Chapter 51

Dominic
I’ve only started working alongside my father in the company and I’ll be taking over in less than two years. To do my best. I’m determined to be up todatewith everything that requires my attention.
Right now, I have important documents to thinkabout, such as different project plans and budgets. But even with all that work on my mind. I can’t stop thinking about what happened with Vanessa last night.
I was certain that I would wake up and I’d put it all behind me, but I was wrong. It’s all still fresh on my mind.
I hope by the time I get to the office, I’ll be focused only on what requires my attention.
Seeing her a few minutes earlier as soon as the elevator opened was the last thing I expected because right at that moment, I could only think about the curves of her breasts.
Considering how drunk she was last night, I already knew she would barely remember anything, and I’m glad she actually doesn’t remember the part of us in her bedroom. Itmakesit easier to be around her.
It also helped thatshedidn’tshow any signs of being awkward around mewhenI ran into her. Otherwise, that wouldhavebeen a dead giveaway that she remembered something which shouldn’t have happened.
Feeling less and less guilty, I lean back in the seat of my car, but only a few seconds later, I tilt my head as I begin to wonder What if she actually remembers certain things but just did a great job of actinglikeshe didn’t?
Even if that’s the case, it’s better than being openly awkward with her. As long as she doesn’t mention it, I won’t either.
I’ve always told myself that she means absolutely nothing to me and I only have eyes for Carmella, but last night, it didn’t even feel that way as I wanted to be all over her. I’m certain it was just the alcohol andnothingelse.
That’s why when I ran into her, I towered over and wondered if I wanted her at that moment, but I didn’t
Had I been sober last night, I would’ve never done what I did.
I admit that I was sober on the night when I had to share a bed with her in my parents‘ house, but that was different because I thought it was Carmella.
Thinking about my babe, I take out my phone and scroll to her phone number. I’ve been trying to call her since the moment I woke up but I can’t seem to get through to her
Im hoping that time will be different. Otherwise, I’m notgoingto tolerate this shit any more.
I dial her number andwait, but once again, her phone is off. I shove my phone in my pocket with a frustrated grunt. What the hell’s going on with her? Issheupset about last night? If she is, then it wouldn’t make sense because when I left with Vanessa, she didn’t seem to care, so why wouldshebe bothered now?
I stillhavetime before I start working,soI head over to her apartment.
The moment I get there, I push open the front door but it’s locked. What the fuck is going on?
I pace in her front yard, mydadsends me a message, wondering why I’m not yet at the house so we can leave together..
Right now, duty calls so have to leave immediately, but I’ll get to the bottom of this afterwork.
My fatherandI spendafew hoursatone of the sites for Project–22 and everything is almost a smooth ride. I try to stay
focused, but a few times, half naked images of my fucking wife flood my mind, including the sounds of her moans and how soft her thighs were when I touched her..
Even with all that,Ikeeppushing on. Maybe it’ll take a little longer to forget
During our lunch break, my father and Iheadto a luxurious restaurant under our management so we can have a meal together.
We have a wholeprivatedining room to ourselves and just as we begin to eat, he chuckles.
“My son, don’t think I haven’t seen anything.”
“What are you talking about!
Tm talking about what happened last evening at the party with Shane
“Oh, you mean one of those clips that have been circulating?”
“Yes, I was actually surprised to see Shane in that video. I can never forget him. You two were always so competitive. I guess he thought he had a chance with Vanessa as well. I’ve heard rumors about him and they seem to be true. You knowwhat? Ti proud of you and how you handled the situation. That’s exactly howyouprotect your woman!”
I’m unable to swallow the food in my mouth so I pause, thinking about what my father has just said to me. Vanessa’s not my woman and she’ll never be. Iadmitthat I lostcontrollast night but what happened was nothing but a mistake.
After lunch, we return to the site until it’s time to leave, but before I can even get into my y car, I receive a phone call from Mike, someone I haven’t spoken to in a while.
“Mike, I say with enthusiasm.
“Hey, man! What’s up?”
“The same old thing just work.”
“Ahh… just as I expected. Is that why Ihaven’theard from you in a while? I hope you still know that the launch is in less than two weeks
“How could I forget when I’m the face of the brand?” I lean against my car.
“It just feels like you did because you never call to find out about any kind of update.”
“You better not be having plans of replacing me,” I say jokingly
“Of course not. Ever since we put up thosebillboardadvertisements with your face, there have been so many pre–orders””
“Andthat’show it should be.”
“Don’t forget to bring your lovely wife with you.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it obvious?She’ll make it even better. It’ll be an amazing marketing strategy and selling point, so don’t forget to bring her with you.”
“Of course.
Even though Mike’s suggested that I bring Vanessa with me, I had already thought of that much earlier. I’ll always need her to attend all important events with me. It seems that’s when I score themostpoints with my father, the latest being last night. with Shane.

