Julian's pov"Good morning Julian," Kim said as she walked into my room and I groaned inwardly. "Good morning," I muttered, looking away from her. "I need help with my zipper. I've been struggling to get it up," she said and I sighed, turning to her. Her back was on full display, and she pressed herself against me, making my skin crawl. "Kim, I can't get the zipper done when you are too close to me," I pointed out. She muttered an apology, shifting forward, her eyes flashing with disappointment."Done," I said after helping her. She wrapped her arms around my neck suddenly. "Julian, don't you like what you see?" She asked, licking her lips. "I don't like this. You have a husband," I replied as I pushed her away from me gently which made her frown. "Gabriel is my baby daddy not my husband. Julian, I saved your life when you were about to die. The least you can do to appreciate me is by giving me what I want," she said stubbornly. "I don't know what you want! Stop stressing me ple

Alex's povI clenched my jaw, frustration boiling over as I yelled into the phone. "What are you even saying? How can you tell me you had an accident with the car and everything was spoiled? We are talking about goods worth of fifty million dollars!""I'm sorry, sir. It wasn't intentional," My manager in America replied, Jude his voice trembling. "Jude, this is the second time! Goods of a hundred million dollars in a month. What the hell is wrong with you?" I demanded, anger evident in my voice. "I'm sorry sir," he repeated and I hung up. He was messing with me, there was more to this, and I would find out. I made calls to the guards over there to confirm if he truly had an accident. They promised to give me feedback in two hours. Sighing, I sipped my drink. I was tired of everything going on all at once. It's been two month since Ava's death and everything with the kids had been a struggle.They had only begun to talk to me after a month. Diamond still hated me, but Aiden and I ma

Ava's pov"Hey! She is opening her eyes," someone yelled. I opened my eyes, staring at the blurry vision in front of me. "Ava, are you okay?" Joey asked, pulling me up. I groaned, blinking my eyes. My head throbbed like i had hit it on the ground. "Bring her here, let her have some water," Jessica said. Joey helped me to the couch and handed me a cup of water. I gulped it down then sighed, feeling relieved. "Who are you?" Joey asked the guy who triggered something in me."My name is Julian. I'm here with Kim and Daniel. Gabriel's family," he introduced, pointing a woman and a boy. There was silence and tension after he spoke. Julian and I locked gazes, he looked so familiar. I wondered if I knew him before. The look on his face proved something, I have to talk to him before he leaves. He could know something about me. "Please, have your seat," Jessica broke the silence and everyone sat down. "My name is Jessica, Gabriel's wife. She is Joey, his daughter and this is Ava, a friend

Ava's povI smoothed my gown, checking myself in the mirror. My reflection showed a beautiful, poised woman, perfect for my first day at work."Ava, hurry up. I have to get his kids ready for school!" Jessica called out. I added a lip gloss to keep my lips moist and grabbed my phone, rushing out of the room. "I'm sorry for delaying you, Jessica. I overslept," I apologized and the old woman smiled. "You look stunning by the way," she complimented.I blushed at her compliment. "Thanks to you for helping me get my life back together.""Joey! We are leaving!" Jessica yelled loudly. Joey came out of her room with sleep eyes but her eyes widened when it met mine. "Girl, you are so hot. Who knew you had this kind of body? Mom's boss will be all over you," Joey squealed with excitement. "This girl is crazy. Let's be on our way," Jessica said as she shook her head in disappointment while I laughed and we left for work.Jessica drove while I turned on the radio, looking for a suitable song

Alex's pov"I got A in my maths test!" Aiden announced and I smiled, happy he was excelling in school. "I got an A too and in my English test," Diamond chimed in, her eyes sparkling. I clapped, thrilled by their achievements. "I will take you both to disney land on saturday as a reward for passing your test in school.""Wow! Thank you!" They exclaimed with excitement and I chuckled. "I will get you a puppy, Diamond like you discussed with your brother," I added. "Really?" She asked for confirmation. " Yes princess. You make me proud, and I will make you happy too," I replied. She rushed to give me a hug and my heart swelled with love. "Thank you so much. I will never disappoint you," she assured me. "What about me?" Aiden asked, pretending to be upset. "I've got you covered buddy. A brand new play station is all yours," I said with a grin."That's huge, thanks Dad!" He exclaimed, hugging me too. I carried them on my laps, feeling a surge of protection wash over me. If it was to

