All Chapters of The Wife Who Walked Away Richer: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Elsie’s POVThe next day, I couldn’t keep lazing about, so I decided to pay Damien a visit at his office. Since I wasn’t resuming yet because of the honeymoon, I needed to be productive.Damien wasn’t even supposed to be working, but he said he had something important that he was trying to put in place. He only went some days and today was one of them. I, on the other hand, only worked from home because my secretary kept me updated on everything.That day, after Damien left for the office, I went downstairs and stopped in the kitchen to see if the supplies I needed to bake some pastries were available. Seeing that they were not, I decided to stop at a grocery shop to get more. Since they barely had pastries, the shelf was mostly empty.I took a quick shower and put on some shorts and a t-shirt before heading downstairs. I had my personal driver, but I just wanted to give myself a little drive. When I got downstairs, I decided to let Jophiel know that I was leaving the house.“Jophiel,

Damien’s POVWatching Elsie sleep was quickly becoming the most productive part of my morning. There was a kind of peace in it that made me hope it would last forever.For years, I had viewed my life as unproductive and only business oriented, but with Elsie in it, each day became better than the last and I was loving every bit of it.As I continued watching her sleeping form, I reached out and gently adjusted the covers around her. After we successfully merged our companies, I was eager to see where it goes since I already trusted her so much.The merger of Phantom and her company hadn't just been a financial exploration, it was the best decision we could ever have made as a couple. We quickly became the talk of the town and shortly after, our stocks had hit a five-year high within forty-eight hours of the announcement. But more importantly, the paperwork was airtight.Apart from working together, I had personally ensured that Elsie held the majority shares because I didn’t want her

Elsie’s POVDamien drew little circles on my back as we walked out and I could practically feel the gazes of the other customers on us, making me blush red because Damien was clearly making it known that I belonged to him and honestly, I liked the sound of that.When we got to the car, he opened the door for me before hurrying to his side to get in as well. I had just gotten in and was arranging my dress before shutting the door when Damien got inside the car. Without giving me a chance to react, he pulled me to his side immediately as his eyes raked over me hungrily."Damien," I breathed, the name hitching in my throat as heat filled me."I've been wanting to do this since the moment you walked into that living room," he rasped as his forehead leaned against mine. “I have been wanting to have you all to myself and away from the prying eyes of other people.”“Damien,” I breathed against his lips as I couldn’t help but melt into his arms. He didn't give me a chance to respond as his mo

Damien’s POVThings have gotten a little intense since the merging of our companies and although I already knew our workload would be more than before, nothing could possibly prepare me for this.I wasn’t complaining because things were going extremely smoothly and anytime I saw Elsie’s name next to mine on the documents and files, a sense of pride filled me because she was such an amazing woman.Speaking of Elsie, I realized I hadn’t talked to her all day due to the workload. With a sigh, I glanced at the time and realized it was already lunch time and since I knew Elsie forgot to get lunch sometimes, I decided to get her some food as well.I was just about to reach for my phone to check on her when a knock sounded on my door.“Come in,” I called out without looking up from my tablet because I expected my secretary with the afternoon brief so I thought she was the one but when a flowery scent reached my nose, I knew it wasn't Jophiel.It was a scent I hadn’t smelled in over a decade

Elsie’s POVMy heart hammered hard against my chest as I stared at Katie’s smug smile and hell, I wished I could wipe it off with a hard slap. Inside of me was a mess as a lot of thoughts were going haywire, but on the outside, I looked totally calm."Are you sure she’s the woman I’ll never be?" Katie drawled again when Damien didn’t answer. She leaned in just an inch closer to Damien and her boldness stunned me. "Because high school was a long time ago, Damien, but some habits are impossible to break. You always did have a taste for things that were... delicate. Until you got bored.""Get out," Damien said, now furious. I could see him clench and unclench his fists like he was trying not to punch her in the face. She should have been terrified of this but instead, she only let out a small smile."I was leaving anyway. This party is becoming dreadfully dull." She then turned her gaze to me, her eyes going cold. "Good luck, Elsie. You are going to need it once the butterfly effect wear
