ADAMMy father threw a cup at me as soon as he was me, I dodged, and this made him even angrier. "Did you ask me to come here because you want to hit me?" I asked him, unbothered by how angered he was. I could already guess why he was angry. Lily probably already ran to him and told him that Selena was pregnant. I did not care what Lily and my father thought of this, I would not be letting Selena and our kids go. I had already given in by getting married to Lily. There was nothing else they could get from me. "Are you telling me that you don't know why I asked you to come here?! I don't know why I have a son like you! Are you stupid? You are already married to a good woman like Lily, why the heck are you still chasing after that Selena woman?! And what? Is she pregnant again?" My father asked me again. I rolled my eyes, completely unbothered. "If you think that Lily is so great, you can get a divorce from mom and get married to her. I think you both will make a great couple!" I
"Let me call him and talk to him myself he is my uncle. I am sure that he won't reject me if I am the one who's asking," I said. My mother shook her head, "I have underestimated how petty my brother can be. He has been holding a grudge for almost twenty five years now. I can't believe this! It's all because of that wife of his! My brother used to be so nice to me .but ever since he married her, he became a completely different person!" My mother said. I tried my best not to scoff at my mother, I knew that she had no one else but herself to blame for the relationship she had with my uncle right now. If only she had admitted that she was wrong back then....and even now, she was still trying to push the blame to his wife. "Mom, it's not as if I am trying to criticise you, but do you think what you are doing makes sense? You know that uncle values his wife over anything else. He loves her more than he loves his wife. And yet you still go ahead and badmouth her. Of course, you are goin
SELENAI looked outside the window, I no longer had any sense of time, I had no idea how much time had passed. Adam had kept to his word, and he made sure that I did not leave the house. Even when I had gone on a hunger strike, he refused to let me leave. I knew that he was not playing now....that man, he would never let go of me. I could not believe that Adam was the man that I had fallen in love with. It was as if Adam had been kidnapped by aliens and a devil had replaced him. Yes, the Adam I knew now as a complete demon. I started to eat when I realised that he would not let me go, but then, because I was not happy, I felt and looked sick all the time. I looked outside the window again, was this how I was going to live the rest of my life?!Unable to leave this place , raising children for Adam?!I thought about leaving as soon as I gave birth to the baby I was carrying, but I gave up that idea. I knew I would never be able to leave without my kid. If I was going to leave th
SELENAI followed the instructions that Jolie gave to me, and I found myself at an old abandoned building. I frowned, unsure of whether I should go in or not. I knew I was doing something very dangerous. Although Jolie sounded desperate on the phone, she was not my friend, and I really did not have any obligations to help her out. I sighed, wondering if it would have been better for me to have just listened to Adam and stayed at home. I took one more deep breath, reminding myself that Adam had sent bodyguards after me and there was no way anything could go wrong. I wanted to call Jolie again, but I remembered that she had told me she was calling me from a phone that she borrowed from someone else. I walked into the building, looking around me suspiciously. Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm from behind. I wanted to scream, but I calmed down when I saw that it was Jolie. At first, I could not recognize her. She was just a shadow of her former self. I had no idea what she had been
SELENAI took a deep breath, unsure of where I was. I had been awake for a few minutes now, and it dawned on me that I had been kidnapped. Once again, I had been fooled by Jolie! She called me out and pretended to be pitiful so she could kidnap me! I wondered who put her up to it, was it Philp or was it Lily? Or was it both of them working together?!I waited for the person behind the kidnapping to come, I knew the person would show up soon. He would not be able to stay away forever. Just as I had expected, a few minutes later, the door was opened, but it was not who I had been expecting. It was Lucian! My eyes went wide when I saw him, and a smile appeared on my lips. The last time I was kidnapped, he was the one who showed up to save me. I decided that I really needed to find time to thank him for all of the things he's done for me. Although he made me feel uncomfortable, he had gone out of his way to help me so many times. "Lucian! Thank goodness that you are here! How did
ADAMI threw a vase at the head of my bodyguards. "What do you mean you can't find her?! It was your damn job to take care of her. What the heck am I even paying you for if you can't do this?" I asked, angrily. They all looked scared, but it didn't matter to me. Selena was missing, and that was the only thing I could think of. "She went....she went into the building on her own. She told us...she told us that she wanted to meet with her friend on her own...we didn't go in with her because she asked us not to...by the time we got there, she was no longer there," the head of the bodyguard explained. "Are you stupid?! She said that you should not follow her and you actually listened to that?" I asked. I was afraid, afraid that my father and Lily had their hands on Selena now and they were torturing her. I knew Selena, I knew she cared about Ariel, she would never leave without her, so the thought that she had run away did not even cross my mind. "Sir...."I waved my hand, "Find ou
