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.

    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.

  • Married for Revenge    Attacked

    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. I had thought

    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

    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

    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

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.

    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

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

    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

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

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

    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.
