Married To Mr. Narcissist
Selene was just eighteen when her life was rewritten.
Pregnant, abandoned, and forced into a marriage of convenience, she carried another man’s child down the aisle—without the man she married ever knowing the truth.
Years later, her marriage to Tom Harold is a cage of cold words and hollow promises. Doctors insist she’s infertile, his obsession with an heir grows, and the woman who once left him now wants her place back.
Then Rowland returns.
The only man Selene has ever loved. The father of her child. The one whose touch still ignites a fire she thought she’d buried.
Now, every glance, every touch, every word between them becomes a battle of desire and restraint. Tom’s power and possessiveness clash with Rowland’s passion and memory of love, and Selene is trapped in a dangerous game where her heart and her daughter’s future hang in the balance.
She must choose: protect the secret that shields her child—or risk everything for a love that never truly let her go.
In a marriage built on lies, the most dangerous thing isn’t betrayal.
It’s the truth.

Chapter: Twisted.Selene’s POVIt was evening; we had all eaten. Mum had practically dragged me away from Amira’s bedside stand.I had barely eaten a thing.We sat in the waiting area. All of us except Rowland and Tom. Rowland didn’t come back, and I had no idea where Tom went.Mum kept squeezing my hand, but I could feel her own tension under her calm exterior. I tried to focus on her nods, on her reassuring smile, but my thoughts kept spiraling back to Amira, to the test, to what this could all mean.Dad cleared his throat, leaning forward on his seat.“Selene,”My head snapped up.“I have been thinking," he clasped his hands together. “I haven’t been fair to you over the years. And I want to make things right.”My stomach flipped. Was he really saying this?”“We are here to support you in any way in your divorce process."I glanced at Mother. A smile spread across her face. She nodded in agreement.Relief flooded through me, and suddenly my eyes burned.He wasn’t fighting me.He wasn’t asking me to

Chapter: Dad.Selene’s POV.“Selene!” Mum walked hurriedly to me once she spotted me. She wrapped her arms around me, and I leaned into her hug, taking in the scent of her perfume. I missed her. Dad stood beside her. I broke away from Mom's embrace and gazed at him. He looked the same, but his eyes looked different. Softer. I hadn't hugged Dad in years, but this time I leaned in and pulled him closer to me. He stiffened at first, then his left arm rose to my back, patting lightly. “How are you?” he whispered. “I am happy you came," I replied. He said nothing. I pulled away at the sound of footsteps behind me. “Mr. Richard Thomson,” Tom said, “how delightful for you to grace us with your presence. Thank you for being here with us at s…” “I heard the divorce arrangements are currently going on." Dad interrupted, "The sooner the better." My eyes widened, Tom’s lips hung M.I.A., but Mum folded her arms over her chest, lifting her chin slightly. A sly smile on her lips. “Sorry?” “Yes, my

Chapter: Tension in the room."Mr. Harold!” The school nurse looked relieved. "You are here." Thank goodness."I glanced at her. Of course she has called him too. She was his daughter after all.I didn’t like the look Tom and Rowland exchanged, but there wasn’t time to lounge on that now.The doctor stared at us through his glasses. "You are?”“Her father”The doctor tapped the clipboard with a pen. "Excellent." We would begin testing immediately."Rowland’s muscles flexed underneath his shirt. My heart thumped in my chest.“The nurse would be with you shortly," the doctor said before walking away.The school nurse placed her hand on my arm gently. “I will be going now, ma'am." Please call if anything comes up."I gave her hand a squeeze. “Thank you so much. Really”She nodded and walked towards the door.Tom stepped forward.“Why is he here, Selene?"Rowland’s jaw tightened.“Could we not do this now, please?” I pleaded.Tom exhaled, tension visible in his shoulders.“I’ll wait outside,” Rowland said; he glanced

Chapter: Tests.My heart sank, and I shot Nora a panicked look. Her brows furrowed as she got up from her seat. I swallowed. “Where is she?” “She’s at the Hamston hospital." A pause. My chest heaved unsteadily. “I will be there," I said before cutting the call. “Are you okay, honey?” I exhaled, trying to steady my breath. “It’s my daughter.” She inches closer. "You should go; I will cover for you." “Really?” I asked, hopeful. She nodded, reaching for my purse on the table. “Go go, I don’t want you wasting any more time." I grabbed my bag and rubbed my forehead. “Thank you. I owe you." I rushed to the elevator, hoping to slip away unnoticed. I couldn’t wait for Sophie to come back next week. She would have known what to do. I didn’t wait for the elevator to empty. I just stepped in when the doors opened and stared at the numbers descending. Six. Five. Four. Everything was happening too fast. Just way too fast. In the parking lot, my hands trembled as I unlo

Chapter: Stay away.Selene’s POV.The morning passed by too fast. Amira sat at the back seat, nibbling at the candy I had given her. I didn’t want the school bus taking her today.I had woken up with a sudden realization that Tom was going to do anything to get us back, and I couldn’t let him use Amira as leverage.We were late, but I couldn’t leave Amira at home all by herself.When I walked Amira to her class, her teacher had just taken Amira’s hand.“Good morning, ma'am." She didn’t bother with further greetings, as if she sensed my unease.Amira waved me goodbye, while I managed a soft smile.I replayed yesterday’s event in my head while I drove to work.Sophie had literally yelled over the phone while I told her everything that had happened since she was away.“I can’t wait to get back down there and put that ex-husband of yours in his place.”We talked for long hours, and my worries slowly faded temporarily.My lawyer had advised me that staying away from Rowland was the best option now.Tom was pr

Chapter: Alliance.Rowland’s POV The throbbing pain on my lower jaw woke me up. The sun spilled in through the blinds, and my body arched. I checked the time. Eight in the morning. I rubbed my head. The memories of the previous day swept in. Selene. I scrambled for my phone; I needed to know how she was doing. Found it. I had a few missed calls and voicemails. My secretary, finance manager, and Elena. I ignored them all. After we left the clinic, we had gone to take Amira from school. She looked shaken throughout the ride. I had wanted her to pull her into a hug and let her know everything would definitely be fine. But I couldn’t. I exhaled a shaky breath as my fingers hovered over her number. I shouldn’t call. I sent a text instead. ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ It ticked once, and that was it. I rested my head back on my pillow. I didn’t even know when I had grabbed Selene by her hand and said those words. The look in his eyes surprised me, and Selene had been al
