Maximus POV

She looks so different. She wasn't the woman who I was married to years ago.

Selena was timid and shy. She rarely spoke out and when she did, it was always in a low tone. But the woman who was standing before me, checking up on my mother was sophisticated, confident, and had a very strong aura surrounding her.

I felt as if I was looking at a complete stranger. If I wasn't awake, I would think that I was dreaming and I was in another dimension. A world where Selena was different.

She didn't even pay any attention to me. She rarely glanced in my direction.

I saw the look of hate in her eyes when she glanced at my mother. She spoke to her so emotionlessly. She couldn't fool me. There was no way Dr. Andrea was not Selena.

I have missed her all these years. I made a terrible mistake. I was blinded by anger and jealousy. I pushed away the best thing that had ever happened to me in my life.

Every day I woke up, it was a constant reminder that Selena was no longer with me. I no longer woke up beside her.

I missed her smile, the way she would cook food for me, singing humming a tone under her breath. The way that she would do some of the house chores, despite the fact that she was married to a billionaire.

I took her for granted. I used her. I always blamed her for not giving me a child. I loved her step-sister more than her.

I should have made my marriage work with Selena but instead, I was so hung up on Jess and now, she was so near to me but still far away. She no longer had that look of love in her eyes.

Her eyes were empty, void of any emotion. I completely broke Selena Norman. I took away her happiness but I was going to make her talk to me.

I don't care if she insisted that she was not Selena. I know my wife when I see her and no one can tell me otherwise.

"We have nothing to talk about Mr. Hemsworth. I have already taken care of your mother. She will be discharged very soon and you can take her home."

"Heed my advice and never returned to my hospital. Other than that, I don't think there is anything left for us to discuss."

She yanked her hands out from my grip, turning to face me.

"Selena. I know that you are angry with me but please give me a chance to explain. I have been looking for you everywhere. You just disappeared from the surface of the earth."

"I never knew that I would see you again. I know that you are angry with me but please Selena, just..."

"How many times do I have to tell you that my name is Andrea? I don't know who your Selena is and I don't care. If she left you, then it is for the better. I don't think someone would want to stay with a guy like you."

"You are wasting my time Mr. Hemsworth. Your mother isn't the only patient I have. I don't even know why you decided to come to this hospital. With all the money that you people have, you could have flown her out of the country, that is what you all are good at, right?"

"Flashing your money as if you are the most important people on the planet. I never want to see you again. I don't want to breathe the same air that you do. I don't even want you looking in my direction."

"You don't know me and you have never met me in your life. I never want to see you again Mr. Maximus Hemsworth. Leave my hospital once your mother is discharged."

"I don't care if you are the billionaire, I don't care if you can buy half the city. As long as you are in my building, you will do as I say. And what I want is for you to be gone, far away from me."

With every word that she said, I could feel the hate dripping from it.

There was no way she wasn't Selena. I just never thought that she would hate me this way.

I was already feeling defeated. She wasn't giving me a listening ear. Now I knew exactly how she felt years ago when she kept on calling my name and I did nothing but turn my back on her, walking into the house with Jess.

"I don't want to hear you saying that you are Andrea. You know that is a lie you are Selena, the woman that I was once married to and I know that nothing I say will make you change how you feel about me. I did a very terrible thing. I divorced you on the day of our anniversary and left you with nothing but please, I have changed. That is all in the past. There is nothing more that I want than you, Selena."

I tried to hold her hand again but she shoved me back roughly, her eyes hot with anger. If looks could kill, then I would be dead on the spot.

"Don't you ever lay your filthy hands on me? I don't want you and I would never want you. Not now, not ever. You are nothing to me, Mr. Maximus Hemsworth, so don't you ever come into my life, or I would go straight to the press and tell them of how a high-profile billionaire like you is trying to cheat on your wife with me."

"How do you like that for a scandal? The media would have a field day. Never show your face to me again or I will make sure you regret it," she hissed under her breath.

Giving me a very bone-chilling glare, she left in a hurry, her fist clenched by her side.

She was trying so hard to keep her anger in.

I stared at her retreating figure before making my way back into the room where my mother was admitted.

