LINA

And I had not told him because I had sat across from him, in this room, and watched as he started the conversation and understood there was no opening for it.

Not because he was lying to me, but because he genuinely didn't know the opening was needed.

He came out of the bathroom, crossed to his side of the bed, and got in under the covers. He reached over and turned off the lamp on his nightstand. I was still sitting up on my side. I reached over and turned off mine. Then I lay

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 82

    Chapter 82Selina POVI stayed in the bed watching the door where Sefu had stood some hours ago. His words still echoed in my ears. If you ever need anything…Could he be? I shook the thought out of my head. It was a marathon not a sprint. That kind of unbridled optimism would kill the plan long before it was mature to actually work. I sat upright with an uneasiness I couldn’t quite explain. The compound was far too silent than usual. I didn’t know how to explain it but the quiet was just completely out of place. It wasn’t graveyard silent but the silence was more still than what I had been used to.It was probably the cold I figured, I rubbed my hands together and crossed my legs in a bid to generate heat. I remembered a piece of article that said cold nights were quieter than usual. I shrugged and managed to get my feet on the floor.Two things happened at the same time; the building vibrated so powerfully the windows, there was also a loud bang and bright flash of brightness that

    Chapter 81Damien POVI watched the road through the car wind screen, it was a quiet day. There was barely any traffic and pedestrians were scanty. It was both a tactical advantage and disadvantage, depending on where you stood.Cain and Marcus were in the front, a map held between them, resting on the dashboard as they deliberated on the finer details of the assault plan.I made a point to acknowledge Dean for his effort privately when all this came to a close. Since picking the trail of the flower van, the building has been watched for several hours by my teams. They were being very discreet, it took me a while to spot them. I was able to do so because I knew they were in the vicinity. The chatter coming from the surveillance teams was the security was ligh

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 80

    Chapter 80Selina POVI woke much more later in the day. The shadow and grey clouds outside told me it was getting late. I had been out for five hours. My head buzzed slightly as my vision gradually became clear. I winced a bit as I moved my legs off the bed to the ground; there were still shots of pain that fired in my synapses. I rubbed my stomach, greatly relieved nothing had happened to my child.A mother is supposed to protect her child not place the child in harm’s way. I shook my head, now wasn’t the time. I could always punish myself when I got out of here.I tried to be stand up but my body protested and the wobbliness of my legs told me it was too soon.The room looked cleaner and I could smell the

    CHAPTER 79AMORA POV I had read the message more times than I could count. The photograph of Selina, pale and tired was still on my screen. Beneath it, those eleven words that had not stopped living in my chest since they arrived. She's alive because you've been useful. Stay useful.I set the phone face-down on the bed and picked it up again.I had been useful. I had done everything that was asked of me and I was been reminded of it. It was a subtle reminder of what happened when that changed.I tried my investigator at six in the morning but he wasn’t reachable. I tried his assistant at six-fifteen, didn’t go through. The second number he'd given me for emergencies at six-thirty was a dead end too. The silence was so complete it felt deliberate.I put the phone down, and went to the window, trying to think clearly.Going to Damien was the first option that surfaced and the first I dismissed. I almost laughed at the idea. After everything I had done over the past weeks, any version o

    CHAPTER 78ROSALIE POV I hadn't slept so I'd gone to my study instead, turned the lights on and watched the driveway.The phones hadn't stopped ringing since yesterday evening but each call never brought the news I wanted.I had one thread running that nobody else was pulling. Detective Elias Vance had been working a completely separate angle from Damien's team for the past week. I had been waiting for new so when the maid announced him just after eight, I was already standing.He walked in carrying a file thicker than the last one, and I read his face before he opened his mouth. Elias was not a man who showed much but I could tell he looked disturbed in a way I hadn't seen from him before."You found something," I said."I found the man." He sat across from me and set the file on the table between us. "Not just an alias. The man underneath all of them."I sat straighter.He laid out photographs and different identification documents. There were at least four different passports and

    Chapter 77Damien POVThe screens showed surveillance tapes of areas in the city. The phones are constantly being worked by the operatives. Several cups of coffee are beside the laptops. The eye rubbing and soothing of foreheads were becoming more frequent. I stared around the office and remained seated. I have been moving around the makeshift operations room trying to get first hand report of what the analysts were doing and finding out.However, over the past few hours I had remained motionless. I sat down and waited. Then took the decisions that needed to be taken. I gave orders with so much levity and distance that made the analysts blink a few times. Cain and Marcus noticed it but they never said anything. Marcus went close to a screen, he had a document in his hand. “Most of the leads we have failed. The abandoned warehouses, fake identities and traffic cameras footage have been dead ends. I think I know why.”He had my attention with that statement. I leaned forward as he con
