บททั้งหมดของ FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN : บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Elliot had not slept the whole night. Since he had put his faith in the police finding her, Austin expected him to return to the mansion and wait for an update but Elliot remained in his car until the next morning. The police were yet to make any leads, but they were doing a good job in stopping the reporters from approaching Elliot. The area was barricaded and only Austin was allowed near Elliot. By now, the entire city has caught wind of Serena's abduction.“I just spoke with the commissioner, sir.” Austin said. “They think this isn't a direct abduction case since you haven't received any ransom call or demands.”“They might be right,” Elliot responded and stepped out of the car. “It's been twelve hours since she went missing.”He looked at Austin. “If by noon there's no call yet, order the commissioner to search the entire city. I'll foot whatever it costs.”Austin nodded, although an emotion different from understanding was written on his face.“What?” Elliot asked.“You should g

Elliot's POV Austin walked behind me as we reached the garage. “Boss, let me drive.”“Why?”He stuttered then said, “There's no need for you to drive since I am available.”“Get in.” I said, ignoring his suggestion and starting the engine. As I rolled the car out of the compound, Austin asked, “Are we heading back to that restaurant?”“No. We're going to see the commissioner.”Austin said with a hint of hesitation, “But sir, I don't think they can deploy the officers through New York city just to find-”I glanced at him.He shifted. “What I mean is, there are no leads and the police think that she might not have been abducted or perhaps she went away for a while and doesn't want to be found.” “What's the fuss then? Let the commissioner say that to my face.” I replied and I saw him shift uneasily in his seat.He took out his phone and remained focused on it while I focused on driving and trying to put the worry in my chest away.It was clear the kidnapper wasn't after me, but I sti

Serena's POV Upon arriving at the mansion, I immediately went into the guest room, which had now become my room since this ruse began.I stood naked in the bathroom, in front of the mirror checking the small bump that had begun to form. It was intact. I sat against the tub and breathed a sigh of relief. Back there, I really thought I was going to lose my baby. Nothing else flashed before my eyes, not even my life. For a second there, I wished I had chosen a quiet life with my baby instead of this involvement with the Vances that was going to lead to my end. The warm bath helped calm my nerves, and I felt better when I stepped out and put on my nightgown ready for bed. The baby must have been stressed after all that ordeal, I should get enough rest.I tried to imagine that was what Doctor Layla would say, since I couldn't reach her.Suddenly, I heard the door open, and when I looked up it was Elliot with a cold expression on his face.“Are you in love with Jenson?”“What?” “Answe

“I owe you then!” Serena replied, her smile reaching her ears.Elliot grabbed her hands, “Let's go.”“Just a minute.” She stopped and turned to Jenson. “Can we speak for a moment?”“Of course.” Jenson agreed. Elliot followed behind them until Serena stopped him with, “In private. I'll be right back.”At a corner of the building, Serena spoke in low tones. She was visibly scared and didn't know how to broach the topic.“Uhm.. how's your injury? Hope you aren't hurt elsewhere?”Jenson shook his head. “I'm okay, Serena. Are you? You look frightened.”Serena smiled to wade it off. “I get tense when I have to sit in front of people questioning me, it's nothing.”“Okay?” He arched his brow.“I just want to know if you're sure you really didn't see anything at the scene?” She said it quickly, as if to get it over and done with.“No, I didn't.” He said slowly. “I thought you asked this already?”“Well, I just wanted to be sure since I will be questioned.” She replied. “There's nothing to wor

He opened the door.Kelvin and Karen would not have noticed Finn's presence, if he did not knock the stool by the door down. Shocked, both Karen and Kelvin stood from the couch abruptly and turned to Finn.“What is this?” Finn asked, staring at both of them.“What?” Kelvin replied.“Hitting on my fiancé, Kelv?”“It's not what you think, bro.” Kelvin denied. “She was in a sad mood about her friend's abduction. The movie was just a means to-”“-to make her feel happy.” Finn completed, and then burst out laughing suddenly. “And what does that mean? Why does her happiness matter to you?”“Please,” Karen started. “Please don't start a fight because of me. I asked for the movie out of boredom. I'll leave now.”She picked up her phone from the glass table, and with a short glance at Kelvin, started for the door. But Finn grabbed her arm the moment she walked by him.Karen gasped, “What are you doing?” He turned and dragged her out of the room, straight for his bedroom. He pushed her in and
