Chapter 51

Damien POV

I checked the time and had a sudden feeling to call Selina. I had no idea what to say or what to talk about but I picked my phone and dialed her number. 

The line thrilled as her phone rang but she didn’t pick up. 

I checked the time again. Four forty. Almost closing time. There was a flurry of activities that always peaked right before closing time and just assumed she was caught in the middle

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 53

    CHAPTER 53DAMIEN POVMy office had become something like the Pentagon especially when the Committee of joint Chiefs had been summoned on any DEFCON level. Derek, Caleb, Dean and Marcus were all present. No one said a thing. There wasn’t anything to be said at all. There was a bottle of alcohol that remained untouched unlike before. Caleb was even unusually quiet. There was no jokes from him or the cynical quips from Derek.There were screen grabs of the incident on the table, taken from different angles to gain a 360 degree perspective. Besides them are the documents, Dean and Caleb were to able find out about the shell companies that were trying to set him up. There was also Derek altered lithium contracts, bank statements and corporate records.It was an absolute mess. I regretted being right all long. It was this same office Derek dismissed the coordinated attack as coincidence.Caleb talked about how the investment system worked, everyone listened attentively but my head was s

    Chapter 52Selina POVI stirred awake, my head throbbed as my vision slowly came back. There was a slight ringing in my ears. What happened? Where was I?Images of a hand over my mouth, feeling drowsy as I led to a car flashed across my mind. Adrenaline quickly shot through my body and I was instantly awake.I stared around the car. The cool leather cushion, the immaculate smooth drive told me it was an expensive car. It was probably German. The driver drove the car with the smooth assuredness of someone who knew where he was going. We weren’t on the high way and took too many detours and turns. They were probably trying to avoid highway patrol cops and cameras.My hands weren’t bounded and I wasn’t blindfolded either. They didn’t mind me seeing where I was being taken to or they weren’t expecting me to make a return trip from where I was being taken to. Neither was comforting, I clutched my stomach and focused

Almost closing time. There was a flurry of activities that always peaked right before closing time and just assumed she was caught in the middle of it.Dropping the phone, I concentrated on my laptop as I read through the contract on the screen. I checked the time. Five pm. She hadn’t returned the call. I dialed again, it rang but there was no answer again.This was unlike her. I checked and got the number for Ryland foundation. I stared at the phone, my thumb hovering over the dial button.It is what it is.I tapped the button. The line rang and a receptionist picked.“I

    Chapter 50Selina POVI glanced at my wristwatch. 2.30pm. It was almost time for my check up. I had about forty-five minutes to go. I packed up my stuff and left the office without saying a word to anybody. I could feel their stares on my back as they murmured amongst themselves. My eyes scanned the area immediately I exited the building for the black sedan. Ever since that day at the mall, I hadn’t seen it and it had made me rather unsettled than relieved. What could they be up to? I waited for another three minutes just to be certain. I checked the corners, nothing.This isn’t good at all. I don’t like it. No choice but to carry on usual. Hailing a cab, I entered and gave directions to the clinic. There was no way in hell I was going to stop living my life because of a single car. I had goals before the black sedan came into my life and now it was out of my life, I was going to focus on those goals again.Checking the time, I sighed. I was barely going to make it on time. The cli

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 49

    Chapter 49 CALEB POVMy apartment looked like a conspiracy theorist had a breakdown in it. There were papers everywhere, three laptops open, and enough coffee cups to start a collection. It was two in the morning and Dean’s shirt was tucked in and it pissed me off."You ever just relax?" I asked, peeling another sticky note off my arm."You ever just focus?" he said, not looking up.Fair. But somebody had to keep morale from collapsing entirely, and it seemed that job description fell to me. It was easier to crack a joke than contemplating how many years sentence a fraud case drew.Dean still looked like he'd just stepped out of a deposition. I didn't know how he did that. I'd seen the man run on four hours of sleep and still manage to look like he was judging my life choices from a great height.Dean dropped a folder on the table like he had a bone to pick with it. He didn't trust me to handle this alone. He'd started digging the second Derek's lithium

    Chapter 48Amora POVThe documents were thorough. I had to give him that. I sat at the head of my office table and went through every page myself. I never delegated anything that mattered. The forged Ryland Foundation records were convincing. There were clean signatures, matching timestamps, a paper trail that would make any compliance officer sweat. I looked it over before setting it down.It was good work but it wasn’t enough for what I had in mind.Public embarrassment had a shelf life. Scandals broke people and rebuilt them. Sympathy always found its way back to the wounded, especially wounded women. People were sentimental like that. They easily forgave and forgot. They extended grace to those they'd torn apart months earlier.I didn't want Selina forgiven. I wanted her thrown off the board and gone permanently. I was still considering that when my investigator cleared his throat."There's one more thing." He slid another folder across the table."Sh

She was maintaining her distance and I didn’t know how to bridge the gap between us. “It’s ready.” Marcus’ voice broke my train of though

Don’t do that. I’m not cr
