JANET

My heart beat fast against my chest as Philp approached me. I knew that I had pushed him too far and that I should probably keep my mouth shut now.

But I could not do that. Maybe it was seeing how confident Selena was, it gave me a lot more courage today.

"Where did you hear that from?" Philp asked me coldly.

"Adam was the one who told you?" He added.

"It doesn't matter who told me," I said and stood up.

"What matters is what you're trying to do now. What is the meaning of that? Do you even have a heart at all? How can you just make so many people homeless? You can build your resort anywhere else, but you had to choose that place ..the place where I grew up? How could you?" Tears gathered in my eyes as I said this.

I always knew this man did not like me, but did he really hate me this much? That he was willing to make so many people homeless just so he could hurt me some more.

Philp's face tightened, and I knew he was about to hit me. He always looked like that when he wa

    I came out to the balcony to get some fresh air after I had played with Ariel a bit. I only realised how much stamina she had. Even though she had been playing the whole day, she still had enough energy to play. I was shocked when I got there and I saw my mother on the balcony. It was quite late and so I was sure that she would have gone to bed by now. "Mom..." I called out to her. What are you doing here?" I asked. "I ...I just came out to get some fresh air. Your father is working again and I did not want to disturb him," she said. She did not turn to look at me. I frowned when I realized this. I sensed that something was wrong. There was only one thing that could have gone wrong when she had her back turned to me like this. "Mom...let me see your face," I said, going straight to the point. My mother chuckled, and I did not miss the pain and hurt in her voice. "What do I need to turn for? Don't tell me that you've forgotten what I look like? I really like the feeling of fre

    I knew that my mother was sad, but I was not going to let her pull me into a toxic situation that I managed to crawl out from. "I....Adam I know you hate me and I don't blame you one bit. I know that I am a shitty daughter. But are you really going to keep Ariel from me for the rest of your life? I just....I just want to be a grandmother. I promise to do better this time. I didn't have experience the first time. I will really do better now" my mother pleaded with me. I looked at her and shook my head. "Do you really think that I will let you have access to my child?" I asked her coldly. My mother opened her mouth, unable to say anything to me. "Let me tell you something mom. The day you and dad took Ariel from her school, she went back home and she asked me if it was normal for her father to be violent. She told me that her classmates father constantly hit her and her mother. She wanted to know if I was going to do the same to her and her mother. Do you know how hard it was for m

    SELENAI did not bother to knock on the door. I just pushed it open and walked in. The lights were turned off, but I could still make out that figure of Adam that was seated on the floor. There were a few empty bottles on the floor and had a half empty in his hand. Adam drank directly from the bottle. I sighed, walked over to him, and took the bottle from his hand. ."What do you think you're doing right now?" I said. I sat next to him in the darkness, and Adam stretched out his hand to me, wanting to take the bottle. Of course, I was not going to let him have it."Why should I give it to you? Am I crazy?" I asked and rolled my eyes. "Selena, please. I am not in the mood today. Can you please just go away?" He asked me. "If I leave ..and then what? You are just going to drink your life away? What will you tell Ariel when she wakes up in the morning and finds out that her father is a sorry mess? Adam, I know that you're sad but you'll need to find healthier ways to deal with the

    "I will always be here for you " I said and kissed him on the lips. Adam's eyes went wide when I did this. He had not been expecting this. I pulled away from him and smiled, but just then, Adam grabbed my waist and pulled me back to himself. He kissed me. It wasn't just a peck. This time, he properly kissed me. I responded to the kiss, and we pulled and tugged at each other's lips. The kiss made me realize that I wanted more, so I did not hesitate when Adam led me to the bed. I helped him when he took off my clothes, and when he entered me in one swift stroke, I felt fulfilled. ......LILY "What was all of that about ,Philp?" I asked. I could tell that something was wrong when I saw Janet leave. In fact, I could already guess what had happened to her. There wasn't a single person in our circle who did not know that Philp hit Janet. This was the reason I did not take her seriously. I knew she could not help me when it came to Adam and so I did not waste my time on her. She

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    ADAM"Jolie doesn't mind because she's a nice woman but that doesn't mean that I don't mind. I need you to get your wife to apologize to my wife and then we can talk about working together!" Hours after Jenson left my office, I was still in a horrible mood, thinking of how I was going to solve the problem that so-called wife of mine had caused me. I was so angry. And knowing Lily, I knew it would be difficult to get her to apologize to anyone. Especially Jolie. Speaking of the devil, my office door was pushed open and Lily marched in. She didn't even bother to knock. I looked at her coldly, but I didn't bother to argue with her about this because I knew that she was not going to listen. I had told her many times to knock before entering my office but she always refuses to listen to me. She would not start listening now. "What are you doing here?" I asked, eyeing her coldly. Lily had a cold look on her face as she dropped her bag on my desk angrily. It didn't seem like she was

    SELENA A driver was waiting to pick Liam, Ryan and I from the airport when we arrived. We got into the car together and the driver drove us to a large villa. I turned to look at Ryan, shock on my face. I wanted to know how he managed to get us this place in just a few days. It was extremely beautiful and it was well protected. The villa was in a neighbourhood that no one else besides the people who lived in it would be able to enter. "Ryan....how were you able to arrange this in just a few days?" I asked Ryan. He smiled at me, "Didn't mom tell you before this? We used to live in this city. But when you went missing,mom could not bear the memories of you that were here and we had to move away. Anyway, we still have some connections in this place and it's not hard to find a house" Ryan explained to me.I nodded my head in understanding, "Oh, I see. I thought that you might have asked for help from Lily. She's still our cousin isn't she?" I said bitterly. Finding out that the woma

