All Chapters of Married for Revenge : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Charlene POV The smell of bleach was overwhelming as I fluttered my eyes open. The beeping of the machine beside me was overshadowed by the loud noise made by someone in the room with me. I struggled to open my eyes but then felt the light shining into my eyes. no one needed to tell me that I was in the hospital because I had come there a thousand times. ‘’you can stop talking loudly grandmother, she has woken up,’’ Zenobia’s loud voice was the first word that I heard clearly. She moved closer to me and waved her hand in my face. ‘’Are you alright Charlene?’’ she asked me. I blinked and nodded in response. I tried to get up from the bed but then my vision felt hazy and everything in the room became two then I felt a hand around my waist and I looked at Zenobia who smiled back at me. Her smile was everything that I needed at the moment, she was smiling brightly as she stared at me but it was all cut short by Caroline’s throat clearing. ‘’I need to speak with Charlene alone, my dear

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

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

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

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
