Married for Revenge A family sacrifice
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

Charlene POVOn reaching the house, Jeremy's daughter ran towards me, excitedly calling out my name. "Auntie Charlene! Auntie Charlene! You're finally back!" She handed me a flower that she had picked from the garden, and I took it from her with a smile. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes but I hide how I was feeling at that moment because I knew that she could sense how I was feeling at that moment. I didn’t want her to even find out about her father because I had kept my promise to him that I would protect his daughter. I would only be a bad person if I let something happen to his daughter. I had to make sure that she was protected because it was his last wish for me."Thank you, sweetie," I said as I hugged her tightly. "How have you been?""I've been good because Zenobia and Jackson kept me company," she replied. "Did you see my daddy?" she asked flashing her lashes at me.I hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, I saw your daddy,’’ I muttered and looked at Domini

Charlene POVI hugged Zenobia and Stella once again as I bade them goodbye. Dominic and I had dropped them off at the orphanage home with the lady in charge. Miss Christnah who was a good friend of Edward. ‘’I will be back for you two,’’ I promised them. ‘’please watch over Stella for me,’’ I said to Zenobia.Zenobia smiled at me and picked Stella from the ground. ‘’of course Charlene. You don’t have to worry about that as I will always be here for her,’’ she promised me and I felt reassured.When it was time to leave, I spoke with Miss Christina for a moment and begged her to watch over the kids. ‘’please, no matter what happened, you are not allowed to release the children to anyone aside from us,’’ she already knew this but I took my time again to tell so that she would protect each of the kids and I wouldn’t have to worry about anything happening to either of them.‘’of course,’’ she agreed. ‘’you changed the lives of the children during the dance festival and I am so glad that th

Dominic POV“When you get to my house, find a red book. Whatever you want should be there. The answers to the past.’’ Those were Jeremy’s words to me when I visited him before the trial and now that I have found the book, it contained something that I never expected that I would see.We left the house after getting the book and gathered around in my house. Once we were seated in my study room, I opened the red book and we all read it together. ‘’I never expected that something like this will happen,’’ Charlene commented after reading the book.I shouldn’t have involved her in any of this. If I had the chance, I would have tried my best to make sure that she doesn’t have to be involved in the plan. I just wanted to find out the truth about what has been tormenting me for years and I wouldn’t want anyone to get involved in it.‘’isn’t Adrien Inkstone the number one company in the city and around the world?’’ I asked Edward who seemed to know everything about everyone since he had been i

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

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

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 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

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

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
