Alex's pov My heart skipped a beat, and began to race when Ava questioned me about Jessica. I would fucking kill Max for doing this to me. The look in her eyes showed how mad she was.Ava got a message on a phone, and she checked it. "Alex! What the fuck is this?" She yelled at me loudly. I sighed, running my hands in my hair feeling frustrated. "What is it again, babe? I told you i didn't kill her and her daughter. It was Max."She stood up, and handed her phone to me. I gasped in shock at the sight of the image in front of me. How could Mirabel do this to me? How did she even? My goodness!"Babe, it's not what you think. Where did you get this picture from?" I asked, feigning innocent. "I should be asking you that question, Alex. This picture looks recent because my things are already in your room. What the fuck is happening? Is this the definition of your love for me?" Ava demanded in a shaky voice, and teary eyes. I grabbed her, making her look into my eyes but she pulled away
Ava's povAll my body system just changed since yesterday. Alex disappointed me, and broke my heart into a million pieces. I still couldn't wrap my head around what happened yesterday.I really missed the kids yesterday night. They knocked on the door, but I couldn't bring myself to answer them. So, that was why I took my time to prepare breakfast for them this morning."Good morning mommy. How are you feeling now?" Aiden asked, his voice filled with worry. "Yes mommy. We knocked on the door yesterday, but you didn't answer. Daddy said it's because you are pregnant. We couldn't sleep well last night just because we didn't see you," Diamond added, holding my hand.I pulled my hand softly, and touched her head. "I'm sorry for not replying you, my love. I was very tired like daddy said. I'm here now and I made pancakes for you guys."They both smiled, pancakes was their favorite so I made it just to put a smile on their face again. "Thank you, we love you so much," Aiden blew a kiss. I
Julian's povSeeing Ava again made my heart ache, she looked so sad like she needed some kind of help. The conversation I had with her was cool, but I didn't feel anything for her like I used too. I didn't plan on seeing her, I came to get some stuffs for me and Kim. I saw her just sitting alone drinking wine by herself, so I had to stop by because of the plans we all had. As I drove back home, all I could think of was Ava. How did she end up in that situation with Alex? Why the fuck did she get pregnant for him? Why couldn't she wait for me to be back?After everything I had done for her, after everything we had been through together she still went after him. It was fucking crazy, and I couldn't comprehend how. "Babe, welcome back. How are you doing?" Kim welcomed me with a big smile, and hug when I entered the house. "Good, thank you. I bought some food for us, call your sister downstairs. We have to talk about something," I replied. "Is everything okay, Julian? You sound dull,
Alex's povThe moment Ava left the house, I called Max to find Mirabel for me. I grabbed the pack of cigarettes I haven't touched for a long time. Taking one drag, I felt the feeling in my head. It gave me this refreshing feeling that I really needed, and I loved it. Two hours later, I began to hear noise in my compound, and I knew Max was here with her. They entered into the house, and I sat on the couch with my legs crossed. Max pushed Mirabel on the floor aggressively. The way she yelled for help brought a smile to my face. "You can go, Max. I will take care of her, and call you for the body later. Make sure all the gates are locked, and do not let Ava in until I tell you to do so," I ordered. He gave me a bow, and left the living room. "What have I done to you? Why did you ask your body guard to bundle me here? I'm not on duty today," Mirabel asked with a bit of an attitude. I smirked, pulling her up. "You know what you did, Mirabel. Watch the way you talk to me, you bitch,"
Ava's pov"Where is our nanny? It's been days since we saw her. Is she still working for us, or she has been sacked by my dad?" Aiden asked during dinner. I sighed, feeling a dull ache in my chest. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Mirabel was murdered today. Who could have done that to that innocent soul?"My teacher mentioned someone who was killed, and dumped in the streets. I don't know who the person is, but I was curious. Did you see the news, mommy?" Diamond said, her face filled with worry and concern. I was quiet with my fork in mid air. "The person your teacher was talking about is Mirabel. I don't know how it happened. I was watching the news, and I saw it too," I finally summoned courage to reply. They both gasped in shock. "How did that even happen? She was here some days ago. Who could have killed her?" Aiden muttered with tears in his eyes. I had to pull them closer. "Things happen, guys. Life isn't that smooth for everyone, I want you guys to forge
