Married for Revenge The project
Dominic POV As I finished telling Alexa about my daughter's decision to withdraw from dance school, my phone rang. My mother's name flashed on my screen, and I answered it immediately. I knew that Alexa had reported to her immediately since they both worked in the same place together. "Hello, Mom," I said, trying to sound cordial. "Good afternoon, Dominic," my mother replied a hint of disapproval in her tone. "Why have you changed your mind about Zenobia's dance lessons?" she asked. ‘’I thought that Alexa would be the best coach for the international competition, and since Zenobia wanted her, she might as well learn from her. Why did you change your mind about it so fast?’’ more questions were thrown at me, and I heaved a sigh before answering them. "Mom, Zenobia is not comfortable in Alexa’s dance school, and she told me she wanted a change of coach. She's starting to like Charlene, and Charlene might be the one to train her for the competition." My mother didn’t say a word un

Charlene POV "If you let me down on this deal, I can assure you that you will be sorry for everything," Those were Dominic's words to me as we drove to the small town for the dance festival. Since they were on break, Zenobia offered to be a part of the festival, and Dominic had no choice but to accept her request. I couldn't believe I'd agreed to be the orphanage dance coach. I hadn't danced in a long time, but something about the kids' enthusiasm had convinced me to take on the challenge, and thanks to Zenobia for putting her faith in me. Dominic was beginning to see me in a new light. Dominic and I traveled to the small town where the orphanages were located, along with Zenobia. I couldn't help but notice Dominic's gaze on mine every few seconds as we drove. "What?" I inquired, looking over at him. I was perplexed why he kept staring at me as if he wanted to say something. "Nothing," he said quickly, his gaze returning to the road. But I could feel his gaze burning into my sk

Dominic Maximus Pov I clenched my fist as I watched Edward and Charlene speak. They were utterly oblivious to my presence, as if I didn't exist. My frustration boiled over, and I groaned out loud, unable to contain my anger. I had no idea why they acted as if I wasn't there. For goodness sake, I was in charge of the dance festival.What was Charlene doing with Edward? Did she not know he was the last person I wanted to see her with? And why did Charlene have that smug expression on her face?"what the hell are those two discussing?" I seethed. I frowned deeply, my mind racing with a million different thoughts. My jealousy and anger took over, and I could feel my blood boiling.But as I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, I realized that I couldn't let my emotions get the best of me. I needed to figure out what was happening between Edward and Charlene and why it bothered me. I was not supposed to be jealous of them. What the hell was this feeling? I thought. I stepp

Charlene POV I stepped into the large, empty room with wooden floors, the excitement in my heart barely containable. Today, I'm here to teach ballet to the children of the orphanage, and I can hardly wait to start. As I lead the children to the floor, classical music begins to play. They start moving, their arms and legs extending in perfect unison, and I feel my heart swell with pride. But then, I noticed that one of the girls, Mary, struggled to maintain her balance. Her legs wobble as she tries to follow the movements, and her expression is one of frustration. I stopped the class and moved to Mary. "Mary, it's okay. Don't worry if you're having trouble with your balance. Dancing ballet takes practice, and it's okay to fall sometimes. Let's work together to find your center of balance." "I'm sorry, Miss Charlene," Mary said, her voice trembling. "I want to do it right, but I keep falling." "That's okay, Mary. You're doing great. Let's try this - place one hand on the barre and

Dominic POV I sat in the conference room, trying to focus on the presentation in front of me. But my thoughts kept drifting back to Charlene. She was a constant distraction, even though I hated her. There was something about her that I couldn't shake, no matter how hard I tried.The kiss that we shared yesterday was something I never expected would happen. I was supposed to hate this woman for everything she had done to me but instead, I was thinking about her. I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. I couldn't afford to let my emotions get in the way of business, especially not when it came to Charlene. She was a thorn in my side but that thorn was starting to become a rose. "Mr. Maximus, I have Charlene on the line for you," my assistant said, interrupting my thoughts.I opened my eyes and nodded, reaching for the phone on the table in front of me. "Put her through," I said, my voice sounding gruffer than I intended.What the hell was she calling me fo

Charlene POV I stepped into the dance studio, the sound of music and laughter filling my ears. The children in my class greeted me with cheers and smiles, and I couldn't help but smile back at them."Hi, Miss Charlene!" they shouted."Hello, everyone!" I replied, trying to keep my excitement contained.As I walked around the room, I noticed Mary headed towards me and when she reached my side, she smiled at me. "Hey Mary," I greeted her, and she didn't reply instead, she moved closer to Zenobia and grabbed her hand. "We have something that we would love to show you," Mary announced. My eyes widened and I exchanged looks with Zenobia who nodded in response. "watch us as we dance Miss Charlene," Mary announced and then the music started playing in the room. I sat at the back of the dance studio, watching Mary and my stepdaughter Zenobia show off their dance routine. They moved in perfect synchronization, their bodies gliding across the floor as the music filled the room.I couldn't h

Charlene POV I heaved a deep sigh as I stared at the group of children behind the curtain. It was the final rehearsal before the festival that was going to take place the following day, and I wanted everything to be perfect. As their teacher and mentor, I had been working with them tirelessly for weeks, and I wanted them to do their very best. "Are you all ready?" I asked them and they all nodded their heads at me. "you already know how it will go so, Zenobia and Jackson will go first then the rest of you will follow okay?""yes, Miss Charlene," They all responded. I gave the children a high five, telling them to give it their all. They all cheered for me and hugged me, and I couldn't help but smile. Seeing them happy and excited made all the hard work worth it. when I looked through the curtain for the second time, my heart skipped a beat. Alexa had come, and I never expected to see her there. My eyes widened as I took in her presence. It made me wonder who had invited her. Was

