SELENA"What do you mean she has leukemia?! My daughter has been fine up until this point! How can she just have leukaemia out of nowhere?! It doesn't make sense!" I already stood up and I was pacing around the office. My heart was beating fast against my chest and I had a hard time believing what I had been told. There was no way I could just accept that my daughter has leukemia just like that. It did not make sense to me in the slightest. Not at all !"Please ma'am. I need you to calm down. It's Fortunate that we were able to discover it in the early stages or else there won't have been enough time for us to find a matching bone marrow donor for her. It happens like this sometimes. The kid is fine up until the point that she's not. You need to calm down and you need to be strong for your daughter. What is she going to do if you break down now?" The doctor asked me. I managed to sit down, but I was still very worried and scared. Ariel was my whole life. She was the reason why I sur
JOLIEI knocked on Adam's door. Ever since I cheated on him, I had not been able to rest easy. I kept feeling as if he was going to find out that I had been cheating on him. I had never been able to rest easy since that day. I took a deep breath as I knocked again. The door was pulled open from inside and Adam stood by the door to keep me from going in. I scoffed when I saw him do this. Did he really think of me as that much of a threat? So much that he was not willing to let me come in at all? "I need to talk to you. I understand that you're experiencing a lot right now since Selena just came back but are you sure that you want to throw away the time that we spent together just for her ? Do you even think that she is going to appreciate it if you do something like that for her? You don't know the kind of person she is and she won't care about you! I know that I haven't been a good wife lately, but I promise to do better from now on. I think we can give our relationship a second c
SELENAI glared at Lucian after he ended the call. "Who told you that you could call him? This is a decision that I have to make on my own. I will tell him about Ariel when I decide that it is the right time. She is sick. Do you think that now is the right time for Adam to find out about it? Do you think that I can get involved in a custody battle with him right? " I asked Lucian. I was really angry. He had told me that I needed to tell Adam about Ariel and also tell him about her condition so that he could get tested and see if he was a match for her. I was still contemplating what I was going to do and if I really needed to tell Adam the truth when Lucian called Adam and asked him to come to the company. I was really upset. This was a decision that I should be making on my own. I did not need anyone else to make the decision for me. Lucian sighed. "Look, Selena, I know that you suffered so much to have your daughter and raise her. I didn't want to get involved before this. I wo
SELENA"What?" "I asked a question. Where can I get tested? We can't waste anytime and we all need to try and see if we are a match for her. Saving Ariel's life is what is most important right now!" Adam told me.I shook my head at this. "No, no you really don't have to do that for me and my daughter. We are going to figure something out. You don't have to go through surgery just to save her" I said firmly. "Look Selena, I know that you hate me right now. And I don't even blame you for it. I was a really terrible husband to you in the past and you have every right to hate me for the things that I did to you. But right now, Ariel's life is the most important thing. We need to make sure that she is saved. So can you please put on whatever hate you have for me on hold and let me see if I can save her? Adam asked me. I looked at his face intently. Adam was staring right back at me, waiting for me to make a decision. I cleared my throat and looked away. "I don't want you to do this j
JOLIEI walked into the hotel room discreetly, making sure that no one saw me as I walked in. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I could not control myself. I did not even want to control myself. I felt like I had been living in bondage my whole life .my husband did not love me, and yet I did not leave him. I stayed by his side and watched him treat me like trash. I was sick and tired of doing that. I wanted to live for myself too. I was still not going to give Adam the divorce that he wanted, but that did not mean I was going to sit back and let him walk all over me. He could be with Selena all he wanted but she would only be a mistress to him forever. As for me, I would be with whoever I wanted to! I walked into the bathroom and got off my clothes. A few seconds after I had bathed and changed,, the door was pushed open and someone walked in. It was the man I had come to meet. Lucas. He walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek. "I thought you said that you never wanted
SELENA"I asked a question. What are you guys talking about? Who is my daughter?!" Adam yelled at Lucian and I. I flinched at this and Lucian and I shared a look between each other. "Look Adam, you need to calm down. Selena was going to tell you the truth. She just did not know how or when she was supposed to bring it up. You also need to understand that this is a very tough time for our. She has been the one raising her daughter alone all these years and now that she is back she has to think about her having a father in her life is going to affect her" Lucian tried to speak up for me. "I know I wasn't talking to you Lucian. I am asking you a question Selena. Are you telling me that Ariel is my daughter? You knew about this and you didn't think to tell me immediately you got back? Hell you didn't even think about reaching out to me in the past 7 years and letting me know that I have a child? How could you keep something like that away from me?" Adam asked me coldly. I could tell t
ADAM"How can you say that you had no intentions of letting me see my daughter? I know that what I did was wrong and that I don't deserve forgiveness but I have told you that I am sorry countless times. Can't you just...""It doesn't make sense for us to talk about the past now. The truth is already out in the open. Instead, we should talk about what we are going to do about this," Selena interrupted me. She looked away from me as she said this. I knew that she was trying to act tough , but I could also tell that this was hurting her as much as it was hurting me. "I want her in my life, Selena. And it's not just Ariel. I also want you in my life. I know that I can be a really good husband as long as you give me a chance," I said to her. She shook her head. "Now is not the time for us to talk about us. I don't have the time to think about it when the life of my daughter is in danger. I just want to make sure that my daughter is safe before I do anything else," Selena told me. I co
ADAMJolie was seated in the living room,with a big smile on her face when I walked in.She smiled sarcastically when she saw me. I shook my head, she probably thought that she was so smart and that I didn't know what she was getting up to. "You came back tonight? I thought that you would not be coming back at all," Jolie sneered at me. "I only came back because I wanted to take a change of clothes," I said to her. I walked past her and walked towards my bedroom. Jolie got up and went after me. "Are you really going to be like this? You are not going to stop? It's not like you are the father of that child! Selena has a child with someone else and she's letting you play the role of a father! I had no idea that you were this silly to fall for her trick!" Jolie accused me. "Shut up!" I yelled at Jolie. Jolie took a few steps back in fear and but she was still looking at me defiantly. "Glaring at me is not going to change the fact that I am telling the truth. Do you really think
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
