The Wife He Never Wanted Chapter fifty six
We didn’t speak during the drive.Damien kept one hand on the wheel, the other gripping his phone like it was the only thing keeping him sane. I stared out the window, trying not to picture Liam sitting next to my mother. Every minute felt too long.The address led us to an old estate on the outskirts of the city. Tall iron gates. Long driveway lined with trees. The kind of place that looked abandoned until you noticed the lights on inside.Damien stopped the car fifty meters from the entrance.“We go in together,” he said. “No matter what she says.”I nodded.We walked up the driveway. No one stopped us. No guards appeared. The front door was unlocked.Inside, the house was quiet. Too quiet.We followed the sound of soft music coming from the main living room.My mother sat on a long couch, one leg crossed over the other. Liam was beside her, eating cookies from a plate on the table. He looked unharmed. When he saw us, his face lit up.“Mom! Dad!”He jumped off the couch and ran to u

Damien stared at his phone like it had personally betrayed him.I grabbed his arm. “What do you mean he gave you up?”“He handed over everything,” Damien said tightly. “Bank records. Old contracts. The names of people I’ve used over the years. Enough to open federal investigations against me and half my company.”He started moving down the hallway. I followed.“We’re not waiting until sunrise,” he said. “We move now.”We reached the elevator when his phone rang again. He answered without slowing down.He listened for three seconds, then stopped walking.His face changed.He ended the call and looked at me.“That was my contact inside the federal building,” he said. “Your father didn’t make a deal with real agents. The people who took him are working for your mother. They’re not feds. They’re hers.”The elevator doors opened. We stepped inside.I tried to process what he just said. “So my father is with her now?”Damien nodded once. “And he gave them my mother’s location in exchange fo

Marcus was still laughing when Damien’s men dragged him out. Blood trailed across the concrete floor behind him.I couldn’t move.My mother was alive. She had tried to have my children killed. She wanted Damien to come to her alone.Damien pulled me toward the exit. “We need to go. Now.”We drove straight to the hospital. Neither of us spoke. The silence felt heavier than anything we could say.When we reached Victoria’s floor, a nurse stopped us outside the ICU.“She’s awake,” the nurse said. “But she’s asking for both of you.”We stepped inside.Victoria’s eyes were open. She looked exhausted, but alert. The moment she saw us, she tried to sit up.“Don’t,” I said quickly, moving to her side.She ignored me and grabbed my wrist with surprising strength.“Your mother,” she rasped. “She contacted me three years ago. After the first time Damien was shot. She offered me money. Power. Everything I thought I wanted back then.”Damien stepped closer. “What did she want in return?”Victoria’

Marcus watched me like he already knew how this would end.I kept staring at the gun on the table between us.“You killed Elena,” I said.He didn’t even try to deny it. “She started asking too many questions. Bad habit.”My mind was spinning. Damien was waiting outside. Victoria was fighting for her life in the hospital. My father was probably already trying to buy his way out of jail.I needed more time.“What do you really want?” I asked.Marcus leaned forward. “Your father walks free. The evidence stays buried. In return, you and your family disappear. New names. New city. You never come back.”“That’s it?”He smiled. “Almost. One more thing.” He slid a second phone across the table. “Call Damien right now. Tell him you made a deal. Tell him to drop every charge against your father.”I didn’t touch the phone.Marcus’s smile disappeared. “Do it, or I send people to the hospital right now. Victoria won’t survive another visit.”My stomach went cold.I picked up the phone and dialed.

I sat in one of those stiff plastic chairs in the hospital, Damien stayed right next to us, still pale and exhausted, but he wouldn’t leave.Victoria had been in surgery for nearly four hours.Every time the double doors swung open, my stomach twisted. I kept replaying the moment she threw herself in front of Damien, the look in her eyes right before she collapsed. She’d finally chosen us… and now she might pay for it with her life.Damien’s voice was quiet when he finally spoke.“I should’ve stopped her,” he muttered. “I saw her moving. I could’ve pulled her back.”I shook my head. “She made her choice. For once, she wanted to do the right thing.”He didn’t reply. Just stared at the floor, jaw clenched tight.A doctor finally came out around three in the morning. He looked tired, but not grim, and that tiny sliver of hope made my chest ache.“She made it through surgery,” he said. “The bullet missed her heart by less than an inch. She lost a lot of blood, but she’s stable for now. Sh

I held Liam and Rose so tight my arms wouldn’t stop shaking. Rose was sobbing into my neck, her little body trembling. Liam was trying so hard to be brave, but I could feel his heart hammering against me.“I’m not putting them down,” I said, my voice cracking but loud. “If you want to shoot someone, shoot me. Not my kids.”My father didn’t lower the gun. He just looked at me like I was throwing a tantrum.“Don’t make this harder than it has to be, Lila,” he said, sounding almost tired. “I gave you every chance. I tried to protect this family the only way I knew how. But you keep choosing him. You keep choosing them over your own blood.”“Protect us?” A broken laugh tore out of me. “You shot Damien. You poisoned him. You tried to have our kids taken. And now you’re pointing a gun at your own daughter and grandkids. That’s not protection, Dad. That’s you being a monster.”For a second, something flickered across his face—maybe regret. But it was gone before I could be sure.“I built eve
