Ava's pov

As 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

    Alex's povI paced around the lounge, a drink in one hand and a cigarette in another. My mind racing with thoughts of how to get Ava and Julian. I swear, I would make them suffer this time. 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

    Ava's povAs I slowly opened my eyes, a gentle groan escaped my lips. I felt strong hands wrapped around me, and my gaze fell upon Julian's serene face beside me. My heart fluttered as I took in his peaceful expression, making him look almost child-like."You can take a picture, you know," Julian teased, his eyes still closed. My cheek flushed with embarrassment as I wondered how he knew I was staring. "Good morning darling," he whispered, opening his eyes which sparkled with affection. "Good morning," I muttered. Julian's gentle touch on my cheek sent shivers down my spine. "Did you sleep well?" He asked. "Yes, I slept well, even though I don't remember how I got here," I replied."I brought you here, and I hope you don't hate me anymore," Julian whispered. "I don't know," I said. "I just want you to know that I really love you and the kids, Ava. I will do my best to make you happy," He assured me. I didn't respond, unsure of what to say. "I have to go check on the kids," I sa

"I don't know, I just got a random call and .. Listen, we have to go home," Julian replied, his brow furrowed. He left money on the table for the uneaten breakfast. As we drove back home, my mind raced with the worst case scenarios. "I hope they are okay. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to them," I muttered, my voice trembling.Julian placed a reassuring hand on my lap, his touch warm and comforting. "Everything will be fine, just calm down," he said firmly, but I detected a hint of nervousness beneath his calm demeanor.As we approached the house, my heart racing, everything seemed in order. Julian pulled the car to a halt, and I opened the door, my palms growing sweaty."Here, in case anything goes wrong," Julian said, handing me a gun. I grasped it tightly, the familiar weight providing a sense of security

    Alex's povI signaled my men to carry Julian, Ava and the kids into the car, a rush of adrenaline coursed through my veins. Julian had been clever enough to discover my presence, but Max had executed the kidnap flawlessly. "Carry them into the plane! Hurry!" I barked at my men, my impatience growing. We had used a sleep inducing powder on them, but I was uncertain how long it would last. After loading everyone onto the plane, I ordered the rest of the my men to go back to Mexico via commercial airline. "Max, tie Julian's hands. We don't know when they will wake up and he may start a fight," I instructed."Okay boss," Max replied and secured Julian's hands. I took a sip of wine, grazing at Ava's serene face. My heart swelled with pride as I looked at Diamond, my child. I wouldn't let them go this time. Ava would remain my wife and she would take my orders. I will make her pay for running away and she would watch Julian die slowly. Closing my eyes, I played out the scene of torturi

    Ava's povAs Diamond's ear piercing scream echoed through the room, my heart skipped a beat. I rushed towards the door, desperation clawing my chest. My mind raced with a lot of thoughts with the possibility of what could be wrong. I tried to open the door, banging it furiously.Panic set in, and I pounded on the door, my fists throbbing. "Somebody open the door!" I yelled, my voice hoarse. Aiden and Diamond's wails grew louder. Tears streamed down my face. I needed to know what was wrong with my babies. Was Alex hurting them? Alot of impossible thoughts ran through my mind. I knew Alex, he promised to hurt us and I was scared. "Max! Maria! Come open the damn door!" I yelled again, my throat straining and hurting. I got no response so I began to search Alex's room for a key or something to break the door. After some minutes, the door opened and Alex walked in. "What the hell is going on? Why are the kids crying?" I demanded, wiping the tears from my face. "When I bring them in, y

    Ava's povSome days laterI stared at Alex who slept peacefully beside me. His arms wrapped around my waist and I felt a wave of disgust washed over me. The last few days had been hell on earth for me. Alex had been abusive sexually and verbally. He locked me in the room all the time and only allowed the kids to stay there with me.I haven't stepped outside, he didn't let me see Max or Maria. I hadn't been able to confirm if Julian was really dead. Trying every possible best to escape, but every plan of mine had been abortive. Alex had me wrapped around his fingers and under his mercy. I removed his hand from my waist and tiptoed to the bathroom. Splashing water on my face and staring at my reflection in the mirror, tears stung my eyes. My body was filled with red marks from Alex's constant biting during sex. I felt dirty and used. I needed to do something to leave. I couldn't take it anymore. My mind filled with thoughts of how i was going to escape even though it seemed almost i

    Julian's povAlex walked in, my blurry vision struggled to focus on him. I felt life slipping out of me slowly."Hello Julian," Alex said in a cocky voice. From where I sat on the bed, I spat out blood into a container beside me. My mouth bruised and bitter. My throat hurts anytime I try to talk. "What is it this time?" I asked, my voice shaky."I came to see how you are doing. And you are doing good," he replied with a smirk on his face. Rage ignited within me. I wanted to lunge at him, beat him to pulp. He was a monster, cruel and merciless."Bastard," I muttered. Alex laughed, the sound of it made me more pissed. "I will see you later. Be a good boy," he said, walking out of the room. The familiar sound of the keys locking the door made me sigh. Everything felt like a set up. We were all leaving the house that day when we blacked out. I woke up tied to a chair. That's was when I realized everything was a plan, Alex had set me up with Gray. I had no idea where Lucas was but I

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.

    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

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

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

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.

    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.
