Semua Bab Mummy, We Found Our Billionaire Daddy: The Ex-wife's Revenge: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Selene: For the fifth time, I reject Mason’s call and finally switch off my phone. He’s been blowing up my phone all day—calls, texts, back to back. I don’t even know what to say to him. This is just… awkward. He’s my best friend. He cannot be my lover. I’ve never seen him that way, never even considered it. Not once have I pictured myself dating Mason, letting him take care of me the way a partner would. Don’t get me wrong—Mason is handsome. Any woman would be lucky to have him. And I know if I gave him a chance, he would love me, cherish me. But that’s the thing—I don’t want a chance with him. I don’t feel that way about him. He’s like a brother to me, my best friend. So why is he pushing this so hard? What is he hoping for? He couldn’t even give me a real reason why he wanted to date me. He never told me what he saw in me that made him think this—us—was a good idea. The only explanation he gave was that he was in love with me. And I don’t know why, but I find that so har

Selene's POV "Just look at how happy they are. I can't believe they didn't want a party, that is so unlike them. Do you remember their last birthday?" Nelly chuckles beside me, and I glance at her. She's smiling widely while watching Anna and Asher. I'm glad she loves my kids as much as I do. "How could I forget?" She laughs, a wide grin on her face. "They almost gave Mom a heart attack. When they were bouncing off the trampoline, I thought she was going to pass out from fear." We both chuckle, reminiscing about the chaotic day. She smiles before walking away with my children toward the toy section. My phone rings, and I furrow my brows when I see an unknown number. I swipe to answer, but the person on the other end stays quiet. All I hear is their heavy breathing. "Selene Norman, leaving your kids unattended was a mistake," a voice sneers, and my heart skips a beat. "Now watch me take them away from you. Time is ticking. Can you save them, or will you never see them again? You

Selene's POV I’ve been feeling completely overwhelmed ever since Maximus found out about the children. I know I’ve been acting differently—on edge, constantly looking over my shoulder. Every time I hear a knock on the door, I expect it to be him, barging in, demanding that I hand over Anna and Asher. Or worse, that he takes it to court, dragging my children into a battle they don’t deserve. I don’t want them to go through that trauma. And now, the threats. The same unknown number that called me at the mall—taunting me while my children were missing—called Nelly, too. That can’t be a coincidence. No one else knows about my children except Maximus. It has to be him. He’s trying to spook me, to make me panic, to make me slip up. But I won’t. What worries me most is the thought of him telling his family. If they find out, they’ll come after us. Cecilia Hemsworth especially. She was the one who made my life a living hell, calling me barren, telling me I was a disgrace to th

Mason’s POV "You really love being a hospital patient, don’t you, Selene? Even though you work here, you don’t seem to get tired of this.” I glare at her as she lies on the bed, then shift my focus to Avery, who’s sitting beside her. My jaw tightens. "Your best friend refused to tell me anything. She’s being a brat. She barely even let me step into the damn room." Selene lets out a small cough, but before she can say anything, Avery speaks up. "That’s because you were causing a scene, Mason. You were acting like it was your wife in that hospital bed.” She rolls her eyes. “ oh, and let’s not forget how You scared the hell out of the nurse—she thought you were about to lose it and attack her. What was I supposed to do?" She throws her hands up, then sighs dramatically. That word—wife—makes me tense. I hate the way Avery says it, like I’m just some stranger with no right to be here. She never wants me near Selene. And the thing is, I barely even know this girl, but she acts like

Selene's POV No matter how hard I try to stay calm, restlessness clings to me like a shadow. It feels like one problem after another, each one piling on before I’ve even had a chance to breathe. I still haven’t fully processed the fact that Maximus now knows I had his kids. And now, someone tried to poison me. On top of that, Mason and Neo can’t seem to be in the same room without turning it into a competition. I swear, if we had told Maximus about my attempted murder, he would’ve stormed into this hospital and demanded that I take a break from work. I have no idea how I ended up with three chaotic men in my life. When I came back to New York City, all I wanted was peace, a quiet life. But apparently, the universe had other plans. I can barely keep up. At least there’s one good thing about today—they caught the waiter who tried to poison me. He was caught before he could slip out of New York City by train. That knowledge brings me some relief. But only some. My leg b
