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

    SELENAPeter waved his hand in a dismissive manner. "You don't need to speak up for my grandson. I already know the kind of person that he is. I really don't know why you fell for a person like Adam. After all the things he did to you, I thought you'd be smart enough to stay away from him now. But you're still going back to him. I don't even know what to say to you!" Peter said. I blushed even more when he said this. "I....I am not going back to Adam. He told me he wanted to get back together, but there are still a lot of things for me to consider our daughter...""You don't need to explain to me. I already know you're going to fall for his sweet words. It's Adam good luck that a good woman like yourself fell in love with him. I just hope that he knows how to treasure you this time. You should also not make things easy for him. He is going to think that he can treat you however he wants and you'll come back if you don't make things a bit difficult for him!"I was surprised to hear

    SELENAAfter a few more minutes of staring at Lucian with hostility, Peter finally broke the silence. "Selena, come see me out. I don't want to be in the presence of this person!" Peter said. I looked at Lucian apologetically, and he shook his head with a smile, indicating that he did not mind. Peter saw this and sneered. What really happened between Lucian and Peter that Peter hated him so much?I held Peter's arm and walked out of the office together. The driver who brought Peter was waiting for him by the car when he got downstairs. "I'll bring Ariel to see you over the weekend. She has school for now and she won't get time off before the weekend," I said. Peter waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. You can take your time. I am old now and I can't do much to help. I just hope that I won't burden you guys too much" Peter said. "You'll never be a bother, grandfather. We will always be here for you," I said. "Alright. You can get back to work now," I said. I turned to leave

    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
