what do you think will happen once charlene finds out about the truth about Dominic and her family?
Charlene POV I rubbed my head as I fluttered my eyes open. I rolled to the other side. I noticed that it was empty and surprisingly cold. My head pounded as If I was hit by a hammer. I stood up from the bed and looked around hoping to see a sign of Dominic but he was nowhere to be found. ‘’Dominic,’’ I called for him but his presence was no longer in the room and it seemed that he was nowhere to be found. Even though I had a drink like a maniac last night, I could still remember a few things about what had happened between us. Dominic and I had made love and that was the first time he had shown his passionate side. Our past sex couldn’t be considered as something romantic because each time we always have sex, he never allows me to touch him and would continue to say crazy things about me but last night was special. I had confessed to loving him and I was glad that I did. I stood up from the bed and stretched as I headed toward the bathroom. Because I couldn’t find Dominic inside th
Charlene POV After we finished taking the pictures with the directors and the children, I headed towards my room to pack my luggage as Dominic had informed us that we were leaving the orphanage that evening. I was in rush towards my room while also thinking about the envelope sent to me that I didn’t notice that I had collided with someone. ‘’I am sorry,’’ I apologized not realizing that the person I had apologized to was Alexa. It was until I raised to face her that I realized that she was the one in front of me. ‘’if you knew who was standing in front of you, I doubt that you would say something of such,’’ she said as she grinned at me. I heaved a deep sigh, my heart beating fast as I raised my head to face her. ‘’what the hell do you want from me?’’ I asked him frowning at her. Alexa laughed and then she started circling me. ‘’didn’t you get the message that I sent to you this morning?’’ she asked and I gasped out loud knowing that she was responsible for the envelope. I wasn’
Dominic POV The drive back to the house was In silence and instead of seating in front of the car with me. Charlene chooses to seat the back of the car with Zenobia. I watched as they both discussed the orphanage home and I was glad that I bought my daughter along with us. She was ecstatic and I had never seen her so happy like that ever. She was always so gloomy ever since her mother died but since she became friends with Charlene, she had suddenly changed and I was glad that my daughter had become someone who could smile again. My thoughts went back to Charlene and the night that we spent together. I would only be lying if I denied that I didn’t feel something with her. To be honest, she got my heart racing each time she stands close to me. It made me wonder if I was ready to move on or if I wanted to continue being in the past. I knew that she had no idea about the accident years ago and I had judged her because of her but what she said in front of everyone including the prime
Charlene POV I never expected that we would be the target of a car chase. It made me wonder who could be chasing us at that moment. My heart raced so fast as Dominic stopped the car and park in the garage. I heaved a deep sigh and looked towards Zenobia who had a look of worry in her eyes. She looked scared and her face suddenly turned red. I rubbed my forehead and heaved a deep sigh as I looked toward Dominic. "Is everyone alright?" he asked and I nodded In response. "Zenobia," he called for his daughter. "Are you fine?" She nodded in response. "what was that dad? What is going on?" she asked. I heaved a deep sigh and rubbed her forehead. "Everything will be fine honey," He cleared his throat and pointed to the restaurant that was opposite the car garage. "Didn't you say that you were hungry a while ago?" he asked to avert his daughter's attention from asking any more questions. She nodded in response. Dominic exchanged looks with me and I already understood what he meant. I g
Charlene POV I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal and hurt at my brother's behavior. I had always hoped that he would come around and try to make amends for what happened in the past, but seeing him act like I didn't exist just shattered any hope I had left.Dominic must have sensed my distress because he reached out and took my hand in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Are you okay?" he asked softly.I took a deep breath and forced a smile, not wanting to spoil the nice evening we were having. "Yeah, I'm fine," I said, but I knew he could see right through me.Zenobia, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the tension at the table. She chattered on happily, telling us about her day at school and all the things she had learned. It was a welcome distraction, and I found myself smiling genuinely at her stories.As we finished our meal, I noticed my brother and his family getting up to leave. He still hadn't acknowledged me, and I felt a pang of sadness in my chest. But the
Dominic POV I heaved a deep sigh as I entered the office that morning only to be met with a surprise from my employers. I was shocked when I saw that they all had a cake in their hand. I smiled at them and then walked into my office. Over the weekend, I had been thinking of the reason why Charlene had acted like that In front of her brother. There was no explanation for it but I figured that it had to do with the fact that something had happened between her and her brother in the past. It was the only reason why she had a breakdown. Even though I wanted to ask her more questions, I couldn’t because I was eaten up by guilt. I felt that I had done something wrong to her. It made me wonder if keeping the issue concerning my family’s death to myself makes me a bad person. I had no idea about that and even if I tried to change that, there was no way to tell her for now until I found out about the real cause of the accident. I picked up my phone from my desk and dialed the number of my
Charlene POV ‘’I believe that is all you need for school right?’’ I asked Zenobia as I dropped her in front of her school gate. It's been days since we returned from the orphanage home and Zenobia's school had resumed. We had spent over three weeks just training for the dance festival and it was not easy but I was glad that I got to make an impact in the children's lives. "Do you remember your books, pencils, and what else?" ‘’it’s the start of a new semester so I doubt if we would be doing anything today,’’ she told me and I nodded in response. Right, it made me question myself on why I was acting like that. I was acting like her mother and I had thought that she was uncomfortable about it but Zenobia She was a great child and I doubt if those were her thoughts. ‘’Okay,’’ I waved at her as she came out of the car and started walking towards the gate but then she stopped and walked back. She knocked on the window and I wind it down. ‘’Anything else?’’ I asked her. I thought she wa
Charlene POV "I am so glad to see you again, "Those were the words my brother said to me as soon as I sat down. "I never thought that you will come here," he said and I wondered what he meant by that. I knew that he was right about that. There was no reason at all for me to come there but I was there because he told me that he knew about what happened five years ago. If he knew something then I was ready to hear him. I couldn't wait to hear the words from his mouth and so I opened my mouth to speak but he grabbed my hand pulling me closer to myself. "Jeremy, "I called his name as he wouldn't let go of my hand. "what is happening?""I am sorry that I couldn't help you five years ago and that is not all. I am sorry that I talked wrongly about what you wanted to become when I should have supported you but I didn't want you to turn out to be like my mum and so, I judge you and say bad things about what you were doing," my brother lowered his head and heaved a deep sigh. "I already tol