Chapter 51
My work for the day is finally over and though I’m meeting Frank, there’s something very important I have to do first. I have to visit Little Warriors Hospital to check on everyone.
With each child I check upon,it’s the same thing. They keep asking me about Vanessa. They all can’t stop thinking about her and how nice she was to them. She’ll have to visit them soon with the toys she promised them.
Today’s been such a strange day as it’s the first time that I haven’t heard from Carmella. I needtoknowwhat’sgoing on with her, so I dial her number once again and this time, it only rings for a few seconds and shepicksup.
“Hey, babe!” she cheerfully says from the other end of the line.
“What the hell’s wrong with your phone?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t say that because I’ve been calling you since morning and your phone’s been off. What the hell is going on with you?” She sighs. “Fine, something happened. Come to my apartment and then we’ll talk about it.”
I’m so eager to know what’s going on with her that I head over there right away. I planned to meet up with Frank right now but it’ll have to wait.
After Larrive, I don’t even knock on the door.I just walk in and find her on the sofa, wearing nothing but a short silky robe with her legs crossed.
“Iknewyou wouldn’t ring the doorbell.” She gets up and places a hand on her hip.
“And why would I do that whenIgave this apartment to you as a gift?” I smirk, pulling her closer and wrapping my arm around her waist. “You definitelyhavesome explaining to do bus before that, come here.”
She giggles as I smash my lips on hers. I even lift her and drop her on the sofa.
As it getsmorepassionate, I get on top of her and take off my jacket.
This is the woman that I love, the one that I want to be with, the only one whomattersto me, and the only one that I should be attracted to.Itry to convince myself of all these things, but it doesn’t even sound like I believe them myself.
I want to take off her thong and bend her over, but I’m burdened with guilt from last night.
She runs her hand down my hard cock and I’m turned on by her but I can’t seem to forget about what I did with Vanessa.Itinstantly kills my desire to fuck her.
I suddenly pullawayfrom her lipsandshe looks up at me with furrowed eyebrows.
“What’s wrong?” she asks, holding onto the side of my face.
I sigh, coming up with a lie as to why I stopped this. “Tm curious about what’s been going on with you.”
“I thought youwantedto wait until we fuck.”
-I did, but I’ve changed mymind.”
“Are you being serious rightnow? I looked this good for you!” She sits upright.
“I know you did, but thisisimportant.” I sit on the other side ofthesofa. “Icamehere in the morning andyouweren’t home. I couldn’t even call you. What’s been going on with you?”

Chapter 51
I pull her closer but she rolls her eyes and seems disappointed. Iknow I’m using what’s going on with her as an excuse, but the truth is I just can’t seem to get myself to do it right now.
“The truth is I’ve just been busy with that company, she says, resting her head on my chest.
“Which company?”
“The one that gave me the wrong products. I’ve been going back and forth with them since yesterday. They agreed to give me a refund but not the full amount.”
“This is why I told you to let me handle it.” I shake myhead
“It’s okay. In the end, I managed to handle it myself. I threatened to post it all over social media, so they agreed to give me back all my money.
Anddid you get it?
“Yeah, I did. I’m sorry my phone’s been off. I was just really stressed about it.”
She’sple
already explained herself to me, but something suddenly bothers me and I narrow my eyesasIask her about it.
“When were you doing all this with them?”
“Since lastnight,” she says.
“And you were still trying to get your money back even this morning?” I sit up more.
She nods.
“Then that means your phone was on, so why couldn’t I reach you?”
