All Chapters of The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

CHAPTER 101SELINA POV I was lying on my bed, staring at into space when the door opened without warning, two guards came in. I hadn't seen them before, they simply stared at me like a task to be checked off the list.  They indicated the door; I stood and followed, because the alternative was being made to follow. Over the course of last week, I had learned in the past several weeks that choosing to move was different from being moved, even when the destination was the same.The route was different from any I'd been taken before. Rather than the passages with recycled air, we used a staircase I hadn't known existed to arrive at a corridor where the ceiling height increased and the lighting shifted from industrial panels to something more considered. The building had an upper section that felt deli

CHAPTER 103CAIN POV I moved through it with two operators covering the intersecting hallways I left behind. A third operator had already established a defensive position at the junction twenty metres back. The emergency lighting had kicked in after the power cut. It was red-tinged and flashed intermittently, which was worse than darkness because it suggested clarity without providing it. Gunfire came from two separate directions. Someone on a lower level was shouting commands with a frenzy that suggested reaction than control.My earpiece was feeding me a continuous stream of fragmented updates."North secure.""Copy," I said."South taking contact, we need—""Hold

CHAPTER 105SELINA POV We were almost out.One of the operators found me crouched in the service corridor with Renata's escape route proving half-useful after all. He leaned down while his partner watched the corridor.“My name is Vasquez. Whitmore Team. Are you hurt?”I didn’t trust my voice so I just shook my head.He extended his hand to me. “Let’s get out of here, then!”I grabbed his hand and rose to my feet.  He moved with the efficient speed of someone who had done this before and intended to keep doing it. The second operator covered our back. The extraction route was clear. The gunfire was becoming a distant echo as we got

CHAPTER 107SELINA POVThe light had a rhythm to its speed. The bed vibrated faintly beneath whatever surface I was lying on. The sound arrived next: an overlapping of voices, equipment beeping and traffic noise transmitted through the vehicle's frame.I was in an ambulance. I jerked upright before the thought was fully formed. I felt the van jolt to the right as it sped past a traffic light. Someone placed a hand on my arm, firm and calm. " Easy, you're safe. You're in the ambulance."My mind went to Damien. I turned before the medic finished the sentence.He was on the stretcher opposite me with an IV line running from his right arm to a bag suspended above him. He was pale, like someone that had a rendezvous with d

CHAPTER 109SELINA POVThe first cracks of dawn came in through the window as I stirred awake. The pain of sleeping in a cramped position instantly made itself known.The chair had not improved overnight. The blanket I didn’t remember using had slipped from my shoulders at some point and the room had the mild chill of hospital air conditioning that didn't consult anyone about their preferences.I looked toward the bed; Damien was already awake.He wasn't watching television or working through whatever operational response to Kayden's escape because I knew his mind never switched off. He was simply watching me, and from the set jaw line and the crease on his face, I knew it had been for a while.