Ava's povI groaned, my eyes snapping open to a piercing headache. A concerned face hovered above me."Hey, are you okay?" Someone asked. I looked up to see the man I saw earlier, he looked worried. "Do you need water or anything?" He asked again. I felt embarrassed for making a mess out of myself on my first day at work. "No sir, I'm sorry for passing out. It tends to happen anytime I try to remember things," I apologized, sitting up."It's fine, there is no need to apologise. Are you sure you are good? I can take you to the hospital for check up," he offered and I shook my head."My name is Alex, I'm Jessica's boss," he introduced himself. Alex? There was something about that name. Why does it sound familiar?"Do you know me from anywhere? Have you seen me before?" I asked and he was taken a back by my question. "I don't know you. This is my first time seeing you but you look like my late wife alot. One would have thought you guys are twins," he replied. "I'm sorry about the dea

Julian's povI had just finished ordering clothes online for Daniel and myself. I also gave Kim some money for shopping. She was curious about how I got money but I refused to tell her. There hadn't been any difference. She had been pestering and seducing me into sleeping with her but I resisted even though it was hard. Kim was a really beautiful woman with enough weight in appropriate places but there was this particular person who was always on my mind.The lady we met as Gabriel's house. I felt connected to her in some kind of way. I was sure I had met her somewhere but it was sad I couldn't remember. "Julian, I'm home!" Kim yelled. I walked out of my room to the living room. She was an entrepreneur, she buys goods and sells them so she has enough time for herself. "Welcome back. How was the place you went to?" I asked. "It was good. Did you miss me?" She replied with a wink and I rolled my eyes. "You have started again. What are we having for dinner and why is Daniel not back

Ava's pov"Good morning Ava. How are you doing today?" Alex asked with a smile the moment he came downstairs and saw me. "I'm fine, thank you," I replied nervously. He walked closer to me, his perfume, a mixture of wood and smoke filled my nose. "I was wondering and I wanted to ask if you are comfortable working here in my house. I know my kids can be demanding considering the fact that you look like their mother," he said."I'm comfortable working here, there's no problem at all. I love your kids already, they are fun," I replied and his mouth curved into a smile. "Thank you. Don't hesitate to come to me if you need anything," he said with a wink. I blushed when he did that, he confirmed my suspicion. Alex was attracted to me because of the resemblance. "I will leave you to whatever you are doing," he muttered before leaving."Do I really want this?" I asked myself."Ava, are you okay?" Jessica asked as she joined me in the living room. "Yes, I'm fine. Where are the kids?" I repl

Ava's povAiden, and his sister had gone to bed. I was left with my husband, the private time was really needed."Baby, can you believe that guy paid a hundred million dollars just like that?" Julian said, stroking my hair. My eyes widened in shock. "Just because you agreed to be the face of his brand. I told you babe, the fame and position you have is enough for you. You don't have to be a chairman. You are okay the way you are, all we need is more higher places."He smiled, a deep genuine smile. "I don't even want to be the chairman anymore, I feel so relieved and happy right now," he said.Sighing, we kissed briefly. "Thank you so much, love. Thank you so much for your support. And, I'm very proud to call you my husband. You remain the best forever.""I'm proud to call you my wife too. We should live and enjoy life with our children now. We are complete, and there's nothing we are looking for," He muttered in his sexy voice.I chuckled, sipping my drink. "You are right about that,
Tangled in vengeance and desire Entanglement
Alex's povHolding Diamond's hand, I felt my heart almost burst with happiness. I was taking her to a private lounge where we would have a heart to heart conversation. She was very quiet, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her mind. She looked just like me, with a touch of her mother's face. The only thing that made me worried was her outfit, it was screaming dark aura. She wore black from her head down to toes. She used to love pink and all this bright colors when she was a kid, I wondered what changed. "Let's sit here, I want to talk to you," I broke the silence, pointing to the couch. She nodded, sitting on it without protesting. I called the waiter to bring us a fruit wine without alcohol. We were both on our phones until the waiter brought the drink. "First of, I want to apologize for everything that has happened. I didn't want to leave you alone for all these years, but Julian made me go far away. I'm not putting the blame on him, but we were entangled in a

Julian's povFinally, everything has been resolved now. I bid Alex goodbye, and left for my house. I knew Ava would be so happy when I tell her everything has been sorted out. At least, we wouldn't live in fear anymore. Everyone would be free, a smile didn't leave my face all through my ride back home. Daisy welcomed me with a bright smile the moment I stepped outside my car. "Daddy, welcome back home," She said. I hugged her, handing the bag of gift I bought. "I bought you some chocolates, sweet and toys."She was very happy, and it was my joy to see my children happy. I met Diamond sitting in the living room with her boxes beside the door. "Welcome daddy," She muttered, avoiding my gaze. I sighed, walking to sit beside her. She had tears in her eyes, and my heart ached for her. I still loved her like my own, she was still my baby after all."I'm sorry dad. I know you are very angry at me for all the hurtful things i've said to you. I shouldn't have said all those things to you,

