Selene's POv

Taking coffee breaks in the park feels like the ultimate escape when you’re drowning in a hospital schedule. I slump back on the bench, utterly drained.

That six-hour surgery nearly had me keeling over from exhaustion.

Avery clinks her coffee cup against mine, a soft giggle escaping her as she drapes an arm over my shoulder and rests her head against me. “Cheers to stealing a moment of peace,” she says with a grin.

I let out a deep sigh, sinking into the moment. This is exactly the kind of rest I’ve been craving.

“I’m hosting a little get-together at my place on Sunday,” Avery says casually. “I was hoping you’d come. And, hey, maybe after everyone leaves, you could crash at my place?”

Her words hang in the air for a moment as I grow quiet. I already know I can’t make it. Asher and Anna have been buzzing with excitement about the camping trip I promised them, and I’m not about to let them down now.

“I’m so sorry, Avery,” I say, meeting her gaze. “I already have

    Maximus POV Raymond and I stand in front of the half-finished orphanage, the Infinity logo displayed proudly above the entrance. Out of all the projects I’ve undertaken in my life, this one means the most to me. Providing a home for thousands of children—giving them even a fraction of what I had growing up—wasn’t just business. It was personal. And now, someone is trying to sabotage it, trying to make me look like a failure. There’s no way I’m backing down without a fight. I’ve poured my heart into this, and I won’t let anyone destroy it. These kids deserve better. Even if they’ll never know the privilege of a golden spoon, this project can still give them something—hope, security, a chance. I gave the construction workers the day off. I wanted the entire site cleared so Raymond and I could take a proper look. Somewhere in this mess, there has to be proof of foul play. At first, I thought it might have been an accident—a mistake blown out of proportion. But Raymond was righ

    Mason’s POV: “Mind if I join you, lovely ladies?” I say, flashing my most charming smile. “I couldn’t help but notice you all from afar—such beauty and elegance in one place. Especially you with the blonde hair. Those blue eyes of yours? Absolutely captivating.” She scowls, her irritation unmistakable. I grin wider as she pulls off her sunglasses, her movements sharp. She pushes her plate away in annoyance, nearly spilling her wine in the process. “What the hell are you doing here, Mason?” she snaps, her voice dripping with frustration. “Are you stalking me? Get out of here before you ruin my mood. I’m trying to stay happy,” she growls, her glare sharp enough to cut through steel. Her friends whisper among themselves, their eyes flicking between me and her. A few of them exchange knowing looks, their faces turning playful, flirtation sparking in their eyes when they hear my name. Jess picks up her glass of wine, her hand trembling slightly. “Isn’t it a little early to be

    Maximus POV The tension in the dimly lit room is suffocating. Everyone exchanges glances, uneasy, as they wait for me to speak. My anger is barely contained, simmering just beneath the surface. How could someone stoop so low? The audacity of trying to sabotage this project—a home for children who’ve never known comfort—has my blood boiling. What were they offered? Did they honestly think I wouldn’t find out? Or were they so stupid as to believe this would quietly disappear? I steal a glance at Raymond, sitting quietly across the room, and my chest tightens. The memory of that day replays in my head like a broken record. What if he hadn’t made it? What if he had fallen from the fourth floor? I wouldn’t be looking at him now—I’d be burying my best friend. That thought alone is enough to send chills through me. Raymond keeps joking about it, brushing it off like it’s no big deal, but it’s not funny. It never will be. If I had lost him, I don’t think I’d ever forgive myself. But no

