power couple!!!
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
Dominic POV‘’Do you think that you can find out the truth like this?’’ Jeremy asked me. ‘’you came here lying that my daughter is fine because you wanted to protect your wife!’’ he shouted at me.‘’That wife is your sister and right now, she is in trouble and we need to protect her so I don’t understand why you are acting as if I had done something wrong. You need to protect your daughter and I can assure you that she would be fine!’’Jeremy scoffed and slammed his hand on the table. ‘’you have no idea where everyone one of them is right now! They are watching us even as we speak so let me tell you something, I am not going to tell you anything at the expense of my daughter.’’I frowned at him wondering why he had suddenly changed his mind. He had shown signs of telling me what I needed to know but he suddenly changed his mind and I wondered why. ‘’why the hell are you changing your mind when you know the truth!’’ I asked him and placed my hand on the table. ‘’I know you are being f
Charlene’s povWhen Dominic came home, I could tell something was wrong. He had a serious look on his face, and his eyes were distant." Charlene," he said, sitting down next to me on the couch. "We need to talk."I felt a knot form in my stomach. This couldn't be good. "What's wrong?" I asked, my heart pounding in my chest. All I could think about at that moment was the fact that whatever he heard from Jeremy was not good. I was scared about what would happen if Jeremy were to go against our plans. ‘’what is happening Dominic?’’ I asked him.He took a deep breath. "It's about Jeremy, your brother."I froze. "What about him?" yet another question that I needed answers to but still, Dominic was taking his time before saying anything and I wondered why he was hesitating to tell me what I wanted to hear. After a moment of silence, he began to explain everything that had happened. About how Jeremy had been involved with a drug trafficking ring and had sacrificed himself to protect his daug
Charlene POVThe day of the court hearing arrived and I couldn't help but feel nervous. I had never been to court before, let alone for something as serious as this. I knew that Jeremy had made a terrible mistake, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He was my brother, after all, and at the same time, I hoped that he wouldn’t say anything that might affect either of us.‘’Everything is going to be fine,’’ Dominic assured me as we were about to leave the house and I decide to rely on that even though a lot was going through my mind.As soon as we stepped out of the car, we were bombarded by reporters. They were asking if I was my brother's accomplice in the death of Alexa. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I tried to ignore them and walk past them, but they kept following us and asking the same question over and over again.‘’Are you an accomplice of your brother?’’ ‘why did you kill Alexa?’’ ‘’Are you guilty of the crimes that are behind directed at you!’’Dominic tried
