All Chapters of The Wife Who Walked Away Richer: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Elsie’s POVDamien, sensing I was not able to say anything, didn't push me for any more answers. He simply knelt beside me, holding my hair back with one hand while he rubbed soothing circles on my back with his other hand. He assured me he wasn’t leaving my side.Every time a new wave of nausea hit me and made me tremble, he would hold me close and whisper reassuring words in my ear."It’s okay, pumpkin. Just let it out and don’t worry, I’ve got you."When the dry heaving finally subsided and I was left drained and shaky, he got a washcloth, soaked it with water and gently helped me to wipe my face that was soaked with saliva. He helped me rinse the bitter taste of acid from my mouth, with an expression of sadness and worry that he tried so hard for me not to notice. I saw it regardless of how hard he tried to hide it. When he was done, he carried me back to the bed and laid me down gently."I’m calling the doctor," he murmured, reaching for his phone."No," I rasped, grabbing his wr

Elsie’s POVThe day I had been dreaming of for weeks finally arrived and I was super excited. After almost two weeks of staring at the white hospital walls, the doctors finally signed my discharge papers. True to her words, the nurse had kept her promise and no one knew about the pregnancy except just the both of us. She was really nice as well and some days, when she wasn’t busy, she would stop by to say hello and see how I was holding up.And when she learned I was going to be discharged, she was both happy and sad because somehow we became friends. We later exchanged contacts and promised to stay in touch which I was really looking forward to, since I didn’t have any friends and I was literally dying to have one.Getting ready to leave felt like preparing for a mission because Damien wasn't taking any chances this time. He didn't just bring the car while coming, he had brought a small army to make the security tight and eliminate any chance of an attack.My parents, who had been r

Elsie’s POVI was literally moving from foot to foot as the elevator climb felt like it was drawing on for an eternity. When the doors finally slid open on the executive floor, the lobby was quiet so I assumed most of the staff were likely at lunch. This played perfectly into my plan since I wanted him alone.I didn’t bother stopping at the assistant’s desk as I made my way directly to Damien’s office. When I stopped in front of his door, a wide smile appeared on my face and with a deep sigh, I pushed the door open happily."Surprise—"The word died in my throat immediately as I remained frozen. The basket I was holding, which contained the pastries I had baked personally for Damien, suddenly felt too heavy as it fell to the floor and its contents shattered on the floor. Damien wasn't behind his desk and typing away at his computer like I had expected him to. Instead, he was on the long sofa against the far wall and he wasn't alone either.Katie, his ex-girlfriend, the woman he had sw

Damien’s POVI rubbed the bridge of my nose as I ran my eyes over the files and thousands of spreadsheets in front of me. One would think that being a CEO is an easy job, but it was actually the hardest. And the fact that our company was now merged and Elsie was temporarily off work, the workload only seemed to double by each passing day.Not that I was complaining, I was willing to go under any form of stress, so long as it was for my woman, Elsie. She was getting better by each day and I couldn’t be more grateful. And although Lucas and Victoria were still not found, I made sure to tighten the security in the office and things were still working in private to help us catch them when they least expected.As I worked, I resisted the urge to call Elsie and tell her how much I missed her but then I would either appear to be too clingy or just unfocused. I didn’t want her to scold me so I pushed my feelings to the side and chose to work faster so that way I had a possibility of going hom

Damien’s POVI took the stairs three at a time and my lungs burned as I ran without slowing down, despite the fact that whatever Katie had given to me was still making me feel dizzy. Because of how fast I was running, I almost lost my footing on the seventeenth floor but gladly I didn’t fall. The need to catch her before she drove off was what kept me going.I didn’t know what I planned to do when I finally caught up with her but at this point I didn’t mind kneeling in public just to seek her forgiveness. It was all that mattered at this point as I couldn't picture my life without her in it. By the time I burst through the heavy doors into the lobby, I was gasping for air. The security guards jumped and their eyes widened as they saw their CEO looking like he’d been dragged through a gutter."Mrs. Thorne! Did she just leave?" I barked, grabbing the nearest guard by his blazer as I shook him aggressively."Sir? Yes, she just ran out through the main—"I didn't wait for the rest as I sh