    Jess’s POV Mason coming back to this city is turning out to be a bigger problem than I ever imagined. I’ve told Maximus over and over again to tell his brother to stay the hell away from me, but does he listen? No. Mason seems determined to make my life a living nightmare. I can’t shake the memory of the last time I saw him—the way he grabbed me by the throat in that restaurant. My heart was pounding, my body frozen with fear. In that moment, I thought he was actually going to kill me. He wasn’t the Mason I used to know. No, this version of him is darker, more vicious, more unhinged. I always knew Mason hated me, but hate me enough to strangle me? That’s a whole new level. And yet, I didn’t tell Maximus. How could I? If he found out about Mason, then he’d dig deeper, and eventually, he’d stumble on what happened with Kylie and my step-sister at the park. Somehow, in Maximus’s eyes, I’d always be the bad guy—especially since my little daughter decided to throw her tantrums for t

    Maximus’s POV "Have you lost your mind, Maximus?! What do you mean you shot him? Please don’t tell me he’s dead! And don’t tell me you dragged me here to help you get rid of a body!" Mason’s voice rises, panic seeping into every word. He yanks off his suit jacket, tosses it onto a chair, and loosens his tie before pacing back and forth like a madman. "And why didn’t you stop him, Raymond?" He halts suddenly, spinning toward Ray with a furious glare. "Instead, you’re standing there like a proud accomplice! What were you two even thinking? This isn’t you, Maximus. You don’t even own a gun! Who the hell gave you one in the first place?" I grumble under my breath, annoyed at his dramatics. “Relax, Mason. Stop panicking.” Raymond steps in before Mason can spiral any further, sighing heavily as he pinches the bridge of his nose. "For the record, the bastard Maximus shot deserved it. He’s the one who caused the accident at the construction site. The same guy who’s been sabotaging our

I don’t want to see you anywhere near my hospital. Did you really think that ridiculous disguise was going to fool me?" Without waiting for an answer, I yank the cap off his head and pull the scarf away from his face. Raymond grins, unfazed, and slides the glasses off his nose. "Hey, Selene, fancy seeing you here!" he says with that smug smile I hate. "I’m not trying to sneak into the hospital, I swear. I just sprained my ankle, and I’m here to get an X-ray to see how bad it is." "Spare me the crap, Raymond," I bite back, narrowing my eyes. "Tell me the real reason you’re here. What does Maximus want this time?" I glance down at his supposed injury, my scowl deepening. His ankle doesn’t look swollen or even remotely sore. Then I look back up, locking eyes with him. "And don’t give me that ‘sprained ankle’ nonsense. If it were

    Jess POV Being born into the Norman family and marrying into the Hemsworth family? Honestly, that’s the universe telling me how much they’re on my side. How else would I get to live this life? The wife of a billionaire, with endless shopping sprees, always the center of attention. Many would kill to be in my position, and I’m just so grateful Selene is out of the picture. If she were still around, she'd be the one enjoying all of this while I’d be stuck working my ass off somewhere. Whenever stress creeps in, I go on a shopping trip. It’s the only thing that helps with my anxiety. When I’m surrounded by luxury brands, nothing can touch my peace. I feel untouchable, like nothing could ruin my mood. But today? Today I got the shock of my life. I was standing at the counter, ready to pay, and the cashier informed me that all my credit cards have been frozen. I’m penniless. There’s no way Mason could’ve done this. He doesn’t have any of my bank details, and the cards weren’t ev

    Selene: Every morning, I wake up and turn on the news, only to see Maximus's name plastered across the screen again. The reporters are still desperately trying to drag his reputation through the mud. And yet, for some strange reason, I feel bad for him. I should be reveling in the fact that he’s finally getting a taste of his own medicine, but that’s not how I feel. Instead, I find myself worried about my kids overhearing his name, seeing his picture, and asking questions. After that incident with Anna being her usual curious self, I’ve been on edge, hoping they wouldn’t bring it up again. Thankfully, they haven’t. And Maximus? He’s been eerily quiet, no calls or texts flooding my phone like they usually do. I’m grateful, but part of me still finds myself glancing out the window, waiting for a glimpse of his car pulling into the parking lot. I don’t even know why I do that. Why am I still worried about him? It’s not like I still have any feelings for him. Maybe it’s just becaus

    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
