Tangled in vengeance and desire Spending time together
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Baking up feelings
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Longing
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Revenge
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Who do I want?
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Knocked out
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Kidnap
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Captives
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

Tangled in vengeance and desire Kim
Kim's povMy hands trembled as I stared at Julian, whose head was rested on my laps. His rugged features, once commanding and powerful, now seemed vulnerable. 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.

Tangled in vengeance and desire Daniel
Alex's povI drove back home with a smile on my face. My plan worked, my doctor gave me a drug which I put in Ava's drink . 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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Apart
Ava's pov"What the hell is happening here?" I demanded when I saw Julian on the floor with Kim crying beside him. My heart raced at the thought of what could be wrong. 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. There will be questioning in the hospital and I could get arrested," She replied. Jessica and
Tangled in vengeance and desire Full time nanny
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Kidnap
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,
Tangled in vengeance and desire Disappointed
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
Tangled in vengeance and desire Her boss
Julian's povKim's voice trembled as she spoke. "Julian, you don't have to leave. Gabriel is a man so he is just jealous. He left me for weeks, and you were here to protect us. 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,"

Alex's povI groaned as Ava kissed me passionately in the room. She held me tightly, not wanting to let me go as she moaned. 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. He has escaped but I have his location with

Ava's povThe moment Alex mentioned he was a mafia leader, fear gripped me. I sprang up from where I sat, my heary racing. 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. He nodded, kissing my hand this time. His gentle gestures calmed me."Tell me what you want, Ava. I want to make you happy, I want to bring you out of the life you l
