All Chapters of The Wife Who Walked Away Richer: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

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 POVI woke up with a groan to feel Damien’s arms wrapped tightly around me like he was afraid I would disappear with the slightest movement. His chest was pressed against my back as his hand settled on my waist and for a moment, I just enjoyed the calmness of it all.Soon, I felt him stir behind me as his hand, large and warm, began to slowly crawl from my hip to the curve of my stomach as he leaned in with his lips to find the sensitive skin behind my ear."Good morning, pumpkin," he murmured in a deep voice as he stirred again, making his now erect dick poke me.Stifling a yawn, I turned in his arms until I was face to face with him. Giving me a small smile, he took my lips in a searing kiss as my fingers curled into his hair. His tongue swept against mine, while tasting every corner of my mouth as I pulled him closer until there was no more space between us. As the kiss got deeper, I rolled my hips into his erection and he groaned into the kiss as his hands began to roam al

Damien’s POVThe board meeting I had to attend turned out to be torture because I could barely get my thoughts straight. I knew my mom. She wasn’t to be left alone with Elsie. She was that dangerous.And the fact that she came unannounced with her bags when she knew I wasn’t going to be in the house? That was one hell of a manipulation that wasn't a coincidence and hell, she didn't tell me anything about moving in yesterday! I barely heard the CFO's report on the latest collaboration we had because it felt as though I was losing my mind. I didn’t even wait for questions and the moment the final slide hit the screen, I was already out of my chair and heading for the exit like someone was after me.I reached the elevator in no time with my things and marched past Simeon, who looked startled."Simeon, get the car," I barked at him, not bothering to stop. "I want to be at the estate in fifteen minutes.""Traffic is heavy at this hour, sir—""I don't care about the traffic. Get me to the e

Elsie’s POVI stayed locked in my room for hours because I just couldn’t bring myself to step out again and honestly, I just wanted her gone now. Every time I closed my eyes, I always saw her mockery-filled eyes and tone as she talked down to me like it brought her absolute joy.When I finally heard the familiar footsteps of Damien, only then did my eyes light up. I quickly looked at myself in the mirror to make sure I wasn't looking sad before welcoming him with open hands."Hey, pumpkin," Damien murmured as he entered, his eyes immediately scanning me to check if I was okay. Then, he dropped his suitcase and loosened his tie, looking exhausted. "You look... tired. Did you sleep okay?""Just the usual pregnancy fatigue," I lied, forcing a bright smile onto my face as I walked into his arms and buried my face in his chest, inhaling the scent of his cologne which always calmed me down. "How was work?""Productive, but long," he sighed, kissing the top of my head. "Is my mother behaving

Damien’s POVThe next day was the weekend so I didn’t go to work. I cuddled in bed with Elsie for as long as I could before she pushed me away and then, I had breakfast before going to my study to get some work done because there was so much to do.I lost track of time as I got swallowed up with work but after a long while, the door opened without a knock and I didn’t bother looking up because I assumed Elsie was here to keep me company since she probably missed me but instead of her mouth-watering scent that always made me relax, the hairs on my hands stood on end as I felt the air change around me, letting me know it wasn't Elsie but my mother."I see you’re still hiding," Eleanor said, her voice smooth and conversational as she walked toward the armchair opposite my desk and without waiting for an invitation, she flopped onto the seat. "It’s a pity, Damien. A man of your position should be more visible. But I suppose when you’ve tied yourself to a woman who is constantly retreating
