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: End of it all Ava's povWe finally finished eating dinner, and I told the kids to go watch movie in the cinema. They were really happy to go watch their favorite cartoon, and not going to bed soon. "Why did you tell them to go watch movie, babe?" Julian asked, raising a curious brow."To keep them occupied before Max gets here. I'm going with you to see Alex," I replied with a shrug. His eyes widened, and he pulled me back. "What do you mean by you are going with me to see Alex? Why do you want to see him?" "I just want to go with you, Julian, just let me go with you," I pleaded. He nodded reluctantly, and there was silence. That was when I thought about it. Why did I really want to go see Alex with him? I had no idea why, but I wanted to go. I had call Max to come stay with the kids, and he has arrived.We said our goodbyes to them, and left to see Alex. My heart kept pounding in my chest on our way there. I didn't know what was next for Alex or us. I was very sure that Julian didn't know ei

Chapter: AfterJulian's pov"Max, go pick the kids from school and take them to the park. I need to take Ava to the hospital for checkup, and I don't want them to be in the house alone," I said, sipping my drink. He nodded, and I smiled. He worked for me now, I paid him one million five hundred thousand dollars. I now control all the affairs of Mafia in America and Mexico. The only thing I was trying to do was to stop the killings happening. A criminal can be tortured, or stripped off his properties but no body must be killed. That policy has been going on in the Mafia world in both countries. Everything has also been going smoothly. I finally got to know where Alex was, and I knew he was unconscious too. The guy turned out to be my long distance cousin, and he agreed to hand Alex to me after a lot of conversations. "I sent fifty thousand dollars into your account for the kids and yourself too. Be careful, Max. We have enemies out there," I warned. "That's for sure, boss. The kids are safe wit

Chapter: D and J Alex's povOpening my eyes slowly, but shutting it back due to the bright light that shined into my eyes. Should I talk about the sharp pain I felt in my head?My head was hurting like someone was hitting something on my head continuously. What had I done to deserve this punishment? I managed to open my eyes again, and I met with a young woman's face. She looked at me with so much worry on her face. It made me wonder where she knew me from, and why she cared about me this way. A whole me, Alexander! The merciless man. I flinched when she touched my arm, and she apologized. "I'm sorry for touching you without your permission. I'm so sorry."Sitting up as groans of pain escaped my lips. "It's fine. Please, who are you? And where is this? How did I find myself here or how did you find me?" I asked, raising a curious brow. As I waited for her answer, I looked down to see bondage wrapped around my stomach to my waist. The place hurt when I touched it. "My brother works for you. He brou

Chapter: Cookies Ava's povJulian went to have a conversation with Max which made me a little worried. I thought about what could have happened that Max wanted to see him privately, and not in front of everyone. My son smiled brightly as he ate more of his pancakes. He loved pancakes, and I made him love it. I remembered everything now, everything that happened in the past. It all came when Julian, and Alex pointed gun at each other. Although, I know the truth already but it felt so different when I could remember. I was happy to carry this baby, but not anymore. After all Alex has done to us, why should I still want to carry his child? That was so crazy, and annoying but I had no choice. Julian already promised to love the baby like his, so it was fine. "Are we going to school, mommy?" Aiden asked with a pout. "Just what I wanted to ask. We haven't been in school for three days, and I miss my friends," Diamond muttered with sadness written all over her face. I smiled, placing my hands on the ta

Chapter: Family Julian's povWe finally archieved our aim today. I kicked Alex to the side of the room. "Let's go, Julian. We have to go before something happens," Ava whispered, dragging my hand. I wanted to burn down the house before, but I decided against it when Ava told me to leave. I would be back soon to complete the mission.I wasn't sure if Alex was really dead, but it was something. I didn't plan to kill him today, the plan was to take Ava out of his house, and come back later for a revenge plan. I kept my gun in my pocket, grabbing Ava's hand protectively. Luckily, on our way out there was nobody to stop us. "Thank goodness, thank you babe," Ava whispered when we finally entered the car. She placed her head on my chest, and I stroked her hair. The ride to the hotel was quiet, long and pleasuring. I finally felt at peace for what just happened. I hired a driver, and the old man knew how to do his job. A smile crept to my face, my woman was finally here with me. What else did I want now?

Chapter: At lastAlex's povI almost lost my mind when I found out the kids has gone missing. I couldn't even think of who could do this to me. I accept everything, but messing with the kids was extreme. Ava's reaction to it made me feel guilty. I felt like a loser because she warned me about it a day before it happened. I got the school authorities arrested, but the police men released them after three hours. They said I had no reason whatever to keep them in prison, because the kids volunteered to follow the stranger that came to pick them. How could the kids do this to me? Who did they follow? What sort of madness was this? I was almost losing my mind. I searched for them everywhere I thought they would be, but I didn't find them there. I had no idea on what to do anymore. I was fucking disturbed, and I didn't know when I started crying in the car. What would be my stress after everything? Losing two children on a day was unbelievable. Was this a way to pay for my sins? I wondered if it was Go
