ADAM

I buried my face in my palms as I sat by my mother's side waiting for her to wake up.

My entire mind was a mess, and I had no idea how I was going to save her life

My father and I had both been tested and neither one of us was a match for her. My grandfather had wanted to take the test too but he was far too old.

My father had asked me about getting Ariel tested but I had shut it down immediately. Ariel was way too young, I was not going to make her donate a kidney unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Adam..." I heard my mother call out my name weakly. She was awake.

I took her hands in mine.

"Mom...how are you feeling?" I asked her.

"Adam...it's only been a few days and yet you've become so thin. I feel so bad for doing this to you. I have never been a good mother to you. The only thing I have done since I gave birth to you was cause trouble for you. I am so sorry...I am such a useless mother," she said.

I shook my head, "please don't say mom. You are my mother. I don't

    SELENAI had just put Ariel to bed when I heard a knock on the door. I wondered who would come to my place so late at night. I went to open it anyway. I was shocked when I saw a tired Adam standing outside, looking at me. "Adam! What happened to you? It's only been a few days and you lost so much weight .what are you doing to yourself?" I asked him. I held his hand and led him into the house. He looked around and shook his head. "Are you okay?" I asked him as I made him sit. Adam nodded his head, but I could tell that he was far from okay. I sighed. "I really don't know what to say to you. Are you planning on killing yourself? Is that why you are doing this?" I asked him. "I.....""I know that your mother is sick. Your grandfather told me about it. Adam, I understand that you're worried, but you need to take care of yourself. You won't be able to save her if you fall sick yourself," I reminded him. "I ...I just don't know what to do .I thought I hated my mother as much as I

    ADAMI was taken aback when Lily told me this. I chuckled lightly, because I truly wanted to believe that she was just joking. "Please, Lily. Don't joke around like this. My mother is really sick and I don't have the time to play games with you. Please tell me what you want. I am going to do my best to satisfy you. Be serious," I said. Lily smirked and leaned back on her chair, "I already told you what I wanted. I want to become your wife. I just want to be with you. I understand the relationship you have with Selena. I don't care if you want to raise your daughter yourself or if you want Selena to raise her. I don't even care if you don't break up with her. As long as I am your wife in name, it's fine. I will make sure to do a good job as your wife. I think I am understanding enough" Lily declared. The smile on her face made me realize that she was not joking. She really meant everything she said. "Look, Lily, I can help your father's company. I can give you a lot of contracts an

    ADAM"Mr. Adam, we really don't have anymore time. Your mother's condition is getting worse and she is no longer accepting treatment. We need to get the kidney transplant done as soon as possible" I was in the doctor's office, and he was giving me updates about my mother's condition. "Actually, Mr. Adam, most people aren't actually able to get the transplant. Your mother is in a lot of pain. I think you should talk with your family and come to an understanding. You should not put your mother through so much pain. She's only surviving right now because of the life support. Perhaps it's time for us to pull the plug and put her out of the pain" the doctor explained to me. I shook my head. There was no way I would be doing that. "No, don't pull the plug on her. I am going to save her. She has to be saved!" I said urgently. The doctor shrugged. "I am just letting you know what could be done. If we leave her like this, then it's just going to cause her to be in pain up until the last

    ADAMThe next day, Lily and I walked out of the civil affairs office holding a pair of the marriage certificates. I had a dark look on my face, feeling as if I had just signed my life away. I was walking to my car, with Lily following slowly behind me, when a car pulled up in front of me. Lucian got out of the car and he punched me hard on the face. "What are you doing?" Lily shouted. She stood in front of me to protect me, but Lucian just pushed her away. "Are you crazy?" Lily yelled again. "You had better stay the heck out of this!" Lucian shouted at her. She wanted to argue, but she went silent when she saw the look on Lucian's face. I looked at Lucian coldly. "What are you doing here?" I asked him, calmly. "You are really shameless, you know that right. What are you doing?! How dare you do this to Selena?! You claim to love her, and this is how you are going to show your love for her? By getting married to another person?" Lucian asked me angrily. He was upset, but he

    JOLIEI was sure that there was a way I could get out .Because Lucian was not around, I could move around the house, although I wasn't allowed to step out. I knew the layout of the house well now.I snuck out of the bedroom, and I walked towards the main door. No one stopped me, and I thought there was no one else in the house. My heart beat fast against my chest as I thought about how I would be free soon. However, as soon as I opened the door and stepped out of the house, a loud noise went off. I looked around me, and I realized that I was in trouble. A few armed men came rushing out and there was nowhere I could run to! I should have known that Lucian would not make it so easy for me to escape. One of the men grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the house. Tears fell down my face as I was pulled back in. "Let me see Lucian. Tell him that I want to see him. He should face and tell me what it is that he wants to do with me. Why the heck is he playing these mind games, anywa

    LUCIANJolie looked up at me, shocked when I said this. "What....what?" She asked me .I sneered, "that bastard made it seem as if he could not live without Selena, but he got married to someone else. His mother has kidney failure and she's in the hospital, so I am sure that Adam struck some kind of deal with that woman. But then.....he left Selena to get married to some other woman. And he is planning on making Selena his mistress. How dare he do that to her?!" I yelled. Jolie looked shocked for a second, but then she burst out laughing. "Hahah...haha....I can't believe that Selena would have a day like this! She made Adam get a divorce from me as soon as she got back, and now someone else has stolen him from her! This serves her right! Karma is really great! I can die peacefully knowing that she is not going to be with Adam!" Jolie said happily. I shook my head as I watched her, she had really been driven mad with jealousy. "Do you think Selena would ever be on the same level

    SELENA"Are you thinking of leaving me, Selena?" Adam asked me. I was so angry that I laughed. Was this person, crazy?? How could he turn around and blame me when he was the one who left me to marry someone else?! "Adam , are you crazy?? What I do is none of your business. Please just leave me alone. You are a married man now. You never thought of me before you got married so what the heck is the meaning of this? " I snapped at him. I was really upset. Did Adam enjoy playing games with me?.Adam tried to take my hand but I pushed him away roughly. He did not give up though, as he approached me once again. "Please, Selena. Please just listen to me .let me explain, this is a really huge misunderstanding. I..." "Adam, are you not married? The news has already reported that Lily is your wife. And she's going out of her way to flaunt it. Are none of these things true?" I asked Adam. He looked away from me in embarrassment, and I shook my head..Besides anger, I was all feeling disgus

    SELENAMy face was pale as I watched Adam .I had a bad feeling about this. The way he looked at me, and the way he sounded, I had a feeling that he had already done something. "What have you done, Adam?" I asked him slowly. He smirked, a victorious smile on his face. "I already have Ariel with me as we speak. I picked her up from school. I can't lose you, Selena. But I also can't tie you up and force you to stay by my side. It's different for Ariel, she is my daughter!" Adam reminded me..This just made me even more worried. What was this crazy person planning on doing?."And what the heck is that supposed to mean, Adam? What did you do?" I asked, raising my choice this time. "Ariel is with me...as long as you come back home with me without making a scene, I won't force you to be separated from your daughter. We are going to be a family. As for Lily...you don't have to mind her .she will never show her face in front of you. In two years, I will divorce her,and we can be a happy f

    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. Lilly and Jolie turned to

    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
