They chatted as they played golf, but honestly, it was pretty clear that Abelard and Darius were far more interested in their conversation than the actual game.
At first, they talked about world events, but soon enough, Abelard and Darius got caught up in a lively, on-the-spot strategy game—using coffee mugs and salt shakers to simulate a battlefield right there on the green.
Charlene and Stewart stood by, listening in, while Thorne and Vesta hung back as well, trying not to look too left out.
Maybe picking up on this, Darius glanced over and said, “Why don’t you both weigh in? I’d love to hear your thoughts.”
Charlene spoke up after a moment, “With enemies on all sides, charging in solo is a bad idea. So honestly, playing it safe and holding our ground seems like the smart move right now.”
Vesta blinked. She had to admit, it was a pretty solid point—something she probably wouldn’t have thought of herself.
Darius gave Charlene an approving nod, smiling. “Nicely put.”
Stewart, quick on the uptake, shuffled two cups across their makeshift map. “I’d go for a pincer movement—flank from both sides.”
Abelard and Darius both grinned at that, clearly pleased with his tactic.
Then all eyes turned to Thorne and Vesta—it was their turn.
Vesta studied the ‘battlefield’ but drew a blank. She looked to Thorne for backup.
Thorne spoke up, “We don’t have enough troops left to defend the city, but if we swing through the northwest and cut off their retreat, we might just turn the tables.”
Abelard clapped his hands. “Brilliant! And what about you, Vesta?”
Vesta hesitated, then gave it some thought. Slowly, a plan formed. “If we pull forces from the southeast and push hard on the northwest, we could take the city in one go.”
That move directly challenged Charlene’s earlier plan to hold steady.
As they played, Darius, Abelard, and even Hickey went out of their way to chat with Charlene, treating her with genuine warmth and making sure she felt included.
Watching them, Vesta couldn’t help but notice how much they liked Charlene—and how casual they were with her, always calling her by her first name. With Vesta, though, it was always “Ms. Hawkins.” All this, just because of one research paper?
And Charlene? She handled their attention with total ease, chatting with Darius and the others as if it were the most natural thing in the world—no sign of nerves or awkwardness.
Vesta smirked to herself. She had to admit, Charlene had a pretty thick skin.
Still, even though she had her suspicions about Charlene’s paper, Vesta kept quiet. Without proof, opening her mouth could easily backfire.
Charlene and Darius kept up their easy banter as they played, not paying any attention to Thorne or Vesta.
By the end of the morning, she and Thorne had barely spoken, keeping their distance and making it look like they had nothing to do with each other at all.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and 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?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
We're stuck at this chapter for over 2wks now Very annoying Thorne and vesta having the tune of their lives while Charlene is stuck More annoying...
Updating chapters to this novel is reminiscent of a sloth. There should be a disclaimer when this site states PUBLISH 10 chaps/day....
