Dominic POV

I had gotten home that evening and was about to head into my house when my phone rang. It was an unknown number and I wondered who it was. I was skeptical about picking up the call but regardless, I still picked up the call to hear from whosoever had called me.

"Dominic Maximus speaking," I said but got no response from the other hand. "Hello," I shouted to the phone but still no response after a few seconds. The call ended and a message popped on my phone. I gasped when I saw that it was a picture of my daughter standing in front of her school gate. There was also a caption on the picture and it sounded like a warning.

"Your daughter could be next. Watch out and stay away from finding out about what happened five years ago. "

I reread the message over and over again until I got another call. This time, it was from My investigator Mr. Paul. I picked up the call and what I heard from him shocked me.

"Your wife met with her brother today," he informed me.

    Charlene POV I screamed as the lights flickered back on, momentarily blinding me. And then I saw him. My husband, Dominic, lying on the couch, blood pooling around him. My heart pounded in my chest as I stumbled forward, calling out his name. "Dominic!" I cried out as I reached his side. "What happened?" He didn't respond. I could see that he was breathing, but his eyes were closed and he looked so pale and the back of his head was bleeding profusely. Panic gripped me as I realized that something was seriously wrong. "Wake up, Dominic!" I shook his shoulder, but he remained unresponsive. I felt like I was going to be sick. "Please, wake up." I reached for my phone, fumbling with the buttons as I dialed 911. "My husband is hurt," I explained to the operator, my voice shaking. "Please send an ambulance." Just then, I heard footsteps on the stairs. Zenobia had come down to see what was happening. "What's going on?" she asked, her eyes widening as she saw her father lying on the couc

    Charlene POV I sat on the chair beside Dominic's hospital bed and placed my head on the bed and closed my eyes, trying to block out the sounds of the hospital. The beeping machines, the footsteps of the nurses, and the distant chatter of other patients all blended into a disorienting cacophony. I must have dozed off, because the next thing I knew, I felt someone rubbing my arm. I opened my eyes to see Dominic looking back at me, concern etched on his face. "Maria, are you okay?" he asked, using a name that was not mine.I was taken aback. "Who's Maria?" I asked, feeling confused. Did he just mistake me for someone else? Dominic's brow furrowed. "What do you mean? You're Maria, my wife." My heart sank. "Dominic, I'm not Maria. I'm Charlene, your wife. You were attacked, remember? You're in the hospital."I explained to him wondering how he couldn’t even remember my name and why he was suddenly acting strange. Dominic looked at me blankly. "Attacked? Hospital?" he repeated as if s

  • Married for Revenge    pretending to have a memory loss

    Dominic POV I heaved a deep sigh as I watched my daughter and Charlene leave the room. I felt bad for lying to them about my memory loss whereas I had not lost any of my memory. It was just a cover-up in trying to find the killer. Someone had attacked me in my home and until I found who that person was, I was going to continue to feign the memory loss because that would enable me to find out who the killer was and by doing that, I won’t bring any harm to my family. ‘’what would you like me to do for you, sir?’’ Miss Donna asked as she stood by my bedside staring at me. I looked toward her wondering if she could be a part of what was happening around me. She was there too when the lights in the house suddenly went off. With what was happening, I knew that there was no one to trust around me including Charlene. It was after she met her brother that I got attacked in my home. I wondered why that had happened to me. ‘’Sir,’’ Miss Donna called for my attention and I turned to face he

Once I knew that he was away, I explained to paul about everything that had happened and who I suspected to be behind everything that was happening to me. ‘’what do we do about this?’’ he asked me. ‘’I would love to meet y

    Charlene POV I heaved a deep sigh as I stood at the front of the ward where Dominic was admitted. In my hands was a flask given to me by Miss Donna who had prepared a meal for Dominic. After picking up Jackson at the bus station, we went home for a moment and then only returned to Dominic at night. ‘’Charlene, come in,’’ Zenobia called for me as she noticed that I was staying at the entrance of the room. I walked in and looked towards Dominic who had his eyes on someone else. He was glaring at him and if looks could kill, I am sure that he would have stabbed him with his eyes. ‘’Are you the Jackson boy?’’ he was straightforward with his questions. ‘’yes Mr. Maximus,’’ Jackson stepped forward with the rose bouquet in his hand. He handed it over to Dominic but he didn’t receive it and continued to stare at the boy. Jackson looked at me with his eyes seeking my help. ‘’Dominic, this is Zenobia’s friend. The one we said we would pick up at the bus station and….’’ ‘’I know maria,’’ h

    Dominic POV Three days later, I was getting ready to be discharged from the hospital. my thoughts drifted to Edward's warning about Charlene. He had told me that she was also a target and that I needed to keep her close to me if I wanted to protect her. I couldn't shake the feeling of fear and anxiety that washed over me at the thought of her being in danger. Charlene had been there for me during my recovery, and I couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her also she was a part of the mystery of five years ago. I wondered if I had put her in danger by involving her in my plan to pretend to have memory loss. Maybe I should have kept her out of it, but I couldn't deny the comfort of having her by my side. The past few days she had been taking care of me made me realize that she also needed to be protected. I made a silent promise to myself to keep her safe and protect her from any harm that might come her way. I couldn't let anything happen to her. Not when she had been

