The Wife Who Walked Away Richer Chapter 47
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 POVFor the rest of the day, I was left by myself. Damien seemed to be very busy and I didn’t disturb him either.After taking a shower in his luxurious bathtub, I put on a casual shirt and shorts, before going to lie in bed with my thoughts all over the place. Our honeymoon was going to be two weeks and during that period, I had no idea on what I was supposed to do to pass time.After rolling on the bed for a while, I shortly drifted off to a dreamless sleep.By the time I woke up, it was afternoon. Restless and with no Damien in sight, I grabbed my phone and called my secretary. I asked her what was going on at work and if the scandal was being controlled to an extent.She said the news about the wedding seemed to tame down the scandal but it was just a bit. If we didn’t act fast enough, then the scandal would swallow up the news about the marriage in a short while. With that in mind, I ended the call and decided to take a stroll. Remembering that I saw a garden while we arr

Elsie’s POVAs Derek walked away, there was silence for a while as I watched his retreating figure.“What did he say to you?” Damien asked when he was out of sight.“It’s nothing,” I said, brushing the issue off.“Talk to me, Elsie,” he said calmly.I heaved a deep breath before looking at Damien.“He is Lucas’s friend and I once did so much for him while I was still with Lucas but he also took me for a fool and even encouraged Lucas to use me more. He knew of Victoria as well,” I said, trying not to dwell on the betrayal.“So what does he want now?”“Partnership,” I replied. “He is probably facing another setback at work and needs my help one more time. But I am done being used by people like him.”“Good,” Damien said, proud of my decision. “Let me know if he bothers you ever again and I’ll put him in his place,” he said coldly.After that, my parents came to congratulate us as well and then, I paused when Damien told me I was moving in with him immediately after the wedding.Stunned

Elsie’s POVDamien kept his hand wrapped around my waist as we talked to different people that came to attend our wedding. He didn’t leave my side even for a moment and that only made me relax more.Although some guests weren’t there to join us celebrate, I didn’t mind. As a result of the scandal, some were just there to see the woman who could strike all those poses. They only came to see if the wedding was being real or fake and some were even bold enough to throw me disgusting glances. Damien saw it all as I stiffened occasionally but I calmly reminded him to ignore them.Damien was talking to some of his business associates when my eyes trailed to the corner of the hall and I froze.There stood one of Lucas’s very close friends, Derek. I mean, the same one that knew about Victoria but didn’t tell me about it, even when I thought we were friends. He joined Lucas and played in my very face, even after making me help his company during difficult times as well. Why was he here? Did Lu

Lillith’s POVElsie? No, it was definitely the wrong room.“I’m sorry, I think you have the wrong room,” I said.The woman who had called me Elsie walked closer to me and assessed every part of me with her eyes. The woman looked to be in her early forties while the guy looked just slightly older. T

Lilith’s POV The annoying beep of the monitor was all that filled my ears as I woke up and sure enough, I was back at the hospital. If I had been feeling drained before, this was worse. Every part of my body ached painfully as I tried to look around the empty room. My memory was blank for a while a

Luceila’s POVThe ceiling above me is white. Pristine. Sterile.I blink slowly, trying to piece together where I am. Hospital. The antiseptic smell confirms it before my foggy mind fully registers the IV line taped to my hand. How did I get here? Why does everything feel so... disconnected? Like I'

Lilith’s POV As I watched Lucas leave, I blinked away the tears that slowly clouded my vision. I felt like I was losing my mind. One minute my marriage was complete and the next, Victoria was in the midst of it all. I called out to him, but he didn’t turn even to look at me. Instead, he marched on
