JOLIE

I 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

    JOLIELucas raised an eyebrow when he saw me walk into the hotel room. I scoffed when he looked at me like that. "I thought you said that you are not going to come to meet me? Why did you come?" He taunted me. "Why are you waiting for me here? Isn't it because you knew that I was going to come? You don't need to pretend," I said coldly. He nodded his head. "You are right about that. I am here because I know that you are going to come. Then why did you need to beat around the bush when you knew that you would give in anyway?" Lucas sneered at me. I bit my lips. I knew he was insulting me. I knew that I should just turn and walk away for the sake of my pride. I also knew that what I was doing was dangerous and that I would be in a lot of trouble if Adam ever found out about it. But I still did not want to leave. Maybe it was the thrill that came with doing something dangerous, but I was craving it more and more. "You said one last time and I am here for that. I am really scared

    ADAMJolie laughed when I handed her he divorce papers. "I can see that you came prepared. You really planned for this right? I should have known this was a trap! You were the one who asked Lucas to approach me right? You really went through a lot of trouble just because you want to divorce me. Do you really hate me so much that you are willing to go to such lengths?" Jolie asked me. She was laughing and crying at the same time and this just made me feel even more disgusted with her. "You think that everyone else is like you. I did not ask that person to approach you. It was all your own doing. You were the one who made the choice to cheat. Since you gave me an opportunity, of course I am going to use it. Did you really think that I was just going to let you cheat on me like that?" I asked her. "You are a disgusting Adam! You are completely disgusting! I hate the day that I met you! You ruined my life! If you knew that you were not in love with me and you would just go back to Sele

    ADAMI slipped my hands into my pocket and approached my father with a cold look on his face. "What did you want me here for?" I asked coldly. I knew he would only ask me to come here when he wanted to ask me a favour. It wasn't like I was going to do it, I just wanted to hear it so I could reject him in person. My father cleared his throat, "Is this how you talk to your parents?! Only God knows how you are raising that daughter of yours when you can't even be respectful to us. No matter what happened before, it's all in the past. Don't you think that we deserve to move on?"My father was getting more and more disgusting. He was even twisting history to make it seem like he didn't do anything big. I held back my anger when I thought of how I had to get back to Ariel as soon as possible. I could not let my daughter down. "You don't need to worry about my daughter's upbringing. You can be rest assured that she will not grow up with a father who knocks his mother around!"A pale l

    LILYPhilp's face paled when I asked him this and I leaned back on my chair, comfortably. I knew I had him where I wanted him right now, he would have no other choice but to help me. "Do you know that I am not the only one who will go down if you do this? You are also going to get dragged down with me. Are you sure that you want to face the consequences of that?" He asked. I just shrugged when he asked me this, I didn't care. I was already on the verge of losing everything. "I don't think I can stand to lose anything else as it stands. Adam already hates me, and he is always thinking of ways to get out of this marriage. The most he would do is divorce me if he finds out that truth. But you.....you're his father. How are you going to survive if Adam decides that he wants to come after you?" I smirked at Philp, and I could see that he was shaking in anger. Although he had his own assets in his hands, Adam could easily take it all away from him if he wanted to. "I am going to talk

    LILY"It's the truth mom! It's Selena. She seemed so proud to see me! Do you know how much I wanted to die when I saw her face?" I asked my mother. She shook her head and she paced around the living room, "I still don't believe it. There's no way I'll believe something like this. You know what? I think she's lying to my brother. I need to call him and let him know that she's a damn liar. She probably found out about his missing daughter and passed herself off as her. I'll call my brother and let him know of her lies immediately!" My mom yelled.She picked up her phone and she was about to call her brother but I snatched the phone from her and threw it on the bed. "What do you think you're doing?" I asked her coldly. My mother looked at me, uncertainty in her eyes. "I am just trying to let your uncle know that Selena is not his daughter. She..." "Do you think they are fools? They have been looking for her for twenty years. Of course, they are not going to let anyone just pretend t

    SELENA"Mommy....who was that person and why was she crying?" My son, Liam, tugged on my hands as he asked me. "Don't worry about it, baby. It's all fine and I am going to take care of it. Why don't you go play with your toys upstairs?" I asked. I wanted to keep my son away from all of this nonsense as much as I could. I didn't want him to be affected by Lily and her antics. Liam pouted, but he listened to me and left. I turned to Ryan, who had a calm smile on his face and I sighed. "How could you be smiling at a time like this?" I asked him. "What do you want me to say? You already knew this was going to happen when you decided to come back, right? You knew they would look for you and they would find you. It's not really a big deal," he said to me. I shook my head, "Of course I know this, but it doesn't make it any easier. Did you know that Lily was going to be here today? You could have given me a heads up if you knew!""Of course, I didn't know!" He denied it vehemently.

