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.

    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

    ADAM I looked at Adam's assistant. It was a man in his late twenties called Rex. Rex had been working for Adam for a long time and he knew everything about him. "Rex please....can you please let me talk to Adam? I am going to sign the divorce papers. I won't make trouble for him. I will sign it and leave. I just want to talk to him first. Do you think that you can please do that for me? If you can...I will leave. You will never hear from me again. Please..." I begged Rex. After Adam showed me the pictures of me cheating on him that day, I knew that there was nothing else I could do. I had lost and I had to get a divorce..But I still wanted to see him one more time before I was forced to leaveIt had been a few days since then, and Adam had sent his assistant to come meet me with the divorce papers again. It still had the same terms as before. I would only be getting a million and it would be a quiet divorce. I was not willing to resign to my fate just like that. I wanted to talk

    JOLIE "Lucian, I don't have the time to joke around with you. I just want to pick up the pieces of my life break. Tell Adam that he has won. He got the divorce that he had always wanted. He doesn't need to make things even more difficult for me. Why are you here to mess with me again?" I did not think for even a second that Lucian was going to help me out. Even if he was going to help me, he should have done it before I got the divorce from Adam. There was no need for him to wait this long. I was sure that Adam and Lucian had planned to mess with me. Adam probably wanted to torture me some more because he blamed me for being the reason why he was separated from Selena for so long.Lucian leaned back on the chair that he was sitting on. He smiled at me. "Why do you think I am here because of Adam?" He asked her. "Please Lucian. Isn't it obvious? He is your best friend. You know all that happened between us. Tell Adam that he can just leave me alone. I won't show up in front of him

    ADAMSelena and I were in the doctor's office. We sat still as we waited for him to tell the condition of April. The surgery had been completed two days ago and we were eager to know if there were any complications. The doctor finally looked up at us after what felt like hours. "Doctor...how is my daughter? Are there any complications? Is she completely cured now?" Selena asked the doctor urgently. I did not say anything, but I was just as worried as she was. "You don't need to worry madam. Your daughter's surgery was a success. Of course, she is going to be weak for a while and you need to bring her back to the hospital for regular check ups so we make sure that something like this does not happen again but in most cases, they don't come back. Your daughter is pretty young and we were able to find it on time. So she is going to recover fine and she can live her life like any normal kid!" The doctor said. Selena started to sob when she heard this. I knew that she was sobbing

    SELENA"Ma'am, we went ahead and held the interview like you told us. And we have already picked out the people that we are going to hire. You just need to go see them. They all have good portfolios and they will be a good addition to our design department," my assistant, a woman called Abigail told me. I was in my office. I rubbed my temples. I was feeling quite drained. I had not had a good rest ever since Ariel got sick, and now that she was better, I had to rush to the company to take care of work. I could not complain though, even when I had suffered through even tougher days. Back then, I was pregnant with Ariel and entertaining clients. There could be nothing harder than that really. "Fine , you can ask all of them to come in. I'll see them," I said. "You can give them another interview if you want to be sure that we have hired the right people, ma'am," Abigail told me. I shook my head. "No, I don't need to do that. I trust you Abigail and I trust that you know how to do a

    SELENAI looked up at Adam, "where is Lucian?" I remembered that he was the one who saved me. Adam patted my hand, "Don't worry about it. He is fine. You just have to make sure that you are fine. That person did not do anything to you right? Did you see his face?"I shook my head at this. I had a feeling that Adam was trying to change the topic. What happened?!"I did not get to see his face. He was wearing a mask and I could not see what he looked like..." I let my voice trail off when I said this. "Don't worry, I am going to find the person who did this to you. Don't you worry," Adam assured me. I nodded my head. "But...I remember that he said something about the person who had asked him to kidnap me. He said that it's not someone that I can afford to provoke. Anyway, I could tell from his tone that it was a man. There aren't a lot of men who hate me" I looked at Adam when I said this. I did not want him to think that I was accusing his father, but there was no other person I c

    SELENAI was really scared, I had no idea what the man was going to do to me. He was standing outside, and I had thought about escaping, but I knew that I could not get away from him fast enough. I would just be putting myself in more danger if I decided to run away. I just decided to pray that whoever decided to kidnap me was not doing it because he wanted me dead . I just hoped that Adam would realise that I was missing and he would come running to help me. We had argued before I was kidnapped. What if he thought that I was angry and that was why I didn't want to see him?And my daughter, Ariel, I was really worried about her. I wondered what she was doing now and if she was fine. The door was pushed open just and the masked man walked in again. He walked over to me and untied me. Then, he pulled me up and started to drag me away. "Hey, where are you taking me?" I asked him. He scoffed at me. "You don't get to ask me any questions. Just come with me and do as I tell you if y

