Chapter 28

Damien POV

I stood at the door, my breathing ragged as I barely tried to contain my temper. The nerve on her, ordering me to leave the room. I bet she wouldn’t have told Martins to leave the room.

After leaving my meeting and breaking some traffic laws to get here, she treats me like this? Ordering me to leave in the presence of the doctor?  She could have swept the floor with me while she was at it! A stranger would even be treated with more dignity than

  • The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore   Chapter 77

    Chapter 77Damien POVThe screens showed surveillance tapes of areas in the city. The phones are constantly being worked by the operatives. Several cups of coffee are beside the laptops. The eye rubbing and soothing of foreheads were becoming more frequent. I stared around the office and remained seated. I have been moving around the makeshift operations room trying to get first hand report of what the analysts were doing and finding out.However, over the past few hours I had remained motionless. I sat down and waited. Then took the decisions that needed to be taken. I gave orders with so much levity and distance that made the analysts blink a few times. Cain and Marcus noticed it but they never said anything. Marcus went close to a screen, he had a document in his hand. “Most of the leads we have failed. The abandoned warehouses, fake identities and traffic cameras footage have been dead ends. I think I know why.”He had my attention with that statement. I leaned forward as he con

    Kayden POVChapter 76The doctor immediately demanded that will sanitized the room. The guards came in and took away the used plates she had breakfast with, the sheets were changed. He ordered everyone out and I moved outside. Selina needed her privacy after all.I leaned on the wall, watching the doctor through the slightly ajar door. He examined her head for signs of concussion. He proceeded to get readings of her vitals. I stared at my wristwatch with a scowl on my face. I was using losing the one commodity I couldn’t afford: time. I hated waiting. It had nothing to do with patience. Waiting meant being uncertain and months of planning had eliminated any uncertainty that was possible. Now, I stood here having to wait for a doctor to determine if my carefully laid out plans would be thrashed because of one guard’s incompetence.She looked pale except the places where her skin were bruised. Her complete attention was on her baby. At least, we agreed on something: the baby’s health

    Chapter 75Selina POV My heart pounded as the air ran through my face. So close! My chest burned and my muscles were beginning to ache but I ignored the pain as my breathing came in hard spurts. The exit was so close I could almost taste the alluring scent of freedom. I was going to make it. Come just a few more steps. You can do this! My body was protesting violently. The edge of my vision began to blur. Not now. I thought about my baby; the determination and adrenaline that surged through my body sharpen my vision. I pushed myself forward, this was my only chance.My balance was suddenly upended as a muscular hand with a vice-like grip grabbed my arm. No! I tried to pull my arm out of the grip but it was no use. I gathered all my strength and without thinking, slammed into him. He cursed under his breath as my unexpected move sent him crashing to the floor. I picked up myself, a line of pain shot through my arm and took a few steps. I stretched my hands to touch the gate when

    CHAPTER 74SELINA POV — The OpeningI had stopped counting the days and started to measure time by the change in the guards rotation and the time my food was brought to me.Routine kept the panic contained and I was able to able to function.As long as I'm alive, I told myself, there's still a chance.I had also been watching covertly. I'd learned early that obvious observation got me more scrutiny, placed the guards on alert which gave me with less room to work. So I watched in sideways and stolen glances rather than long stares or looks.I knew which guards were disciplined and which weren't. The younger one with the mohawk hair checked his phone every time he thought no one was looking. The muscular guard stepped out for cigarettes at the same interval like clockwork. One of them talked too much to the others, filling silence out of nervous habit, which meant his attention split constantly between conversation and duty.And then there was Sefu.He wouldn’t hold my gaze. Discomfort

    CHAPTER 73DAMIEN POV I had spent the better part of a day suspecting the wrong man and it was almost impossible to say that out loud.The operations room had thinned out around us. I had the immigration records open on the screen beside me and a travel history that placed him on another continent for every single date that mattered.He hadn't done any of it. I closed the file and looked at him. "I was wrong about you."I didn't dress it up further than that. Cain didn't strike me as a man who needed cushioning. "The evidence pointed at you. I followed it. I was wrong, and I don't have time to be precious about admitting that."He held my gaze for a moment. "If our positions were reversed," he said, "I'd have done the same thing."Cain was a man who understood more than most, the cutthroat nature of our world. "I need your help," I said."You have investigators," he answered."Investigators are useful for tracing money and reading documents. They don’t understand or the world he ope

    CHAPTER 72DEREK POVMy office had stopped looking like an office somewhere around midnight. Now it looked where someone was having a breakdown. Documents covered every flat surface and three laptops open to different windows of the same investigation.Nobody had said much in the last hour. There wasn't energy left for conversation. We'd given up chasing symptoms my lawsuit, Caleb's fraud, the tabloid stories and started digging for whatever sat underneath all of it. So far, every thread circled back to one name. Wren Castillo. So we went began the hunt.Dean had dragged in a whiteboard from somewhere and was building a single timeline. I was halfway through a registry search when Caleb went quiet in a way that made me look up."I never signed this," he said.I crossed the room and read over his shoulder. His name was on a company document I'd never heard him mention. It got worse, he was also listed as director, not investor. He checked the incorporation date twice, like exhaustion

How many nights had I spent alone in these expensive sheets, staring at the ceiling, wondering where he really was? Who he was really with? And what he was doing? It was routine at th
