Ava's povI glared at the guy, my mind racing with thoughts. "Julian sent you here? Why? What for?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady."He sent me because of Alex, not because of you," he replied.I was scared. Did Julian send him to harm me or my child? I remembered him asking if I had a child. He would be furious if he discovered Aiden was his. "Max, stay with him and gather more information," I instructed.As Max nodded, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my baby alone in the house. I wondered how many men Julian had sent and where the rest of them were."Papa, come here," I said to Aiden, he climbed onto my laps, and I held him tightly. "Let's watch my favorite movie," he said. I turned on the television, the sound of PJ Masks filling the background. Max walked inside, and i raised a curious brow. He nodded. "Maria! Please come take Aiden upstairs!" I yelled loudly. Maria rushed in, carrying Aiden who was half asleep on my l
Julian's povI slowly opened my eyes, a sharp pain piercing through my head. A groan escaped my lips as I touched my head, trying to remember what happened."Boss! Thank goodness, he is awake!" Lucas exclaimed, his voice filled with relief. I managed to utter his name, "Lucas.." my eyes locked on to his, and he gave me a pitiful look."Boss, how do you feel?" He asked.I didn't answer. Memories came flooding back, and I remembered everything. Alex, Sophia, and the shocking revelation. My eyes darkened in anger as I grabbed Lucas by the collar. "Where is Diamond?" I yelled, ignoring the sharp pain in my head. Lucas's eyes widened in fear. "He took her away, boss," he stammered. I pushed him to the floor and stood up, my chest tightening in pain. Tears burned my eyes as I thought of Diamond.She may not be my biological child, but I had raised her as my own. It was Alex's plan all along to ruin me. He took Ava away from me, and now he took Diamond. I didn't care if I wasn't her fat
Ava's povMy heart thumped heavily in my chest as Julian drove us to an unknown destination. I was supposed to be at Aiden's school meeting but now I was a captive. Aiden, sensing my unease, clung to my hand. I had no weapon on me, and even if I did, I couldn't escape from Julian with two kids. "Mommy, why aren't we going to school anymore?" Aiden asked, his face scrunched up in worry. I forced a smile, trying to reassure him. "We will go later, okay?" But he didn't seem satisfied and his eyes lingered on me with concern. Diamond rested her head on my laps, and I stroked her hair, trying to distract myself.The car pulled into a halt, and the door opened. I stepped out of the car, facing Julian."Julian," I said his name in a trembling voice, but he ignored me, rolling his eyes. There was a plane in front of us, I knew there was no escaping this time. Diamond ran to meet her father and, they shared a tender moments. Aiden held my hand when he was out of the car, his eyes scanning
Ava's povHurt flashed in Julian's eyes my words, and I felt a sense of satisfaction. "What from Alex in exchange of our freedom?" I asked. "I will release you when i want to. I want nothing from that bastard but my son, Ava," Julian replied. "Aiden is not your son just like Diamond is not Alex's. You are just a sperm donor," I snapped. "Shut up!" He yelled at me angrily. I shut my mouth seeing he was getting mad. My eyes closed voluntarily and my mind wandered around.Would Alex find out? Would Julian want to take Aiden away from me? What would we be doing in the house? "Let me show you to your room. I told Lucas to buy clothes for you and the kids," Julian said. I followed him behind upstairs, he stopped in front of a room pushing it open. "Aiden wil share the room with you," he informed me, then he walked away. Entering into the room, I saw my son sleeping peacefully on the bed. I walked towards the bed and layed on it. Kissing Aiden's forehead, and pulling him closer to me.
Alex's povI watched with a smile as the car drove out of the compound, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Finally, I had the house to myself. "Max and Maria!" I yelled. They hurried towards me, their eyes on the floor. "You can take the day off until your boss returns with the kids," I said, dismissing them."Okay boss," they replied and left. Few minutes later, they appeared well dressed. I noticed Max holding Maria's hand in a protectively, but I choose to ignore it. "We will leave now, boss," Max said, and I waved them off. After they left the house, i made some calls, inviting some girls over to the house. As I waited for them, I set the mood with music and candles.I wore only my briefs, feeling carefree and ready to have a good time. "Hello daddy," one of the girls, Vikky said, walking into the room with a seductive smile. My mouth curved into a smile as i pulled her close to me."Hey papi," the other girl, Liya chimed in, joining us. I hugged them both."How are you
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
