The Wife Who Walked Away Richer Chapter 50
Elsie’s POVHow was he here? Well, of course he was a business owner but why did he have to be here of all places?The threatening photos he had thrown online that caused the scandal began to fill my mind and slowly, fear crept into my bones. His main plan was to ruin me and I had a feeling he wasn't going to stop until he fully succeeded.I threw a glance at Damien’s way but he was involved in a deep conversation and I really didn’t want to bother him. I hated people to think I was helpless and if I tried to get Damien’s attention, I would also draw Lucas’s attention which I didn’t want. So, I could only stare on and hope he doesn't notice me.But I wasn’t that lucky.Lucas, who was talking to another guy with his back partially turned to me, seemed to feel my cold stare poking his back. I watched in horror as he turned back to check, only for our eyes to meet.At first, he was confused when he saw me sitting there, alone and looking out of place. But then, he seemed to remember ever

Elsie’s POV“Wow.” I breathed as I smoothed the mesmerizing emerald green dress I was wearing, which Damien had gotten for me.It had been three days since I had that terrible nightmare and we kissed and since then, things had been a little awkward because I broke the kiss and hid in the bathroom for more than 30 minutes with my heart racing like I just ran a marathon.Concerned, Damien tried to help but I insisted on staying there for a while by myself and when I finally made my way out, I didn’t meet his eyes and only answered his questions with my head bowed. It got so bad he had to ask if I wanted him to stay over at another room just so I could feel more at ease but of course, I wouldn’t let him do that.We all acted like all was fine by morning but the air between us was tension-filled.Just this morning, while he left for the office for an urgent matter, he sent a package to me asking me to dress well because we had an event to attend. I didn’t bother to open the box. I just pu

Elsie’s POVWhen we arrived at the mansion, Damien helped me to our room before he excused himself to attend to some business matters. I knew it was about the scandal and I wanted to help instead of feeling like a liability or a pretty wife who lazied about all day but he was already gone into that room before I could voice my thoughts.Now alone, I discarded my dress and walked into the bathroom to take a shower so I would rest for the night. I pulled my hair in a bun and took a quick shower before retiring for the night.As I lay in bed alone, my mind went back to the event back at the restaurant. What started as an exciting evening took a sharp turn that neither of us had anticipated. Before I could help myself, my hands went to my lips once more as I relived the kiss.It had been a couple of months since I was last intimate because even before Lucas chose Victoria over me, we were barely intimate and he always acted as though he was doing me a favor by touching me and even then, h

Elsie’s POV“The press,” Damien said, and I felt the blood drain from my face as he lowered his phone.My hands trembled as I wondered if Lucas had released more photos of me yet again.“Damien, I can’t go out there,” I whispered, my voice sounding small as all my muscles became tense again. The interview days ago was hard enough and even then, I was informed beforehand. I didn’t want to face a more brutal crowd that threw all sorts of questions at people without thinking.Damien stood up and walked around the table to my side. He didn't look panicked or troubled; he looked totally collected like the media didn’t faze him. He probably has a lot of experience dealing with them but me? Never in history.“Listen to me, Elsie. We have already done the most crucial part of settling this scandal. They’re probably here because someone tipped them off and I should have thought about that possibility before bringing you out here. I am sorry but you have nothing to be ashamed of and I am not go

Elsie’s POVIt was three days since the interview and things were going pretty well.Just like Damien had anticipated, the interview worked like magic. It killed the scandal pretty fast and all we had to do was play the part of the happy couple for people to see, while paid expert interviews pushed the interview harder for all to see.Damien was the absolute best and he wasn’t even acting like the wedding was fake because even while we were alone, he was still a gentleman, making me fall harder for him.As for Lucas, he has remained silent since he released those pictures and I really hoped he was gone for good.In a way, I was happy the scandal hit that hard because now, our shares were rising better than they ever had. So many people were willing to collaborate with my company, as well as Damien’s company. And tonight, we were going on a date in a public restaurant for more people to see.Damien said we weren’t going to an expensive spot this time because we needed as many people as

Elsie’s POVThe next day, we had a lot of things to do.First, I had to take a business call even if I wasn’t present at work. It just couldn’t wait. We talked on Zoom for over two hours, while Damien equally got busy as well.When I was done, it was time to get ready for the interview that he had told me about. While I sat by the mirror and did my makeup, Damien began to lecture me on the things I needed to know and say.“You’re going to debunk the rumors,” he said as he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me. “Accepting that you’re indeed the one is going to do more harm than good.” he said.“What if no one believes?” I asked, feeling nervous.“They will and besides, they have no other option.” he said. “You already admitted to some of them being edited and with the rate at which technology is expanding, anything is possible.” he explained and I nodded.“So, I am going to tell them they’re all edited?”“Yes, that’s exactly what you’re going to say.” he said. “After analyzing th

Elsie’s POV I glanced at my reflection one last time, my hands running over the silky material of my beautiful black dress with a satisfied smile on my face. I had this dress single-handedly crafted for me and I love the outcome so much. “You look so good, Elsie.” I heard my mother say. Our eyes m

Elsie’s POV “Baby, I see you’re already talking business,” Victoria said as she walked up to Lucas and wrapped her arm around him, but I could tell it was all for show. Her smile was the same fake one she used to throw my way while she slowly sabotaged my marriage. Lucas, on the other hand, didn’t

Lucas’s POVAfter the call, I didn’t move immediately. Instead, I thought long and hard, weighing my options because it was one thing to be with Victoria and another to be seen in such a rich crowd filled with thousands of elite, where I would look like a freaking joke.But I needed this.I needed

Elsie’s POVAt the sound of the voice, we all turned to see who just walked in and my breath stopped for a moment.Oh my God.He was tall, about six foot nine, with a midnight black suit wrapping around him. His hair was a light brown, his skin was well-toned, and his eyes were grey with a sharp ja
