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
Alex's povMy heart skipped a beat when Ava fainted. What the fuck just happened, we were just having a simple conversation here. Grabbing her arm, I yelled for Max to get me the car keys. "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,
Julian's pov"So, I just read it that Alex is looking for a nanny online on his page," Kim said as she joined me and her sister in the living room. "A nanny? What happened to Ava?" Mirabel raised a curious brow. "I have no idea, sis. I can't even bring myself to call her because of what happened the last time. She knew Daniel was with her yet she lied about it," Kim muttered, rolling her eyes in disgust. I sighed, running my hands in my hair. "This is our only chance to get a revenge on Alex. The nanny issue is the only way out.""What do we do now, babe? We need to get a revenge on Alex, and make him suffer for everything he has done to us. We can't give him another chance to come hurt us again," Kim said with worry in her voice and face. I was quiet because i didn't even know what to do. My mind was just blank due to anger, and fury. Thinking about Ava made me very sad and heartbroken. To think, I went through all that pain and trauma because of her in Alex's hands yet she left
Ava's povEver since Alex told me I was pregnant, I didn't even know how to feel. Yes, I was happy but I was scared at the same time. I was scared of what the future holds for me and my unborn child. What if everything takes another turn, and Alex abandoned me with the baby. Where would I start from? I needed to do something about that fast, I needed a job or some amount of money in my account that would give assurance that my unborn child's future is safe in my hands. Alex was with the kids so I was alone in the room. Then, I thought about Julian and I wondered how he would feel if he knows about my pregnancy. Would he be disappointed or sad? Damn, to think I was actually falling in love with him. How did Alex even come into this picture? Am I in love with Alex or this was just some charade?A lot of thoughts filled my mind which made me not to sleep. I placed my hand on my belly, and smiled again. I could scream loudly for the whole world to hear, few months to now, I will be ho
Alex's povAva was fuming in anger which made my heart ache, I thought she would be happy to have someone who will assist her with things."Babe, let me see you privately. Mirabel, please make yourself feel at home," I said with a forced smile. She followed me to the guest room with a frown on her face. I never knew it would make her so angry, i know Ava to be a very gentle and peaceful person. "Why are you not happy that she is here? I brought her here to help you with the kids. You don't have to be angry about this, babe," i said softly.Ava sighed, running her hands in her hair. "I'm not mad about you bringing her into our room, Alex. The annoying thing is you didn't tell me before you decided to bring her in.""I'm sorry, baby. I don't mean to offend you in any way. Please, accept my apologies," I apologized sincerely. She smiled, but I knew it was a fake one. "Let's go and see her. Be nice to her this time, Ava. I'm doing this because of you and the kids.""It's alright, babe.
Julian's povKim has been very quiet since we came back from that woman's house. I was very shock to my bones when I saw the dead bodies right in front of me. The scene still replayed in my head because it was very fresh. Kim cried in my arms for about thirty minutes before she finally calmed down.She promised and sweared to make sure Alex suffers for everything he had done. I promised to fight for her, and her sister was in his house helping us already. She called some of Dominic's men to come clean the house and bury the people that died. I had never seen Kim in such manner before, she was shaking like something would happen to her too.I shook my head, trying to erase the feelings from my mind as I grabbed a beer in the fridge. "This is your drink, and you need to stop thinking about this issue."Kim collected the drink from me, with a sigh escaping her lips. "I can't just stop thinking about it, Julian. This thing is messing with my mental health. Who knows where Gabriel is? I
Ava's povI woke up alone on the bed with a letter from Alex saying he went for an urgent business meeting, and he will see me later. The thought of him brought a smile to my face. He has been so caring, and supportive which i really appreciate. The only thing that bothered me was the new nanny he brought home. I had observed something about Alex anytime he sees her. It was always like all his body system changes, and the only thing he would like to do was to devour her. Could it be that Alex liked her, or something was between them? I needed some kind of answers because I didn't feel safe with the fact that she was here. I debated on what to do which included telling her she has to leave this job, and I would pay her off. Her presence in the house just gave me a chill feeling I didn't like. Rushing into the bathroom to take my bath. After bathing, I wore black shorts and Alex's shirt which looked very big on me, but I liked it anyways. "Good morning ma'am," Mirabel greeted with
Third person's povEveryone was dressed in black, the air tense and tears could be heard in every angle. Ava held Diamond tight to her chest. Diamond's heart was shattered into a million pieces. She just lost the man she had wanted to be with for a long time. Her father died right in front of her, and there was nothing she could do about it. Julian and his children were as well present at the burial ceremony. All that was on his mind was how Alex just died like that. The almighty Alex, the man who was feared by many. It made him realize that anyone could die at anytime, and life was just a gamble. Things could change in just a twinkle of an eye. He promised to do better with his life, create memories and make a good impact. The only thing that was on Ava's mind was the new responsibilities for Julian, and the burden that would come with it. She wasn't ready for all of that, but there was nothing she could do. The doctor recorded his voice when he almost died. Alex said he wanted