I laughed at them when they tripped on top of each other and scolded them when they missed their steps. ‘’it’s not just in order,’’ Zenobia groaned and grabbed a bottle of water from the freezer on the right side of the room. She gulped the water and then heaved a deep sigh. ‘’what the hell are we supposed to do right now?’’ she asked. ‘’just like you said, we have a week to the first round and here we have achieved nothing. What are we supposed to do now?’’ she asked. I rubbed my forehead and looked at Jackson who was laying on the ground and staring at himself in the mirror. ‘’what do you think can be done, Jackson?’’ I asked him. He heaved a deep sigh and didn’t say anything for a moment. ‘’maybe Zenobia and I are not compatible enough and we shouldn’t be dancing together.

    Dominic POV I stared at myself in the mirror as I adjusted my brown tie. A dinner date? I wondered why I had agreed to that when our lives were in danger and we could be attacked anytime. I heaved a deep sigh as I continue staring at myself. I knew that not agreeing to the dinner date would raise a question and they might even find out that I was feigning my memory loss. I didn't want that to happen so I had to act quickly and pretend to be a lovely husband. When I heard footsteps heading towards the entrance of my room, I quickly changed my frown into a smile and turned to face the door. Zenobia and Charlene both walked in and when they saw me, they both stared at each other and started laughing. Their reason for laughing was the fact that I was wearing a formal while they had a casual outfit on. What they wore was a pair of jeans while I had a white suit on. I felt so embarrassed at that moment but soon, I started laughing alongside them. After the laughter died down, I pointed

I wore a red glittering dress that hugged my curves, and my hair was styled in loose waves that cascaded down my back. I looked around, scanning the area for any signs that the plan had begun. The night air was cool and crisp, and the sounds of the city echoed around me. I could hear the honking of car horns, the murmur of people's conversations, and the distant sound of music coming from a nearby nightclub. It was the perfect cover for what we were about to do. Tonight is the day we would attack and take back everything that was taken from us and then it will belong to us. There was no time to waste and so, I walked towards the entrance handing the invitation card that was given to me. It was the one Maria had given to me to use since I was going to perform as a ballet dancer. ‘Welcome,’’ The bouncer bowed his head as he collected the invitation card. I had come under the dis

Dominic faced me with a questioning look and heaved a deep sigh as he lowered his head. ‘’fine,’’ he muttered under his breath. I was glad that he acknowledged me and also that he got to accept my request.

    Charlene POV I groaned and forced myself out of bed, feeling exhausted and nauseous. I stumbled into the bathroom, where I brushed my teeth and splashed cold water on my face. As I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. I knew that today was going to be another tough day. I rinsed my mouth again for the umpteenth time that morning after throwing up. My baby wouldn’t let me rest and I wondered if he was reacting to the fact that I ate something bad or maybe because I was avoiding Dominic. According to what I heard from doctors, babies tend to understand how their mothers are feeling and they react due to what their mothers are facing. ‘’my baby,’’ I muttered as I rubbed my stomach. ‘’Can you understand the pain that I am going through at the moment?’’I asked my baby and even though I didn’t get a response, I knew that my baby understand how I felt. After I walked back into my room, I got a message from an unknown number. When I

The only thing she ever said to me was that everything was fine but aside from that, she wouldn’t even say anything else.’’Edward tapped his hands on the table and heaved a de

I looked up to see the man advancing on me."You bitch," he snarled, grabbing me by the arm and pulling me close. I could smell his foul breath, feel the roughness of his grip. ‘’you were given a job and that is getting rid of the pest around him but you failed.’’ Caroline stood up and walked towards me. She raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face. ‘’you were given a job to do but yet, you failed because you couldn’t deliver well!’’ she yelled at me and pushed me backward. "You attacked my son instead of going after Charlene," she hissed, her hand tightening into a fist. ‘’I saved your pathetic life years ago because I believed that you would be useful to me but it seemed that you are nothing but a piss of shit!’’ I tried to explain that I didn't mean to hurt him, but the words caught in

I dragged her out of the house when she was starting to get on my nerves by acting as if anyone wanted her back. I took her to Charlene’s studio and we both stand there staring at each other without talking for a few minutes.I folded my arms while waiting for her to say something, and explain her reasons for returning back but instead, she looked around the room chuckling as she pointed to the mirror and the couches that were in the room. ‘’I never thought that you would marry the woman that was responsible for my death,’’ she told me and scoffed. ‘’here you are acting as if everything is alright when I died and I lost my child Alexander.She was right about that because I never thought about him.

My thoughts were that the person who was at the door would be none other than Miss Donna. She was the only one with us in the house.‘’Mr. Maximus, you have a visitor!’’ she announced.A visitor? I exchanged looks with Dominic because the last time that I checked, we were not expecting Edward until evening and Dominic was working from home so I couldn’t figure out who was at the door.‘’Do you know w

My reflection was not what I expected from someone that had been finding it hard to sleep. I had expected that bags would be under my eyes but instead, my face was glowing.
