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? Now, go shower like
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 povI 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 and thinking of ways to calm my raging desire."Thank goodness," I muttered under my breath aft
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
Ava's povMy heart skipped a beat when Julian mentioned the kids. "Julian, what's wrong with them?" I asked, keeping my voice low to avoid attracting more attention. "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 I walked home from the store, just a few blocks away, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Julian had been distant lately, and i had been trying to brush it off as stress from work. But the silence between us had grown thicker. I pushed open the door, calling out ''Hey, I'm home!" but the response was not what I expected."Harder baby!" a loud scream echoed from upstairs and I frowned. I wondered who was having sex in my house at this hour. I approached the direction where the sound was coming from. "I'm about to cum, daddy," a female voice said, I placed my ear against the door to hear clearly. "Cum for daddy," my husband commanded and I pushed the door open. My world came crashing down around me. I stood frozen in the doorway, my eyes fixed on the scene before me.My husband, Julian and a woman, lay naked in our bed, wrapped in each other's arms. The pain and betrayal cut deep."Julian!" I yelled in a shaky voice and his mistress smirked. Julia