    ADAM"Daddy? Are you there?" I was still on the phone when I heard Ariel's voice. I sighed and lowered my voice before I spoke again. "Do everything that you can to find Selena. I don't believe that she's dead. If a bitch like Jolie can survive then I am sure that Selena can survive. Do all that you can to bring her back!" I said before I ended the call. By the time I rearranged my emotions, Ariel had already walked in. Ariel looked at me wearily. She was 12 now, but my little girl was wise beyond her years. She was no longer that little girl that always ran after her mommy....she was growing into a beautiful and confident teenager. Many times, I caught myself thinking of how Selena would feel when she found out that her daughter had grown so much. If it wasn't for Ariel, I didn't think I would have been able to survive for so long. "Dad, what are you doing here? It's so late and you are still working. Didn't you promise me? You said that you are going to rest earlier. It's no

    Just who is this woman and what does she have to do with you anyway?" My mother asked me. "I said she's Adam's ex wife....she is doing all of this because she wants Adam back. She made me make a fool of myself today and Adam is mad at me because of her. She has an old husband and now she thinks she can do whatever she wants. Hmph! I am going to show her she's not a match for me!" I swore. My mother rolled her eyes, "you can do whatever you want, just leave me out of it. I am sick and tired of your shenanigans!" My mother said. "Mom! Are you really not going to help me out?""Lily, I just told you that your father is having issues with his company. You refuse to divorce Adam and even though you're his wife, you can't even convince him to invest in your father's company. I am going to call my brother and ask him for help. No matter what, Frank is still my brother!" My mother said painfully .I rolled my eyes when she said this. "Oh please, mom. Five years ago when you called him and

    LILY"Lily, what's with the look on your face? I thought you said that you would attend an event as Adam's wife? I really don't know why it is so difficult for you to win the heart of a man. Already arranged everything for you 5 years ago. You even have a son that she can use to hold on to Adam and yet you are still not able to do anything. You are still just his wife in name. How long are you going to continue living like this?"My mother did not hold back when she scolded me. Over the years she has helped me a lot and created a lot of opportunities for me to get closer to Adam. However no matter what we did he was just unwilling to look at me. I was a terrible person to him. "Mom do you think that I am not trying? I have done all that I can. I even have a son for him and Philp has accepted my son as the future heir but you know that all of that doesn't mean anything. Adam is the one who is in charge now and if it doesn't accept my son there is nothing else that we can do" I said.

    JOLIE"Lily....how could you hit me? I just wanted to give you advice....I heard about the relationship you have with your husband....you can just tell me if you don't need it. You don't need to hit me and call me a gold digger, " I said. I knew there was someone behind me, and I said those things so the person could hear. I wanted to get Lily in trouble, to make people think of her as an unreasonable woman. If people thought badly of his wife, it would only be a matter of time before Adam's reputation was affected! "What are you talking about? Do you think that you're on the same level as me? You're just a gold digging slut who married an old man for money. You had better watch the way you speak to me!" Lily scolded me.She still had not realized what was going on."Miss Lily....no matter what, she is still the host of the event today, you can't speak to Jolie like this when she was just trying to help you as a good nurse," someone spoke up just then.

    SELENA It had been a few days since I got back from the hospital and regained my eyesight, but I was already sick and tired of staying at home. I wanted to go had to work, I wanted to do anything, but my parents and brother would not hear of it. They were convinced that I was still sick and that I needed to rest. It wasn't as if I needed to earn a living, anyway. I was sick and tired of staying in my bedroom, and so I decided to go talk to my father..I would convince him to give me a job in his company, or I could even get him to get my company back for me. I remembered that Adam had taken over my company back then when he forced me to live in his house as his mistress..I had no idea what had happened to the company, but I didn't want it to remain in the hands of Adam. I was about to enter my father's study, when I heard a loud crash. I took a peek in and I saw that he had thrown a vase at the wall angrily. My father was not some who lost his temper easily so I knew that wh

    ADAMI stared at Jolie, with a mixture of surprise and anger on my face. What was she doing here?!And she was married to Jenson? When did all of these things happen? I never really cared for Jolie and when Lucian threw her into the sea five years ago, I assumed that she had died. I didn't bother checking, because I didn't see the need for it. I couldn't even find Selena, so how could Jolie have survived? But she was standing in front of me,with a smile that told me that she was not planning anything good. "Don't worry, honey, Adam and I are old ......friends. It's nice to see you again, Adam. How have you been?" Jolie asked me as she flashed me a smile. "What are you doing here?" I snapped at her. Jenson frowned at me, and I remembered that the information I had gotten on him told me that he was fiercely protective of his wife. I sneered at Jolie, I had to admit, she really knew how to trap men. Only someone as old as Jenson who was on the verge of death, would believe her

    LILYI rushed to grab Adam's arm as soon as he got down from the car. He pushed me away , a cold look on his face. "What are you doing, Adam? Don't forget that I am your wife? Are you willing to cause a scene here in front of everyone? I am sure that there are lots of reporters here today. They would be happy to give an update on what our marriage is like!" I threatened him. Five long years had passed, and I had done everything I could think of to win Adam's heart. I even used my son, but all of this meant nothing to Adam. He just did not care for me and my son and there was nothing I could do to change his mind. I had finally realised that Adam would not give me anything and that I had to settle for the title of his wife. It was the only thing I had and I was willing to hold on to it with everything that I had. I was not going to give it up no matter what. "You may be shameless and willing to fool yourself, Lily, but not everyone is as stupid as you are. Everyone knows that ou
