Mummy, We Found Our Billionaire Daddy: The Ex-wife's Revenge Chapter 46
Jess’ pov: I flinch when my father’s hand brushes mine, his warm fingers pulling me out of my spiraling thoughts. His concern is written all over his face, the crease in his brow deepening as he leans closer. “Jess, what’s going on? You haven’t even touched your waffles. Aren’t they your favorite?” His voice is soft but firm, his gaze locking onto mine. “I brought you to your favorite diner, and you’ve been staring off into space since we sat down. Talk to me. You’re scaring me.” I sigh, dragging my fork across the plate, pushing the waffles aimlessly. The sweet smell of syrup and butter clings to the air, but it does nothing for me. “Trust me, Dad, what I’m thinking about… it’s not something I can just say out loud. It’s not something you can fix.” I take a deep breath, the words cutting through the quiet between us. “You’ve heard Selene’s back in the city, right? Your other daughter. She’s the reason for this. I can’t sleep, I can’t think, and it’s all because of her.” The

Selene: “What are you doing here?” I snap, my voice cutting through the tension like ice. “The last time we saw each other, you made it crystal clear that you wanted nothing to do with me. So what the hell are you doing here now?” I cross my arms, my words cold and sharp, though they barely cover the hurt threatening to claw its way out. “Have you come to make my life even more miserable than you already have? I don’t want to see you. Leave my hospital. Now.” I force myself to stay composed, but his presence makes it impossible. My hands clench into fists at my sides, the frustration and hurt bubbling just below the surface, threatening to spill over. He shifts his weight, his gaze softening as if that’s supposed to mean something to me. But I know better. “Just hear me out, Selene.” His voice is too calm, too measured, and the smile he offers is painfully fake. “I’m not here to argue or fight. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, and if you think I came here to pick a figh

Selene’s POV “You’re making a huge mistake, and if you don’t drop that gun, it’s going to blow up in your face—soon.” I knew it. My instincts about him are always spot-on. I can smell a criminal from a mile away. He never changes. But I didn’t see the backup plan coming. “What’s the endgame here? Do you really think you’ll make it out alive? Even if you shoot me, the security team will storm in and drag you straight to jail.” He doesn’t even flinch, but I keep going. “You really thought I’d run to you, cry on your shoulder? Too bad, Father. That doesn’t work on me anymore. Get the gun out of my face. Now.” My father chuckles, his eyes flicking toward the door, checking to see if anyone might walk in. I silently pray they don’t—I can’t let anyone else get caught in this. “I’m impressed, Selene. You’ve grown a thick skin, haven’t you?” I hate him with every fiber of my being. “But there’s a reason this gun has a silencer. If I blow your brains out right now, no one will

Jess’ POV I’m not supposed to be here—spending my day at an amusement park wasn’t part of the plan. Staying home sounded way better, but Maximus promised Kylie I’d take her out for some fun today. Reluctant doesn’t even begin to cover it, but Maximus made it clear: if I want this marriage to work, I need to “adjust my attitude” toward our daughter. As if. Every time I look at Kylie, a wave of irritation hits me. It doesn’t make sense, but it’s there, crawling under my skin. All I have to do is drop her off in the kids’ section and wait for her to wear herself out. The sooner she’s tired, the sooner we’re out of here. I don’t know how parents do this—pretending to enjoy the chaos. The one saving grace? Kylie isn’t big on hugs. Or maybe she just doesn’t want to hug me. Whatever the reason, I’m not complaining. There’s no way I’m letting her climb up that germ-ridden slide and come back covered in dirt, expecting me to clean her up. I take care of myself, and I’m not about to le

Maximus POV “What’s wrong with you, Maximus? You haven’t stopped fidgeting since you walked through that door. Don’t tell me this is about Selene again. Is she still ignoring you?” Raymond’s laughter grates on my nerves, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. Instead, I glare at him, silently seething. How he finds humor in my situation is beyond me. I still can’t believe Selene had the audacity to ban me from her hospital. The sting of that insult is sharp, but beneath it all, there’s something darkly amusing about the whole thing. The security guards had looked painfully uncomfortable delivering the news, stammering as they informed me their boss—Selene—had barred me from entering. Maybe they thought I’d retaliate, pull some kind of power move to shut her hospital down. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. I would never do that. This hospital is the culmination of years of Selene’s hard work, a dream she’s finally brought to life. And despite eve

Selene’s POV Family dinners are always my favorite part of the day—our time to unwind, connect, and share laughs. But lately, something feels... off. Ever since my mom took the kids to the amusement park, Asher has been unusually quiet. My once-independent boy, the one who proudly declared he was too old to sleep in my room, now asks to stay by my side at night. It doesn’t make sense. I asked my mom about it, but she’s just as puzzled as I am. How could one weekend change my kids so much? Asher seems distant, and Anna barely leaves his side. It’s like she’s guarding him, and I can’t stop wondering what happened. The bruise on his arm doesn’t help, either. He says he fell off a swing, but something about that explanation doesn’t sit right with me. Tonight, I’m determined to get to the bottom of it. “You’re scaring me, Mommy. Why are you smiling all by yourself? No one said anything funny.” Anna’s curious voice snaps me out of my thoughts. My forced smile vanishes as my eyes

