Ava's pov

Alex 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

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

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.

    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.

"Get me the fucking car keys, Max! Ava just fainted, and I need to take her to the hospital."Max rushed towards me with wide eyes. I carried Ava with all my strength, and rushed to the car. "Should I go with you, boss?" Max asked worriedly. I shook my head. "You don't have to worry, Max. Stay at home and go pick the kids up when it's six pm. Be careful, Julian is out there and nothing must happen to my kids.""Alright boss," he nodded in understanding, and I drove off. It was more like I was going crazy. Different thoughts about Julian filled my mind. How the hell was he related to Daniel's mom?Could this be a setup or is he the true father of Daniel? Then, why did Ava faint? She hasn't been stressing herself too much, and I help her with the kids in my free time. When I got to the hospital,

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.

"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.

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

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

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.

"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 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.
