SELENA It had been a few days since I got back from the hospital and regained my eyesight, but I was already sick and tired of staying at home. I wanted to go had to work, I wanted to do anything, but my parents and brother would not hear of it. They were convinced that I was still sick and that I needed to rest. It wasn't as if I needed to earn a living, anyway. I was sick and tired of staying in my bedroom, and so I decided to go talk to my father..I would convince him to give me a job in his company, or I could even get him to get my company back for me. I remembered that Adam had taken over my company back then when he forced me to live in his house as his mistress..I had no idea what had happened to the company, but I didn't want it to remain in the hands of Adam. I was about to enter my father's study, when I heard a loud crash. I took a peek in and I saw that he had thrown a vase at the wall angrily. My father was not some who lost his temper easily so I knew that wh
JOLIE"Lily....how could you hit me? I just wanted to give you advice....I heard about the relationship you have with your husband....you can just tell me if you don't need it. You don't need to hit me and call me a gold digger, " I said. I knew there was someone behind me, and I said those things so the person could hear. I wanted to get Lily in trouble, to make people think of her as an unreasonable woman. If people thought badly of his wife, it would only be a matter of time before Adam's reputation was affected! "What are you talking about? Do you think that you're on the same level as me? You're just a gold digging slut who married an old man for money. You had better watch the way you speak to me!" Lily scolded me.She still had not realized what was going on."Miss Lily....no matter what, she is still the host of the event today, you can't speak to Jolie like this when she was just trying to help you as a good nurse," someone spoke up just then. Lilly and Jolie turned to
LILY"Lily, what's with the look on your face? I thought you said that you would attend an event as Adam's wife? I really don't know why it is so difficult for you to win the heart of a man. Already arranged everything for you 5 years ago. You even have a son that she can use to hold on to Adam and yet you are still not able to do anything. You are still just his wife in name. How long are you going to continue living like this?"My mother did not hold back when she scolded me. Over the years she has helped me a lot and created a lot of opportunities for me to get closer to Adam. However no matter what we did he was just unwilling to look at me. I was a terrible person to him. "Mom do you think that I am not trying? I have done all that I can. I even have a son for him and Philp has accepted my son as the future heir but you know that all of that doesn't mean anything. Adam is the one who is in charge now and if it doesn't accept my son there is nothing else that we can do" I said.
Just who is this woman and what does she have to do with you anyway?" My mother asked me. "I said she's Adam's ex wife....she is doing all of this because she wants Adam back. She made me make a fool of myself today and Adam is mad at me because of her. She has an old husband and now she thinks she can do whatever she wants. Hmph! I am going to show her she's not a match for me!" I swore. My mother rolled her eyes, "you can do whatever you want, just leave me out of it. I am sick and tired of your shenanigans!" My mother said. "Mom! Are you really not going to help me out?""Lily, I just told you that your father is having issues with his company. You refuse to divorce Adam and even though you're his wife, you can't even convince him to invest in your father's company. I am going to call my brother and ask him for help. No matter what, Frank is still my brother!" My mother said painfully .I rolled my eyes when she said this. "Oh please, mom. Five years ago when you called him and
Adams POVMorning came faster than I had expected. I didn't need to look at my diary to understand that the day is going to be long and busy for me. However, what pulled my attention from the tonality I had set for myself, was the sudden buzz on my phone, when i had turned the data on.Check-in through the media's timeline, I am shocked to the bone by the headline of the news set before me."Adams Russell 's beloved wife caught in the act of infidelity?" My mouth was wide apart and my eyes couldn't believe the words I was reading. This must be some sort of joke.It wasn't a joke however, when the videos suddenly popped up in my dm. Apparently, some anonymous person had decided to send the videos over for me to look through.The moment I finished watching the video, my anger was uncontrollable. I didn't want to imagine Selina had done this, but it was there; there evidence was there in bare sight for the whole world to behold.Getting out of my bed, I had one place in mind to get to,
Selina POVOn arriving at the mansion, Adams 's Car was parked outside and although I knew I was innocent from the allegation, I felt a wave of anxiety hit me.Upon stepping into the premises, I was shocked to see my luggages outside, while Adams and the familiar face of Alice, holding hands together."Can we talk privately? I can explain." I managed to find the right words to say. Gray's stoic eyes made my heart beat faster. I watched him extend over to me a paper in his hands.I took the paper and the content, had me in total disbelief."I don't have all the time in the world Selina. Do what's necessary and give it back." I couldn't believe this. I felt a hole had been created in my heart from the decision that Adams was about to take."You wouldn't even allow me speak. All you had to do was hand me a divorce letter." I mentioned, at the brink of tears.There was no reply from Adams . He kept staring at me like was an object of his curiosity. It was obvious he didn't consider me i
