Adrian had barely stepped through the front door when raised voices drifted from the living room.

"I'm telling you, this is ridiculous!" Camille snapped, throwing a designer shopping bag onto the sofa. "Do you know how humiliating it was? The boutique said my fitting was yesterday! Yesterday! Nobody reminded me!"

Vivian looked no better.

"And my charity luncheon is in three days." She rubbed her temples irritably. "The invitations haven't been confirmed, the seating arrangement hasn't been fina

  • The Ex-wife they Claimed: Their Heat, Her Fire   A dinner to remember

    "What's this?"The Triplets stood by the door of the dining room, staring at the extravagant meals that filled the long dining table, with Selene standing by it, beaming with sparkles in her eyes."Well, since you three always cooked for me, I wanted to make you feel just as special," She quickly ran up to them and helped them take off their Jacket.Another day had passed. She'd returned from work about three hours earlier than them and had decided to treat them to something very special.Dinner was everything special she could think of. From steak to three glasses of wine filled to the brim, and even venison that she knew wolves aren't able to resist."You didn't have to," Ajax said as he stared down at the food, "I was going to come and prepare something for you,""I don't wanna hear another word!" She forced a frown on her face so it looked like she was being serious.Then, she began pushing them toward the empty seats of the table.They all sat down, with Jayden and Elliot on one

  • The Ex-wife they Claimed: Their Heat, Her Fire   Their World is Falling Apart

    Vivian had been pacing the length of the sitting room inside the Laurent mansion for nearly ten minutes, her heels striking the marble floor hard enough to make Camille wince.The television continued playing in the background.BREAKING NEWS: HARRISON LAURENT DISOWNS FAMILY, ANNOUNCES SELENE AS SOLE HEIRESS-"Turn that shit off!" Vivian screamed, and Camille snatched the remote from the table and switched channels.Another station.Same story.Another again.Same photographs and videos of Selene walking out of Laurent Enterprise beside Harrison.More of the media rushing into the conference room, catching the three of them off guard and leaving them exposed to questions that were getting more and more frustrating by the second.There was even a video of Adrian, who had raised a hand and almost punched one of them.Camille threw the remote angrily, and it struck the wall and dropped onto the carpet, "This is insane!" she shrieked. "He can't actually do this!"Vivian glanced at her daug

  • The Ex-wife they Claimed: Their Heat, Her Fire   How well do you know her?

    Hearing Harrison say that felt worse than someone carving a hole through her heart.Tears welled in her eyes and fell down her cheeks silently, and words had completely failed her.The car was driving on the highway now, the sound of the engine filling up the silence.Harrison reached over with a soft smile and gently wiped away her tears, before he took her hand even more gently into his, looking at her with that precious gaze he always gave her.That always reminded her that she was worth something."Selene," He started, looking at her and beaming with pride, "Even if I died right now, I regret absolutely nothing. Meeting you, loving you, speaking to you, was one of the best decisions I've ever made. You are my pride and joy, Selene. I could close my eyes right now, and I would be the happiest person still,"The tears only kept coming, and she finally reached in and embraced him hard.She couldn't lose him.She would never be able to forgive herself, because she had obviously neglec

  • The Ex-wife they Claimed: Their Heat, Her Fire   His Weak Pulse

    Never in her life did she imagine Adrian would ever look at her with an emotion so strong. They usually never held eye contact for more than three seconds, and he would look away at something he deemed more important than her.The cries of the women in the room caught her attention, and she finally tore her eyes away from Adrian and turned back to Harrison. Vivian and Camille had surrounded him. They seemed to have digested the fact that their grandfather was finally being very serious about this and had gone down on their knees. "Dad, please, you can't do this. We are your family; you can't leave us with nothing," Vivian shrieked. Even at what looked like her lowest so far, she still had the audacity to bring anger into it. "Grandpa," Camille also looked like her mother, "You're making the wrong decision! What makes you think Selene deserves anything? We are your real family! I admit we've made many mistakes, but you can't just do this to us and leave us with nothing. You can't!"

  • The Ex-wife they Claimed: Their Heat, Her Fire   The Founder's Announcement II

    Selene's chest tightened slightly. The difficult days of her life would never leave her. She would always remember everything the Laurents made her go through. She would never forget the feeling of her lifeless baby in her arms, while she was sitting in a pool of blood. She would never forget the look of disgust on Adrian's face when he saw her in labour, but took Chloe's hand instead and left. “You have spent years behaving as though this company survived because of the Laurent name.” Harrison continued, then he leaned back on his chair, “It didn't. It survived because people who actually cared about it kept saving you from yourselves.”Adrian's fists curled beneath the table, and he looked up at Selene once again. He would try to control his anger for now, but once he had her in his clutches again, he would make her pay!!She would be crawling on the floor, licking dirt off the floor with a leash around her neck as he dragged her like a dog everywhere before he would finally acce

    The room exploded the moment they saw her,“What is she doing here?” Vivian shot to her feet so quickly that her chair scraped violently against the wooden floor.Camille's face twisted with disgust. “Grandpa, you cannot be serious.”Adrian didn't say anything, and simply stared at Selene.She stood just inside the enormous doors, one hand resting loosely against the handle, her expression completely unreadable.Adrian stared at her.She had become completely insufferable.The way she stood there now, completely unaffected by the room full of people who had once been her family, irritated him more than it should have. She wasn't even trying to hide the contempt in her eyes.And that look. God, that look.Selene used to look at him differently.He knew what she looked like when she wanted his attention. He knew the tiny changes in her expression, the way her eyes lingered, the way her entire body seemed to react whenever he gave her even the smallest scrap of affection.Now? Nothing.S

    "Selene Vale," Jayden repeated slowly, as though testing the name on his tongue, "You know, for someone who's been driving half the corporate world insane for years, you're surprisingly normal."A faint smile touched her lips, "Is that your way of saying you're disappointed?""No," Elliot replied b

    Benjamin had helped her bring up her luggage into her penthouse even though she said she could do it on her own. The kind man had simply insisted. Once everything was in place, Benjamin stood by the door while Selene collapsed on the couch, letting out a huge sigh."Would you like me to get anythi

  • The Ex-wife they Claimed: Their Heat, Her Fire   Finally Walking Away

    Selene felt like chewing his head off and spitting it out at that moment."This was exactly how we met her when we also arrived," Vivian quickly barked, "Can you believe this woman? After everything you've done for her, and this is how she repays you?!"Chloe slowly let go of Adrian's arm, her eyes
