Her heart seemed to collapse inside her chest.Dr. Moore immediately reached for the remote.“I can turn that off.”“No.”Charlene's voice was barely audible.“Leave it.”“Charlene—”“Please.”The camera showed Geoffrey stepping from his car.He wore a perfectly tailored black tuxedo.He looked confident.Elegant.Happy.The man she had once loved.The man she had sacrificed everything for.The man who had promised to wait for her.Charlene's eyes filled with tears.Geoffrey smiled at the cameras.And that smile broke something inside her.She whispered,“He looks happy.”Dr. Moore watched her carefully.Charlene laughed softly through her tears.“He really looks happy.”The reporter continued.“Geoffrey Smith, one of the country's most influential young businessmen, is officially tying the knot today with attorney Vivienne Cole.”The screen showed Vivienne stepping out of a white luxury vehicle.Her wedding gown was breathtaking.Long.Elegant.Covered in delicate pearls.The crowd a

Then slowly whispered,“Why would you do this?”The question escaped her like a whisper.She barely heard the bedroom door open.“Charlene.”She looked up.Margaret stood in the doorway.Her mother's expression immediately softened when she saw the papers scattered across the desk.“You shouldn't stress yourself.”Charlene quickly gathered the documents.“Mom, I'm fine.”“No, you're not.”Margaret walked toward her.“You've been studying those papers for hours.”“I need to understand them.”“You need to rest.”“I can't rest.”Charlene's voice became strained.“Not when I finally have a chance to understand what happened to my life.”Margaret stopped beside the desk.She looked at her daughter carefully.“Your l

Only the best surgeons in the country could perform surgeries in here, for cash and under strict contracts, and it was known that nothing that happened here will be ever revealed to the outer world.Charlene looked into the mirror, where she saw herself standing in the preparation room of the surgery dressed only in simple white surgical robe. Charlene saw how pale she looked after weeks of recovery, still carrying traces of fire and a head trauma, but not anymore empty. She was a woman, who suffered ten years of verbal abuse, erased herself, watched as the man she loved married someone else in the belief that he had buried her alive.Daniel stood
