 Chapter 62

 Vanessa

 It’s been over six hours since Dominic left and he hasn’t yet returned home. Now, it’s already 7 in the evening-

 After I told him what happened at the orphanage, he immediately stormed out of the house without saying a word to me and drove off by himself.

 I don’t know what he’s been up to since then, but it felt like lie believed me. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but it felt that way. There was a look in his eyes I had never seen before.

 And since he left, I haven’t run into Carme. It’s probably because for the most part, I’ve been in my own bedroom, keeping myself busy on myptop.

 Just as I step out of the shower, I hear a car outside and my first thought is that Dominic’s back. But the moment I look outside the window, my eyes widen at the car that has just pulled up. My mother–inw’s here.

 I’m actually surprised she came. I was talking to her on the phone not too long ago after she said she couldn’t reach Dominic and I couldn’t either. I didn’t know she was already on her way here.

 And I’ve just realized she doesn’t know that Carme’s staying here for now, Well, so what if she finds out? Dominic’s the only one to me for this. Didn’t he think of the possibility that his parents or siblings woulde over and see her?

 I

 Whatever the case is, I have to go downstairs and wee her.

 As I head to the elevator, I remind myself that my mother–inw won’t even see Carme’s since she’s in her bedroom.

 But the moment the elevator opens, my jaw drops as I look at the scene in the living room. My mother–inw is ring at Carme, who’s standing just a few feet away with her head low as she’s being questioned.

 This isn’t what I expected. Why’s Carme even down here in the first ce? Now I’ll have toe up with a believable exnation as to why she’s here

 “I asked you a question. What are you doing here?” My mother–inw asks Carme, her tone harsh.

 “Vanessa invited me, Carme replies, forcing a smile as she raises her head.

 “And you shamelessly epted the invitation?” She spots me and instantly calls out to me. “There you are. Her voice is less harsh, but she still maintains her re..

 “Mother, I didn’t know you wereing over,” I nervously say to her as I join the two of them and Carme scowls at me.

 “I had a little time to spare and thought I’de over, and this is what I find?” she asks, pointing at Carme.

 Forcing another smile, Carme says. “Mother-”

 “Hold it right there. What right do you have to address me in such a manner? Make it thest time you ever do that. I better not find you the next time Ie here. Now get out of my sight

 Carme awkwardly nods, facing the direction of the elevator. “Excuse me.”

 In silence, my mother–inw res at her and only pays attention to me once the elevator doors close.

 Vanessa, why are you allowing this woman to be in this house, right where your husband is? Why would you even bring her into your home, knowing the history that they share?”

 “But mother-

 Chapter 62

 ‘I don’t want to hear it. She waves her finger dismissively. “How could you be so careless? The one thing that’s never made sense to me is

 your friendship, but I don’t want her in this house

 As she goes on to list down all the reasons she doesn’t like Carme and how irresponsible it is of me to have her in my home, I hang my head low, wishing I could tell her the actual truth. And I can tell just how upset she is by all this. She’s never used this harsh tone with me before.

 “Anyway, I think I’ve said enough,” she says, taking a deep breath to calm down. Im sorry, my dear. I didn’t mean to raise my voice at you, but I meant everything I just said about her”

 “I understand.” I smile at her.

 “I was talking to your father on my way here. Is he alright?” she asks, changing the topic.

 “Yes, he is. Why do you ask?”

 “I must’ve been thinking too much. Don’t mind me.”

 “My father’s just pretty stressed out with all the work.”

 “I guess that exins it. Now, where could my son be since we’re both unable to reach him?”

 “I’m sure he’s with Frank or something

 “Well, I guess I’ll see him some other time. He’s the other one I have to talk to.”

 Just by the way she res at the floor, I know she’s talking about Carme.

 “Won’t you stay for dinner?” I ask.

 She chuckles. “I have some important things to take care of. I’ll see you at my daughter’s <bunch.”N?velDrama.Org (C) content.

 After she leaves, I head up to my bedroom but before I can even open the door, Carme speaks from behind me.

 “Hold it right there.”

 I roll my eyes as I turn to face her. Maybe I shouldn’t give her even a second of my time, but I’m curious about what she has to say. Whatever the case is, I’m able to handle myself around her.

 “So this was your big n to drive me out of this house?” She sneers.

 “What are you talking about?”

 “Don’t you dare y dumb! You called that woman toe here so she could see me.”

 “That woman?” My eyes widen in surprise.

 “Ugh! Call her whatever you want, I don’t care right now. You know she doesn’t like me so you used that to your advantage. I see what you’re doing here. You want mepletely out of the way now that you’re going to be fucking my man!”

 “What?”

 Fm actually caught by surprise that Dominic told her. He didn’t even mention it to me earlier. I’m guessing it’s because he was too focused on my description of her at the orphanage.

 *Even if that woman said I should leave, I’m not going anywhere for as long as Dominic wants me to stay. Don’t think you’ve won just because he’s going to be fucking you for a few minutes. It’ll mean nothing to him!”

 “The same goes for me. I cross my arms.

 Chapter 62

 “Oh, please. You think l–don’t see right through your bullshit? You clearly want my man all to yourself. Is that why you started making moves with your other n this morning?”

 “What are you talking about now?” I huff.

 “There you go, ying dumb again. I know what you were trying to do this morning while you were on the phone, but it

 won’t work!”

 She seems so certain of what she’s talking about, but I’mpletely clueless. Why am I even still here?

 “You know what? Don’t waste my time. I have some important things to take care of,” I say to her.

 I turn around to walk away, but she grabs me by the shoulder to make me face her again.

 “Don’t fucking walk away from me because I’m not yet done talking Her eyes grow so wide that they look like they’ll pop out. “You’re not going to ruin things for me and Dominic! I’d rather die before I let that happen!”

 “I never said he was mine.”

 “The main goal of your stupid n is clearly to tear us apart but you know what? I’m way ahead of you!”

 “What n?”

 She twists her face in anger. “Keep ying dumb all you want. I know what you’re doing and I won’t let you seed.”

 And with that, she storms off to her bedroom, mming the door

 It takes me a few seconds to open my bedroom door as my mind races with questions. What n from this morning is she talking about?

 Dominic

 It’s 11:00 p.m. and I’m finally on my way back home.

 After listening to what Vanessa had to say, I was left speechless. I couldn’t wait so I rushed to the orphanage and spoke to little Billy and the staff. Their exnation of what happened matched with what Vanessa said to me.

 I even checked the surveince footage myself and what I saw and heard crushed me. First, it was the footage with Billy, and then the footage that captured what happened outside between Vanessa and Carme

 That’s why even though that happened so many hours ago, I haven’t had the strength to go back home.

 This whole time, I’ve been struggling to </be to terms with what the truth is. I didn’t know this was who Carme was and she changed the narrative of what happened. I blindly believed her and even cleared things up at the orphanage because l’a never doubt her, and now I hate myself for it.

 The moment I return home, I head upto speak to Carme. While in the elevator, my heart’s already pounding hard with rage as I’ve already made a huge decision and nothing’s going to change my mind.