SELENA"I was the one who saw you first. I was the one who fell for you first. But Adam showed up and charmed you. He fooled you and made you believe that you were in love with him. I will return things to how they were. You and I....we were supposed to be together from the beginning," Lucian said. He had a crazed look in his eyes and he seemed on the verge of losing his mind. I really didn't understand how he came to this conclusion. What the heck was wrong with him, anyway?."Lucian.....this....this isn't true....I love Adam....I...." "Shut up! You don't know anything! You've been fooled by that man all your life. How the heck are you supposed to know what love is?" Lucian barked at me. I flinched and curled when he asked me this, my heart pounding fast against my chest. I had never been so scared before, it was driving me completely crazy .He was nice to me one second, and then yelled at me the next. I knew that Lucian was unstable and that I had to do everything to make sure
SELENA "Don't even think about leaving. It's useless," I turned and saw Jolie staring at me, a lifeless look in her eyes. I rushed at Jolie and slapped her hard immediately. "This is all your fault. How dare you do this to me, Jolie?! I came to you because you begged me! I really wanted to help you, and this was the best way you could think of to pay me back?" I yelled at her. I tried to slap her again, but Jolie just pushed me away from her, and I fell to the ground. "Do you think I want to be in this situation either?" She asked ,.sneering at me. "You're a disgusting person, Jolie. Even after all of the things that you've done, I was still willing to risk my life and come to save you, but you actually fooled me!" I yelled at her. "Well , you fell for it because you're stupid. I really didn't believe this was going to work but it turned out that you're more stupid than I thought. We have been enemies for a long time. Why would you think I would come to you for help if I was in
SELENAI got into my car angrily. I was prepared to drive over to the house of Lily's mother and question are about what was going on. How could her daughter have the audacity to pass off someone else's child as Adams child for five years?However just as I was about to start my car I failed a gun pressed to my forehead. I turned slowly, and Lucian was in the car, staring obsessively at me. Adam had told me that Lucian was back and that he was the son of one of his business partners. I knew that I would run into Lucian sooner or later and I was worried about what the meeting was going to be like. But I never in my life thought that he would be in my car with a gun to my head. "Lucian what is the meaning of this? Do you know that this is a crime? How dare you point a gun at my head?" I asked. "Get the heck out of the driver seat. I am sick and tired of doing this with you, Selena. I keep waiting and thinking that you will come back to your senses and you will see that Adam is not
SELENA"So you are saying that you want to get back together with Adam? Look, I know that you love that man, and I guess I should have known that you were going to go back to him when you insisted on coming here. But are you sure that you can really do it this time? This is the third time that you will be getting back together with Adam. The first two times did not work. Why do you think that it is going to work now?" Ryan had a worried look on his face as he asked me all of these questions. Although my brother sounded a bit harsh I knew that he was just asking me this because he was worried about me. "I have already made up my mind Ryan. I am going to get back together with Adam and I will make sure that our relationship works out this time. We have been through a lot together and we have grown a lot. So we can definitely make it work as long as we put in the effort. We are already together, anyway. And even though you and dad might not like it, we have a right to be happy," I sai
My heart sank to my chest when I heard the familiar voice of Jenson. I turned back slowly, and I saw the man who was supposed to be dead, sitting on the bed, a cold look on his face. I screamed, and my phone fell from my hand. "You..... aren't you.... aren't you dead?" I asked him. I shook my head, forcing myself to think quickly. He wasn't dead just yet! I couldn't let him realise I was trying to murder him! I threw myself at Jenson and started to cry. "Jenson ...baby ...I am so glad that you are alive. I was so scared ...I was calling the ambulance and Lucian....I really wouldn't have known what to do if you had indeed been dead. Can you please not scare me like that next time? I don't think I'll be able to live on if you die!" I said, crying real tears. I was crying because my plan had failed when I was so close, but he didn't need to know that. Jenson just needed to think that I was crying because he almost died.Jenson pushed me away coldly, a sneer on his face. "Do you