Charlene POV The dance festival was finally here and I couldn’t be happier because I was able to teach the children for three weeks and bond with all of them. I never expected that someone who was rejected by society's few backs was starting to get back on her feet. I had thought that I wouldn’t be accepted by anyone but the accident that brought Zenobia and me together changed everything. It made me feel like a different person and I was grateful for that. ‘’I am so ready!’’ Zenobia shouted to Jackson as they both stretched. I smiled as I watched them and then I looked around me to see how the children were conversing with one another. The ballerinas had pink dresses on and the hip-hop dancer had a jean and white round necks on. They were all ready to dance that night and so was I. I joined the girls in dressing in a pink dress and it was the first time that I was going to dance on the stage again after five years. ‘’hey miss Charlene,’’ Jackson walked up to me.’’I am so gratefu

Married for Revenge The party
Charlene POV The Party, 08:30 pm I stepped out of the black limousine, Guards flanking me on both sides. 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
Married for Revenge One last Visit to my daughter
Charlene POVI watched as Maria heaved a deep sigh when I stopped the car in front of the orphanage home. ‘’Are you sure that you don’t want her to know that you are alive?’’ I asked before we both stepped out of the car.Maria nodded in response. ‘’what use would it be if she learns that I am alive only to know that I will die again?’’ she asked me and place the clown Mask on her face. ‘’it’s been five years Charlene and now, she has you to rely on so I wouldn’t want to add to the problem so I have to let her go. ‘’I didn’t say anything else and gave out of the car holding a bag of goodies we had brought in for the children. ‘’Everything will be fine,’’ I assured as we headed into the building. When we got in, almost all of the children were seated in the hall while waiting for us.‘’Miss Charlene!’’ The miss who was in charge of the children greeted us as we stood in front of the children.‘’hello Miss Christina,’’ I bowed my head as I greeted her. ‘’it is so lovely to see you,’’ s
Married for Revenge The way forward
Charlene POV Two days left, I sat beside Dominic and across from Edward while Maria was seated opposite Dominic. I could feel the tension in the room as they both stared intently at each other. I cleared my throat to gain their attention as to the reason why we all had gathered there. ‘’Listen up,’’I mutt ered and nudged Dominic on the shoulder. 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. While I had tried to convince him for two days about What Maria had told me, he had ignored me for a few hours while refusing to let Maria join us but after calling Edward and Informing him, he was able to help out and with his help, I got to set an appointment and we all gathered at our home in Dominic’s office. ‘’Your sources are right about the party and I also love your plan,’’ Maria spoke up after Edward told her about their plan. ‘
Married for Revenge Request and Appreciation
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
Married for Revenge The plan
Dominic POVI placed my hand on my table as I stared into Edwards's eyes. I had told him everything about Maria but he had not given any response to me yet. After informing him about Maria, I set up a meeting in my office to speak to him about what I thought about, and when she got there, we both sat down and stared at each other.‘’Are you going to keep staring at me?’’I asked him when it looked like he would not say anything. ‘’I heaved a deep sigh and rolled my eyes when he didn’t stop staring at me; instead, he was looking around. ‘’Edward!’’ I shouted his name. ‘’what Is happening?’’‘’why are we in your office instead of your home?’’ he asked and I wondered why he couldn’t see that I wanted alone with him.‘’Ever since Maria came to my house, Charlene had been avoiding me and she wouldn’t even talk to me. 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
Married for Revenge Her tears
Maria POV My heart was pounding as I stumbled backward, my hand flying up to my cheek where the man in the black mask had just slapped me. I heard a scream and realized it was my own. 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
Married for Revenge Why have you returned?
Dominic POVI never imagined that she would come to find me. After finding out that she was alive, I even hid it from Charlene because I didn’t want her to worry but Maria found her way into my home expecting that I would run into her arms. 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. I had believed that since Maria was alive, he woul
Married for Revenge She is Back
Charlene POVI burst into laughter as Dominic woke up and rubbed my stomach. ''hello baby!'' he said. It was morning and I didn’t get much sleep the previous night because Dominic and I had a round of sex that I couldn’t even count. It was an amazing night with him and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. ‘’Dominic!’’ I screamed out his name as he grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head then he kissed me on my lips.‘’I want to be with you today with no worries and I…..’’ he stopped suddenly when we heard a knock on the door. ‘’who is there!’’ he shouted at whosoever was at the door. 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
Married for Revenge A night of pleasure
Charlene POVI wiped my lips clean as I threw up again. One of the reasons why I had walked out on Dominic and Edward was because I felt nauseous and also dizzy. I had been having been facing insomnia lately and could barely sleep but I couldn’t tell Dominic because we were all faced with a lot of problems I would have loved to tell him but at the same time, I hated the fact that he was trying to remove me from joining them.I washed my mouth and stared at myself in the mirror. 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. I placed my hand on my stomach and heaved a deep sigh. ‘’my baby,’’ I closed my eyes. ‘’I am going to protect you, Zenobia, and also Stella. The three of us are going to live forever until the end,’’ I chuckled as I whispered to my child even though I knew that he couldn’t hear what I had said. I was glad that I got to speak to my child.‘’c