Selina POVThere was silence after I broke the news to Sir. Russell . His face was neutral and I was anxious to know how he felt about it. "So what you are trying to tell me is that you are pregnant for Adams ?" He asked, trying to maintain a good composure, but I could see the shock in his tone."I wanted to break the news to him today and now this came outside." I said, referring to the news about the infidelity."I know that you are going through it at the moment, I want to suggest that you come to my mansion and I can make preparation for you and we also discuss how you are going to give birth to the child. I want you to know that you are going to give birth to that child." He assured.His plan was perfect and I could not help but be grateful to him for not giving up on me through the controversies. Once he hang up the phone, I grabbed my bags and leave Adams 's mansion. I know Mr. Russell wants me around to have his grand child, but I did not consider it a safe space for my chi
Selina POV"We will like to congratulate you on your latest project with our investors. We knew you were going to be a top asset with us." "It is nice working with you Mr. Joe " I responded with a handshake politely."There is one single problem though." He mentioned once we broke free from the handshake. "One of the investor is hosting a private party in California in his island and it is mandatory that you come for it." My smile disappeared the moment I heard Carlifornia. How do they want me to returned to the place that I most dreaded, a place that almost made me look like a whore, a state that threw several allegations against me and sabotage my marriage."Are there no other options? I mean excuses that will be considered by the executive of why I am not in attendance?" I pointed out."I am sorry, I know this must have ccaused you a serious inconvenience, but I need you to understand that this party is important, if we have you in attendance, it open us to bigger investment cli

ADAMI stared at Jolie, with a mixture of surprise and anger on my face. What was she doing here?!And she was married to Jenson? When did all of these things happen? I never really cared for Jolie and when Lucian threw her into the sea five years ago, I assumed that she had died. I didn't bother checking, because I didn't see the need for it. I couldn't even find Selena, so how could Jolie have survived? But she was standing in front of me,with a smile that told me that she was not planning anything good. "Don't worry, honey, Adam and I are old ......friends. It's nice to see you again, Adam. How have you been?" Jolie asked me as she flashed me a smile. "What are you doing here?" I snapped at her. Jenson frowned at me, and I remembered that the information I had gotten on him told me that he was fiercely protective of his wife. I sneered at Jolie, I had to admit, she really knew how to trap men. Only someone as old as Jenson who was on the verge of death, would believe her
LILYI rushed to grab Adam's arm as soon as he got down from the car. He pushed me away , a cold look on his face. "What are you doing, Adam? Don't forget that I am your wife? Are you willing to cause a scene here in front of everyone? I am sure that there are lots of reporters here today. They would be happy to give an update on what our marriage is like!" I threatened him. Five long years had passed, and I had done everything I could think of to win Adam's heart. I even used my son, but all of this meant nothing to Adam. He just did not care for me and my son and there was nothing I could do to change his mind. I had finally realised that Adam would not give me anything and that I had to settle for the title of his wife. It was the only thing I had and I was willing to hold on to it with everything that I had. I was not going to give it up no matter what. "You may be shameless and willing to fool yourself, Lily, but not everyone is as stupid as you are. Everyone knows that ou
SELENAMy heart beat fast against my chest as the doctor unwrapped my eyes. After five long years, I was finally able to get the surgery that would make me able to see again . There was a time that I had lost hope, I had my son with me, the son I had a few months after I reunited with my family, and Ryan had promised me that as soon as things settled down, he would bring my daughter over to me. Of course, my life was great and even though I could not see, I was willing to pay that price for being reunited with the family that loved me. But Ryan and my father had promised me that no matter what happened, they would make sure that I was able to see again. I decided to trust them, and just as I had expected , I was able to get the surgery. I had no idea how Ryan had done it, but the thought of me being able to see after five long years filled me with tears. "Okay....you can open your eyes now," the doctor told me. My heart beat fast against my chest. This was a really great moment
"How soon can we get Ariel here, dad?" I asked. I really wanted to fulfil Selena's wish of having her daughter with her and frankly, I hated Adam. I didn't want my niece staying with him anymore. He already had a wife and a baby on the way. He didn't need Ariel and Selena. Not at all! My father sighed, and I knew that the situation was not good. "Those fools are still on our necks. Ever since we intercepted the weapons they were smuggling, they've been trying to get rid of us. I can handle it, but I don't want Ariel in such a difficult situation. It's bad enough that Selena is here, we can keep her hidden for now. But if there's a child here.... people are going to find out sooner or later and they are going to target them ," my father explained. I nodded my head, knowing that he was right. I really wanted Ariel here, but I knew it would be safer for her to be with Adam for now. Anyway, it wouldn't be forever. "As for Selena.....her eyes....how soon can we get the surgery?" My
SELENA My mother held my hands and led me into the house. I could not see the house, but I had a feeling that it was very big. I had heard my brother refer to it as the mansion a few times. "This is it, Selena. We are home....you don't have to suffer anymore. We are going to take care of you and make sure that no harm comes to you," my mother said. I heard some sniffing, and I knew that my mother was crying again. I had found out that she teared up at any time. "What are you crying for again? Our daughter is already back home with us, there's no reason you should be crying," my father chided her. "Frank, I just....I just feel so bad for Selena. She's our little princess. She was supposed to have a pampered and sheltered life from the beginning. Why....why is her life so hard? Why did she have to suffer so much before we could find her?" My mother cried. "Vanessa.....we already found her. And that's enough. We are going to make the people who did this to her, pay for it!" My fat
