Ava's pov

I glared at the guy, my mind racing with thoughts. "Julian sent you here? Why? What for?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.

"He sent me because of Alex, not because of you," he replied.

I was scared. Did Julian send him to harm me or my child? I remembered him asking if I had a child. He would be furious if he discovered Aiden was his.

"Max, stay with him and gather more information," I instructed.

As Max nodded, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my baby alone in the house. I wondered how many men Julian had sent and where the rest of them were.

"Papa, come here," I said to Aiden, he climbed onto my laps, and I held him tightly.

"Let's watch my favorite movie," he said.

I turned on the television, the sound of PJ Masks filling the background. Max walked inside, and i raised a curious brow. He nodded.

"Maria! Please come take Aiden upstairs!" I yelled loudly.

Maria rushed in, carrying Aiden who was half asleep on my l

    Julian's povI slowly opened my eyes, a sharp pain piercing through my head. A groan escaped my lips as I touched my head, trying to remember what happened."Boss! Thank goodness, he is awake!" Lucas exclaimed, his voice filled with relief. I managed to utter his name, "Lucas.." my eyes locked on to his, and he gave me a pitiful look."Boss, how do you feel?" He asked.I didn't answer. Memories came flooding back, and I remembered everything. Alex, Sophia, and the shocking revelation. My eyes darkened in anger as I grabbed Lucas by the collar. "Where is Diamond?" I yelled, ignoring the sharp pain in my head. Lucas's eyes widened in fear. "He took her away, boss," he stammered. I pushed him to the floor and stood up, my chest tightening in pain. Tears burned my eyes as I thought of Diamond.She may not be my biological child, but I had raised her as my own. It was Alex's plan all along to ruin me. He took Ava away from me, and now he took Diamond. I didn't care if I wasn't her fat

    Ava's povMy heart thumped heavily in my chest as Julian drove us to an unknown destination. I was supposed to be at Aiden's school meeting but now I was a captive. Aiden, sensing my unease, clung to my hand. I had no weapon on me, and even if I did, I couldn't escape from Julian with two kids. "Mommy, why aren't we going to school anymore?" Aiden asked, his face scrunched up in worry. I forced a smile, trying to reassure him. "We will go later, okay?" But he didn't seem satisfied and his eyes lingered on me with concern. Diamond rested her head on my laps, and I stroked her hair, trying to distract myself.The car pulled into a halt, and the door opened. I stepped out of the car, facing Julian."Julian," I said his name in a trembling voice, but he ignored me, rolling his eyes. There was a plane in front of us, I knew there was no escaping this time. Diamond ran to meet her father and, they shared a tender moments. Aiden held my hand when he was out of the car, his eyes scanning

    Ava's pov Hurt flashed in Julian's eyes my words, and I felt a sense of satisfaction. "What do you want from Alex in exchange of our freedom?" I asked. "I will release you when i want to. I want nothing from that bastard but my son, Ava," Julian replied. "Aiden is not your son just like Diamond is not Alex's. You are just a sperm donor," I snapped. "Shut up!" He yelled at me angrily. I shut my mouth seeing he was getting mad. My eyes closed voluntarily and my mind wandered around. Would Alex find out? Would Julian want to take Aiden away from me? What would we be doing in the house? "Let me show you to your room. I told Lucas to buy clothes for you and the kids," Julian said. I followed him behind upstairs, he stopped in front of a room pushing it open. "Aiden wil share the room with you," he informed me, then he walked away. Entering into the room, I saw my son sleeping peacefully on the bed. I walked towards the bed and layed on it. Kissing Aiden's forehead, and

Few minutes later, they appeared well dressed. I noticed Max holding Maria's hand in a protectively, but I choose to ignore it. "We will leave now, boss," Max said, and I waved them off. After they left the house, i made some calls, inviting some girls over to the house. As I waited for them, I set the mood with music and candles.I wore only my briefs, feeling carefree and ready to have a good time. "Hello daddy," one of the girls, Vikky said, walking into the room with a seductive smile.

    Ava's pov As I woke up from the bed, I yawned and stretched, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I was resolute to find a way out of this place, even if it meant pretending to want Julian back. After taking a shower in the bathroom, I slipped in a red short dress. I enhanced my features with makeup. I smiled, staring at my reflection in the mirror, thinking. Men and their cheating nature won't pull me down, never. "Good morning, mommy," Aiden said with a yawn, breaking my thoughts. "Morning my prince charming," I gave him a smile. He grinned as he took in my appearance. "You look beautiful. Are we going to see daddy?" He asked. I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. "We will see daddy later, but we must enjoy out time here and make the best out of it," I replied. "I really like Diamond, she is like a sister to me. Who is her daddy to us? He is so nice," Aiden asked curiously. I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "Her daddy is mommy's friend okay?

