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
SELENALucian walked over to us, anger evident on his face. He frowned when he saw the hand print on my face, then, without a word, he turned and slapped Jolie hard on her face. "Argh!" She screamed and fell to the ground, Jolie looked a sorry mess on the floor. I covered my mouth with my hand to stop my gasp from escaping. Lucian looked like the devil from hell as he glared at Jolie. This was not the man who always had a smile on his face whenever he saw me. No, Lucian looked like a whole different person now. It turned out that I did not know him as much as I thought I did. "You had better know your place, Jolie, who the heck do you think you are to lay a hand on Selena?" Lucian asked her coldly. Jolie looked up, anger and bitterness in her eyes ."Do you think that she will fall in love with you just because you're acting like this? You're just making a fool of yourself, Lucian! You're crazy! Completely crazy, Lucian! Even Selena thinks so! She thinks that you've lost your m
SELENAI had no idea how long I had been sitting on the ground for, but I knew that I could not continue to do so. I had to get up and think of what I was going to do with myself. I looked outside, and I could tell that it was dark. I walked out of the bedroom and for a split second, I thought Lucian was going to come out of the walls to stop me. No one stopped me though, and I walked around the house, looking for Jolie. I was sure that she was here, somewhere. I had heard her screaming earlier. Lucian was probably hitting her. I badly wanted to rush over to save her, but I knew that would probably leave her in more danger and so I held back. I found a bedroom door that was slightly ajar , feeling like it was Jolie's bedroom, I pushed the door open and walked in. She sneered as soon as she saw me, and Jolie pointed coldly at the door. "I want you to get out," she said coldly. "Jolie," I sighed , "I know that you don't like me. In fact, I feel the same way about you. I don't lik
ADAM"I heard that you're accusing Lily of kidnapping your mistress?" My father asked me as soon as he walked into my office, he had been trying to see me for the past few days but I refused to see him. I did not have the time to deal with either my father nor Lily. I was focused on finding Selena. The good thing was that, I finally had a lead on where she might be. There was no way Jolie could have planned to kidnap Selena all by herself and so I did some digging. I found out that she had been missing for the past few days, and it was not hard for me to find out that Lucian was the last person she saw before she went missing. I did not know where they were right now, but I knew that Lucian must definitely have a hand in what happened to Selena. In fact, there was a good chance that he was the one who kidnapped her. I was filled with fear whenever I thought about whatever Lucian might be doing to her. He was in love with Selena....was he doing all of this because he wanted to b
ADAMLily linked her hands with mine, and she had a big smile on her face. She seemed to want to show off to everyone that I was married to her but I could not put up with it anymore. I was losing my mind, and so I shoved her away and walked towards the open bar. I picked up a glass of wine and drank all of its contents at once. Lily was by my side in no time and this time, she had an annoyed look on her face. "What do you think you're doing?" She asked me coldly. I turned to her, pretending not to know where she meant. "What do you mean?" I asked and shrugged. "Don't you dare play those games with me. Are you thinking of abandoning me? Well, let me just make it clear to you that it won't be possible. Don't even think about leaving me here!" She warned me. "Lily, don't push it too far. You wanted me to show up here with you and I did just that. What else do you want me to do?" I asked her, I was really irritated. I hated the fact that I had to be seen with this woman. "Adam, do
LUCIANI picked up and vase and threw it at the man standing in front of me. I was in my study , and he had come to with to report that they could not find Adam. "What the heck is wrong with you?! It was just a little girl! You had such a great opportunity! All you had to do was take her away! Are you foolish?!" I yelled at the man in front of me. "I thought that since Adam wouldn't be around, it would be easier for me to take her. I did not go with enough men, and they stopped me before I could get to her. It's a good thing that I was able to come back with my life!" The man said. "Hell, you should have just died there! Didn't I tell you that you could not come back if you did not finish the mission I gave to you? You are so useless! Just get out. Get the fuck out!" I yelled at the man. He turned and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, I saw Selena standing outside, a pale look on her face. "What are you doing here?" I asked her coldly. She stepped into the study and mad
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
