Damien’s POV

I let out a sigh as I rubbed my face and turned towards the window in my office. It had been three weeks since Elsie was taken to the hospital and I couldn't be more happy that she was finally better now. Even my wounds were healed as well and things were going smoothly.

  • The Wife Who Walked Away Richer   Chapter 113

    Damien’s POVI was practically boiling as I led my mother to the study to have a word with her because she was definitely overstepping. The moment we got in and the door closed after us, I spun around to face her immediately with my eyes narrowing."What the hell is wrong with you?"Eleanor didn't flinch or look remorseful. She only smoothed her dress again before walking over to my desk like we were exchanging pleasantries."You’ve redecorated," she noted coolly. "A bit modern for my taste, but I suppose it suits your new... impulsive lifestyle.""Don't play games with me," I hissed, stepping into her personal space. I was a head taller than her but she didn’t look anyway intimidated. "I didn't invite you and I explicitly told Simeon to keep you off the grounds. How did you get in here, and why are you attacking my wife?"I had been careful not to mention the party to her yesterday but seeing her here and acting like she owned the place made me realize I might not even have any priva

    Elsie’s POVI felt as though the whole room paused at her words. With my heart hammering hard against my chest, I took a look at Damien, expecting him to probably laugh or scoff at her. But with the way the blood drained from his face, I realized he didn’t know of her arrival either.The silence between the three of us stretched coldly as I could feel the eyes of guests on us, which made the whole thing even more complicated."Damien," I whispered, my voice trembling as I searched his face for some kind of reassurance that the bad feeling pooling at the pit of my stomach was just me overreacting. But he wasn’t looking at me. His eyes were fixed on Lady Eleanor, who stood there, shoulders high and chin raised as if she was the owner of this estate and we were just low guests."Mother," Damien said again, his voice finally coming out more audible this time as the shock slowly began to wear off. He cleared his throat with his hand shifting from my waist to my shoulder and pulling me firm

    Elsie’s POVThe estate had been transformed into a totally diffent place wnd it was so exciting for me. Today was the day of the party and I must say, everythinf was in rheir rigjt places.I took a final look in the mirror, smoothing the black dress i was wearing. It was loose enough to be comfortable but structured enough to make me feel like the woman of the house, despite my little baby bump which was only visible by me. My hair was swept up in a soft bun, leaving a few strands to frame my face, which finally had some color back in it because I was recovering pretty well. "Stop fussing, Mrs. Thorne," Damien’s voice rumbled. He was standing behind me and looking devastatingly handsome as always in a charcoal suit. From the mirror, I watched as his eyes trailed seductively over the curve of my hips, which were getting wider by each passing day snd now, I looked even better. Then, his arms wrapped round me as he leaned down to the side of my neck. "You look perfect and Absolutely

    Damien’s POV"Is this how to treat your mother?" Her words were sharp and designed to trigger and make me cower like she always did but I wasn’t a child anymore. I knew what I wanted and what I didn’t."I apologize, Mother," I said, though I didn’t sound sorry. "I’m just tired. It’s been a long day, and as I said, I have a lot on my plate so I didn't mean to sound dismissive, but my time is limited.""It’s always limited when it comes to me, isn't it?" she countered, her voice dropping low like she was trying to keep her temper at bay. "You haven’t bothered to reach out in months. Not even a single check-in. I suppose you only care about your father’s recovery? You’ve always been like him, Damien. I am the one who kept this family’s reputation intact while he was in surgery, yet you treat me as if I’m a stranger."I closed my eyes, rubbing the bridge of my nose. The jealousy in her tone was palpable because I knew this tactic which she had used a lot of times already and the effect wa

Then, we wouldn’t have to watch our backs every second and although Victoria was still on the loose, I knew she would be handled if she tried any more tricks up her sleeve. Then, she would be taken to join her husband who is a loser.My only problem now was the party which I was handling carefully to make sure no unwanted guests came inside. Security was going to be very tight as well in order to make sure Elsie is fully at rest because I wanted her to have a good time."Simeon," I said, not looking up as my head of security entered the room. "Tell me the perimeter protocols for tomorrow a

  • The Wife Who Walked Away Richer   Chapter 108

    Elsie’s POVThree weeks had passed since I was taken to the hospital and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel like I was being monitored or followed because I knew Lucas had been caught and I was finally free. The bruises on my arms had slowly faded and the pain in my ribs had slowly softened. I was feeling much better now while the only time I felt a bit of pain or discomfort was when I moved too quickly or abruptly but other than that, I was as good as new. Good news? I had been discharged from the hospital ten days ago, and coming home felt like stepping into a new life with my baby still safe and alive in my belly.The house was buzzing today because some people were making little decorations to the living room. Damien was fully recovered just like me, business was blooming and to make it even better, we bagged another massive collaboration deal, undermining the fact that we have both been distracted a couple of times. To celebrate, Damien and I had decided to throw a
