JOLIEI turned to Selena, and she had a pale look on her face now. Who would Adam choose? For my own sake, I hoped that Adam would choose to save Selena. But watching the look on his face, I wasn't so sure anymore. What if he decided that she was not worth the trouble and that he was not going to save her.?I looked at Adam's face, and I could tell that he was conflicted. This was his company. He had worked hard without any help to bring it to where he was. Was he really going to throw it all away for Selena? Did he really love her that much? A few months ago, I would have been convinced that he really did love Selena enough to throw away his life's hard work for her. But then, he just got married to someone else, so perhaps his feelings for her were not as strong? I looked at Selena, and I could see that she had a pale look on her face, like she was about to throw up. I didn't feel sorry for her though, the only thing I cared about was if I would leave this place with my life.
ADAM"She....she jumped down. All on her own! I don't know what she was thinking.... she heard....she heard when you said that you would not give up your company and Selena killed herself!" Jolie shouted. My face went pale when she said this, and I rushed to the edge. There was a calm sea beneath us, and I could not even see a sign of life in it. I tried to jump after Selena, but one of my men held me back. "CEO! Please don't do it! She is already dead! The sea is filled with dangerous sharks. There is no way that she is going to survive. If you jump in after her, you are just going to die too!" The man who held me back yelled. "No....no.....I don't believe it! There's no way that Selena can be dead! Find her! Call all of the men! Tell them that they have to find Selena! She's not dead! She can't be dead!" I yelled. "Argh! Lucian! Please let me go!" I heard Jolie shout just then. I looked at her and Lucian was strangling her and holding her off the edge of the rooftop. I didn't
JOLIE I coughed up a large amount of water, and some blood? I didn't know, I wasn't sure anymore. I wasn't sure of anything anymore. I looked around me as I tried to make sense of what was going on. When Lucian threw me into the sea, I was convinced that I was going to die. I was filled with so many regrets, but I was also happy, because I was not dying alone. I had made sure that bitch Selena had died too, and everyone would forever think that it was suicide! Looking at the rundown room though, it was obvious that I had not died. I was still very much alive. I looked at my body, and besides some scratches here and there, I was fine. I sneered, not only did I survive, I was in good shape. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life, and I didn't know where I was, but what I knew was that I was not going to resign to my fate just like that. I had been given a second chance at life, and I would use it well. Lucian would pay for all of the things that he's done to me. I st
LILYLucian took a seat next to me, with a smile on his face, as if a lot of things had not happened in the past few weeks. "What are you doing?" I asked as I frowned at him. "Why? Does your family own this bar? I didn't know that I can't be here just because you are here" he taunted me. "You know that's not what I meant! You know exactly what I meant!" I accused him. "Really? And what do you mean? Why don't you tell me?" He asked me, still giving me that evil smile. "Adam is currently looking for you. After what you did to Selena, he is going to kill you as soon as he gets his hand on you. Are you sure that you want him to do that?" I asked Lucian coldly. How could he even think about showing up in front of me when he knew that I was Adam's wife? Lucian shrugged, he really didn't seem to mind at all. "You can go ahead and tell him that I am here. I am sure that he would like to get his hands on me," Lucian said. I frowned, I was seriously considering calling Adam. I had neve
LILYTears gathered in my eyes, "you are going to pay for this. Just you wait! I will have your blood for this! You drugged me last night and took advantage of me!" I accused him. Lucian laughed out loud . "you were the one who was stupid enough to take a drink from me and drink it. Don't you know how to play safe?" He taunted me. "Anyway, I don't care. You can go ahead and report me the way you want. But are you sure that you can get away with that? Your husband Adam will finally have a reason to leave you once everyone finds out that I raped you. Are you sure that is something that you want?" He asked me. My face paled when he reminded me of this. I was already thinking about leaving Adam but I did not want to be dumped by him. I would never live down the embarrassment. I bit my lips, unsure of what I was going to do now. "If you are lucky, you should have leverage to hold on to Adam. " Lucian said. I did not understand what he meant at that moment but a few weeks later, when
LILYMy mother kept to her word, a few days later, I woke up next to Adam. He had been dead drunk the previous night and all I had to do was sneak into his bedroom and pretend like we had sex the previous night. It worked pretty well for me, because when he woke up, he was very angry. He kept yelling at me and saying that I had taken advantage of him. Adam pointed a finger at me angrily. "You're such a shameless whore! You know that I don't want to have anything to do with you and try you had the guts to come over to me and take advantage of me while I was drunk? I have never met anyone who is as shameless as you are!" Adam yelled at me. "Adam, don't forget the fact that I am your wife! Selena isn't even around anymore. Don't you think you can start a family with me? I will be really good to your daughter. I will treat her as mine....please, Adam, indeed of treating me like this, please just give me a chance!" I said to Adam. Adam rolled his eyes at me, "Don't you ever mentio
LILYMy face went pale when I heard this. I knew Adam was going to be mad once he found out about the pregnancy , but I had no idea that he would ask me to get an abortion directly! "What....what?" I asked. I was going crazy here! My mother stood up and pointed a finger at Adam angrily. "How dare you?! You slept with my daughter and you got her pregnant! And now we think that you can just ask her to get an abortion and run away from all of the responsibilities? Do you think of me and my husband has pushovers? Lily is in love with you and she is willing to do anything to be with you but we are not going to allow our daughter to be insulted like this!" My mother yelled. Adam sneered, "if you really cared about your daughter then you should have brought her up to be a better person I am sure that you know how she got pregnant for me. I really don't care about that baby you're carrying. I already have a daughter and she is the only child I am going to have in this life. Wherever you

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