    Ava's povAs Julian handed me the bowl of flour, his finger brushed against mine, sending a shiver down my spine. "Thanks," I muttered, trying to sound nonchalant, but my heart raced with the brief touch. I moved away from him, trying to compose myself. Julian's eyes locked on mine, his intense gaze made my stomach flutter. "I'm excited to taste your cookies too. It's been so long, and I barely remember how they taste," he said. I bit my lip to avoid talking, trying to ignore the memories that flooded my mind. Instead, I focused on mixing the dough."So, where is the gold?" Julian asked, I turned to him crossing my arms across my chest."Why asking about the gold all of a sudden? You kidnapped me remember?" I said with an attitude.He sighed, pinching his nose as he leaned against the fridge. "What can i do to make you like me?" He questioned. "Let me go, Julian," I replied. "I won't let you go until you agree to be mine again, Ava," he said softly. I clicked my tongue, walking a

    Julian's pov I groaned as Ava smashed her lips against mine. I had been resisting the urge to devour her, to take her right there but she was just too sexy. Grabbing her ass, i pulled her closer to me. She moaned, kissing me hungrily, her tongue dancing with mine. But as I glanced over at the kids, reality struck, and I pulled away, my heart racing. "Julian," Ava muttered, her voice husky and her eyes blazing with desire. "The kids," I whispered and she groaned. "I want you as much as you want me but we need to protect the kids from seeing us together," I said, my tone softening. Ava's cheeks reddened with embarrassment as she palmed her face, shaking her head. "Gosh, I'm such a bad mother," she muttered. "What are you saying? Just because you want to have sex doesn't mean you are bad, okay?" I tried to assure her. She shot me a glare and ran upstairs. I sighed, waiting in the kitchen thinking of ways to calm my raging desire. "Thank goodness," I muttered under

The door pushed open, and Max walked in. "Any news?" I asked him impatiently."No, boss. Julian isn't in America now," he replied, his eyes cast downward. I took a sip of my drink, dragging my cigar along, trying to calm my nerves."What do we do? I have tried calling Ava but her number is not reachable," I said with a groan. "We can track Julian or get information from one of his guys downstairs," Max suggested, and my eyes widened. "His guys downstairs? In my house?" I asked in disbelief. "I'm sorry for not telling you. Madam Ava caught one of Julian's guys who came to spy on us," he said. "Why didn't I hear of this?" I demanded, feeling pissed. "I'm sorry, boss. I was too caught up with finding her to remember," he apologized. I waved him off, thinking about what to do. "Yes!" I muttered

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.

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

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.

    Ava'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

    Julian'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,

    Ava'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

What if he leaves again? We will be alone.""I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Kim. He doesn't like me, and i have enough money to support myself. Let me go," I replied, sitting on the bed. She walked from the door to the couch beside my bed. "I don't want you to leave. You know how I feel about you," she muttered, her voice shaky. We locked gazes, and I saw the sadness in her eyes. "Kim, you are a beautiful woman. but I don't want to be involve in a love triangle. I have a lot going on in my life already."She sighed. "It's okay if you don't want to be with me, but promise you will stay. If not for me but for Daniel's sake," Kim pleaded. I had no choice than to accept to stay. All I needed to do was to stay out of Gabriel's business and avoid meals with them. "I'm heading out. Take care of yourself,"

Despite my growing desire, I gently pulled away because I didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerable state."Alex," she groaned. "I need you, come here," She demanded with a pout on her face as I tucked her into bed.Few minutes later, she drifted off to sleep and I sighed, feeling content. I made a story about the mysterious man she went on a date with and she believed. I had to confess my true identity as a mafia leader. And about how much I wanted her which she would accept to be mine soon. All I needed was to get the identity of the man she went out with. Grabbing my phone, I called Marco to ask about my business. "Hello boss," He answered, his voice shaky."Are you decent?" I asked."Yes boss. I'm working out," he replied. "Have you seen Gabriel?" I demanded, scrolling through my other phone. "I haven't.

Alex stared at me, his piercing gaze intensifying my anxiety."I'm not going to hurt, you. I don't know why you are scared," Alex said with a soothing sigh. "I can't be sure, you don't expect me to be comfortable with you. You have a gun in here, you can murder me in my sleep or something," I muttered and he shook his head. Alex walked towards me, grabbing my hand gently. I took a deep breath, feeling overwhelmed with his closeness. I gasped when he placed a kiss on my forehead."You remind me of my late wife, Ava. How do you expect me to hurt you?" He said softly. "My job doesn't mean i kill people, the gun is just for protection and I have a license for it," he explained."Are you sure?" I asked.
