Damien’s POV

I took deep breaths as I tried to even my heartbeat that had refused to calm down. The nurse, however, didn't leave my side. She was persistent, her hand resting on my shoulder as I sat on the hospital floor while staring at the blood drying on my sleeves. I thought taking a moment or closing my eyes was going to help, but it was even worse because each time I closed my eyes, all I could see was the pain in Elsie’s eyes as she called out my name while being dragged to the SUV by th

  • 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

    Elsie’s POVImmediately, there was a long silence after the doctor’s announcement and it stretched to the point where I began to wonder if Damien heard the doctor right because he just stood there with wide eyes as he tried to process the news. I, on the other hand, was relieved that my baby was still okay, and even though this wasn’t how I wanted him to know about the baby, I was still grateful and could only hope for Damien to take it well.The baby was still there and no matter all what I’ve been through, my little fighter hung on.The doctor stepped forward and handed me the medical report with his expression softening as he smiled at me. "Given what you’ve been through, it’s a miracle, Mrs. Thorne. We’ll need to schedule a consultation and a detailed ultrasound as soon as you’re up for it, just to ensure everything is progressing as it should, but for now, focus on resting."Seeing as Damien wasn’t saying anything, he simply gave him a nod before leaving the room. I didn't look

  • The Wife Who Walked Away Richer   Chapter 106

    Elsie’s POVWhen I finally opened my eyes after what felt like forever, I blinked hard as my eyes tried to adjust to the light in the room.I winced as my whole body felt as though I had been run over by a truck, dumped inside a gutter and left to wither away for the longest time.My head was pounding with a crushing headache, my ribs throbbed painfully like they’ve been shattered and my memories were all over the place as I tried to remember what had happened. I remembered the kidnap and the rescue and then I remembered Damien being shot and panic filled me immediately as my eyes widened in panic. Is he alright?I looked around the room to see I was in the hospital and lying brokenly on the bed. Trying to check for some sign of life, I turned but let out a gasp as pain filled me. At the corner of the room and squeezed on a small couch that looked a bit too small for his body was Damien, who seemed to be fast asleep even in such an uncomfortable position.He must be very tired.He loo

  • The Wife Who Walked Away Richer   Chapter 105

    Damien’s POV The first thing that filled my nose when I woke up was the sharp sting of antiseptic and I knew exactly where I was before I even opened my eyes. I tried to adjust but a sharp pain by my side made me let out a groan, as my eyes fluttered open to see I was in the recovery ward of the hospital. My shirt had been replaced by a thin hospital gown, and I could feel the thick padding of a bandage over my abdomen where that fucker had shot me. The pain was all I could think about for a moment but slowly, my senses came alive and I stiffened. "Elsie," I rasped, my voice sounding sore and broken. I struggled to sit up, but I winced in pain and fell back to the bed immediately as a nurse rushed to my side and urged me to remain still. "Mr. Thorne, you need to stay still. You’ve lost a significant amount of blood, and the sedative hasn't fully worn off." "Where is she?" I demanded, ignoring her instructions as I gripped her forearm a bit too roughly. "My wife. Elsie Thorne, s

    Damien’s POV"Damien!" I heard Elsie’s tired voice reach me but all I could think of was the blood on my hands. Through the haze, I saw Lucas scrambling to stand with his eyes wild with a frantic, desperate triumph as he leveled the gun at me again. He looked like he had just won a lottery as he tried to pull the trigger again and just finish me off but he didn’t get to.Simeon and the rest of the team swarmed him and tackled him to the ground before feeding him with punches. I could hear the crack of bones and ribs but I didn’t really care about him anymore and neither did I care about the sirens I could hear from the distance.My attention was solely fixed on a drained figure that was dragging herself towards me on the floor, even though it looked painful."Elsie," I managed to rasp as my throat felt like it was closing off with so many emotions inside me. Slowly, she reached me and collapsed beside me, her hands bruised and trembling as they reached out to touch my face. Her eyes w

  • The Wife Who Walked Away Richer   Chapter 103

    Damien’s POVThe drive to the North Pier felt like an eternity, even though we were literally going at a high speed. The moon was out tonight and I took that as a sign that luck was going to be on our side no matter what."Approaching the perimeter," Simeon’s voice crackled through the headset as we continued driving. "Three hundred meters out so we kill the lights now."The lights were all turned off immediately, leaving us to only see with the reflection from the moon. The SUVs pulled to a stop at a safe distance so as not to alert anyone unnecessarily."Everyone out and proceed with silent approach," I commanded as I whispered into the headset. We walked for a while with one of the tech guys in front as he led us to the area the signal was coming from. We arrived at a deserted and old warehouse that was located in a secluded area that any person would easily miss, if they weren’t paying attention.Still cautious, we arrived at the entrance and assembled ourselves. Since we were man
