Dominic POV ‘’let's make our marriage work,’’ I still couldn’t believe that I had said that to Charlene the night before at the city park. I had summoned up all the courage in me not to reveal my true self. If I had done the slightest mistake of letting my emotions high then she could have figured out that I was pretending to have lost my memory. Am I doing the right thing? I believe so and the truth is, I wanted to forget about the past and put it all behind us. I wanted to make everything work out, find the truth behind my ex- wife’s accident and also make sure that I found the assailant that was involved in attacking me. Now that I know that my mother was involved in all of these, it was the perfect way to find out the truth instead of letting it pass me by. I felt Charlene snuggle against me and buried her head in my chest. She wrapped her hands around my waist and yawned. I liked the position were both in with our legs intertwined and I didn’t want it to end. I still want to

Charlene POV I stirred in Dominic's arms, a soft groan escaping my lips as the sound of knocking on our bedroom door penetrated my sleep. I snuggled closer to him, seeking warmth and comfort, but the knocking continued, insistent and unyielding. Dominic stirred beside me and I felt his arm tighten around me. He was the first to wake up, and as he tapped me, I slowly opened my eyes and groggily blinked at him. "Zenobia needs to speak with us," he said, his voice still heavy with sleep. I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I yawned and stretched my hands wondering what Zenobia wanted to speak to us about. There must be a good reason why she wanted to see us but I had hoped that it wouldn’t be something bad. "What could she possibly need at this hour?" I grumbled, as we both got out of bed and quickly got dressed. we opened the door and Zenobia burst in, her face pale and her eyes wide with fear. "Daddy, you have to come quick," she gasped. "Something terrible has happened," s

Dominic POV I knew that everything was a facade. A way to show that the evil ones had struck again and wanted to put all the blames on Charlene just like five years ago. I had to make sure that I find a way to find the real killer so Charlene wouldn’t have to suffer again just like she did before. I called Edward as soon as I got to the station with Charlene and luckily for me, I found out that he had a license as a lawyer.Ironic, isn’t it? Who would have thought that Edward had spent years trying to become a lot of things to get revenge for his wife and his brother? When he arrived, we both stood outside the station where we discussed what was happening. "Are you sure you want to do this, Dominic?" Edward asked. "It could be dangerous." "I'm sure," I replied firmly. "We need to find out what they know about Charlene and clear her name." ‘’That is why I am here,’’ he heaved a deep sigh and rubbed the bridge of his nose. ‘’ I believe whatever happened has to do with my source foun

Charlene POV ‘’you are under arrest for the murder of Alexa,’’ The cop that had escorted my brother announced and walked towards me with cuffs in his hand. Before he could reach me, Dominic stopped him. ‘’what the hell do you think you are doing!’’ he shouted at them. ‘’how dare you enter my home and try to arrest my wife! I already made it clear to you all that she is not the assailant and….’’ ‘’According to her brother, it seemed that she is an accomplice. She and her brother has been in contact for a while now and she surely knows something about the death of Alexa.’’ I lowered my head knowing that what the cop had said was the truth. Not even Dominic knew about it and there was no way to prove that I had only met my brother once. ‘’I told you didn’t I son,’’ Caroline shouted. ‘’I told you that she is a bad person. Someone who you should get rid of! Someone that does not deserve to live!’’ Dominic stopped his mother from talking with his hand. ‘’I don’t have the time to conti

Dominic POV I heaved a deep sigh as I walked into prison. The warden gave us a high time before we could see Jeremy and when we finally did, he burst into tears. ‘’what are you crying for?’’ I asked him through gritted teeth. I was angry at the fact that he acted as if he didn’t do anything wrong. He had brought the cops and my mother to my home and lied against Charlene whereas he was being controlled. ‘’what the hell are you crying for?’’ I wanted to scream but then again, I knew that I could attract the attention of the warden so I let Edward do the talking since he was much more familiar with how things work. ‘’why are you treating your sister in such a crazy manner?’’ he asked him. ‘’you haven't spoken to her in years and now you return to spreading lies about your sister?’’ Jeremy placed his cuffed hands forward and sniffled. ‘’I had no choice but to do that. They wanted to get rid of my daughter and I had to….’’ he lowered his head. ‘’I don’t deserve to be called a father a
