All Chapters of The Wife Who Walked Away Richer: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Damien’s POVThree days later and I was still hurting like it was yesterday. Since the day she had me dragged out of her house, I had tried to go back but wasn't granted an audience because of the instructions she had put in place and when I couldn’t see her anymore, I resolved to calling but that only seemed to be worse because she had me blocked everywhere and across all social media handles.She had shut me out completely. She really believed I had replaced her."Damn it!" I roared, slamming the glass of whisky I was holding against the wall and watched blankly as it shattered to the floor still, I didn’t feel any sort of relief. I felt like I was being eaten from the inside out and the more I tried to fight the pain, the more it got even worse, making me miserable.Just then, I heard a knock at my door.I didn’t bother to look up as I assumed it was one of the maids who probably heard the sound of glass and was coming to clean it all up before I chose to hurt myself with it. But a

Damien’s POVReleasing a shaky breath, I checked to make sure my phone was recording, before I continued to listen. Even my mom's voice was nothing like I was used to, which made me begin to wonder how such a monster birthed me."Don't look so squeamish, Naveda," my mother chided, as she tried to calm a nervous Naveda down. "The new company he is building and the trouble I am making him face right now is merely the tip of the iceberg. Damien thinks he won the war when he turned you away and acted like he is not going to break, but he is completely blind to the rot within his own foundations. Do you know that for the past eighteen months, I have been embezzling funds directly from the Thorne logistics accounts and routing millions every single quarter into our private offshore holding companies in the Caymans?"Naveda let out a sharp gasp. "Eighteen months? Eleanor, his auditors are very careful and strict so how have they not flagged the suspicious movements?""Because the auditors re

Damien’s POVBy the time I summoned enough courage to head to Elsie’s parents' estate to go get her, hours had passed but I barely noticed any of this.The company my mom ruined was already being examined with those guilty being filtered away and I knew things were getting better yet, I didn’t feel any better.By the time my car pulled into their driveway, my heart was pounding fast but I didn’t back down. The moment I stepped out of my car, the guards that were positioned outside and instructed to push me away marched towards me immediately with their expressions grim."Mr. Thorne, we have strict orders from Mrs. Thorne—" one of the guards started as he reached for his taser."Get out of my way," I growled, as I faced him head-on because I already told myself I wasn’t going back to my house without my wife by my side. "I have everything settled now and I am seeing my wife right now, and if you want to stop me, you'll have to shoot me."They must have seen the desperation in my eyes a

Elsie’s POVEven after the police drove away with Victoria and we were taken inside the hospital alongside the hired guards, it felt like I was in some sort of trance."Careful! Do not touch the affected clothing without gloves!" one of the arriving doctors shouted as they rushed him inside and I tried to get close to him."Madam... back away," the doctor said, "don't breathe the fumes.""Marcus, oh my god, I’m so sorry," I choked out with tears running down my face as I realized the severity of the whole situation. He was hurt because of me and I couldn't even start to imagine what would have happened if he hadn’t come to my rescue.As he was rolled into the emergency unit, only then did I dare to breathe but then, I gasped as a stinging sensation on my left hand caught my attention.I looked closer and felt my stomach drop. A splash of the acid must have touched me because that particular spot was red and severely irritated, making me whimper in pain."Mrs. Thorne! You're hit!" one

Elsie’s POVWaking up the next morning felt entirely different from any other day because it still felt too good to be true.I couldn’t believe that one minute, I lost Damien and was on the verge of losing myself and now, I had everything complete once again. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, my first conscious thought wasn't a panicked survey of my surroundings to make sure a gun wasn’t pointed to my head and it was a refreshing start.The people who tormented me were finally behind bars and I was more than grateful to Damien for being supportive because if it was up to me, they would have ruined me long ago.I rolled onto my side with a contented sigh with my hand automatically resting over my big belly that was getting bigger by each day. Damien was already awake and was lying on his side as well and was staring down at me with a protective look in his gaze that gave me warmth. Although he always acted like this wasn't taking a toll on him, there was no denying the
