The Wife He Never Wanted Chapter thirty four
The weeks that followed felt like a slow breath after holding it for too long. Damien left the hospital and moved into a small apartment near my father’s house. He came every day to see the kids. He never pushed for more with me. He simply showed up. He played with Liam in the garden. He read stories to Rose. He helped with dinner and then left quietly each night.I watched him carefully. Every action. Every word. Looking for the old lies. But they did not come.One evening after the kids were asleep we sat on the back porch. The stars were bright above us. Damien kept a respectful distance in his chair.“I started therapy twice a week” he said quietly. “Real therapy. Not just talking about the surface things. I am learning why I kept secrets. Why I was so scared of losing control. I want to be better for them. For you. Even if you never take me back.”I looked at him. The moonlight softened the lines on his face. He looked older. Tired. But also more real than he had in years.“I am

The hospital waiting room smelled of coffee and worry. I sat in the same chair for hours while doctors worked on Damien. Sophia had brought the kids and they were sleeping in a quiet room down the hall. I could not sit still. I paced the floor until my legs ached.A doctor finally came out. His face was tired but calm. “He is stable. The bullet missed major organs but he lost a lot of blood. He is going to need time to recover but he should be okay.”Relief washed over me so strongly I had to sit down. Tears came fast. I cried quietly into my hands while the doctor patted my shoulder.“Can I see him?” I asked.He nodded. “Just for a few minutes. He is still groggy.”Damien lay in the hospital bed. Machines beeped around him. His face was pale but when he saw me his eyes softened. He tried to smile.“You came” he whispered. His voice was rough.I sat beside the bed and took his hand. “Of course I came. You took a bullet for me again. You idiot.”He chuckled weakly then winced in pain.

Gunshots cracked through the warehouse like thunder. The partner’s grip on me tightened. The cold metal of the gun pressed harder against my temple. My heart hammered so loud I could barely hear the shouting around us.“Do not move!” he screamed at the police officers flooding in from every entrance. “I will kill her right now!”Damien struggled wildly against the ropes tying him to the chair. Blood ran down his face from a cut above his eye. “Let her go! Take me instead! She has nothing to do with this!”The partner laughed. It was a ugly sound that echoed off the concrete walls. “Too late for that. She brought the files. Now she is going to watch you die.”He kicked the bag toward one of his men. The man opened it fast. His face changed when he saw what was inside. Blank papers. No real files.“You tricked me!” the partner roared. He spun me around to face him. His eyes were wild with rage. “Where are the real ones?”I looked straight at him. My voice came out surprisingly steady. “

I could not sleep. The safe apartment felt like a cage. The walls pressed in on me while the clock on the wall ticked louder with every minute. Twenty four hours. That was all the time I had before they hurt Damien. Or worse.Sophia stayed awake with me. She made tea we both barely touched. The kids slept soundly in the next room. Their peaceful breathing was the only thing keeping me from falling apart completely.“I have to do something” I whispered. “I cannot just sit here.”Sophia looked at me with worried eyes. “The police are working on it. You have protection. The kids are safe here.”“But Damien is not.” The words slipped out before I could stop them. Even after all the lies. Even after the betrayal. I still cared. I hated myself for it but the feeling was there.My phone sat on the table like a bomb. I picked it up and stared at the last video. Damien’s bloody face. His voice telling me to save myself and the children. The partner’s cruel smile.I played it again. This time I

The police station lights felt too bright. They buzzed above us like angry insects. I sat in the hard plastic chair for what felt like hours, rocking Rose while Liam slept with his head on Sophia’s lap. Every time the door opened I looked up hoping for news about Damien. Every time it was just another officer or someone bringing coffee.My mind would not stop spinning.What if he was hurt?What if he was gone?What if this was the moment everything finally ended?A senior officer finally came back. He looked tired but kind. “We have teams searching the area. We found tire tracks leading into the woods. There was blood at the scene but no sign of your husband or the other men. We are treating this as a possible kidnapping. Do you have any idea who might want to take him?”I almost laughed at the question. Where did I even start?I told him everything I could. The threats. The partner. Elena. The old family business wars. He wrote it all down and promised they would follow every lead. B

The black car stayed glued to us like a shadow that refused to disappear. I gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. The highway stretched ahead like a long gray ribbon cutting through the mountains. Every mile felt like another step deeper into danger.Liam’s crying had turned into quiet sniffles in the back seat. “Mommy, is Daddy okay? Why are those cars chasing us?”I forced my voice to stay calm even though my heart was breaking. “Daddy is right behind us, baby. We are going to be safe soon. Just hold your sister’s hand for me.”Rose had stopped crying but her little face was red and frightened. She clutched her blanket like it could protect her from the world. I hated that my children had to experience this fear. They deserved peace. They deserved a normal life. Not this endless nightmare.Damien’s voice came through the phone again. He sounded tense but in control. “Do not slow down. The next exit has a police station. Stay on this road. I will keep them b