    I had no idea how long I had been awake for. I thought the person who kidnapped me would come see me soon, but I had been waiting for quite some time and yet no one had come into the small room. "Hey, is there anyone out there?! Can you please let me go? I am someone with a lot of money. I can change your life. Please....please just let me go and I will pay you right?" I begged. The door was pushed open and a man walked in angrily. He was wearing a mask and so I could not see what he looked like. "Shut the heck up or else you are going to get it from me. What the heck are you making a mess for?" He yelled at me. Even though I was really scared, I tried my best to act like it was all fine. "Who sent you to me?! You have to let me go now or else you are just going to regret it!"" I yelled. The person walked over to me and he raised his hand at me, as if he was going to hit me. My heart was beating fast against my chest but the slap that I was expecting, did not come. "You had be

    LUCIAN"Do you really think that Selena would be touched if you do these things for her?" Jolie asked me. I glared at her with a menacing look on my face. "What did you say?" Jolie scoffed and looked at me straight in the eye. "Do you really think that she cares for you? You are doing so many things to break her and Adam up but even if they break up, what are the chances that she will get together with you? Think about this carefully. You are just like me, Lucian. Selena and Adam don't care about both of us. You are just wasting your time with her!" Jolie snapped at her. "Shut up! Shut up right now!" I yelled. What I hated the most was being reminded of the fact that despite being in Selena's life for a long time, she had never really looked at me. She was always running after Adam no matter what he did to her. That really drove me mad. She scoffed when I said this. "Oh please. You know that you're just wasting your time with her and that is why you're mad at me! I am not the

    LUCIAN "What do you mean she's not been here all day? She is your CEO for crying out loud. Are you telling me that not a single one of you thought about calling her and finding out where she is?" I yelled at Selena's assistant. I had come to her office to see her because I wanted to talk to her but I was told that she had not come in to work today, and I was really worried when I heard that. I knew she was a woman who cared about her work a lot. There was no way that she would stay away without a word. The assistant looked away from me guiltily. "I.....I called her and she didn't pick up. I assumed that she didn't want to come in today because she's been working really hard...." "You know that she would never stay away from work on purpose...you...." I wanted to go scolding the assistant, but I stopped myself. It wasn't as if it would help me find Selena. Finding out where she was and making sure that she was fine was the first thing in my mind. I brought out my phone and calle

    SELENA"My father is a man who only understands the language of violence. I have tried to talk to him several times over the years, but he just refuses to listen to me. I want to speak to him in the language he understands!" Adam told me. I shook my head. He really was not willing to be reasonable. "Do you think that just because he is my father I am going to let him get away with doing whatever he wants? I have already washed my hands off him and my mother. I know that she is never going to leave him. But I am not going to let him act the way he wants under my roof. Ariel was in that house yesterday. What do you think would have happened if she had seen him slap my mother yesterday? I just want to be a good father? " Adam asked me. I shook my head. I felt like Adam did not understand any of the words that I had been saying to him from the beginning. He was just doing whatever he wanted and using Ariel as an excuse. "It seems you didn't listen to any of the things I have been sayi

    I was sitting on the ground as I watched Adam pull Selena away. I was boiling in anger just watching them go. All of this was that woman's fault. She was the one who caused this. Adam wasn't that kind of person before! Ever since she came into his life ...I was upset just thinking about it! I wanted to get rid of her! "Someone....someone help..." I heard Philip call from inside the office. I rushed inside to help him and I gasped when I saw how beaten up he was! Adam was crazy! He was fucking crazy! "Call.....call the ambulance!" He said. .I nodded my head and started to make the call. ....Janet rushed to the hospital as soon as I called her and told her the situation. She was there in less than ten minutes. "What....what happened to him?" She asked me as she rushed to me. I eyed the older woman in front of me. I felt like she was also to blame for this. She and Selena were the cause of this situation. Adam hit his father because ha wanted to stand up for her. She was s

    "You want me to leave? I am sorry, but I didn't do that. I am not going to leave. You are quick at using your fists on defenseless women and children right? Well, since you like violence so much, I figured you would like it when you're the one on the receiving end. What do you think?" I asked. My father started to move away from me. "Adam, I don't know what your mother told you, but I know that you can't just listen to one side of the story. She..." I did not want to hear whatever excuse he had. I punched my father hard. He fell to the ground in no time. Time had really taken a toll on him and he was not as strong as he was in the past. It was better for me ..he had picked on me when I was a weak defenseless kid and I would do the same to him. "Adam! I am your father! How dare you treat me like this?" He yelled at me. I kicked my father, without a single care for our father son relationship. "It's exactly because I am your son. Where do you think I learned from this?! It's fro

    SELENA Ariel and I went back home together the next day. Because she was not willing to part with her father just yet, Adam drove with us back home. They even played some more before he had to leave. I felt awkward around Adam and I did not know how I was supposed to act. We had sex the previous night ..did that mean we were together? We did not get a chance to talk about it because Ariel had come knocking and we had to make ourselves presentable. I was tired of running away from Adam. I knew I loved him, I would never love another man the way I loved him In fact, I would never fall for anyone else. If I didn't get together with Adam, I would stay single for the rest of my life. I knew that he was really putting in effort to change and to be a better man for our daughter. I didn't want to keep running away from him when he was doing so much. I walked out with him when he was done playing with Ariel. I thought Adam was going to talk about what happened between us last night