"It's her, isn't it? That Doctor is Selena, right? Your ex-wife. She looks so different, Maximus. An apology is not going to fix everything that we have put her through," my mom said looking disturbed.

For the first time in my life, I was lost for words.

I had no idea what to do and I had no idea how to get Selena back into my life. She was so determined not to have anything to do with me but I knew that was not going to stop me.

I was Maximus Hemsworth and I never back down that easily and this time, I wanted Selena more than anything else.

    Maximus POVI watched him as he toppled over in laughter, clutching his stomach. He adjusted his tie when he saw that I wasn't laughing with him, then cleared his throat and sat up straight.I rolled my eyes at his obvious mockery."Are you done? I don't know what is amusing but I am not finding this situation funny. I told you that my ex-wife is back and instead of you sympathizing with me, you are here, laughing at my demise. Seriously, I am starting to rethink our friendship, Raymond."With how red his face was, I knew he was trying to keep in his laughter but was fairly miserably.I don't understand why he was laughing. This situation wasn't funny. I was in crisis here."I am sorry. You know that you are my best friend, it's just that it is extremely funny that the woman you kicked away five years ago has now returned and she is no longer a nobody.""Who would have thought that she owns that big hospital?

The last thing I need is visitors. I didn't have a cardiac arrest, I just passed out from exhaustion," Maximus' mother grumbled under her breath.I almost rolled my eyes, glancing at my mother. If it wasn't for her forcing me to come and visit the old woman, I wouldn't have even made an appearance.I couldn't care less if she passed out and died. She was the least of my problems. Her death would make her stop breathing down my neck.She was really annoying for an old woman. I don't know what happened over the years but she was finding me unbearable.I thought she would finally treat me as a daughter but I guess I was wrong.The only reason she could tolerate me was because of my child.

    Selena's POV I have always loved being a doctor. It has been my passion. I don't think I can ever do something else besides my medical profession, no matter how emotionally and physically drained I am. It has been days since Maximus and his mother visited the hospital. Things are slowly returning to normal, even though a lot of my doctors keep whispering to each other. Apparently, we caught everyone's attention when Maximus was trying to talk to me and I was ignoring him. Everyone is wondering how I know the most important man in this city. They’re all awestruck by Maximus's looks, and I can’t blame them. It’s no secret that the Hemsworth family has striking features. I have to be careful, though, to ensure that Maximus doesn’t see his children. One good look at Anna, and he would know that my children must be related to him somehow. I am not going to lose them, even if he chooses to get them through legal means. I don’t know how long I can keep this secret. What if my children

She believed every bit of his lie even though he was coming to meet me every day.I always loved it when he reassured me that he was going to divorce her very soon and get married to me.Whenever I remember his happy look when I reached out to him after my return, I can never forget how ecstatic he looked when he saw me that day.

    Jess Pov “Why exactly are we all sitting down here? Some of us have businesses to get to. I haven't yet opened up my store but here I am, sitting down, waiting for our dear princess." I watched as one of them grumbled. "I think she'll be here soon so if I were you, I would mind what I say. You know how bossy she tends to get if we don't give her all the attention she craves. She will throw a tantrum and act like she is better than us. What a stuck-up b****." I can't believe I called these girls my friends. It is a good thing I chose a private room for our lunch. I can't say that I am surprised they all felt that way about me. I have never really felt any connection with these girls. They were nothing more than my sidekicks. People who I used when I needed to get a dirty job done. "If it wasn't because of her husband, she isn't anything. Sometimes I wonder what that handsome billionaire saw in Jess. She is nothing but a b**** thinking that she is better than everyone else. Th

Why is that? Did you seriously think I wouldn't find out? I am quite disappointed that you didn't learn anything about me when we were still together.""I have always looked at you as a smart woman but you have disappointed me in a very big way."I kept quiet because I had no idea what he was talking about.I don't even know what Maximus was doing here or how he found out where I lived. He has been stalking me ever since he saw me at the hospital and it was making me uncomfortable."I have no time for your riddles, Maximus. What the hell are you talking about?

My father would never do this because he condoned shady businessmen like you. Do you think you can hide under the umbrella of my business?" Maximus started, glaring daggers at him."Drug possession, trafficking of illegal firearms. Your son was charged with sexual assault.

    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.

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 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

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.
