SELENA

I 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

    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

    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

    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

    JOLIEI was putting my makeup on when my husband, Jenson walked in. He kissed me on the cheek and I had to smile and pretend as if I liked it when the truth was, I wanted to throw up so bad. I looked at him, a soft smile on his face. "You are back from the office so soon?" I asked. He nodded his head, "Yeah, I wanted to come back and spend time with my darling wife," Jenson said. I frowned, Jenson was a workaholic and that was one of the reasons I had married him back then. He could go off and work all he wanted while I spent his money. But every now and then, he would get the urge to show off the fact that he had a beautiful wife and he would ask that I go out with him. "Baby, you know I would love to spend time with you today, but didn't I tell you that I was going to see a few of my friends? We haven't had time to catch up, and I really want to hang out with them? We can do this another time, okay?" I asked, pouting my lips so he would feel sorry for me .I actually had no

    ADAMLily looked away from me just then, and I knew instantly that Selena had lied to me about the baby being dead. My heart hurt when I realized this. I knew she was mad at me and she hated me right now, but was there any reason for her to be so cruel to me? Did she have to tell me that the baby was dead?!It did not make sense for her to go so far. "What baby? I don't know what you are talking about," Lily denied it. "Lily, I have never pressured your father's company before this. Although I did not help, I did not make things even more difficult for you guys. If you think you are having a great life right now and you really want to lose the company, you can keep lying!" I snarled at her.This was my son! I had really been looking forward to the birth of that child when Selena was pregnant! Because she fell into the cold water, I did not dare to imagine that the baby had survived. And when Selena told me the baby died, although I was sad, I consoled myself that it was fine as

    LILYI had just put Daniel to bed when I heard voices coming from downstairs. I frowned, because it seemed like someone was shouting my name for me to come down. I had no idea who it was but I knew I had to go see who was going on. When I arrived downstairs, I saw my mother trying her best to hold Adam back. A frown appeared on my face just then. Adam had never been in this house ever since we were married, and I wasn't happy that he was finally here. I knew that he could not be here for anything cold. I smiled coldly as I approached him. "What are you doing here, Adam? Don't tell me that you are thinking of repairing our marriage?" I asked sarcastically. "Lily! How can you talk like that?! You haven't seen your husband in a long time. You should be nice to him!" My mother chided me. I just rolled my eyes at this. "Whatever mom, I don't care. Don't you think that we should stop pretending already? We all know what the state of our marriage is!" I said, for the first time in

    SELENAI stood up and pointed a finger at Adam angrily. "I don't care about you and Lily. Adam, I am only here to take back my company and my daughter!" I yelled at him. I did not give a damn whatever happened to him and Lily. He could get a divorce all he wanted. I just didn't want to be involved in it. Adam looked hurt, and his face paled as he stared at me. Like he could not believe what I was saying. He got up and tried to take my hand again but I just slapped his hand away again. "Don't even think about touching me!" I snapped at him. "Selena....what....what happened to me? We....I thought that you were back for us! For Ariel and I!" He said. I sneered, "Well, you thought wrong. My coming back has nothing to do with you. I know you're the one in charge of my company now. I want it back, and I want my daughter back. I am prepared to go to court for both my company and the custody of my daughter!" I yelled. I felt like I could not stay in the office anymore. This man had

    SELENA I sneered at Adam, I could not believe that he actually thought that he was dreaming. "Why? Did you think I was dead?! I am sure you must have been happy these past five years thinking I was dead, right?" I could not stop myself from being sarcastic towards him. I told myself I was not going to mention the things that happened in the past since I just wanted all of this to be over with, but I could not control myself. I was filled with anger when I remembered how he had kept me hostage five years ago! "Selena, you know that's not true. That's just not true. I love you....I really love you. These past five years. I have been looking for you. I ....refused to accept that you were dead no, matter how many times people said that. I.....I knew you were alive. Thank you so much....thank you so much for coming back to me," he said to me. Adam was teary eyed, and he tried to hug me again, but I just pushed him away. No way I was going to let him sweet-talk his way into my life a

    SELENA "Where is he?" I asked the secretary, who kept looking at me with a guarded gaze. I could not recognize her and that only meant she was working here five years ago. She did not know who I was. Not that I cared anyway. "I already called the CEO, he said he would be here soon" she said, still giving me a guarded look. "That's fine, I'll just go in to wait for him," I said, trying to enter the office. However, the woman stood in front of me, refusing to let me in. I raised an eyebrow, taking her in fully. She looked no older than twenty two. "Do you know who I am?" I asked her. She shook her head, "I don't know who you are, but knowing who you are is not part of my job. I am not allowed to let anyone into the office because there are a lot of important documents in there and...." She was still talking when I pushed her away from the door lightly. "Don't stand in my way next time if you don't want to lose your job" I said coldly.Before and could protest more, I walked in

    ADAM"Adam, your father and I are not living happily like nothing happened. We are sorry about what happened to her. But you can't put all of the blame on us. We didn't mean for it to happen. She.. "I turned to my mother and glared at her sharply at her. "Have you forgotten that this happened because of you? Have you forgotten that it happened because I was trying to protect you?!" I snapped at her."Adam! Don't talk to your mother like that!". My father warned me. "Oh so you're suddenly a good husband who cares about his wife now?!" I snapped at him, unable to hold myself back. I was really angry. "Hey! We are still your parents no matter what!""I don't care about any of that, and I also don't care about Lily and that child of hers. You are the one who wanted to have that child. So you are going to be responsible for it. I said five years ago that I wouldn't get involved with him! I am planning on standing by my words!" I could not hold myself back anymore and I was on the ver

    ADAMI slipped my hands into my pocket and approached my father with a cold look on his face. "What did you want me here for?" I asked coldly. I knew he would only ask me to come here when he wanted to ask me a favour. It wasn't like I was going to do it, I just wanted to hear it so I could reject him in person. My father cleared his throat, "Is this how you talk to your parents?! Only God knows how you are raising that daughter of yours when you can't even be respectful to us. No matter what happened before, it's all in the past. Don't you think that we deserve to move on?"My father was getting more and more disgusting. He was even twisting history to make it seem like he didn't do anything big. I held back my anger when I thought of how I had to get back to Ariel as soon as possible. I could not let my daughter down. "You don't need to worry about my daughter's upbringing. You can be rest assured that she will not grow up with a father who knocks his mother around!"A pale l

    LILYPhilp's face paled when I asked him this and I leaned back on my chair, comfortably. I knew I had him where I wanted him right now, he would have no other choice but to help me. "Do you know that I am not the only one who will go down if you do this? You are also going to get dragged down with me. Are you sure that you want to face the consequences of that?" He asked. I just shrugged when he asked me this, I didn't care. I was already on the verge of losing everything. "I don't think I can stand to lose anything else as it stands. Adam already hates me, and he is always thinking of ways to get out of this marriage. The most he would do is divorce me if he finds out that truth. But you.....you're his father. How are you going to survive if Adam decides that he wants to come after you?" I smirked at Philp, and I could see that he was shaking in anger. Although he had his own assets in his hands, Adam could easily take it all away from him if he wanted to. "I am going to talk
