Raymond's POV

I was feeling uncomfortable and very nervous. I felt as if my chair was filled with hot coals. I couldn't sit still in my chair and he was happy that I was nervous.

I don't understand why I am caught up in this father-and-son feud.

I picked up my cup of coffee with a shaky hand. I almost spat the hot coffee but the way he was staring at me, made me swallow It down, the hotness burning my throat.

I grabbed a bottle of water immediately gulping it down. I loosened my tie, trying to breathe properly.

This was a very awkward time for me. I have never been in this situation before.

I wish I had told Maximus that his mother invited me over for lunch. I should have known it was just a ploy for his father to talk to me. What a sneaky old man.

I can see the reason why his two sons don't like him. I just hope Mia doesn't become like her father, that will be really nasty.

She already has a terrible attitude and if she becomes the replica of this old man sitting before me, I doubt s

    Raymond's POV"What the hell are you doing here? If other employees see you, they will tell Father and I would be in serious trouble. Leave right now, Raymond. I don't want any problems."To say I was hurt was an understatement.I know we no longer talk to each other but I wasn't expecting this kind of harsh reception. I was still part of the Coleman family. If Father didn't get rid of me as his son, I would be the one running the company."We haven't talked a more than six years and the only thing you can tell me is to leave a company that should belong to me. We are siblings, not strangers. Stop acting so high and mighty, Denise. Just because Father named you the CEO doesn't mean that you are better than me.""I thought you would actually believe me, Denise. I am your brother! Instead, you chose to believe some total stranger. I guess I didn't know you as well as I thought I did. I should have known that you are exactly like our father. Greedy for power and once you get it, you thro

    Maximus POVI grinned when I found out that Selena had blocked my contact and any way of reaching her. She was making it hard for me but I wasn't complaining. I was actually happy that she was no longer the naive girl I once knew. She has grown stronger and I love that about her.Even though it meant that I had to fight more for her to talk to me and prove to her that I had changed. I knew it wasn't really going to be easy but I was not backing down. The only question I pondered within myself was what would Father do if he found out that I was chasing after my ex-wife.He might have high blood pressure just from finding out. Just the thought of it was enough to make me happy.Anything that I could do to inflict some sort of pain on my father was really exhilarating for me. He made my life a living hell. He belittled me any chance he got and I was going to willingly return the favor in kind.If only Selena would agree to my invitation to have lunch, I'm sure that would make the headl

    Raymond's POVMaximus sat still as the make-up artist fixed his hair, pinning the microphone on him. Not once did he look nervous. If I was the one in that seat, I would be a nervous wreck. This was one of the reasons why I admired him and why he was my best friend. Mr. Ricardo Hemsworth is a sadist for not seeing what an amazing son he had. Maximus' flaw was his hot temper and lack of patience. Other than that, he was really kind and humble. If only he had a nice father, then he would have been so much better. Which was why I was sad when he divorced Selena. She brought out the good in him, not this stoic blank-faced person sitting before me.Apart from Kylie, there is no one else who brings out a smile in him. His siblings are rarely home. Not even Mia, who is their father's favorite comes home. I think I dodged a bullet with my own family or I would have turned out like Maximus, always appearing prim and proper with everything in place.I would go crazy if I was in that position.

He didn't just disobey me, He had the audacity to lie to my face.Imagine my surprise when I saw my step-sister from afar looking healthy and very much alive. Even though Mother told me not to go see her, I still had to satisfy my curiosity.I drove up to the hospital and sat in my car for so many hours until I saw her making her way out of the hospital building with her colleague. Selena was looking nice and healthy and it made me angry. I felt like killing her immediately. She shouldn't be alive. I paid good money for her to be killed but it seems as if she has nine lives. Selena being back in my life is disastrous. Just when Maximus was acting so distant and aloof, she decided to make an appearance. I know the only reason why she returned to New York City was because of Maximus. She wanted to take my hu

    Maximus’ Pov.I dodged the lamp post that was thrown my way. I was expecting him to be angry but I didn't expect him to react so violently. This wasn't the first time that my father had behaved so brutally towards me. He has hit me so many times ever since I was a kid. He called it discipline but I call it cruelty. He said it was to shape me into a fine gentleman but it only made me traumatized. It took a lot of time before I could get over my fear towards my father and I think Selena made a good contribution to that. She was always with me whenever I had my constant nightmares. I haven't even gotten one of those in the years now.He should be happy that I was giving Infinity Corporation more recognition. The orphanage that I was planning on building was what everyone was talking about in this city. I was no philanthropist but I believe that every child out there should have a happy childhood.I never got to experience that. I never knew what joy was as a little boy. Providing th