Julian's pov"Don't tell me to calm down, Julian. You fucking caused my sister's death, and you tell me not to react? What the fuck is wrong with you, and why are you so calm about this situation? My sister is fucking dead!" Kim yelled at me loudly with tears in her eyes. I was quiet, my arms were just folded over my chest. All what she was saying just made me so angry. "What do you mean by I killed your sister? Where the hell is all that rubbish talk coming from?" I demanded. Kim's eyes widened, and she pointed a finger to my chest. "Yes, you killed my sister. I told you repeatedly to go after Alex, but you refused. If you had listened to me, Mirabel would still be alive."My heart pounded louder in my chest. Her words just made me more irritated. "Do you think it's easy to go after Alex? I'm just protecting you, and myself. I don't want to waste my life just because we want to get a revenge!" I yelled. She rolled her eyes. "You are just a fucking weakling. You just don't know how
Ava's povTalking with Julian again brought a smile on my face, and it made my heart beat faster. The way he smiled, the way he talked and the smirk on his face. Everything about him just made me happy, and excited. The only thing that dragged my attention to the real conversation was when we talked about feelings. I was shocked to the bones when he confessed how he felt for me, and our past. It made me wonder if there was more to what was between us. The only thing that happened was the date, so the past he was talking about was strange to me. "What do you mean by our past? We only met once in Jessica's house, I don't understand you," I said, raising a curious brow. The feelings he talked about wasn't very important than the past he mentioned. He still made my heart flutter though. I never knew he would still have his eyes on me after everything that happened. "Yes, we have a past. Do you really know who Alex is? Like, do you know the real man you are dating?" Julian asked inste
Alex's pov"You guys should be good, and listen to your teacher," I said to the kids when I dropped them off at school. "Okay daddy, we promise," they said, running off to class. I smiled, shaking my head as I drove out of the school compound. I loved this children so much, they owned my heart and they are my future. When I arrived at my office, the car was opened for me by one of my guards. Another collected by purse, and they all bowed when I stepped out of the car. The way they gave me respect made me feel so good. I loved being in control, the guards were up to hundred, and they were all dressed in black suits. Grabbing a microphone, I addressed them concerning the affairs of our job. They aired their opinions about the people bothering them, and I gave out orders on what to do. "Go get the new guns that arrived yesterday," I whispered to Max. He nodded, and went to my car. He returned with a traveling box full of guns. Holding one, I called out one of the guys who messed up
Alex's pov "We have to go, babe. I need to be at the event, and you have to accompany me too," Jordan, my wife insisted. I sighed, running my hands in my hair. Why did the event have to take place in America? I wasn't ready to face my past again. "Baby, I know you have a lot of memories there, but we need to be there. 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. I will go pack our things now."I watched her run upstairs, shaking my head. She was always excited going to the parties, and events. I loved that about my wife, she was very energetic. We got married four years ago after a lot of up and downs. I relocated to London after the issue with her brother, and I built a life for myself here. I
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. He was telling me about how we had something together when we were drunk one night, but I didn't even remember anything. Our marriage was filled with a lot of bliss and happiness. We got married two months after he pr
Julian's povTen years later. The children had caused trouble again, because I didn't know why the hell I was called from my office just to get an invite from their school because of their bad deeds. I was fuming in anger when their principal was talking."Mr Black, this form of behavior is not acceptable in our school. Your son, Aiden was caught having sex with a girl in the Janitor's office while the girl, diamond almost killed a guy this morning. All in the same day! I will advise you to talk to them during this one month suspension I'm giving them," The principal said with all seriousness in her voice. I exchanged glances with them, but they only looked away in guilt. They had grown so much just to become rascals. They were just seventeen years old for goodness sake, yet they gave me headache every day. I loved them better when they were younger. How did they even become this way? Was it the money and riches that got into their head? "I'm so sorry, principal for everything th
Ava's povI got no response still, just sounds of people moving around the house. I almost peed on myself from where I stood. It was so crazy, because they didn't even say a word. "Who is here? I need to know what the fuck is going on in my house?" I demanded, taking a deep breath. Nothing again, only the sound of things moving. I got very angry, and kicked the person beside me away. Gasping when I finally saw what was happening. Julian was on one knee with a ring on his hand. I was very captivated with the way the ring glowed. It was so beautiful, and tears filled my eyes immediately. What sort of proposal was this? Julian smiled. "I'm sorry for proposing this way. I just tried to scare you a little bit but I guessed that didn't work. This is me on one knee, babe."I chuckled, wiping my tears. There were people around like Max, Kim and others we got to know here. Some decorations has also been done in like fifteen minutes. The sight in front of me was very beautiful, and I than