Maximus POV I can’t believe this is happening. Of all the ridiculous things I’ve done, this one definitely takes the cake. What the hell was I thinking, letting Raymond talk me into this? I look more like a fugitive on the run than a billionaire. People are staring. A lot. And honestly? I can’t blame them. If I were in their shoes, I’d be suspicious too. Hell, I half-expect security to show up any second and politely escort me out—or maybe not so politely. I glance over my shoulder. Raymond is still in the car, waving like an overexcited kid at the circus. He flashes me a big, stupid thumbs-up. I respond with the obvious—flipping him off. Of course, that only makes him laugh harder. He rolls up the window, revs the engine like he’s starring in some action movie, and then squeals off, leaving me stranded here. I let out a heavy sigh, wiping the sweat from my forehead. This outfit is a mistake. A complete disaster. It’s seventy degrees and sunny, and Raymond had me dress like I

Selene’s POV This is so awkward, but honestly, I don’t have a choice. I know Maximus too well—he’s stubborn to a fault. Once he sets his mind on something, there’s no shaking him off. It’s one of the qualities I used to admire about him when we first met, but now? Now, it’s just unbearable. His constant visits are starting to grate on my nerves, especially since I’ve turned him away more times than I can count. I even banned him from the hospital, but that hasn’t stopped him. He always manages to find a way around it. I should’ve known he wouldn’t let it go so easily. But this? This is something else. I never thought he’d stoop so low as to use Avery to get to me. That’s a new low, even for him. I still can’t believe Avery actually helped him with this ridiculous plan. My best friend, of all people, is in on this? I watch Maximus shift uncomfortably in his seat, clearly nervous. It’s almost funny—especially considering I used to be the one who was always nervous when we were

Maximus’ POV"Asher, slow down! The ice cream isn’t going anywhere," I grunt, watching my son sprint ahead like he’s in some kind of race. "If you fall, I swear I won’t feel bad for you this time. I’m serious—get back here!"Of course, he doesn’t listen. If anything, he runs even faster, making me chase him like some desperate lunatic.I give up. I’m already exhausted, and the last thing I need is to pass out because my kids are being their usual mischievous selves.Beside me, Raymond chuckles, clearly enjoying my suffering. I shoot him a sharp look, and just like that, his laughter dies."I don’t think you’re in any position to laugh," I scowl, crossing my arms. "This is your fault. You had one job, Raymond. One. Look after them till I got back. I don’t need you to be the ‘cool uncle’—I need you to be the responsible one. No wonder Avery doesn’t like you.Please, for the love of everything good, remind me never to let you babysit again. You’re the worst."He grins, completely unfazed

Maximus: My heart skips a beat. “That bomb explosion was meant to take out everyone, including Benjamin, whom I sent. That’s right, Maximus, I’m the one behind your sabotage,” he continues, grinning widely. “The orphanage, the construction worker, Henry O'Hara, sending you those threatening messages—it was all me. And I must say, I had fun, but now the fun is over. My sidekick is dead. I told him I don’t like loose ends, so I had to end his life. Benjamin is practically useless to me.” It’s one shocking revelation after another. First Jess, now this?! What’s next? “You’re lucky Raymond survived. I don’t know how he got out of the building on time, but that’s not my business. My fight isn’t with him.” Mason steps closer “Now come over here, let’s go, Selene. I’ve already arranged a plane to take us anywhere you want. We can get married and live however we want.” Selene takes a step back as Mason points a gun at us. I move her behind me, determined not to let my brother hurt th

Maximus POV It’s been over an hour since the police took Jess away, and the weight of it all still hasn’t fully hit me. She’s finally going to pay for what she’s done. Her words echo in my head, and I can’t seem to shake them. I can’t believe all these years I’ve been lied to—Kylie isn’t even my daughter. Jess has been deceiving me all this time. But I won’t let that define how I see Kylie. I will prove Jess wrong. When I look at my child, I won’t see someone else’s daughter. I’ll see my daughter, and nothing Jess says will change that. If she thinks that I’m going to hate Kylie because of her lies, she’s sorely mistaken. Kylie has always been the light in my life. She’s the reason I’ve been able to endure this broken marriage for as long as I have. Every morning, seeing her smile makes everything worth it. The thought of ever telling her she wasn’t mine is unthinkable, especially with the anxiety issues she’s been battling thanks to Jess. I would never put that on her—she’

