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
Alex's povThey finally left, and I sighed in relief. I had finally surrendered everything to them. There was no point in fighting anymore. I should be grateful that they didn't even kill me. I would go after my kids later. My health was all that mattered to me at this point. I was scared of dying, I still wanted to live my life. Jordan walked towards me, and I smiled. "They finally left, huh? How are you doing now?" She asked, raising a curious brow. I just smiled sadly, tapping the couch for her to sit. Jordan sat beside me, staring straight into my eyes."I'm good, Jordan. I just don't have any choice, but to surrender to this people. I need to take care of myself first, and I'm tired of living this life," I replied, playing with my fingers. She placed her hand on my lap, smiling. "Your decision is right, Alex. You need to take a break from everything. That's the right thing to do. I'm proud of your decision."I placed my hand on hers, feeling my heart filled with so much joy.
Julian's pov"You guys should go to bed, and stop disturbing your mother," I half yelled at the kids who played on our bed. They were just too troublesome, and Ava was getting tired. "But, we want to play with you. This is our last night in Mexico, dad. Let's have fun!" Aiden yelled with excitement. "We have had enough fun already. Mom is tired, and she needs to rest. Do you guys want to hurt your younger sibling?" I asked, trying to guilt strip them. Diamond grabbed Aiden's hand. "We have to go to bed. Let's allow mom to rest okay," she whispered into his ear. Aiden nodded reluctantly, and they got down. "We can have more fun tomorrow, guys. I just need to rest, and I love you so much too."Their mouth curved into a smile now. "We love you too, mom and dad. You guys should sleep well," they both said, and left the room. I sighed while Ava chuckled. "Raising two kids is not easy. Those two are just too troublesome," She said, shaking her head. I nodded in agreement,and I laid be
Ava's povOur new place was very nice, and I loved the fact that we had finally left Mexico. It had a lot of memories that I actually didn't want to remember again. America was my home now. A new place with my man, and children. I was helping the kids arrange their things when Daniel rushed into the room. He exchanged hugs with the kids, and they were so happy to see each other. That was when I realized his mother was here. He hugged me too. I was happy to see him as well. I left the kids to do whatever they wanted, and proceeded downstairs to welcome Kim. I knew Julian wasn't happy to have her here, but I was the one that invited her. We had this plan between us, because I wanted to know if Julian truly loved me. Kim would seduce him, and we wanted to know if he would want to continue any form of relationship with her. As I alighted from downstairs, they were already having a heated conversation. Julian was so carry away, and he didn't even know I was there. "Ava, my darling fr
Ava's povI got no response still, just sounds of people moving around the house. I almost peed on myself from where I stood. It was so crazy, because they didn't even say a word. "Who is here? I need to know what the fuck is going on in my house?" I demanded, taking a deep breath. Nothing again, only the sound of things moving. I got very angry, and kicked the person beside me away. Gasping when I finally saw what was happening. Julian was on one knee with a ring on his hand. I was very captivated with the way the ring glowed. It was so beautiful, and tears filled my eyes immediately. What sort of proposal was this? Julian smiled. "I'm sorry for proposing this way. I just tried to scare you a little bit but I guessed that didn't work. This is me on one knee, babe."I chuckled, wiping my tears. There were people around like Max, Kim and others we got to know here. Some decorations has also been done in like fifteen minutes. The sight in front of me was very beautiful, and I than
Julian's povTen years later. The children had caused trouble again, because I didn't know why the hell I was called from my office just to get an invite from their school because of their bad deeds. I was fuming in anger when their principal was talking."Mr Black, this form of behavior is not acceptable in our school. Your son, Aiden was caught having sex with a girl in the Janitor's office while the girl, diamond almost killed a guy this morning. All in the same day! I will advise you to talk to them during this one month suspension I'm giving them," The principal said with all seriousness in her voice. I exchanged glances with them, but they only looked away in guilt. They had grown so much just to become rascals. They were just seventeen years old for goodness sake, yet they gave me headache every day. I loved them better when they were younger. How did they even become this way? Was it the money and riches that got into their head? "I'm so sorry, principal for everything th
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
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
Third person's povEveryone was dressed in black, the air tense and tears could be heard in every angle. Ava held Diamond tight to her chest. Diamond's heart was shattered into a million pieces. She just lost the man she had wanted to be with for a long time. Her father died right in front of her, and there was nothing she could do about it. Julian and his children were as well present at the burial ceremony. All that was on his mind was how Alex just died like that. The almighty Alex, the man who was feared by many. It made him realize that anyone could die at anytime, and life was just a gamble. Things could change in just a twinkle of an eye. He promised to do better with his life, create memories and make a good impact. The only thing that was on Ava's mind was the new responsibilities for Julian, and the burden that would come with it. She wasn't ready for all of that, but there was nothing she could do. The doctor recorded his voice when he almost died. Alex said he wanted
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,
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
