Chapter 64
Vanessa
It’s already 3 in the morning and I can’t seem to fall asleep. My mind keeps racing with so many thoughts and questions about how events unfolded in the past few hours.
I’m also thinking Dominic might note back, considering the time he left and the state in which he left.
I still can’t believe he broke up with Carme just like that, <b>and </b>what did I have to do with it for her to me <b>me </b>so much? All I did was tell him what happened, and what he found when verifying the information was <b>what </b>led to their break up.
Though I’m curious about how he did it, there’s another part of me that tells me to just let it be for now. He might not be in the best state for me to start asking such questionsMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
Whatever the case is, I hope he’s okay. He did seem quite disturbed. But why do I care so much? 1 shouldn’t.
I haven’t even yet told <b>him </b>about his mother’s sudden visit here and what she said, but even if I haven’t yet spoken to him about it, what she wanted to happen has alreadye to pass. Carme’s left this <b>house </b>and it seems that she’ll nevere back <b>again</b><b>.</b>
I never thought I’d see the day he’d do such a thing since he’s always stood by her side, but I guess he finally

Dominic
Frank and I had drinks until 4:00 am, and <b>because </b>I didn’t feel like going back home. I ended up going <b>over </b>to his ce.
It’s already 10 am and I still have a strong hangover. I just want to clear my head right now but it’s not that easy to do, especially because I’m on the phone with my mother. She’s been going over the same thing.
“I’m so
so disappointed in you, my son. How could you do that to Vinessa? Why would you let that evil woman spend time under the same roof as your wife?”
“Like I said, there’s nothing going on between Carme and I. What we had is in the past. She’s just <b>friends </b>with my wife and she’s the <b>one </b><b>who </b>invited her.”
“Even if they’re friends, it’s not right for you to be close to her!”
“Mom, I already told you that everything’s fine. Carme left the house and she’s nevering back. In fact, I want Vanessa to stay away from her.”
“Good! That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Everyone needs to stay away from that woman. She’s nothing but evil.”
“I know. I’ll make sure she <b>stays </b><b>away</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>
“That’s my son!”
After the call, I slide the phone across the bedside table, a sigh of frustration escaping my lips.
I keep <b>thinking </b><b>about </b>what Frank said to <b>me </b>when Ibeled myself as a single man when I’m actually married. I even look down at my wedding ring, shaking my head in disbelief. I might be married but it’s just on paper. When ites to what’s

O
in my heart, I’m single, at least that’s what I tell myself.
Not long after I talk to my mother, my father calls. Shit. I already have an idea of what this means.
I try my best to sound like everything’s alright as I pick up the <b>call</b>.
“Good morning, <b>dad</b><b>.</b>”
“Good morning, <b>son</b>. Don’t forget about the meeting this afternoon.”
“Of course.”
“<b>Make </b>sure you get in touch with Mr Wells. I’m leaving that task to <b>you</b><b>.”</b>
our side.”
“I’ll make sure to get him on our
<b>“</b>Excellent! Son, you’re doing great so far.”
“Thanks”
After the call ends, I sigh deeply, thinking <b>about </b>how all I wanted to do was give Carme a heads up of what was toe for the sake of thepany, but it was that moment which ruined everything.
<b>Frank </b>might have said it’s too soon for me to say she’s gone and nevering back, but this is what I <b>want</b>. I can’t be with someone like her, never,
Just as I <b>think </b>about her attitude at the orphanage, my phone starts ringing again and she’s the one calling.
Why did I forget to block her phone number? Maybe it’s because <b>I </b><b>had </b>too much to drink and forgot to do it.
My blood begins to boil the longer I look down at the caller ID. so I decline the call <b>and </b>immediately block her number. I then <b>block </b>her from all my <b>social </b>media profiles and with each one that I open, I find several messages from her still begging me for a second chance, but I’m done.
While I’d love to skip work and just rx and clear my head, the meeting this afternoon <b>is </b>important, so I don’t even have breakfast with Frank. I have to get home.
Considering how Carme threatened Vanessa, it was actually careless of me to just leave her home alone. Of course<b>, </b>with all the security<b>, </b>I didn’t think anything was going to happen, but I <b>should </b><b>have </b>been more careful.
Before I even get to home, I call Vanessa and it doesn’t take long for her to pick up.
“Hey,” she says <b>and </b>it almost sounds like she’s relieved. “Where are <b>you</b><b>?</b>”
“It doesn’t matter, <b>but </b>I’m on my way <b>back </b>home. Is everything okay back there?”
“Yes, why <b>would </b>something be wrong?”
“You know why I’m asking
“Oh, everything’s fine.”
“Good
And with that, I end the call, feeling a <b>mix </b>of emotions.
Once I get home<b>, </b>I get inside the elevator and <b>as </b>soon as it gets to my floor <b>and </b>opens, Vanessa’s standing right on <b>the </b>other side of the <b>wall</b>. She’s in a robe with wet <b>hair </b>and despite the way that I’m feeling, I always love <b>this </b>sight of her.

She also has a <b>s</b>

To give her privacy, I begin making <b>my </b>way to my bedroom but stop in my tracks when she bursts intoughter.
