All Chapters of Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Alexander’s POVThe news anchor’s voice echoed through the quiet interior of my car.I stared at the screen of my phone as another report about my divorce played.“…Business mogul Alexander Voss has officially ended his marriage to Charlotte Voss following allegations of infidelity…”My thumb hovered over the screen, but I didn’t stop the video.The anchor continued. “According to sources close to the family, Mrs. Voss’s repeated unfaithfulness led to the collapse of the marriage.”My expression remained blank. A panel of so-called experts appeared afterward.One of them adjusted his glasses before speaking. “From what we’ve gathered, Mr. Voss is the victim in this situation. He remained silent for weeks despite everything.”Another nodded. “The public initially questioned why he wasn’t addressing the scandal, but now it makes sense.”The screen switched again and Charlotte’s company logo filled the television.“Investigations into Charlotte Infrastructure also reveal severe corporate

Charlotte’s POVI stared at the television, unable to believe what I was seeing.The reporter continued speaking while images of Marilyn flashed across the screen.“…The Voss family has officially confirmed the passing of Marilyn Voss after her prolonged battle with illness. According to the family’s statement, her condition deteriorated rapidly during the final stages despite receiving the best medical care available…”My breathing slowed. “No…”Elena looked between me and the television as she lowered the volume. “You knew she passed away?”I slowly shook my head. “No! This is the first I’m hearing of it.”She frowned. “I thought maybe someone had told you.”I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Marilyn was gone.The news report continued describing her as a brilliant young woman with a promising future, while clips of charity events and family photographs appeared one after another.The official statement blamed her death on an illness that had become incurable but my thoughts ha

Charlotte’s POV.“Charlotte…” I quickly lifted my head at the sound of Elena’s voice.My fingers hurriedly brushed across my cheeks, wiping away the tears before she could see them but It was too late because She had already noticed.The door opened wider as she walked into my hospital ward carrying a large paper bag. Derrick followed quietly behind her, another smaller bag hanging from his hand.Elena’s smile faded the moment she looked at my face. “You’ve been crying again.”“I’m fine.” I denied.She sighed. “Charlotte.” She placed the food on the bedside table before sitting beside me. “No, you’re not.”Without another word, she wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “You don’t have to pretend around me.”I looked away, unable to meet her eyes. “I wasn’t pretending.”“You were.” She smiled sadly. “I know what your face looks like after you’ve cried.”I gave up trying to hide it. “I’m sorry.”“What are you apologising for?”“For making everyone worry.”She shook her head. “You’ve been

Charlotte’s POV.Everything hurts… It felt as though my entire body had been drained of strength.My eyelids were unbelievably heavy, but after several attempts, I finally managed to force them open. The familiar white ceiling greeted me, followed by the steady beeping of medical equipment somewhere beside my bed.In the hospital Again! “No…” The word escaped my dry lips as panic settled into my chest.I struggled to sit upright despite the soreness in my body. “Nurse…” My voice barely came out.I swallowed painfully and tried again. “Nurse!” This time, it was louder.Every ounce of strength I had went into that call and a few moments later, the door opened and a nurse hurried inside.“Miss Harper.” She quickly walked to my bedside. “Please don’t try to sit up too quickly.”“When did I get here?” I asked immediately, my voice hoarse. “How long have I been unconscious?”“You’ve only been asleep for several hours.” She said and Relief washed over me.It’s only for several hours… I had

Charlotte’s POVI stood at the foot of the staircase for several long seconds, listening to the muffled argument upstairs.Neither voice was clear enough for me to make out what they were saying, but their tones carried enough tension.I frowned as I didn’t know what to do. “Should I go upstairs? No, it wasn't my place.”Every couple had disagreements. I knew that better than most people. Walking into theirs would only make things more awkward, especially since I was living under their roof because of their kindness.Quietly, I took off my shoes and headed for my room. I closed the door behind me and let out a tired sigh. “What a day…”I placed my handbag on the chair, loosened my hair and reached for the buttons of my blouse, intending to change into something comfortable.But then, a sudden knock landed on the door making me pause before uttering, “Come in.”The door opened almost immediately and Elena stood there. She had on casual clothes, but one thing was impossible to miss… she
