Italian Obsession

Chapter 99

Valentina

It was around 7 when Danny finally got home. "Hey, beautiful."

"You're late. You were supposed to be home at 5:30, Danny."

"I had a meeting last minute."

I really wish that I could fully believe what he is telling me but I had no reason to. "Okay."

"I'm going to take a shower."

Nodding, I grabbed my glass of wine and took a big sip before calling Micah. "He got home late."

"I saw Anthony in the conference room with him and William when I left, so I'm assuming they had a meeting."

"I hope so."

"Don't let her get in your head, Val."

"I'm trying, Micah but it's hard."

"If he knew better, he won't do it again."

"I hope not, but I don't even know anymore."

"If he wants to be a good father and husband, he won't."

"We'll see."

After Danny got out of the shower, I had a plate of food on the table for him. "How was your day?"

"It was fine."

"That's good."

"Yeah. How about you?"

"Busy."

"That's good."

Danny raised his eyebrows. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm fine, Danny."

"Babe..."

"I've had a long day, I'm going to bed."

"Alright, I'll be up shortly."

Nodding, I went upstairs and got in bed. I was not looking forward to tomorrow morning, especially knowing I have to see that bitch's face.

Danny

I didn't know exactly what Valentina had on her mind, but she ignored me all of last night and when I woke up, she had already left to go to work.

I grabbed my phone before I left and called her, only for it to go straight to voicemail.

The moment I got to work, I saw Lindsay standing in the break room, pouring a cup of coffee. "Mr. Esposito!"

"Good morning, Lindsay."

"How are you doing?"

"Good."

As I grabbed my key to unlock my office, she followed closely behind me. "Can I help you?"

She smirked. "No, I just wanted to see you this morning."

"Why?"

" I was just thinking about you last night and this morning. But can you blame me?"

"I have a wife in case you didn't notice."

She looked at my black wedding band and nodded. "I am fully aware."

"Then stop doing this."

She smiled. "Doing what?"

"Trying to hit on me."

"Can you blame me, Danny?"

"Excuse me?"

"That's your name, right?"

"You are to address me as Mr. Esposito, do you understand?"

"But I've noticed that Mr. Burnside doesn't. So, why should I?"

"I have no reason to explain myself to you, Ms. Lewis."

"Do you want to go out sometime to get a drink or two?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I am not interested, that is why."

"I heard that you have kids. Is that true?"

"I have some phone calls to make, Ms. Lewis."

"It's Lindsay."

Before shutting my door, I noticed the scowl on Valentina's face. I sat on my chair, feeling beyond pissed off. Not only is Lindsay desperate, but she doesn't take a hint and if she thinks that I will give in to her, she is out of her damn mind. Especially once she realizes that Valentina is my wife.

Valentina

"Good morning, ladies!"

Micah looked at Lindsay and raised her eyebrows. "You're cheerful this morning."

"Because I just asked Mr. Esposito if he wanted to get drinks and he said yes!"

Micah laughed. "No, he didn't, I just heard him."

"He'll say yes soon, especially when I have the opportunity to make him sleep with me."

Micah shook her head. "That's pretty unprofessional, don't you think?"

"When our boss is hot, can you blame me?"

"He has two kids and a wife." Micah said, looking at me out of the corner of her eye.

"Okay and? You really think that will stop me? Hell no. I couldn't care less."

"Well, you should care."

"I'm sure his wife is nothing compared to me. Especially with the tricks I have under my sleeve."

"You know you could get fired for having any sexual relationship with an employee, right?"

"Not if I tell him to keep it a secret."

"You really think that he would keep that from Mr. Burnside? Absolutely not and he would fire you in an instant."

"You'll see."

"How do you see that being a good idea? Keep his wife and kids in your mind."

"It won't stop me." Lindsay said with a grin on her face. "See you guys later!"

After she left, I felt my blood boiling. "That bitch sure has some guts talking about him right in front of me. Especially once she finds out that I'm his wife and he's the father of my son."

Katy shook her head. "Girls that are desperate like her don't give up but if Danny truly loves you, he won't do that."

"He better not because he knows the consequences."

"Don't doubt him just yet, Valentina."

"I'm trying not to, but it's hard."

Micah nodded. "I understand, but don't doubt him yet."

I tried distracting myself but seeing Lindsay approach Danny multiple times throughout the day made me angrier. But it seems like he hasn't given in yet.
