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. I had been searching for the perfect plan to crawl back into his life, and claim him as mine alone. He used to be the mafia leader in America, and I was surprised when Alex took over his position. I started making my findings, and research. I got to know through his house help that Alex held him hostage. Thank goodness, Ga
Ava's povAlex had a shocked expression on his face. "Julian? What the fuck do you mean by Julian?" He demanded loudly. My heart skipped a beat, his reaction to julian's name gave me chill feelings. Did he know Julian from anywhere?"Yes, Julian. Do you know any Julian because I don't seem to understand you anymore?" I said, challenging him with my eyebrows. He sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "I don't know any Julian. I'm just surprised that Max shot someone without telling me, that's all.""Listen Alex, I don't feel safe here with you. Max wouldn't have shot him if you guys don't use your gun on people. That guy almost died, tsk I don't even know if he is still alive. It's not fair to do that to people," I said, fear evident in my voice. He walked towards me, holding my hands and looked straight into my eyes. "You are safe with me, Ava. I will never hurt you, trust me."I felt calm a little bit. "But, what about Julian and Daniel? You should return Daniel back to his mother and
Alex's povI almost screamed when I heard Julian was still alive. I wondered if he was really the Julian but no doubts I knew he was the one. My mind was troubled as I climbed the stairs. It was funny how Max didn't tell me that someone was shot and the person was Julian.Grabbing a drink when I got into my office, I poured into a glass cup while I called Max. "Hello boss," he answered immediately. "Where the fuck are you, Max?" I demanded angrily. Max sighed. "I'm in the compound with the guard at the gate. Is there any problem?""Meet me in my office in the next twenty minutes," I ordered, ending the call. I threw my phone on my bed, groaning loudly. All I could think of was what Ava said. Julian was alive, and he has met Ava. What if they both planned this? I mean for Ava to be here. What if they want to kill me too?The door opened, and it pulled me out of my thoughts. "You sent for me, boss," Max said with a slight bow. "Have your seat, Max," I pointed to the chair in front
Kim's pov"Who called you?" Mirabel, my sister asked, raising a curious brow after I dropped my phone. "It's Ava, a lady that lives with Gabriel 's wife. She and Julian are in some kind of relationship I don't understand," I replied with a shrug. "Do you think they know each other before? Julian lost his memory right?" She asked further. I nodded. "I don't know anything about that. All I know is she is the reason why Julian doesn't want to give me his heart.""That's crazy, why is she calling you and how did she get your number?"Sighing, I took a sip from the orange juice on the table. "Too many questions, Mirabel. Just let me think please. I'm so worried about Daniel.""I'm sorry for disturbing you. Kain will be back soon, and maybe we will finally have an answer," She muttered, giving me a sad smile which I returned. "Thank you, I will talk to you tomorrow. I need to go to bed, and check up on Julian," I informed her. "Okay, make sure you sleep well," She blew a kiss which I c
Julian's povEverywhere was dark and quiet. I had been here for days, and I badly want to leave. "Somebody let me out of here!" I screamed loudly. The echo of my voice was the only thing I got back. "Fuck, how do I leave this place? I just want to go back to my normal life for goodness sake," I complained. Sitting on the floor, I realized I hadn't eaten for days yet I wasn't hungry. Why was that happening? Why haven't I seen anyone here too?Closing my eyes, I allowed sleep to consume me. After thirty minutes into my sleep, I began to have dreams about what happened to me. All flashbacks about everything that happened. Alex shot both me and Ava, damn! Is she still alive? What about the kids? Are they still alive too? My heart thumped heavily in my chest that I quickly opened my eyes. "I'm here to kill you, Julian. Do you think I will let you go just like that?" Alex asked, grabbing my neck. "Let me go, Alex! Don't fucking touch me!" I yelled as I tried to push his hands off me, b
Ava's pov"Aunt Ava, I need milk for the pancakes not fruit juice," Daniel complained, rolling his eyes.I sighed, Daniel has been acting strange lately. Most of the time, he yells at me and refuses to play with Aiden. "You should talk to Aunt Ava in a nice way, Daniel. Don't talk to elderly people like that," Aiden corrected with a soft smile. Diamond nodded. "Yes, you need to respect her. She is more like our mom, and I don't like the way you talk to her.""She is not my own mother! My mom will know what I drink with my pancakes. I don't like it here, let me go home!" Daniel yelled. "Enought little boy! Watch the way you talk else I will punish you," Alex warned, his voice stern and scary. I held his hand under the table as we exchanged gazes. "I'm sorry, I just miss my mom. I want to go back home," Daniel broke down into tears.Everywhere became quiet and tense. I wasn't even angry at the little boy. He really missed his mother, and he has every right too. I rubbed Daniel's sh
Alex's povI stood behind Ava with my arms crossed over my chest as I listened to her conversation with Jessica. The only thing I heard that made me happy was the information I heard about Gabriel. "Babe, is that Gabriel?" I asked Ava when she dropped the call. Her eyes widened in shock, and she shook her head. "It's not Gabriel, babe. I don't even have Gabriel's number, I was just having a conversation with Jessica," Ava replied, chuckling nervously. I sighed, moving closer to her. "You don't have to lie to me, babe. I overheard all your conversation with Jessica.""Ugh, this is what I was trying to avoid. Now, that you heard our conversation. What are you going to do?" She raised a curious brow. "You don't have to worry about that. Time is far spent, I have to take the kids to school. Prepare Daniel so we can return him to his mother," I replied. Ava nodded reluctantly, and I kissed her forehead. "Dad! We are ready to go!" Aiden's voice made me pull away from her. The kids loo
Julian's povI became weak all of a sudden when I heard Ava was in a relationship with someone else. It was something I didn't even expect. That explained why she wasn't even with me. I expected her to be the first person I see when I wake up but it was the opposite. "Are you really sure about this information, Kim? This woman and me went through a lot together so I don't expect her to do all this to me," I muttered weakly. Kim nodded, and the look in her eyes showed that she was really sure. "I'm very sure, Julian. This woman doesn't love you, I was the only one who was there for you."I sighed, pulling Kim closer. "I'm sorry for everything. Alex took your son and I will help you get him back. I think i will be free from you after that.""Listen Julian, this is not only about Daniel. This is about us, you lived in my house for months and we fell deeply in love with each other. I really love you, and I want to be yours forever. I will help you fight Alex and I will always be by you
Ava's pov I was happy to know that Julian was finally back on his feet, but the look on his face made me uneasy. "Julian, what the hell is he doing with Daniel's mom? What the fuck is happening here?" Alex exclaimed, slamming his hand on the steering wheel. "Why are you panicking? What is with you and this Julian, guy? Why do you cringe at the mention of his name or the sight of him?" I asked curiously. Alex forced a smile, and shook his head. "There is nothing wrong. Let's just go home."I wasn't convinced, but I decided to let it go. "Are you really sure, Alex? You know you can talk to me about anything."He chuckled then lifted my hand up, placing a gentle kiss on it. "Everything is okay, baby. Let's get some burger on our way to my office."Office? Why did he change the conversation? "You are taking me to your office? That's new," I muttered. "I just want to show my beautiful woman off. You are a beauty goddess, and I want everyone to see that," he said with a smirk. My hear
