Vanessa 

With Dominic’s arms now wrapped around my waist, it takes me a moment to process his quick reaction and when it finally registers that I’m holding onto his veiny arms, I slowly look up at him and our eyes meet. 

“Looks like you’re not able to walk on your own,” he says. 

Seeing him from this angle, looking down at me so dominantly after preventing my fall makes me a little flustered. 

The silence between as I’m unable to speak makes my pounding heart more obvious in my ears. 

I don’t even know what to say to him right now but soon, he speaks once again. 

“Don’t get used to this. He lowers one arm to the back of my thighs 

“What?” 

Without saying a word, he scoops me up bridal style and I gasp quietly, my arm instantly wrapping around his neck as a reflex and the other one resting on his chest. 

As he approaches the front door while facing it, I steal glances at him from his side profile. 

“Open the door,” he instructs one of the bodyguards. 

As soon as the large doors are pushed open, my focus shifts for two reasons. I want to see what the interior looks like because it’s my first time here and I don’t want to make it obvious to anyone that I’m stealing glances at him. 

But on second thought, that’s what everyone around would expect as he’s my husband, everyone except him. 

As soon as he steps foot inside, there’s a line of maid servants and butlers. All of them are elegantly dressed as they stand at ease with their hands behind their backs 

When w 

we get to the lobby, his footsteps echo on the checkered black and white marble floor. 

Because I’ve never been here before, I don’t know what to expect when it comes to where he’ll take me. I don’t even bother to ask as I steal glances at him once again. He doesn’t seem to struggle as he carries me. I can’t help but wonder if I’m a lightweight or he’s just that strong 

With the lobby leading to different directions, including an elevator, my first thought is that we’re going up but instead, he walks over to the living room and places me on the couch. 

As soon as my calf hits against the surface of the couch, I hiss in pain, making him shake his head. 

“You should’ve told me it was that bad,” he says, towering over me 

“I didn’t know it was the case until I stepped out of the car. I guess your massage did nothing.” 

He scoffs. “How ungrateful. I’m never doing this again.” 

You didn’t even have to do it this time.” 

“So you’d fall to the ground and it would somehow get to my parents? Don’t forget that this house is under twenty four hour surveillance. He points around at the cameras. 

When I spot a few of them, I’m so relieved because I won’t have to deal with Carmella or at least in the way that annoys me. With someone watching, she wouldn’t dare come here and do what’s not expected of her.

Chapter 15 

“I guess we’re doing this then,” he says, taking out his phone from his pocket and scrolling 

“What are you doing?” 

“What does it look like?” He shoves a hand in his pocket as the other one presses the phone against his ear. I’m calling our family doctor. 

“There’s no need for that.” 

“Of course there is and don’t let this get to your head. Again, I’m not doing this for you.” 

“I know. There’s no need to remind me.” 

As he speaks to the doctor, he paces right in front of me and even sounds a bit harsh when the doctor says he can’t make it that quickly. 

“I don’t care where you are. Get here right how.” 

As he takes his phone away from his ear and brings it to where his eyes can see it, he presses on the screen hard to end the call. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say he’s a little stressed about this, but why? 

“The doctor should be here in a few minutes. In the meantime, stay right here. It’s not like you can go anywhere else right 

now.” 

“Can you please- 

“No. Ask the butlers or anyone else for what you need. That’s what they’re here for.” 

Just when I was about to thank him for being so kind enough as to carry me in his arms and bring me inside, his asshole side showed up again. 

av once it closes. 

I look on as he approaches the elevator on the other side of the room and only look away 

I’d love to go upstairs and the elevator would be the easiest way, but I can’t let just anyone carry me. I guess I’ll just have to wait here. 

In the meantime, I call for all the staff so they can introduce themselves. I’d love to know each one of them. 

Dominic 

How an 

annoying that I had to carry Vanessa inside. I was certain my massage made a difference but I guess not. 

She better not be getting any ideas about what I did for her. It was only because it was a good look for me. It’s possible that someone among my staff might be reporting to my parents, especially my father 

Maybe that’s far from what the reality is, but I’m better off being as careful as possible. 

Thinking about how I carried Vanessa makes me think about Carmella and just then, I take out my phone again as I look at myself in my bedroom mirror. The master bedroom is all mine Vanessa’s never stepping foot here. 

The travel time difference wasn’t that much between Carmella and I so I need to know how she’s doing. 

“Babe!” she says with enthusiasm as soon as she picks up. 

“Hey, babe. How’s it going?” I look at myself in the mirror as I unbutton my shirt. 

“It would’ve been better if you were here with me.”

Chapter 15 

“I know. I wanted that, too–In fact, I wanted to celebrate the business deal with you” 

“We can always make private arrangements just for the two of us Her tone is flinatiously suggestive 

I smirk. “You know, I plan to spoil you beyond your imagination 

“Really?” 

“Only the best for you. Did your flight arrive?” 

“Yes, it did. I actually wanted to call you thirty minutes from now. There’s a few things I need to do here at the airport before 1 leave 

“In that case, I’ll be coming to pick you up.” 

“You mean it? 

“I’ll personally drive you home and then we can have a good time.” 

“Ooh… like the sound of that. I love you. 

I chuckle. Tlove you too, babe 

After the call ends. I step into the shower and brush my teeth to get rid of the alcoholic smell. Who knows when I’ll have to go to see Penelope) 

It sucks that Vanessa might not be able to make it. This was the perfect opportunity for her to get familiar with the kids. She needs to be my loving and supportive wife in all aspects.. 

Even without that, she did seem like she genuinely wanted to come with me. Or has she been faking it so I can be impressed? I don’t think so. 

As soon as I step out of the shower, my phone rings and when I check the doctor’s here. 

I instruct the two security guards stationed at the entrance to let him in. 

Quickly, I dress up in a different set of clothes and head downsters. I need to know what’s going on with Vanessa 

As the doctor examines her calf, he touches it in certain ways and she’s clearly in discomfort. She almost makes it seem like shell never walk again. It makes me roll my eyes because she just seems dramatic 

“From what I can tell, this isn’t really a muscle pull but it should go away soon,” the doctor says. “Just make sure you’re careful with how you step on this foot and give it some time before you do.” 

“Does that mean I won’t be able to go anywhere for now?” she asks him with a sigh of disappointment. 

I narrow my eyes with wonder when it seems that she actually seems devastated. It’s probably just because she won’t be able to walk as soon as she wants to. 

That’s correct,” the doctor says. “You won’t be able to go anywhere using this leg. That way, you can give this some time.” 

“But how long will this take?” 

“I could be a few hours or even a few days.” 

She sighs loudly and shakes her head. What’s going on with her 

“Is anything the matter?” he asks. 

“I just…this is awful. I was really looking forward to going to the children’s hospital.” 

My eyes widen a little in surprise. 

“You can always go there some other time, the doctor encourages her. 

“You don’t understand. This is different. There’s this little-” 

“Relax.” I chime in, crossing my arms. Tve received no update about Penelope yet,” 

She presses her lips together, as if that just helped case her worries. 

Til leave you two with a set of instructions of what you need to do until her pain goes away” 

After the doctor leaves, I stand right in front of her with crossed arms, trying to study her. 

“What is it?” Her tone’s irritated. 

“Nothing 

I then head upstairs so I can get ready to go and pick up Carmella. I even give her a call to inform her and she’s excited. So 

My work here is done. 

Til leave the rest to the butlers and maidservants. They can look after Vanessa. 

As soon as I’m ready to go, I hear an engine outside so I wonder who it is. 

The moment I look outside my window, my eyes widen in shock at the very familiar car. Why the hell are my parents here?