    Raymond's POV"Why is Mr. Hemsworth not present at this meeting? I thought he was the one who would lead this presentation but I am surprised to see his vice chairman."I almost cursed out at the man who said that. He had been giving me a hard time ever since he stepped foot into this restaurant. I didn’t even know why he chose a restaurant instead of meeting at the office. If it wasn't for Maximus, I wouldn't be sitting down here. There were some clients that were extremely annoying and talking business with them was really worth less than the migraine I'm getting."When the CEO is not available, the vice chairman takes over. Is there a problem? I am more than capable of giving this presentation. What if Maximus went on a business trip for a month and he isn't here to run the branch of Infinity corporation, right here in New York City?” They looked at each other. “With all due respect gentlemen, it is high time you started treating me with a little bit of respect.

    Selene's POVI paced around the living room. My mom was watching me keenly. She had been observing me for days now, even though I hadn’t been too vocal about my problems. If there was one thing my mom did whenever she saw or felt that I was frustrated, it was give me space. She didn’t force me to tell her what the problem was. She waited until I was ready to talk.I felt as if my head was about to explode. Work had really been hectic at the hospital, and while I wasn’t complaining, it was sometimes overwhelming. My children made it a habit to keep talking my ears off, always asking about their father. They had toned down their tantrums a little, especially Anna, after I scolded her the last time. But I still felt like I could never catch a break, especially with Maximus and his constant calls. I lost count of how many times I’d even blocked him, yet he always found a way to contact me again and again! Wasn’t he tired of pursuing me?I had zero interest in getting back with him, nor

    Mr Ben's POVI tried so hard to hold my breath but I knew it was useless. The longer I held on, the more brutal he got. I started flailing my arms around, hoping to catch some breath but that even made him dunk my head into the water more. His men held me down. I closed my eyes, finally accepting my fate. I knew that I would die one day but I never thought it would be in the hands of my oppressor. I thought I would at least live a little longer than I am now. What will they tell my family killed me? I was being a double agent or I was trying to be smarter than someone who made me what I am today. I wonder what will be written on my epitaph. Would it be a young crook who was caught trying to steal money from the Hemsworth empire or would it be a lovely father and husband or an underdog who tried so hard to become better than his boss, trying to take his position? What would it be or would I just die as a nobody since I was a nobody but all I know is that I was not ready to die. I n

    Maximus POVIt has been over a day since I found out that I had children with Selene but it still felt like a movie for me. I felt as if I was watching a stage drama and I was the main character. How could it be possible that Selene was pregnant and I didn't know? Could it have been just before I divorced her or weeks before I started treating her so badly?I felt so bad. I felt like a complete jerk. My children were grown up and the same age as Kylie and yet they didn't have the presence of a father in their life.I knew Serene was lying when she told them that so that they would stop worrying so much about me being their father. I missed five years of my children's life. I wasn't there when Selene went to her first ultrasound. I wasn't there with her when she gave birth. I saw how agonizing birth pangs can be. I was there when Jess gave birth to Kylie. I knew how agonizing it was and I let Selene go through that all alone.I now understand where all her hate was coming from. It was

    Selene's POVI have been feeling quite overwhelmed ever since Maximus discovered that he had children with me. I know I have been acting differently. I was constantly on edge, wondering when he would barge into my house, demanding me to hand over his children to him, or one day when he would take it to court for child custody. I didn't want to put my children through that trauma. I was certain that Maximus was the one threatening to take my children away from me. The same number that called me when I was looking for Anna and Asher at the mall called Nelly as well.I was convinced that Maximus was doing all this to spook me. There was no other person that knew about my children right now besides Maximus. I was worried that he would tell his family and they would harass my children and me. I didn't want Cecilia Hemsworth anywhere near her grandchildren. She was the one who tormented me every day, calling me barren and that she was a disgrace to the Hemsworth family and couldn't give b

    Mr Ben's POVI picked up the golden ring with a dragon and gold-blue design, and an onyx stone embedded in it. I knew it belonged to the boss so what was it doing here? Could it be that one of the Hemsworth family members was the man I was working for? It couldn't be Maximus, he was too uptight for that. And why the hell will he ever want to sabotage his own company? Mason was too much of a coward to even come up with such a brilliant plan. He wasn't really the brightest in the bunch which was why I was surprised he actually graduated from law school and owned a firm. I knew that the ring wasn't sold in jewelry stores, it was customized. My boss has a thing for making his belongings outstanding. He always had a symbol that indicated what was his. He said that's always made him iconic but to me, I thought it was stupid.It was easy to find him with such a symbol. I just needed to know who the ring belonged to, then I could finally know the psychopath who was under the mask and whom I

