SELENA

"It's fine if you don't want to work with me Adam. I am not going to force you. I really don't want to have to put up with your righteous attitude anyway. But know that if you walk out of this place right now you are going to have to pay me for breaching the contract that we signed. I am sure that you have a billion dollars to give to me for breaking the contract it is not a big deal for you after all"

Philip was very proud when he said this. It was as if he had been waiting for this

Adam turned to Lucian,"what is the meaning of this?" He asked Lucian coldly.

Lucian looked ashamed.

"I am sorry Adam but it is in the contract that you signed. This is a very big project and we are all going to get a few billions in profits if things work out as planned. Having a billion dollar as a penalty for breaking the contract is just to protect the interests of everyone else involved. It's also the same for your father. If he wishes to break the contract for whatever reason, then he wou

    ADAMI glared at my father. "How could you even think about demolishing that place? Have you forgotten that is the place mom grew up in? It's her home...and home and you know how much it means to her. She's always going back to that place. How could you be so cruel to a woman who's given her life for you?" I already knew before this that my father was a terrible man. I thought that there was no way he could get even worse but he always shocked me. The fact that he did not think that there was anything wrong with what he was doing blew my mind. "Your mother will understand that this is for business. Besides, it's not as if she has a choice here. It's my money and I can choose to invest in whatever way I want! Stop acting like you're a saint, Adam. You're a businessman. Did you really make so much money righteously? Don't tell me that you didn't have to step on a few toes to get to where you are today!" My father accused me. I smiled sarcastically and nodded my head. "Yes, I'm not

    SELENA"It seems you've forgotten what I told you, Lily. If you're so bored and if you dare think about bothering Selena again, then I will make sure that you and your parents are never busy. You are only here because your father owns some company if that company goes bankrupt, do you think my father will still pay attention to you? He won't, so don't be an idiot!" Adam yelled at Lily. I was shocked to see him scolding Lily on my behalf. I thought he was going to ask what happened and that he would be mad at me when he found out the truth. That was not the case though, as Adam truly did not care for Lily. He was focused on me and me alone. I knew then that even if I was the one in the wrong, he would still have my back. There was no sweeter feeling than this. "You won't dare to do that, Adam!" Philp roared. "You can go ahead and try me, see if I dare to do it or not!" Adam said. He grabbed my hand and started to pull me away with him. He didn't stop until we were in the car. "

    ADAM"Listen to me Adam we can't just break up the contract just because you are not happy with your father. What he is doing might not be morally right but it is the right decision for a businessman. And your father is a complete businessman. He does not mix business with pleasure at all. I am sure that the people who live in that place are going to get some kind of compensation. It is not a big deal and it is not worth you ending the contract and losing billions over" Lucian had come to my office, and he was doing his best to convince me not to back out of the contract. "Do you really think that my father is going to compensate all of those people well? He is probably going to give them a check for a few thousand dollars and then you will leave them to fend for themselves. My father is a really cold man who cares about no one else but himself. He won't do anything to help out people who are suffering. And besides that, that place is where my mother grew up. It means a lot to her. H

    SELENAI sat by the side as I watched Ariel play with Peter. Both of them seemed very happy and it warned my heart. Since I promised Peter that I would bring Ariel to come see him during the weekend I made good on that promise. Besides he called me everyday to make sure that I did not forget about my promise. I could not escape it even if I wanted to. "They look so happy playing together. Why didn't my grandfather tell me that he knew about Ariel all this time? He already built a relationship with her and I am still getting to know my daughter. It seems so unfair to me"I turned to look at Adam when he said this. I could not understand why he was here. The Adam that I knew was always busy at work. Even on a Saturday like this, he would not be at home because he would have to work. That was why I agreed to come here immediately. Because I believed Adam was not going to be at home."What are you doing here anyway Adam?" I asked him. He flashed me a smile. "What do you mean by that?

    SELENA"You can go entertain your guests in your own house. No one cares about it. But what is she doing here? None of you are welcome in my home. Please just leave already ," Adam said coldly. "Adam, watch the way you speak to us. We are your parents. Do you think that you've grown so big that we can't tell you what to do?! There are so many ways for me to ruin you, Adam. Don't push me!"I was shocked to hear a father threaten his son like this. With a father like Philp, no one would be able to tolerate it! Adam sneered at him, and he took a few steps towards Philp. He was standing right in front of Philip and it seemed like he would lash out and hit him at any second. My heart beat fast against my chest as I watched this exchange. I didn't want Adam to lose his mind because of his father. It wasn't worth it. "Really? I'd like to see what it is that you can do to me!" Adam said. "Adam!" I called out to him. Adam turned to look at me, and at Ariel who was trembling in my arms.

    SELENA"I just want to know where you get all of your confidence from. Why do you think you can say all of these things to me?" I asked Lily. I wasn't really bothered by her. At most, I saw her as a woman who did not know what she was doing. She was just delusional. Lily raised her chin at me, probably trying to intimidate me, but it just made me want to laugh. "Adam's father is on my side. They may be fighting right now but he is going to have to listen to his father at the end of the day. And then Adam is going to get married to me. It's fine if you don't want to give your daughter to me. I can always give Adam more children. I don't even want to raise your brat anyway" Lily told me. I was so angry that I just laughed. What could I say to someone who had so much blind confidence? It was so obvious that she would not stop until she hit a wall. "Is that something that the daughter of a prestigious family should be saying to another woman?"We both turned to see Janet staring at L

    ADAM"What do you want?" I asked my father coldly. Everyone else had left and he and I were the only ones in the living room. "Adam, what do you really want from me? You are angry at me, I get it. But it's been almost ten years. Are you going to continue acting like this? You need to stop throwing a tantrum and come home. If you're acting like this, who is going to inherit my company? I need you back!" My father said I sneered when I heard this. I could tell he was getting desperate now. My father talking like this was his equivalent of begging. "And why do you think I care about that? I don't care about your company. You can go feed it to the dogs for all I care. When I walked away from your house ten years ago, I told you I would never be coming back. I didn't take a single cent from you. Did you think I was just joking?" I asked my father coldly. I would never forget what he did to me on the day I turned eighteen just because I tried to stand up for my mother. He was hitting

    SELENAJanet's face was pale. "What...what did you say?" She asked me. I sneered. "Adam and I are currently working together with Philp on a project. He added a clause that states we have to give him a billion dollars if we want to back out of the contract. Can you even imagine someone doing this to their son? This is the person you're married to!" I reminded her. Janet looked embarrassed. "He wants to build a resort and the place he chose is the neighbourhood you grew up in. He knows how much that place means to you but he is going to demolish it and build a fucking resort! Adam tried to get him to stop but do you really think your husband would listen? This is the kind of person you want to defend...this is the kind of person you're willing to give up your son for! When will you grow some backbone?" I yelled at Janet. I really hated women like her. I didn't think I was perfect. I admit I wasn't a strong person either. But immediately I found out I would be having a kid, I kne

    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
