Selene’s POV

Even though my body is still recovering, I can't stand being cooped up in bed all day. I’ve never been the type to let an injury slow me down, especially when there’s so much work to be done.

Sure, I can’t move around like I used to, but I can still stay engaged. So, I come into the hospital every day, sitting in my office, reading patient files, diving into research.

There’s always something new—another case, a diagnosis I haven’t seen before, something out of the ordinary in the medical field. Staying busy helps me not to think about my own circumstances.

The hospital staff has been treating me like I’m fragile, and I don’t like it. Avery, especially, has been hovering, as if one wrong step will cause me to break. I appreciate her care, but I don't want to be coddled.

Mason, on the other hand, has been a breath of fresh air. He treats me like nothing’s changed.

He keeps coming around, cracking jokes, and keeping me grounded. I’m grateful for that, especially becau

    Maximus’s POV "Is there a reason my daughter has been staying with your parents for more than a week? I haven’t seen Kylie in forever. Why’d you take her there? Are you trying to keep her away from me, Maximus?!" Jess snaps, her words tumbling out all at once—half complaint, half accusation. “What’s next? Are you handing her over to Selene, your ex-wife? Or are you gearing up to paint me as the villain again? Huh? What’s it going to be this time? She should be here with us right now, sitting at the table, having breakfast like a normal family. Instead, you ship her off to her grandparents and expect me to be okay with it?” Her voice grates on my nerves, and it’s way too early for her whining. My plate’s already full, and she’s piling on more. "I don’t need to make you look like the bad guy, Jess. You’ve got that down to an art," I say, my tone sharp as a blade, a laugh that’s more cruel than amused slipping out. "And for the record, your daughter—because that’s how you like t

    Selene's POV “I can’t believe summer’s finally here! Isn’t this your favorite time of year? So why the long face? Don’t tell me you’re already missing me,” I tease, leaning closer to the screen. “It’s just a one-week conference, and you’re the one who volunteered to go, remember?” Avery’s jaw drops, and she quickly slaps her hand over the camera. I bite back a laugh as muffled screams echo in the background. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out she’s screaming into her pillow. “Selene, be serious,” she groans, finally looking back at me. “I wish you were here! Dr. Riley is the worst. She’s been glued to her books the entire time. A whole week of this? Ugh. When I get back, I’m spending three days straight at the beach—sunbathing, tanning, and ignoring the world.” She sighs dramatically, resting her chin on her hand. But something feels off. Her eyes are puffy, and she looks… offbeat. My teasing melts into concern. “Avery, are you okay?” I ask, scanning her face as she f

    Maximus’ POV Mason keeps staring at me, looking confused. Things have been tense between us for weeks, especially since I found out about the little stunt he pulled with Selene. I know he’s been avoiding me like I have the plague, and honestly, I don’t care to figure out whatever game he’s playing. I made it clear—Selene is off-limits. But apparently, Mason has gotten bold. He didn’t propose to her, but the way he acted in those pictures and videos? The sly little gestures? People are running wild with assumptions, and it pisses me off every time I hear them talking about it. I wonder how Selene is handling all of this. Is she happy? She’s never been one to enjoy public attention. “Alright, you two have been staring at each other for way too long, and the testosterone in this room is getting unbearable. Maximus, if you’ve got something to say to Mason, now’s the time,” Raymond says, dragging me out of my thoughts. I shoot him a glare, almost forgetting he was even here. He ju

    Selene: For the fifth time, I reject Mason’s call and finally switch off my phone. He’s been blowing up my phone all day—calls, texts, back to back. I don’t even know what to say to him. This is just… awkward. He’s my best friend. He cannot be my lover. I’ve never seen him that way, never even considered it. Not once have I pictured myself dating Mason, letting him take care of me the way a partner would. Don’t get me wrong—Mason is handsome. Any woman would be lucky to have him. And I know if I gave him a chance, he would love me, cherish me. But that’s the thing—I don’t want a chance with him. I don’t feel that way about him. He’s like a brother to me, my best friend. So why is he pushing this so hard? What is he hoping for? He couldn’t even give me a real reason why he wanted to date me. He never told me what he saw in me that made him think this—us—was a good idea. The only explanation he gave was that he was in love with me. And I don’t know why, but I find that so har

    Jess: What is taking her so long? Doesn’t she realize how cold it is out here? I can’t believe I had to leave the comfort of my warm bed to meet her in this storm. The rain is pouring down, making everything worse. I should be at home, relaxing, watching N*****x. Instead, I’m out here, in the middle of this mess, trying to brainstorm ideas on how to bring Selene down. And I know there’s only one person who can help me do that. I can’t hurt her directly anymore—not with Mason hovering over me, watching my every move like I’ve got a target on my back. I’ve been careful to keep my end of the bargain, but my fingers itch with the need to cause her pain. I want to see her suffer. The last time I saw her, she was looking healthy and strong, no longer limping around like she used to. It infuriates me. I’m tempted to hire someone—heavy artillery, maybe even a sniper—to just end it all with one bullet. But that would be too easy. I want Selene to look me in the eye as she dies, to see

    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 chuckles beside me, and I glance at her. She's smiling widely while watching Anna and Asher. I'm glad she loves my kids as much as I do. "How could I forget?" She laughs, a wide grin on her face. "They almost gave Mom a heart attack. When they were bouncing off the trampoline, I thought she was going to pass out from fear." We both chuckle, reminiscing about the chaotic day. She smiles before walking away with my children toward the toy section. My phone rings, and I furrow my brows when I see an unknown number. I swipe to answer, but the person on the other end stays quiet. All I hear is their heavy breathing. "Selene Norman, leaving your kids unattended was a mistake," a voice sneers, and my heart skips a beat. "Now watch me take them away from you. Time is ticking. Can you save them, or will you never see them again? You

    Selene’s POV: The panic consumes me, and my voice shakes with frustration. "Please help me find them and tell me what the hell happened, because I am confused and losing my mind here!" Nelly looks horrified but remains silent. I don’t have time to wait for her explanation. I take off, ignoring the people I bump into, my only focus on finding Anna and Asher. My heart races as I run through the mall, but it feels like I'm just going in circles, each turn bringing me nowhere closer to them. I stop in the middle of the mall, frustration boiling over as I try to get my bearings. Nelly must have gone to ask for another announcement, but I can’t wait. I keep looking around, scanning every face, every corner, when—there they are. Anna and Asher, walking toward me, looking so normal, so unbothered. My heart leaps, but then I stop dead in my tracks as I see who's with them. Maximus. What the hell is happening right now? My breath catches in my throat. As Anna and Asher approach, holdi

    Selene's POV I’ve been feeling completely overwhelmed ever since Maximus found out about the children. I know I’ve been acting differently—on edge, constantly looking over my shoulder. Every time I hear a knock on the door, I expect it to be him, barging in, demanding that I hand over Anna and Asher. Or worse, that he takes it to court, dragging my children into a battle they don’t deserve. I don’t want them to go through that trauma. And now, the threats. The same unknown number that called me at the mall—taunting me while my children were missing—called Nelly, too. That can’t be a coincidence. No one else knows about my children except Maximus. It has to be him. He’s trying to spook me, to make me panic, to make me slip up. But I won’t. What worries me most is the thought of him telling his family. If they find out, they’ll come after us. Cecilia Hemsworth especially. She was the one who made my life a living hell, calling me barren, telling me I was a disgrace to th

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