    Selene's POV"Just look at how happy they are. I can't believe they didn't want a party, that is so unlike them. Do you remember their last birthday?"Nelly chuckled beside me and I glanced at her. She was smiling widely while staring at Anna and Asher. I was glad she loved my kids as much as I did."How could I forget? They almost gave Mom a heart attack. When they were bouncing off the trampoline, I thought Mom would have passed out in fear," Nelly and I chuckled as we reminisced.She smiled, walking away with my children towards the toy section. The ringing of my phone made me stop in my tracks. I furrowed my brows at the unknown number.I swiped to answer but the person kept quiet, only their loud breathing was what I could hear."Selene Norman, leaving your kids unattended was a mistake. Now watch me take them away from you. They are mine to keep. I can do whatever I want with them. Time is ticking. Can you save them or would you forever not see them again? You choose. Your count

    Jess POVWhat was taking her so long? Doesn't she have any idea how cold the weather is? I can't believe I have to leave the comfort of my bed to come out in this stormy weather. The rain was just too much. I should be back at home, watching Netflix. Instead, I'm out here, brainstorming ideas on how to bring down Selene and I know the only person who could help me do that. I couldn't hurt her directly myself anymore, not with Mason breathing down my neck and watching me like a hawk. I was making sure to keep my end of the bargain. I couldn't hurt Selene even though I was itching to do so. I wanted to inflict so much pain on her.When I saw her a few days ago, she was looking nice and healthy, no longer limping. I am tempted to hire heavy artillery or even a sniper just to put a bullet through her head, but that will be an easy death. I want Selene to look at me as she takes her last breath. That would be the most satisfying. So that she will know that even in her miserable life, even

    Selene's POVFor the fifth time, I rejected the call, deciding to switch off my phone. Mason has been blowing up my phone with calls and text messages. I don't even know what to tell him. This is so awkward. He is my best friend, he cannot be my lover. I did not see him that way. I never even pictured in my mind that I would date Mason and he would take care of me.Mason was handsome, don't get me wrong and any woman will be lucky to have him. I know that he would love and care for me if I gave him a chance but I just didn't view him that way. I only saw him as a brother and a best friend. I don't understand why he is pushing it so much with me to date him. I don't have any romantic feelings towards him.What was he hoping for? He couldn't give me a good reason why he wanted to date me. He didn't tell me what he saw in me either. The only reason he told me was that he was in love with me. I don't know why I found that very hard to believe. And he wasn't even thinking about how awkward

    Maximus POVMason kept on staring at me, looking confused. Things had been weird between us for the past few weeks, especially since I found out about the little stunt he pulled with Selene. I knew he was avoiding me as if I had a deadly disease on me. I have no idea what kind of game Mason was playing but I was not interested in finding out. I specifically told him that Selene was off-limits. I didn't know when Mason became so daring. I know he didn't propose to her but with the sly gestures he made in those videos and pictures, a lot of people have been misunderstanding the whole situation and it annoyed me every single time to see everyone talking about that.I wonder how Selene was taking all this. Was she happy? She has never been someone who loved public attention."Both of you have been staring at each other for a while now and there is too much male testosterone right now in this room. Maximus, if you have anything to say to Mason, now is a time to do so.” Raymond uttered, ma

You always say this is your favorite holiday, so why the gloomy face? Don't tell me you are missing me too much. It is just a one week conference and besides, you are the one who volunteered to go instead. Who knows, maybe you will make new friends there. Just try to make the best out of it and don't be so stuck up b****, okay?"Avery opened her mouth in disbelief then she covered the camera with her palm.I stifled my laughter when I heard her screaming into her pillow in the background."I am not a b****! People just don't know when someone is polite and jovial. Those are two different things, Selene, come on. I wish you were here with me. Dr. Riley is no fun. She has had her head buried in books ever since we arrived at this conference. Why did this have to be for a week? When I get back, I'm going to spend my three days at the beach, sunbathing a

Are you trying to separate my daughter from me, Maximus? What is next? Are you going to give her to Selene, your ex-wife or are you going to also make me look like the bad guy again? What is it going to be this time? Come on, tell me! She should be with us right now, having breakfast like a normal family should but instead, you shipped her off to her grandparents. Do you expect me to be okay with that?"Jess complained, fussed, and questioned all at once.It was too early for her to start her whining. I had enough problems on my mind and I don't need her adding to it."I don't need to make you look like a bad guy. You are already evil. And besides, your daughter is the one who suggested that she wants to take a little holiday at her grandparent's house. Since when do you treat Kylie like your own child? She is constantly
