accentuates her bust, some tight jean shorts that cinch at her tiny waist and and accentuate her wide hips. Lastly, her hair’s in a messy bun with a few strands falling on both sides of her face. I hate to admit it, but she looks sexy. 

However, I soon snap out 

“Are you 

of it when she speaks to me with an attrude as she crosses her arms. 

“Are you here to take away something else from me?” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

With a blank face, I step forward and she instantly begins to move backwards, like she’s a little flustered 

For as long as she keeps moving backward, I say nothing to her and she gets more flustered as our eyes lock. 

It’s only when she’s against the wall that I stop moving. Only an ch separates us 

“What the hell were you trying to accomplish by saying that to my father?” I tilt my head. 

She looks away, tucking the loose strands that fall on the side of her face behind her ear. 

I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She shrugs. 

“I see you’re trying to act dumb. How dare you call my girlfriend a rat?” 

“Me!” she asks with a dramatic gasp, placing a hand on her chest 

||| 

Only because of her hand movement, my eyes glance at her perky breasts. However, I soon look away, trying to keep my eyes on her face as I speak to her. 

“I’m asking you and no one else so don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about.” My tone is low but threatening 

“Hmm just a second. When did 1 call Camella a rat?” Her forehead creases as she drops her head to the side. 

“When you called my father.” I glance at her exposed neck now that her head’s dropped to the side. 

But her immediate chuckle brings my gaze back to her face. 

“Did he tell you that I was talking about Carmella?” she asks. 

“If you weren’t talking about her, who were you talking about? clench my jaw. 

She sighs. “I was only talking about a regular rat.” 

“And where is it now! 

“At the moment, I’m afraid 1 have no idea. But the last time I saw it was somewhere in this house. 

I chuckle if disbelief. She’s messing with me right now. Not a problem. I know just how to deal with her and this time, I’ll hit her where it hurts. 

To set up my plan, I switch the subject. 

My father said everyone 

ne wants pictures a 

and videos of us on this island 

“I know. He mentioned it to me when he called.” 

“We’re here for a while but I’ve decided we do this now so I can get it out of the way and focus on important stuff.” 

“Well, I’m ready to go.” 

I glance at her from head to toe then bring my gaze back to her face as I point at her. 

“Let me make something clear to you right now. Whatever’s about to happen out there means nothing to me.” 

She nods and says. “The feeling’s mutual.” 

I can’t help but scoff. Does she seriously think I don’t know the truth? 

“What is it? Did I say something funny?” She furrows her eyebrows. 

Just meet me outside in fifteen minutes.” 

“Fine” She huffs. 

She moves away from the wall by stepping to the side and as 1 m around, my eyes naturally land on her figure. Her curves are so accentuated in her tight shorts that I have a clear view of her ass jiggling. 

It blows my mind that she’s still a virgin. 

“If that’s all for now… She trails off and opens the door wide. 

I shake my head in disbelief at her gesture for me to leave. I’m not even mad this time. I’ll get back at her once we’re outside 

in a few minutes 

Saying nothing more, I head out of her room and she closes the door. 

While I’m in the long hallway, getting closer to my bedroom, my mind drifts back to her outfit. 

But just then, I snap out of it when Carmella shows up and wraps her hands around my arm. 

“Babe,” she says with a pout, resting her chin on my chest and looking up at me “I was looking for you” 

When I observe her for a few seconds, I can tell she’s now completely calm and I’m glad. That was annoying to deal with. 

Irake my fingers through her hair as I say, “I was with Vaneta.” 

“Why?” She narrows her eyes at me as she slightly moves back so my fingers are no longer in contact with her hair. 

“There’s something I need to tell you” 

While I don’t plan on telling her about Vanessa calling her a rat, she needs to know the other part. It’s because it’s the part that really matters, 

“Don’t freak out because if you do, I’m not talking to you for the rest of the whole day.” My tone and expression make it clear that I’m warning her. 

“I can take it. I promise I won’t get mad again” She hugs me tightly. “It sucks when you’re upset with me. So what is it?” 

“It’s time for Vanessa and I to act like a married couple.”