    Selena was alive. She didn't die the way everyone thought she did. She was still alive....in flesh and blood. She had a kid with her...a kid that looked suspiciously like Adam. The weight of it all came crashing down on me and I almost fell to that ground. I didn't want to believe what was staring at me in the face, but I could not run away from it either. I remembered that Selena had been pregnant five years ago before she went missing. Could it be that she somehow survived and had the baby? How the heck did she do it? And why was she still alive?!."What are you doing in my cousin's house?" I yelled at Selena. Since she realized she could not sink her claws into Adam, she was now aiming for my brother?! How could she do this? What kind of disgusting person did she have to do to do something like this? Selena sneered at me, "And why can't I be here?" She asked me coldly. "Selena, I know that you've always hated me, but don't you think that you're going a bit too far by doin

    LILYI shuddered when Ryan's eyes landed on me. I felt as if he could see through me and like there was nothing I could say that could possibly be hidden from him. "I....well....I...""I know the kind of person you and your mother are. And I know you definitely won't be here if you didn't want something from me. I don't have the time to beat around the bush with you. Tell me what it is that you want so I can get on my way," he said coldly. "Ryan, how can you say that? It's fine if you don't like me but my mother is your aunt. Your elder. You have to give her a bit of respect, don't you think? She was worried when...." I was trying to feign anger, but then Ryan's cold eyes fell on me again and all of the words died in my throat.This man was really scary. He was just as scary as Adam. "Are you going to state what you're here for? Or do you want me to throw you out?"I sighed, realising that none of my tricks would work with Ryan. The only thing I could do now was come clean with t

    LILY I frowned when I saw the house that my cousin was living in. It was a large villa, and it was located in the most expensive part of the city.I knew my uncle's family had a lot of money, but if they were willing to throw this much away in a house when they wouldn't even be staying here for long......just how rich were these people?!I thought of my so called cousin that I would need to suck up to for now. If my life had gone as planned, if Adam really treated me as his wife then she would be the one who needed to suck up to me. Life just wasn't fair! I walked over to the and knocked a few times, an older woman whom I assumed was the nanny opened the door. "Where is Ryan? Tell him that Lily is here to see him," I demanded. The nanny looked at me like I was crazy and I almost lashed out at her. Who did she think she was to look at me like that? However, since I wanted to leave a good impression on my cousin, I held myself back. I told myself I would get back at her for da

    LILYMy mother handed Daniel to the nanny who had rushed downstairs with her. The nanny carried a crying Daniel away without saying snuggling. She had been working for us for a few years now and she knew she was not supposed to talk about anything that she was here. My mother slapped my back and I glared at her. "What are you hitting me for?!" I yelled. I was already pissed off enough as it was , I didn't want to be antagonized by my family as soon as I got back. "I should hit you some more! How could you treat Daniel like that?! He's your son! Do you think you would have been able to stay married to Adam for so long if it wasn't for him?" My mother asked me. I rolled my eyes, "oh please. Adam doesn't even want to acknowledge Daniel as his son. If I had known that things were going to turn out like this, then I would never have given birth to him in the first place!" I yelled. I carried the pregnancy for nine months and had the baby because I thought Adam's heart would soften.

    ADAM"How could you do this?! I am your wife and the mother of your son for crying out loud! How can you give a company worth billions to your daughter while you've given your son nothing his whole life?! Don't you know that Daniel is the one who will inherit everything that you have?" Lily yelled at me. I eyed her coldly, "I don't know what my father told you, but you and your son are not going to get anything from me. Maybe he can give him the assets in his hand! But he's not getting anything from me!"I did not consider that kid my son, I had only seen him a few times, after all. Lily had taken advantage of me when I was drunk. She was crazy if she thought I would take responsibility for the child she had by force.Lily looked like she was about to cry when I was done, but I did not care. She had it all coming. She was delusional if she thought that she could rope me into a marriage so easily. "Daniel is your son! Why do you act as if I am the one who got myself pregnant?""I t