Selene: I take an involuntary step back as panic courses through my veins. "What are you doing here? How are you out?" My voice comes out shaky, my mind racing. How is he not behind bars? He poisoned me. He almost killed me. I can’t comprehend how he’s standing in front of me, free. He must see the confusion in my eyes, because he immediately starts talking, as though he’s read my thoughts. "I know what you're thinking," he says, his tone hesitant but strangely apologetic. “What am I doing out of jail? Well, I can't tell you how I got out. I didn't escape if that's what you're thinking. I just... I wanted to apologize." I feel an odd sense of dread twist in my gut. "Apologize?" I repeat, incredulously. I take another cautious step back. I don’t trust him. Not after what he did to me. Not after what he almost did. His eyes are desperate, almost pleading, as he moves closer, and I instinctively take another step back, my body going tense. "I lied," he continues, his voice low. “I

Selene: My life feels like it's spiraling, like a country song with all its ups and downs. I'm drowning in the weight of it, but there's no time for wallowing in despair. That’s exactly what Jess wants, and I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me broken. When Anna and Asher get back from their outing with Maximus, the first thing they do is run straight looking for Nelly. My heart tightens, knowing the truth that they can’t yet understand. How do I explain to them that the woman they trusted—who took care of them, played with them, and protected them—was the same person who orchestrated their kidnapping and tried to take my life over the past few months? How do I explain that? It hits my mom the hardest. She’s known Nelly for years, taken her in like family. To find out that the woman she trusted was behind this all… it’s breaking her. She doesn’t say much, just quiet and distant. But I can see the sadness in her eyes. She tells me she’ll heal, just needs time

Selene’s POV: Without thinking, I slam her door open, my anger boiling over. How dare she?! After everything, after I took her in, trusted her, and let her live under my roof like family. I feel like a fool. How could I not see that something was off about Nelly all this time? She’s been my enemy this whole time, and I didn’t even realize it. "Selene, I’m fine. I’m just frustrated," Nelly says, her voice trembling slightly. "I wanted to go to the bathroom, but then I remembered that I can't walk. I almost hurt myself, but I’m fine. Really." I can’t even look at her. How does she act so innocent, so pretentious, when I know what she's done to me? How does she stand there, pretending like nothing happened? Every instinct tells me to slap her, to make her feel the weight of what she’s done. But I know it wouldn’t be worth it. I’ve already called the cops. It won’t be long now before she’s where she belongs. I can't hold it in any longer. The words spill out of me, bitter and furio

Selene: If life had a spinning wheel, mine would be spinning out of control. Chaos. That’s what my world feels like. One disaster after another, piling on top of each other until I can barely breathe. First, I got hit by a car. Then, I barely survived being poisoned. Not long after that, my children were kidnapped from school. And now? Now Nelly is stuck in a wheelchair, with no clear answer on when—or if—she’ll ever walk again. Whoever ran her over wasn’t just reckless. They were brutal. She’s devastated. She barely leaves her room, convinced that her life is over. That she’s useless to me now. Nothing I say seems to get through to her. She keeps insisting that I’ll fire her—abandon her—because she can’t take care of Anna and Asher anymore. As if she’s just some employee. She’s family. My mom adores her. My kids love her. I wish she could see that. I wish she could understand that she’s not alone in this. At least the driver was arrested. A drunk driver. In the m

Maximus POV His eyes flick to Anna, then back to me, a smirk playing on his lips. "You do have kids elsewhere," he says, his tone laced with something unreadable. "And might I say, your daughter is your exact copy. So? Aren’t you going to introduce me to my niece and nephew?" I don’t respond. I can’t. He studies my expression, his smirk deepening. "Why are you looking at me like that? You seem… tense. What’s going on?" I force myself to mask my shock, but my mind is racing. What the hell is Mason doing here? And more importantly—how does he know about Selene and the kids? I get that Anna looks exactly like me, but why does Mason automatically assume Selene is their mother? There are plenty of women he could have considered—so why her? My stomach twists. He’s obsessed. And I don’t like it. It’s like he thinks Selene belongs to him. Like she’s some prize he missed out on. Did he follow me here? I didn’t even notice if someone was tailing me. That’s what bothers me th

Maximus’ POV For the first time in days, I feel a sense of relief. My kids are safe. That’s all that matters. Even though Anna sprained her wrist and has to wear a bandage for now, I can’t help but feel a strange sense of pride. Turns out, she was the one riling up their kidnapper, protecting Asher from getting hit. I guess whoever took them doesn’t like quick-witted kids. Anna may have my looks, but she’s got Selene’s sharp tongue. And while that might have made things worse for her in that hellhole, I’m glad she never backed down. She’s strong. What I don’t feel good about is Selene still believing I had something to do with this. No matter what I say, no matter what I do, she refuses to let go of the idea that I was involved. And honestly? I’m getting tired of proving my innocence. But nothing could have prepared me for the shock I got this morning. Selene called me—early. Good thing I spent the night at the office. If I’d been home, Jess would have started nagging