Alex's pov Jordan's eyes widened when I told her about my child that would soon become part of our small family. "I don't understand the reason why you will want back the child after so many years, Alex. This thing you are doing will destroy what we have, do you think the child wouldn't try to come in between us?" Jordan asked, raising a curious brow. I sat on the bed, removing my shirt. "Nothing can come between us, babe. I can't just stay here when I know fully well that I have a child somewhere. I want to be called a Father too," I replied, calmly. She had tears in her eyes suddenly. "You are doing all this because I failed to give you a child, Alex. All this is because I failed to be a good wife to you," she muttered, her voice shaky. Pulling her closer to me. "This is not about you, babe. We have both tried but nothing is coming forth that's why we want to go for surrogacy. Technology has made everything easier for us. I love you babe, and I don't ca

Ava's pov"You want to leave? How can you say you want to leave and go meet Alex?" I asked in disbelief. The first time she said it, I actually thought it was a joke. Diamond chuckled, shaking her head. "Why won't I want to leave? I'm tired of staying and you guys don't even want me here anymore. Let me just go, and meet my father."Julian and I exchanged glances. "Let her go meet her father, Ava. I don't want to fight anymore, and the girl wants her dad too."I was just in pure shock after Julian talked, and walked away like he didn't care. "Julian! Why are you doing this to us? You raised this girl since she was a child."He ignored me until he was out of sight. "Your husband doesn't care about me, I see no reason why you should be bothered about me," Diamond muttered, rolling her eyes. "What do you mean by he doesn't care about you? This man raised you since you were a little baby, Diamond. Why can't you appreciate him for once? All you do is make him sad and disrespect our famil

Julian's povI crossed my legs over each other, sipping my wine. Aiden just watched me with tired eyes, and I chuckled. "Daddy, I'm very tired. I need to sleep, because I'm stressed. You have to forgive me for what have done," He pleaded. Laughing, I passed him a cup of wine. It has alcohol but it was not too much and he has taken something worse than that. Aiden shook his head. "I don't want to drink, dad."I pushed the drink into his hands, and he looked away in guilt. "I know you want to drink, there's no need to pretend."He took a sip, and sighed. "I think you understand me better, dad. I promise not to repeat the same mistake again."I tapped his lap. "It's okay, Aiden. Forget about what you have done and let us move on. I have a lot of things on my mind than to think about that."His face turned calm. "Is it about the chairman position? You are the rightful person to the position, and I see no reason why the chairman shouldn't give it to you.""I think he has other plans bec

Alex's pov "We have to go, babe. I need to be at the event, and you have to accompany me too," Jordan, my wife insisted. I sighed, running my hands in my hair. Why did the event have to take place in America? I wasn't ready to face my past again. "Baby, I know you have a lot of memories there, but we need to be there. The minister invited us to this party and it will be very disrespectful to ignore," She said, trying to make me agree. I raised my hands up in surrender. "Okay babe, I have no choice than to say yes to you. We will take off tomorrow morning."She hugged me tight, wrapping her arms round my waist and gave me a kiss. "Thank you baby. I will go pack our things now."I watched her run upstairs, shaking my head. She was always excited going to the parties, and events. I loved that about my wife, she was very energetic. We got married four years ago after a lot of up and downs. I relocated to London after the issue with her brother, and I built a life for myself here. I

Ava's povThe children problems has been a sort of headache to me and my husband. We raised them with so much love, yet the only way they could repay us was by causing trouble everywhere. "Mommy, why are they not downstairs for dinner?" Daisy asked, raising a curious brow as I set the table with the chef and my kitchen assistant. I knew she was referring to her older siblings. Diamond didn't like her that much, but she was the apple of her brother's eyes. "Can you please go and call them to come have dinner? You can tell your brother alone and he will pass the information to diamond" I asked politely. She nodded happily, running upstairs to call Aiden. Getting to know that Diasy was Julian's biological child was still a shock to me. I didn't know how that happened. He was telling me about how we had something together when we were drunk one night, but I didn't even remember anything. Our marriage was filled with a lot of bliss and happiness. We got married two months after he pr
