The devastation outside grew worse by the hour. Thanks to the mansion’s elevated location, the old estate remained mostly untouched, but by nightfall even their cell service had become spotty and unreliable.
With the severe storm warning she’d received that afternoon, Charlene realized there was no guarantee she’d make it out in the morning to get back to work at PrimeStar.
After dinner that evening, she messaged the Ross family to let them know she was safe, then called Stewart to explain she was staying at the Henderson Mansion and might not make it in the next day.
Stewart replied, “Things are pretty bad right now. PrimeStar’s already told everyone to work from home tomorrow. There’s no rush on your end. I’ll handle anything urgent for you, and we can touch base if anything comes up.”
“Alright,” she agreed.
Afterward, Charlene sat cross-legged on the carpet with Jasmine, helping her piece together a puzzle. Thorne lounged on the far end of the sofa, absorbed in a book.
An hour passed before Thorne wandered over. Charlene didn’t look up, but Jasmine noticed and asked, “Dad? What’s up?”
But Thorne’s gaze fell on Charlene. “Fancy a game of chess?”
Charlene did enjoy chess—and Thorne was a formidable opponent. With anyone else, she’d take losses in stride, determined to improve. But when it came to Thorne…
She shook her head lightly. “Not interested.”
Thorne took her answer in stride, glancing at her but saying nothing more. Then he changed the subject. “If you’re bored, why not head upstairs and read for a bit?”
By “upstairs,” he meant his own room or his study, where the books were kept.
Charlene’s expression didn’t change. “No, thanks.”
He didn’t seem offended, just smiled and asked, “Have you read those new journals yet?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