JOLIEI left Jenson into the house that I had rented out for our vacation. I made sure that it was a place far away from the city so that it wouldn't be easy to trace what would happen back to me. He was already old anyway, and I was sure that his death would be chalked up to a heart attack. Besides, Lucian wouldn't really care to find out what happened to his father, not when he was busy spending his money. The past few days have helped me realize that Lucian was only sticking around for the money that he could get from Jenson. He really didn't care for him as a father, and I thought that Lucian would thank me even if he found out what I did. I got rid of the man standing between his inheritance , he should be thankful to me. "Are you sure that it's a good idea for us to come here, Jolie? There is hardly any network. How am I going to communicate with the people at work?" Jenson asked me as he looked around the house. "Come on Jenson, you said that you only have today to spare
SELENA I was disgusted when I heard Lily say these things. I always knew that she was not a good woman, but the fact that she could just hand her son away and demand that and didn't want to hear from him ever again...it was really really cold. "Lily, what kind of mother are you? This is your son! Adam wants custody of the kid but that doesn't mean that he wants to take the kid away from you forever! He still wants you to be in his life. Why are you doing this to the kid?" I asked. I looked at Daniel who was clinging on to his father, and I felt my heart breaking for him. He was a kid who clearly needed love, but with a mother like Lily, it was obvious that he never got any of that love. "Oh please, you don't have to pretend like you're such an amazing woman, Selena. Isn't this what you wanted? You have your man back, and you even gained a son in the process. You should be happy since you beat me, why are you acting like you care?" Lily sneered at me. "Some of us have kids that
ADAM"Philp, I want a divorce. I am sick and tired of this. I can't tell such a crazy lie, and I can't continue to live with you. I want to leave. Please let me go," my mother said.There was complete silence after she said this. I could not believe that my mother had really asked for a divorce. I had tried to get her to feed a divorce from this man several times but she refused to listen to me.She was convinced that he was the love of her life, and there was nothing that could change her mind. "Janet? Are you mad?! I brought you here to fix the issue that you created and you are telling me that you want a divorce? What are you going to do when you get a divorce?! Where do you think you are going to do if you leave me?" My father yelled at her. My mother smiled, and for the first time in my life, I saw her relaxed. It was as if she had let go of all of the burdens she was carrying as soon as she said that she wanted to divorce my father. "I don't know yet, I am going to get a jo
ADAMMy mother was a sobbing mess and my father had an angry look on his face when I walked into my living room. Selena had been really close to agreeing to being with me again, and so I was dealt mad that these people had come to disturb me at such a time. I was especially angry at my father. I could not bring myself to give him even a single shred of respect, after all of the things that he did to me. "What are you doing here?" I asked coldly, without looking at my father. The tempo of her tears increased but I didn't let it affect me.Although my mother had nothing to do with what happened back then, I could not help but resent her a bit. If she hasn't been "sick" I would never have lost Selena. She was the catalyst for what happened five years ago. "Adam, I don't know what your mother told you yesterday, but she was imagining things. She's old now and she's thinking all kinds of things in her head. You saw her medical records back then, now why on Earth would I fake her hav
SELENA My head was hurting when I woke up the next morning. It took a few seconds, but I recalled what had happened the previous night. Adam and I slept together once again. My lips twitched, this was not what I wanted. This was not how I thought things were going to go when I decided to come back. But nothing was going my way ever since I came back. I knew that with Adam and I, it was never really simple. I had to think about what I was going to do about our relationship now, especially since we already had two kids together. I could not ignore the elephant in the room. Just then, Adam walked out of the bathroom, wearing his pyjamas, and with his hair still wet. It was obvious that he had just taken a bath. He flashed me a smile that made my heart melt when our eyes met. "Are you awake? Ariel has already been sent to school, if you want breakfast, I can make something for you," he offered. I laughed lightly, "Do you even know how to cook?"The Adam I knew in the past was dis
SELENA"Can you please stop doing this, Adam? I know that you're angry, but do you think that drinking yourself to a stupor like this is going to solve anything for you?" I asked, feeling really drained. After his mother had left, Adam had come to the bar, claiming that he needed to drink to forget the things that had happened. I could not just leave him to himself, what he found out was pretty damaging, and so I decided to come with Adam to make sure that he didn't hurt himself or someone else. A sad look was on my face as I watched him gulp down all of the beer. At this rate, he was going to be sick. Did Adam think he could get anything out of acting out like this? "You can just leave if you don't want to be here with me, it's not as if I am forcing you anyway," he said coldly. Even though I knew he was drunk and I shouldn't let his words get to me, I could not help but feel a bit hurt. I could not understand why he was acting like this. Did he really need to be such an assho
