HIS

Chapter 42

I have to admit, Victoria's whole ugly attitude towards me stung. I had too much hope that she would be like her family, but I do find solace in the fact that I know my husband truly loved me and has my back. He probably didn't hear her comment and I won't tell him, because I don't complain of every little bad interaction I have with people.

I am aware that Domenico has a track record for sleeping with a lot of women, even though he never dated after that witch, Isabella. But that is over now, he has proven to me countless times he is vested and faithful and that is enough for me and I will never throw his past in his face.

People are capable of change, but luckily, I'm not an insecure person and I don't want to be the cause of a rift between brother and sister.

Gina, Vanessa and Victoria are probably under the impression I was born under a rock. I can clearly see their intentions but I'll let them slide and keep an eye out for them. Victoria is Domenico's sister, so I'll allow Domenico to sort her and her Muppets out himself. I will just stay in my lane and avoid her from now on, but if she dares to mess with me, I will have no other option but to defend myself.

Let's see how far this will go while I'm still trying to figure out the situation between the two girls and Domenico. Was it a threesome or did he bang the one after the other? Sick of me to want to know. That's a mystery my husband would be able to explain, but for now, I need a bathroom. I never thought that after finding out I was pregnant all the symptoms would also appear.

I ignored their whole conversation and indicate to Domenico that I'm going to the bathroom to which he nods. I made my way past all the guests laughing and talking, down the hallway and into the bathroom.

I do my business and wash my hands. I was about dry my hands and head out of the bathroom, when the door opened. In walks Domenico's sister Victoria, with an ugly grin on her face. Why do I always meet nasty people in bathrooms? I then decided to ignore her, dried my hands so that I could get out of here. She headed towards the sink and let the water run over her hands.

I dropped the towel in the small basket on the floor as she kept a watchful eye on my every move. As I placed my hand on the door handle to leave, she starts to speak.

"Your marriage with my brother won't last. He will see you for the gold digger you really are" she says while her eyes bore into mine.

"Excuse me?" I turned, my head and facing her at her with a shocked expression. I should have ignored her and left, but my hormones are in overdrive and the fact that she was rude earlier, triggered me more.

She took her time drying her hands and as she threw the towel in the bin, she then proceeded to look me in the eye before she spoke.

"You are the reason my brother decided on remaining here in the US and that makes you the reason why my brother threatened me to move back or he will cut me off. I had to leave the man I love, so that you could be happy" she said, with pure venom lacing her tone.

"I'm sorry for everything you are going through, but whatever happens between your brother and yourself has nothing to do with me. I suggest you keep me out of your assumptions and try and find common ground with your brother for whatever issues you two have"

"You bitch!" she shouts as she lifts her hand and starts to swing to slap me, but I caught her hand just in time. She tried to pull her hand out of my grip, but I increased the pressure on her wrist.

"You don't threaten me and think I would allow you to walk all over me. I will say this one more time, so listen to me carefully. Sort your shit out with your brother and not me. If he asked me to move to Mars I would do it in a blink of an eye, so don't assume that I'm the reason for him remaining here" I spat, dropping her hand.
