All Chapters of The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21Selina POV I was at my cubicle working on mail correspondence Priya gave me to sort. My colleagues still made jokes and complain about the upper class but they fell quiet whenever I was within earshot. It never bothered me and I encouraged them to continue their joke but they were unwilling. Soon, I got tired and left them to be. Today’s work was brutal and my vision began to blur. I rubbed my eyes, yawning as I covered my mouth with the back of my hand. I glanced at the time. It was almost lunch time. I blinked, staring at the clock that would rewind time. My stomach growled. Thanks to a freak accident in the kitchen this morning, I had no breakfast. I closed the laptop lid to consider my options, the energy and patience to deal with my colleague’s stares and murmurs today was at an all time low. I whisked out my phone from my bag and called Martin.Martin was a project partner from college who became a friend. He was on the school football team and was tipped to go pr

Chapter 23Selina POVThe week dragged and people were to be blamed not work.I sat at my cubicle updating donor correspondence while the office was alive around me. Keyboard clacked, conversations extended beyond cubicles and the smell of coffee was ever present. On the surface nothing had changed but nothing was the same anymore.I have been cordoned off, if you could call it that. It wasn’t far fetched to say that they treated me like I was some expensive glass they couldn’t afford to break. I finished reviewing a mailing list and stretched my shoulders. I could feel my muscles and spine protesting loudly. I looked outside my cubicle and met Priya’s stare. We held each other stare for a moment before she turned to focus on her workstation. My phone moved on the table as it vibrated. I checked the screen and it was a text from an unknown number: I thought you should know.My stomach tightened as my curiosity rose. I held my breath as I opened the first image. Damien and Amora le

Chapter 25Selina's POVWalking into the compound, I yawned and clutched my sling bag. The staff seemed a bit busy than usual. Taking a few steps more, I shook my head free of that observation. It was probably the tiredness talking.Today was another day of being left by Priya. How long was she going to keep this up before she realized I wasn’t going to quit that easy? My mind drifted to Cain. He seemed like an interesting kind of man. After all, it wasn’t everyday you saw a man taking on five men and still having the upper hand.Although, not without my help, even if he had been doing fine without it. The most interesting about him was that despite everything, he never lost control. He might as well have been on the beach rather than in an alley fighting. It was paradoxes like him that were both interesting and dangerous… I glanced up and realized the staff were avoiding my gaze. They definitely looked jumpy. An imperceptible frown appeared on my forehead as I made my way into th

CHAPTER 27Selina POVWhere am I ? What happened? Where are we going to? There was a dull ache in my cheeks and slight pressure at the back of my mouth. My eyes flashed open for a second and the images were blurry. I saw the shifting image of a catheter in my mouth.My head spun as the pain exploded through my body like fireworks. The siren of the ambulance sounded a world away. My eyes opened and closed several times of their accord as they found the lights too harsh for their taste. I couldn’t move my body despite my best efforts. I decided to try something smaller. Despite the painful efforts I mustered, I couldn’t even shift a bit. My groggy eyes opened and I noticed the belt that kept me in place. The paramedic kept calling my name but I was in too much pain to answer. My baby. My shoulders and back felt like they were on fire as I moved my arms slowly to my stomach.“No. Stay still!” The paramedic cautioned as she noticed my hands moving. The pain

Chapter 29SELINA POV. I was on my bed, lying down, still like a statue and lost in space. It was several days after the fall, I have been discharged from the hospital. Damien had insisted I be brought home and cared for by a team of world class doctors and nurses. It’s been three days since the last bandages were taken off but I still felt the tightness on my skin where they wrapped before. One of the doctors already told me it was normal to feel some stiffness, that normal sensations will return as blood circulation continued normally. The bruises were healing nicely and the doctors also said they weren’t deep enough to leave scars. I was on the mend physically but I didn’t know what to make of my emotional wounds. To say past few days had been very unsettling would be putting it mildly and it was all due to Damien.I no longer recognized the man staring back at me whenever I glanced at him. He was still the same immaculately dressed, restrained stoic man I married but something