Ava's povOur new place was very nice, and I loved the fact that we had finally left Mexico. It had a lot of memories that I actually didn't want to remember again. America was my home now. A new place with my man, and children. I was helping the kids arrange their things when Daniel rushed into the room. He exchanged hugs with the kids, and they were so happy to see each other. That was when I realized his mother was here. He hugged me too. I was happy to see him as well. I left the kids to do whatever they wanted, and proceeded downstairs to welcome Kim. I knew Julian wasn't happy to have her here, but I was the one that invited her. We had this plan between us, because I wanted to know if Julian truly loved me. Kim would seduce him, and we wanted to know if he would want to continue any form of relationship with her. As I alighted from downstairs, they were already having a heated conversation. Julian was so carry away, and he didn't even know I was there. "Ava, my darling fr
Julian's pov"You guys should go to bed, and stop disturbing your mother," I half yelled at the kids who played on our bed. They were just too troublesome, and Ava was getting tired. "But, we want to play with you. This is our last night in Mexico, dad. Let's have fun!" Aiden yelled with excitement. "We have had enough fun already. Mom is tired, and she needs to rest. Do you guys want to hurt your younger sibling?" I asked, trying to guilt strip them. Diamond grabbed Aiden's hand. "We have to go to bed. Let's allow mom to rest okay," she whispered into his ear. Aiden nodded reluctantly, and they got down. "We can have more fun tomorrow, guys. I just need to rest, and I love you so much too."Their mouth curved into a smile now. "We love you too, mom and dad. You guys should sleep well," they both said, and left the room. I sighed while Ava chuckled. "Raising two kids is not easy. Those two are just too troublesome," She said, shaking her head. I nodded in agreement,and I laid be
Alex's povThey finally left, and I sighed in relief. I had finally surrendered everything to them. There was no point in fighting anymore. I should be grateful that they didn't even kill me. I would go after my kids later. My health was all that mattered to me at this point. I was scared of dying, I still wanted to live my life. Jordan walked towards me, and I smiled. "They finally left, huh? How are you doing now?" She asked, raising a curious brow. I just smiled sadly, tapping the couch for her to sit. Jordan sat beside me, staring straight into my eyes."I'm good, Jordan. I just don't have any choice, but to surrender to this people. I need to take care of myself first, and I'm tired of living this life," I replied, playing with my fingers. She placed her hand on my lap, smiling. "Your decision is right, Alex. You need to take a break from everything. That's the right thing to do. I'm proud of your decision."I placed my hand on hers, feeling my heart filled with so much joy.
Ava's povWe finally finished eating dinner, and I told the kids to go watch movie in the cinema. They were really happy to go watch their favorite cartoon, and not going to bed soon. "Why did you tell them to go watch movie, babe?" Julian asked, raising a curious brow."To keep them occupied before Max gets here. I'm going with you to see Alex," I replied with a shrug. His eyes widened, and he pulled me back. "What do you mean by you are going with me to see Alex? Why do you want to see him?" "I just want to go with you, Julian, just let me go with you," I pleaded. He nodded reluctantly, and there was silence. That was when I thought about it. Why did I really want to go see Alex with him? I had no idea why, but I wanted to go. I had call Max to come stay with the kids, and he has arrived.We said our goodbyes to them, and left to see Alex. My heart kept pounding in my chest on our way there. I didn't know what was next for Alex or us. I was very sure that Julian didn't know ei
Julian's pov"Max, go pick the kids from school and take them to the park. I need to take Ava to the hospital for checkup, and I don't want them to be in the house alone," I said, sipping my drink. He nodded, and I smiled. He worked for me now, I paid him one million five hundred thousand dollars. I now control all the affairs of Mafia in America and Mexico. The only thing I was trying to do was to stop the killings happening. A criminal can be tortured, or stripped off his properties but no body must be killed. That policy has been going on in the Mafia world in both countries. Everything has also been going smoothly. I finally got to know where Alex was, and I knew he was unconscious too. The guy turned out to be my long distance cousin, and he agreed to hand Alex to me after a lot of conversations. "I sent fifty thousand dollars into your account for the kids and yourself too. Be careful, Max. We have enemies out there," I warned. "That's for sure, boss. The kids are safe wit
