ADAM

I was leaving Selena's company when I ran into Jolie. She was leaving too and we got into the elevator together.

I sneered when I saw her, not bothering to hide my disdain for her.

Jolie had a smile on her face. She looked a lot more different now. The Jolie I was married to in the past would have started to cause a scene as soon as she saw me. What happened to her? Why did she change so much?!

"You aren't even going to acknowledge my presence? I know that you hate me...but I was once your wife," Jolie finally said something.

"And if there's a way for me to erase the tears I was married to you, I would gladly do it," I told her.

"I really am not here to cause trouble for Selena. I am here because I need a job!" She said to me.

"I don't believe you, Jolie. You, getting a job? You are not someone who would get a job out of your own will!" Jolie had always liked to leech off others. That was why she stuck with me so long.

I just could not believe that she had a change of heart

  • The Billionaire's Reclaimed love    Chapter 44

    SELENAI looked at Jolie's bruised neck and frowned. "How did you get that?" I asked her. Jolie smiled bitterly and looked down. "I am sure that you must have heard the rumours by now, Selena. Everyone's been spreading it. The last time Adam was here, he choked me in the elevator. He was really going to kill me. If someone had not seen him then...who knew what he would have done to me?" Jolie asked, her voice trembling with fear. I sighed, I had indeed heard the rumour of Jolie getting choked in the elevator by a man a few days ago, but I didn't want to believe it was Adam. Sure he was the only one who was here that day but Adam was not a violent man. And he definitely was not someone who would hit a woman. Even if Jolie had done anything to provoke him, he wouldn't choke her... right? "Are you sure that's what happened?. Maybe there's a misunderstanding and..." Jolie chuckled, interrupting me "You don't need to look for excuses, Selena. I know that you're not going to believe

    SELENA The last time they called me, my daughter was rushed to the hospital. It could not be that something had happened to her again right? My hand was shaking and my heart was beating fast against my chest . I was too scared to take the call. "Is there something wrong?" Adam asked me. I shook my head as I tried to calm myself down. It probably wasn't anything. Ariel has been doing really well lately. I picked up the call, "hello?" I said into the phone. "Hello, Miss Selena. We are calling because something happened to your daughter. She was taken away by someone..." I did not let the teacher who was speaking to me finish. I jumped up just then. "What....what do you mean by my daughter being taken by someone?" I yelled. Adam and Lucian got up too when I asked this. "What do you mean? What do you mean she was taken?" Adam asked me urgently. "Please calm down Miss Selena, we are trying to find her right now. She .." "I will be there in twenty minutes. You guys better have m

    SELENA"He's inside," Adam told me .He walked into the house together. The first thing I saw when we walked into the living room, was Ariel sitting on a couch with a sad look on her face. Her eyes were wet and she looked like she had been crying. A middle aged woman was crouched in front of her. "Ariel, I am your grandmother, don't you like me? Tell me what you want to play with, I will get it for you. But please stop crying okay?" The middle aged woman said. My mouth fell wide open when I realised who she was. It was Adam's mother. It was almost impossible to recognize her. She was just a shadow of her former self now. I remember I had met the woman during my wedding with Adam. She looked the part of a rich man's wife. She didn't like me and she turned her nose up at everything that I did at every chance she got. Right now...she looked like she had been sick for years! I looked at Adam, hoping for some kind of explanation from him, but he looked away and I knew then that he

    SELENAJanet screamed and I took a few steps back and hugged Ariel tightly to myself. I did not want my daughter to see her father being so hostile to someone else. "Adam! Have you lost your mind? That's your father! How can you treat your father like this?" Janet cried out. She went to her son and pulled him away from his father. Adam looked like he wanted to kill Philip. I could not help but shudder in fear as I watched this. I thought about what Jolie had told me. Was Adam really a violent person? Maybe he had been able to keep this side of him away from me and I never found out about it? Thinking about it scared me even further. I didn't want Adam to be in Ariel's life if he was a violent man. "He's not my father. He's your husband. You and your husband had better stay away from my daughter! Don't even think about taking her away. If you dare to say nonsense like this, I will make you pay for it!" Adam threatened his mother and father. The woman called Lily bowed her head.

    ADAMI stormed back into my father's house angrily. I had forgotten that Ariel was around and lost my temper at the man. And that made me even more angry. My mother was cleaning my father's burst lip and Lily was standing by the side when I walked in. "What the heck are you doing here? Get out of my house now! I'll just forget that I had a son like you! I don't want to have anything to do with you!" My father yelled at me. I sneered. "Do you think I want to be here either? I really want to forget that I have a father like you too! Are you going to keep your words? Are you going to leave me alone?" I asked my father. He scoffed and looked away from me, and I knew that he was not going to leave me alone so easily. My mother stood up just then. "Philip, Adam, that's enough from both of you. I am tired of this. You guys have been fighting for years, don't you get tired of it? You are father and son is there really anything that can't be solved between you two? I am tired of being c

    ADAM"If I didn't pay attention to you back then, what makes you think that I am going to do that now? Are you crazy?" I asked her coldly. I eyed the woman in front of me. I really didn't remember her. Whether she went to college with me or not, I was not sure of that. But it didn't matter. Lily looked like she was about to cry when I said this. "How...how can you be so cruel to me? You don't know how much I love you! I went abroad and worked hard because I wanted to be someone who was worthy of you! You have no idea how much effort I have put in. You have to consider that I..."I did not let Lily finish. I was getting tired of her throwing a pity party. "There are lots of women who are in love with me Lily. I am charming, and I am rich. Of course there are a lot of people who want to be with me. Are you saying I should reciprocate their feelings just because they are in love with me? What kind of confidence do you have to come say these things to me and think it'll make a differe

    ADAMSelena looked away from me when I said this, but I grabbed her chin and forced her to look back at me. I inched closer to her, wanting to kiss her. Selena did not move away this time and I rejoiced in my heart. She was finally starting to warm up to me again right?Just as I was about to kiss her, a sleepy eyed Ariel came down and interrupted us. "Mommy! You said you would wake me up when daddy got here. You lied to me!" Ariel accused Selena. I pulled away from Selena immediately, I didn't want to, but I could not let Ariel see us in a compromising position. I walked over to Ariel and picked her up. "I just got here baby. Your mother was going to come call you," I explained to her. "Daddy...I don't ever want to go back to that place," Ariel said as she pouted. I knew that she was talking about my parents house. I nodded my head. Since she did not want to go back I would never make her go back. Anyway those people who called themselves my parents were not fit to be grantpa

    SELENAI was busy at work the next day when someone knocked on my office door. I frowned when I heard the knock. What I hated most was being disturbed while I was working and I had given an order to my secretary stating that she should not allow anyone to come disturb me today. Who was this person?"Who is there? I thought I said no one was allowed to come see me today?" I asked angrily. The door was pushed open and Adam's grandfather, Peter, whom I had not seen in a few years, walked in with a big smile on his face. "You came back to the city a few months ago and you forgot to come see me. Since you have refused to come see me I have no other choice than to come see you myself right?" He asked me as he walked towards me. A smile lit up on my face when I saw him. This man had shown me a great deal of kindness and me and my daughter would not have even survived this year if it wasn't for me. He gave me money when I needed it the most and he also gave me the resources I ended to st

    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.

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
