Chapter 123: Don't Go

DAMIEN

By Friday evening, everyone had gathered in my kitchen.

Caleb arrived first, still wearing his work suit, his tie hanging loose around his neck. He stopped in the doorway. We hadn’t spoken since he’d walked out of my office.

“I’m still angry with you,” he said.

“I know.”

“And I’m going to be angry with you for a long time.”

“I also know, Caleb.”

He crossed the kitchen and pulled me into a tight embrace, the same way he’d held me at my father’s funeral.

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 130

    Chapter 130: The ChairDamien POVThey tied me with cable ties.Wrists to the arms of the wooden chair. Ankles to the legs. Then a rope across my chest, round the back, pulled so tight I could feel the wood pressing into my spine with every breath.The chair was bolted to the floor. I could feel that too. The whole thing didn't move an inch when I pulled.Across the oily concrete, twenty feet away, Selina sat on the metal chair with the driver's hands on her shoulders. She was crying without making a sound. Her tied hands were pressed against her stomach.I couldn't reach her. I couldn't do anything. I kept my eyes on her face anyway. Kayden pulled up an oil drum in front of me and sat on it. He crossed his legs. He looked comfortable, like a man at a pub.Behind him, the lorry was written *ROURKE HAULAGE. NORTH & EAST.*

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 129

    Chapter 129: He CameSelina POVHe came and I'd spent three hours telling myself he wouldn't. I'd said it to the baby. I'd said it to the rusted lorry and the swinging light and the pigeon up in the steel. *He won't come. So it won't hurt.*And then the blue doors groaned open, and two men pushed him through into the dark, I saw him and he was there.His dark jacket was black with rain at the shoulders, a tear in it from the glass at Fenna. His hair flat on his forehead. A gun pressed into the back of his neck.Damien was sanding in the oil stains on the concrete floor with his hands up. He’d come. I never knew he would, I thought he would go to Amora. But he came. I smiled.My whole body went hot and then cold and then hot again. My heart did something I'd never felt before, a great hard lurch, like it was trying to get out of my chest and run to

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 128

    Chapter 128: The TradeDamien POVThey pulled me out of the car by my jacket.Two of them. One on each arm. My shoulder hit the doorframe and my feet slid on the wet gravel and someone shoved a gun into the back of my neck, it was cold and hard, right where my hair stopped."Hands where I can see them."I put my hands up.Someone patted me down, fast and rough. Chest. Back. Legs. Ankles. They found my phone and threw it into a puddle. They found the car keys and threw those too.Then one of them grabbed my left wrist and held it up to the light."Here."He pulled the watch off. He held it up so the others could see the back of it, the tiny dark lens where the green light had been.He dropped it on the gravel and brought his boot down on it. Glass cracked. Metal crunched. He st

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 127

    Chapter 127: AloneDamien POVI left the house at twenty to five. The reporters at the gate were asleep in their vans. One of them sat up as Gus dragged the gate open, rubbed his eyes, fumbled for his camera, and missed me. By the time his flash went off I was already at the bottom of the road.The city was black and wet and empty. Streetlights on the embankment. A night bus with nobody on it. A fox crossing the road by the bridge, stopping to look at my headlights, then trotting away like it had somewhere better to be.I had both hands on the wheel. My heavy watch was firmly fitted on my left wrist. Under it's glass, a tiny green light blinked once every few seconds, it was so small you'd only see it if you knew to look.On the passenger seat lay a cream paper envelope. *Selina* on the front, in my handwriting.I'd written it at three in the morning at the k

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 126

    Chapter 126: He Won't ComeSelina POVThey moved me again at three in the morning. They put on hoodie, the stairs, the creaking jetty and the van. This time Sefu climbed in beside me and sat close enough that I could feel his arm against mine through the blanket, and when the van went round the roundabout and I tipped, he caught my shoulder and held it. He didn't say anything. Neither did I.This time, the drive lasted only twenty minutes. No bells rang. When the doors opened, the river's smell was gone. I met with cold, dry air and something unpleasant, like a garage that had been closed for years.Gravel under my feet, then concrete. Then a sound I knew from Dad's garage when I was small. A big metal shutter door being hauled up on a chain. Rattle, clang.The hood came off. I was in a huge room bigger than the warehouse. A roof so high I couldn't see it in the dark, just the shapes of steel beams crossing far above me like the bones of something. One light, hanging from a long cabl

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 125

    Chapter 125: First FlutterSELINA POVFriday morning came in grey through the bars on the window.I knew it was Friday because the ferry horn sounded at seven, then again at eight. Sefu had told me the first boat on Fridays was the early one that carried people to the market. I’d been in the stone room by the river for three nights. I’d counted every horn. It was seventeen, then eighteen.Kayden hadn’t returned since telling me about the choice. Nobody had told me what Damien had decided. Nobody told me anything.The cold had settled into my body. My fingers, my feet, even my bad hip, which now ached constantly, a deep, dull pain beneath the bone. I sat on the wooden chair, wrapped in the grey blanket, shivering as I pressed my tied hands against my stomach to keep it warm.The driver brought food at nine. A sandwich and a carton of water that was already half empty, as though someone had taken a drink from it. He placed them on the floor and left.I finished the water in four mouthful
