Tangled in vengeance and desire
"I'm sorry for everything I did in the past. I want us to reunite as a family. I want to be involved in my child's life," Julian said to Ava, his voice laced with sincerity as he held her hand.
Ava shook her head, her finger pointed accusingly to his chest. "Now, you want me because i have a child with you? It's too late, Julian," she replied.
"Ava, we can make this work. Just give me a chance to make everything right," he said to her in a pleading voice.
She remained silent, trying to pull her hand away but Julian held it tight. He pulled her close, his lips brushing hers.
"You will always be mine, Ava. If I can't have you then no one will," he whispered, his breath sending shivers down her spine.

Chapter: KimKim's povMy hands trembled as I stared at Julian, whose head was rested on my laps. His rugged features, once commanding and powerful, now seemed vulnerable. Tracing his eyebrows, I couldn't help but feel the spark and connection that had drawn me to him ten years ago. I was in love with him already. Memories flooded my mind. He was the first man I ever had sex with, and I had given him my heart. However I was heartbroken when he said it was just a one night thing the next day. I found him three months ago unconscious with a gun wound, I knew it was his greatest rival who was responsible, Alex. Julian didn't remember me when he woke up which made me so happy. I had been searching for the perfect plan to crawl back into his life, and claim him as mine alone. He used to be the mafia leader in America, and I was surprised when Alex took over his position. I started making my findings, and research. I got to know through his house help that Alex held him hostage. Thank goodness, Ga

Chapter: DanielAlex's povI drove back home with a smile on my face. My plan worked, my doctor gave me a drug which I put in Ava's drink . She fainted, and didn't talk about remembering any past when she woke up.She even agreed to come stay with us permanently as my kids full time nanny. I was more than happy to have her back to myself. "Daddy, welcome back," Aiden said, giving me a hug when I stepped into the house."Welcome home, daddy," Diamond said, my lips curved into a smile at the feeling of her calling me dad. I handed Aiden the chocolates, and sweets I bought for them. "You are the best," Diamond smiled, snatching the bag from Aiden. "Hey! Give it to me!" Aiden yelled. I shook my head, laughing at their childishness and bickering. "Ava is finally coming to stay with us. How do you guys feel?" I asked, and they both turned to me. "I'm so excited to have my mom back. Daddy, when can we tell her the truth?" Aiden replied with a pout. "Yeah, she deserves to know the truth," Diamond added

Chapter: ApartAva's pov"What the hell is happening here?" I demanded when I saw Julian on the floor with Kim crying beside him. My heart raced at the thought of what could be wrong. The wound looked like a gunshot, and fear gripped me. "Jessica, what's happening? Somebody talk to me!!" I yelled loudly. Jessica sighed as she walked towards the door where Julian laid lifeless. "You should be asking her that question. She just showed up at my door with him," Jessica said, her voice shaky. I turned to Kim who was gasping heavily as she grabbed Julian's body. "What happened to him? Say something and stop crying," I said softly. Kim wiped her tears, clearing her throat before speaking. "A man sh.. showed up in our ho.. house. He to.. took Daniel away. He took my son and shot Julian."My eyes widened. "Did you take him to the hospital? He should be in the hospital," I asked. "I removed the bullet myself. There will be questioning in the hospital and I could get arrested," She replied. Jessica and

Chapter: Full time nannyAva's povMy eyes snapped open, I felt the usual pain piercing my head. I blinked my eyes as I took in my environment. It was Alex's room? But I didn't remember how and when I got in here. I sat up slowly, wincing in pain. The door pushed open, and Alex walked in with tray in his hands. "Hey, you are awake," Alex said, his voice laced with worry as he placed the tray on the bed. "How did I get in here? I.. I can't remember what happened," I asked. His eyes glistening with amusement, and I raised a curious brow."You fainted so I brought you here to rest," He replied, pouring water into a glass cup and he handed it to me. I gulped down the water, feeling a sense of relief at the coolness it brought me. I was confused why I didn't remember that happened. "Hey, don't stress it. You worry too much and it's not good for you," He said softly, and I nodded. Alex got into the bed beside me. My breath hitched as he pulled me closer to him. My head relaxed on his chest, and he stroked my

Chapter: KidnapJulian's povI wrote down Ava's boss's address after booking a meeting online to see him. The meeting was scheduled in two weeks time which seemed like eternity, but I was determined to uncover the truth. Perhaps confronting him would trigger my lost memories. Sipping my drink, I couldn't shake off the feeling of heartbreak. Ava didn't want me, and her boss had manipulated her into believing i was a bad person. I wondered if he had ulterior motives, maybe even feelings for her. "You wouldn't dare!" Kim's yell pulled me out of my sleep, and I rubbed my temples. Who was she yelling at?Then, I heard her scream which made me sprang up from the bed. My jaw clenching in anger. She was on the floor in the living room with Gabriel towering over her. "What the hell is happening here?" I demanded as I grabbed Kim's hand, helping her up. A hand print was on her cheeks, and I turned to Gabriel in anger. "Dude, are you crazy? How dare you hit her?" I demanded, pushing him. "Stay out of this,

Chapter: DisappointedAva's povJulian had a shocking expression on his face, his mouth agape, and his eyes filled with worry. "I have no relationship with your boss, Ava. How does he know me?" He demanded, his voice laced in anger. I sighed, frustrated with everything going on. "I don't know, Julian. Just give me some space for now. I need time to think about everything," I said. "I'm disappointed," Julian muttered and I raised a curious brow. "What do you mean by that?" I demanded. "This same boss of yours is the one you found a gun in his room. If you truly like me, you won't believe his words about me without evidence. Take care of yourself, Ava. Call me when you need me," Julian said, before storming off. I watched his car speed away. I didn't know what to do or who to believe. Alex might be a mafia leader, but he seemed genuine. I barely know anything about Julian so he shouldn't blame me for not trusting him. "Hey, how did it go?" Joey asked worriedly. "He was so angry, Joey," I replied. Jess
