SELENA

"Lucian, what are you doing here?" Jolie was the first person to speak up.

She had a sweet smile on her face, and she looked nothing like the woman who had been threatening me just seconds away. I rolled my eyes.

Jolie was still the same person that she was seven years ago. A pretender. She only knew how to pretend to be something else in front of everyone.

I was really getting sick and tired of her behaviour.

"Well, I came here shopping with a female friend..." Lucian looked back and I followed his eyes.

I could see a woman who was looking at clothes a short distance away from us. I sneered.

Lucian had still not changed. He was still the same playboy that he was in the past.

He was best friends with Adam seven years ago, and the way it looked, they were still best friends.

He did try to contact me after I left, but I wanted nothing to do with Adam and my past life when I left and so I didn't respond to him at all.

I was sure that woman was his latest girlfriend.

    SELENAI was sitting in a cafe with Lucian. He kept looking at me with an odd smile on his face and that really threw me off. I did not understand what he wanted from me and so I had my guards up. "You don't need to be so scared of me, you know. I am not going to eat you. It's just been so long and I really wanted to catch up with you. I want to know what you've been doing all these years," he said to me. I shook my head. "I have been doing well, I guess? Nothing much. I just worked hard to get to where I am today" I said simplyI did not want to give away too much information about my life. I knew it would just go back to Adam anyway. "Come on now Selena. You can't just brush me off with that. Can you tell me what has actually been going on in your life all this while? I am really curious and I do want to know. What do you think?" He asked me. "I...." I opened my mouth to say something, but I held back. "Why do you want to know, Lucian? I don't think that we are that close. I d

    I was pacing in my office. I knew I had to do something, and I had to do it quickly. Selene was never going to agree to be with me if I did not get divorced from Jolie. But Jolie was refusing....I had to find a reason to divorce her. Something that she won't be able to refuse no matter what. I was still brooding when my office door was pushed open and someone walked in. I sighed when I saw that it was Lucian. He was the only one who could come into my office without knocking. "What are you doing here?" I asked him as I took a seat. "I have not seen you since the meeting. I wanted to come see you and see if you are doing well. You have been avoiding me. Did something happen?" Lucian asked me. I rolled my eyes. "You saw her that day didn't you? She's back. She's the last person that I thought I would see again. She's ....she's so much more beautiful than she was in the past. I know that I fucked up when I asked her to leave without listening to her side but I am really sorry. I am

    ADAMI smiled when I heard this. I wondered why I had not thought of it in a long time. Of course, I could always get a divorce as long as Jolie cheats on me.! "Thank you so much! I am sure that I will be able to get a divorce from her in no time!" I said excitedly. Lucian rolled his eyes. "'Come on now. You know that she's never going to leave you. She is not going to cheat on you stupidly. She knows where she stands to lose if she does it. Do you think that Jolie is stupid?" Lucian asked me. "That woman is dumber than you think. With the right push, she will do it. You don't need to worry about how I am going to do it. You just need to know that I am going to do it!" I said firmly. Lucian scoffed "Anyway, that's none of your business. I did not come here to talk about your issues with your wife. There's this new business I want to venture into. It's building ships. It's really profitable now. I think that we can make a lot of money if we work on this together. We need an inves

    ADAMWhen I got back home that day, Jolie was sitting up waiting for me. I was instantly in a bad mood. I had been in a good mood all day thinking about how I was going to finally get rid of her and be with the person I really loved. But seeing her face ruined all of that for me. There was a time when I didn't hate Jolie. At least she used to be my mistress before she became my wife but these days, I just could not bring myself to stand her. I wanted to get rid of her in any way that I could. She really got on my nerves. I could not stand her! Jolie had to know how I felt about her because she frowned when she saw my face. But then, she smiled again. She really did not care. As long as she stayed married to me and continued to enjoy the benefits of being my wife, I was sure that she did not care about anything else. She was all about herself. "You came back home early today. What happened?" Jolie asked me. She walked over to me and tried to put her hands on me but I just pushed

    JOLIE Tears gathered in my eyes but I held it back. I really didn't want to cry because of Adam and Selene. I did not think that both of them were worth my tears. "Adam ..you are going to regret this. You are going to regret ever treating me like this. Selene is going to hurt you and leave you again. Then you are going to realize that I am the only one who's truly here for you!". I snapped at Adam. I turned and started to walk out of the bedroom. It used to be easy for me to seduce Adam. Even if he hated me before this, he did not refuse having sex with me for any reason. But ever since Selene returned ...he changed. "Jolie.." Adam called out to me. I turned to look at him, excitedly. I thought he was going to apologize for the way that he had treated me. He was going to tell me that he was sorry and that he did not mean to treat me in the way that he did. "I really don't care what you do, but you had better leave Selene alone. She did not do anything to you. But you've been t

    JOLIE When I opened my eyes the next morning, I was lying on a strange bed. I looked around me and I realised that I was in a hotel room. I jumped up at once as I tried to remember what happened and how I got here. The events of the previous day started to come back to me. Adam had been mean to me as he usually was and I felt like I could not take it anymore. I had gone to the bar to drink and somehow I was talking to this guy and then we left the bar. I remember that he had brought me back to the hotel....I didn't want to go in with him at first but I was really drunk and there was no way that I could stop myself. I ended up having sex with him.Just thinking about it made me want to slam my head on a wall. I really hated that I had been so foolish! I knew better than to have sex with a man that I barely knew! Besides, I was married to Adam! If Adam found out about this, it would be the end of our marriage! He had been looking for ways to divorce me and this was the perfect exc

    Jolie had a pitiful look on her face when she asked me this but I knew better than to fall for her tricks. She was just doing this to make me feel sorry for her, then she would be back to being the evil woman she was. "I thought you had decided you didn't want to continue with this marriage anymore. I was really happy when you left. I am disappointed that you decided to come back!" I told her the truth. I seriously thought that Jolie had had enough and that she was going to leave me on her own. I should have known that a gold digger like her would never do that. Jolie looked like she was going to cry. "For goodness sake ,.I am your wife. I left the house really late yesterday. Anything could have happened to me. Don't tell me that you don't care about me at all? Even a little bit?" She asked me. "I really don't care at all Jolie. What exactly do you want to hear from me? I already told you I didn't want to be married to you anymore. Did you really think I would care for you?" I a

    SELENA "What do you mean? What exactly do you want?" I asked Adam. I looked away from him when I said this. I knew the kind of effect Adam had on me and I knew that I would not be able to control myself around him if things continued like this. He just approached me. I tried to walk away but Adam had already gotten to me. He grabbed my hand and pinned it to the chair. Then he looked at me in the eye. "I love you. I already made that clear. I never stopped loving you. I just want you to give me a chance to show you that I can be a really good husband. Why can't you just do that?" He asked me. Tears gathered in my eyes but I held it back. I was not going to break down and cry here. "No, our relationship is already over. When you refused to believe me when I told you that I didn't chest, I knew there was no trust between us and that our marriage should never have happened in the first place!" I said firmly. I wasn't as confident as I sounded, but I had to do something, just about

    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
