Dominic POV I heaved a deep sigh as I walked into prison. The warden gave us a high time before we could see Jeremy and when we finally did, he burst into tears. ‘’what are you crying for?’’ I asked him through gritted teeth. I was angry at the fact that he acted as if he didn’t do anything wrong. He had brought the cops and my mother to my home and lied against Charlene whereas he was being controlled. ‘’what the hell are you crying for?’’ I wanted to scream but then again, I knew that I could attract the attention of the warden so I let Edward do the talking since he was much more familiar with how things work. ‘’why are you treating your sister in such a crazy manner?’’ he asked him. ‘’you haven't spoken to her in years and now you return to spreading lies about your sister?’’ Jeremy placed his cuffed hands forward and sniffled. ‘’I had no choice but to do that. They wanted to get rid of my daughter and I had to….’’ he lowered his head. ‘’I don’t deserve to be called a father a
Charlene POV The smell of bleach was overwhelming as I fluttered my eyes open. The beeping of the machine beside me was overshadowed by the loud noise made by someone in the room with me. I struggled to open my eyes but then felt the light shining into my eyes. no one needed to tell me that I was in the hospital because I had come there a thousand times. ‘’you can stop talking loudly grandmother, she has woken up,’’ Zenobia’s loud voice was the first word that I heard clearly. She moved closer to me and waved her hand in my face. ‘’Are you alright Charlene?’’ she asked me. I blinked and nodded in response. I tried to get up from the bed but then my vision felt hazy and everything in the room became two then I felt a hand around my waist and I looked at Zenobia who smiled back at me. Her smile was everything that I needed at the moment, she was smiling brightly as she stared at me but it was all cut short by Caroline’s throat clearing. ‘’I need to speak with Charlene alone, my dear
Dominic POV ‘’you need to tell her everything!’’ Edward’s words kept resounding as I walked into the hospital. When I entered the lobby, I saw Zenobia and Jackson seated in one of the chairs and I wondered what they were doing there when they could be with Charlene. I curiously walked towards them and asked the question. ‘’what Is happening?’’ I asked them. ‘’Dad,’’ Zenobia smiled at me as soon as she saw me. ‘’you are here,’’ she stated and I nodded In response. ‘’what are you doing here when you should be with Charlene?’’I asked them. Jackson answered. ‘’Because Mrs. Caroline is with her,’’ he informed me. At the mention of my mother’s name, my heart started racing fast and I couldn’t imagine that my mother would be in the same room with Charlene. ‘’you both should stay here,’’ I said to them. ‘’But….’’ Zenobia argued but she was pulled back by Jackson before she could follow me. I rushed into the elevator and played with my fingers until I reached the floor where Charlene’s
Charlene POVI shifted uncomfortably in my chair as I sat down in front of my brother, my heart pounding in my chest. The police officer seated beside him and my lawyer who was Edward, sat beside me, silently observing the tense scene. Dominic was not allowed inside the investigation room but he waited for us outside of the cell. I hated that I had to be a bother to him and at the same time, I was glad that we were both going to overcome everything that was affecting us soon. He had forgiven me and the next thing to do was to find answers to the past.I couldn't bring myself to look at my brother. The betrayal felt too raw, too fresh. How could he have done this to me? I wanted to scream at him, to demand an explanation, but I knew that wouldn't help anything. He had always been like that while placing everything on me and walking free. I kept my eyes fixed on the table in front of me, my fingers nervously tracing the edge. I felt Edward's reassuring hand on my back, and I drew some
Dominic POV‘’what exactly are we doing here?’’ I frowned as I pretended to be reading through a newspaper as we sat in the hotel lobby where Edwards told me that Maria could be. Before the court summoning, I knew I had to find out if it was true. I had to know If Maria was alive or not.‘’I already told you that it is the hotel where your supposed dead wife is,’’ Edward replied and scoffed. ‘’There is no point talking to you any longer because I have explained myself over and over again about what this place is. ‘’he sighed and returned to reading the newspaper in his hand.‘’when will she be here?’’ I asked because I couldn’t wait to see her and what she had turned out to be.Edward removed the paper from his face and glared at me. ‘’why the hell are you not patient enough to wait for her.’’I also removed the paper from my face and glared at him. ‘’Because I don’t want you wasting my time. We have to do something about Charlene too; sitting here with you will not sort out anything.
Charlene POVI could feel my heart beat fast as I walked towards the place where Alexa's funeral was held. It was all part of the plan that Edward and Dominic had come up with. Since the court summoning was happening soon, they believed that I might be able to find a lead. At first, Dominic objected saying that it could lead the enemy onto us but I had to give it my all and so, I went there accompanied by Zenobia who wanted to pay her last tribute to the woman she always considered her idol.‘’We are here,’’ Zenobia announced and we stood behind those who had come to watch as Alexa was laid down to rest. As her coffin was laid to the ground, I closed my eyes as a lone tear escaped my eyes. I remembered how we used to be together back in high school. How she always stood up for me, how we had planned on how to be great dancers but all those dreams are now shattered and it seems that there was no way for us to make it all work out again. If someone had told me that our dreams would get
Charlene POV‘’What the hell is wrong with you!’’ Ryan shouted at me and yanked his hand freed from mine and rubbed it and then he pointed a finger at me. ‘’why am I here?’’ he asked. ‘’Are you trying to kill me too?’’ I palmed my forehead and then I slapped him across the face. ‘’stop acting like this!’’ I shouted at him. ‘’you know what is happening and yet, you keep pretending as If this wouldn’t affect you too.’’Ryan rubbed his cheek and spat out blood. ‘’I don’t care about whatever you think and I am not going to fall like Alexa if you are thinking like that!’’ he yelled at me and turned to leave. ‘’Do you even consider her as your friend?’’I asked him and then he stopped walking and turned to face me.‘’Do you think that I am like you who would abandon her friend for fame?’’he glared at me. I rolled my eyes and then I smacked my chest. ‘’you are talking about yourself because I never did this to you both. Who the hell turned their back on me when I needed their help huh!’’ I
Dominic POV ‘’I am going to make sure everything works out fine Charlene,’’ I kissed her forehead as I walked out of the house that morning. It was only two days to the court hearing and three since Alexa was buried and I discovered that Maria was alive. ''just stick to the plan and everything will be fine,'' I assured her. ''Alright,''she agreed. After she explained what happened to me, I called Edward that morning and he knocked on my door early that morning. ‘’I wish that I could come with you both and tell my brother the things he needed to hear,’’ she said and heaved a deep sigh. ‘’how I wish I could…’’ ‘’That is enough Charlene,’’ I stopped her before she could finish. ‘’I am going to get to the bottom of this and everyone will be freed,’’ I promised her and walked out of the house. When I got outside, Edward was already waiting for me inside his car. I entered, used the seatbelt without greeting him and he started the car and drove out of my mansion. ‘’I hate what is hap