Ava's povAiden, and his sister had gone to bed. I was left with my husband, the private time was really needed."Baby, can you believe that guy paid a hundred million dollars just like that?" Julian said, stroking my hair. My eyes widened in shock. "Just because you agreed to be the face of his brand. I told you babe, the fame and position you have is enough for you. You don't have to be a chairman. You are okay the way you are, all we need is more higher places."He smiled, a deep genuine smile. "I don't even want to be the chairman anymore, I feel so relieved and happy right now," he said.Sighing, we kissed briefly. "Thank you so much, love. Thank you so much for your support. And, I'm very proud to call you my husband. You remain the best forever.""I'm proud to call you my wife too. We should live and enjoy life with our children now. We are complete, and there's nothing we are looking for," He muttered in his sexy voice.I chuckled, sipping my drink. "You are right about that,
Alex's povHolding Diamond's hand, I felt my heart almost burst with happiness. I was taking her to a private lounge where we would have a heart to heart conversation. She was very quiet, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her mind. She looked just like me, with a touch of her mother's face. The only thing that made me worried was her outfit, it was screaming dark aura. She wore black from her head down to toes. She used to love pink and all this bright colors when she was a kid, I wondered what changed. "Let's sit here, I want to talk to you," I broke the silence, pointing to the couch. She nodded, sitting on it without protesting. I called the waiter to bring us a fruit wine without alcohol. We were both on our phones until the waiter brought the drink. "First of, I want to apologize for everything that has happened. I didn't want to leave you alone for all these years, but Julian made me go far away. I'm not putting the blame on him, but we were entangled in a
Julian's povFinally, everything has been resolved now. I bid Alex goodbye, and left for my house. I knew Ava would be so happy when I tell her everything has been sorted out. At least, we wouldn't live in fear anymore. Everyone would be free, a smile didn't leave my face all through my ride back home. Daisy welcomed me with a bright smile the moment I stepped outside my car. "Daddy, welcome back home," She said. I hugged her, handing the bag of gift I bought. "I bought you some chocolates, sweet and toys."She was very happy, and it was my joy to see my children happy. I met Diamond sitting in the living room with her boxes beside the door. "Welcome daddy," She muttered, avoiding my gaze. I sighed, walking to sit beside her. She had tears in her eyes, and my heart ached for her. I still loved her like my own, she was still my baby after all."I'm sorry dad. I know you are very angry at me for all the hurtful things i've said to you. I shouldn't have said all those things to you,
Alex's pov Jordan's eyes widened when I told her about my child that would soon become part of our small family. "I don't understand the reason why you will want back the child after so many years, Alex. This thing you are doing will destroy what we have, do you think the child wouldn't try to come in between us?" Jordan asked, raising a curious brow. I sat on the bed, removing my shirt. "Nothing can come between us, babe. I can't just stay here when I know fully well that I have a child somewhere. I want to be called a Father too," I replied, calmly. She had tears in her eyes suddenly. "You are doing all this because I failed to give you a child, Alex. All this is because I failed to be a good wife to you," she muttered, her voice shaky. Pulling her closer to me. "This is not about you, babe. We have both tried but nothing is coming forth that's why we want to go for surrogacy. Technology has made everything easier for us. I love you babe, and I don't ca
Ava's pov"You want to leave? How can you say you want to leave and go meet Alex?" I asked in disbelief. The first time she said it, I actually thought it was a joke. Diamond chuckled, shaking her head. "Why won't I want to leave? I'm tired of staying and you guys don't even want me here anymore. Let me just go, and meet my father."Julian and I exchanged glances. "Let her go meet her father, Ava. I don't want to fight anymore, and the girl wants her dad too."I was just in pure shock after Julian talked, and walked away like he didn't care. "Julian! Why are you doing this to us? You raised this girl since she was a child."He ignored me until he was out of sight. "Your husband doesn't care about me, I see no reason why you should be bothered about me," Diamond muttered, rolling her eyes. "What do you mean by he doesn't care about you? This man raised you since you were a little baby, Diamond. Why can't you appreciate him for once? All you do is make him sad and disrespect our famil
Julian's povI crossed my legs over each other, sipping my wine. Aiden just watched me with tired eyes, and I chuckled. "Daddy, I'm very tired. I need to sleep, because I'm stressed. You have to forgive me for what have done," He pleaded. Laughing, I passed him a cup of wine. It has alcohol but it was not too much and he has taken something worse than that. Aiden shook his head. "I don't want to drink, dad."I pushed the drink into his hands, and he looked away in guilt. "I know you want to drink, there's no need to pretend."He took a sip, and sighed. "I think you understand me better, dad. I promise not to repeat the same mistake again."I tapped his lap. "It's okay, Aiden. Forget about what you have done and let us move on. I have a lot of things on my mind than to think about that."His face turned calm. "Is it about the chairman position? You are the rightful person to the position, and I see no reason why the chairman shouldn't give it to you.""I think he has other plans bec
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
