Ava's pov

My heart skipped a beat when Julian mentioned the kids. "Julian, what's wrong with them?" I asked, keeping my voice low to avoid attracting more attention.

"I don't know, I just got a random call and .. Listen, we have to go home," Julian replied, his brow furrowed. He left money on the table for the uneaten breakfast.

As we drove back home, my mind raced with the worst case scenarios. "I hope they are okay. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to them," I muttered, my voice trembling.

Julian placed a reassuring hand on my lap, his touch warm and comforting. "Everything will be fine, just calm down," he said firmly, but I detected a hint of nervousness beneath his calm demeanor.

As we approached the house, my heart racing, everything seemed in order. Julian pulled the car to a halt, and I opened the door, my palms growing sweaty.

"Here, in case anything goes wrong," Julian said, handing me a gun. I grasped it tightly, the familiar weight providing a sense of security

    Alex's povI signaled my men to carry Julian, Ava and the kids into the car, a rush of adrenaline coursed through my veins. Julian had been clever enough to discover my presence, but Max had executed the kidnap flawlessly. "Carry them into the plane! Hurry!" I barked at my men, my impatience growing. We had used a sleep inducing powder on them, but I was uncertain how long it would last. After loading everyone onto the plane, I ordered the rest of the my men to go back to Mexico via commercial airline. "Max, tie Julian's hands. We don't know when they will wake up and he may start a fight," I instructed."Okay boss," Max replied and secured Julian's hands. I took a sip of wine, grazing at Ava's serene face. My heart swelled with pride as I looked at Diamond, my child. I wouldn't let them go this time. Ava would remain my wife and she would take my orders. I will make her pay for running away and she would watch Julian die slowly. Closing my eyes, I played out the scene of torturi

My mind raced with a lot of thoughts with the possibility of what could be wrong. I tried to open the door, banging it furiously.Panic set in, and I pounded on the door, my fists throbbing. "Somebody open the door!" I yelled, my voice hoarse. Aiden and Diamond's wails grew louder. Tears streamed down my face. I needed to know what was wrong with my babies. Was Alex hurting them? Alot of impossible thoughts ran through my mind. I knew Alex, he promised to hurt us and I was scared. "Max! Maria! Come open the damn door!" I yelled again, my throat straining and hurting.

Why are the kids crying?" I demanded, wiping the tears from my face. "When I bring them in, y

    Ava's povSome days laterI stared at Alex who slept peacefully beside me. His arms wrapped around my waist and I felt a wave of disgust washed over me. The last few days had been hell on earth for me. Alex had been abusive sexually and verbally. He locked me in the room all the time and only allowed the kids to stay there with me.I haven't stepped outside, he didn't let me see Max or Maria. I hadn't been able to confirm if Julian was really dead. Trying every possible best to escape, but every plan of mine had been abortive. Alex had me wrapped around his fingers and under his mercy. I removed his hand from my waist and tiptoed to the bathroom. Splashing water on my face and staring at my reflection in the mirror, tears stung my eyes. My body was filled with red marks from Alex's constant biting during sex. I felt dirty and used. I needed to do something to leave. I couldn't take it anymore. My mind filled with thoughts of how i was going to escape even though it seemed almost i

From where I sat on the bed, I spat out blood into a container beside me. My mouth bruised and bitter. My throat hurts anytime I try to talk. "What is it this time?" I asked, my voice shaky."I came to see how you are doing. And you are doing good," he replied with a smirk on his face. Rage ignited within me. I wanted to lunge at him, beat him to pulp. He was a monster, cruel and merciless."Bastard," I muttered. Alex laughed, the sound of it made me more pissed. "I will see you later. Be a good boy," he said, walking out of the room. The familiar sound of the keys locking the door made me sigh. Everything felt like a set up. We were all leaving the house that day when we blacked out. I woke up tied to a chair. That's was when I realized everything was a plan, Alex had set me up with Gray. I had no idea where Lucas was but I

Max sighed, as he cleared his throat."He is in a really bad condition. Boss kept him the torture room for days," he replied. My anger towards Alex intensified. He was such a cruel bastard, willing to go any length to archive what he wants. "Max, please I have to see him. I need to see the condition he is in," I pleaded. "I'm afraid that won't be possible. I was given strict instructions not to let you get out of the house or even know that Julian is alive," he said worriedly. "Just do this for me, Max. Please," I begged, my voice shaky. "What if boss come back home? What if this guards snitch on us? He would kill me," Max panicked. "Listen, we will find a way around this. Just take me there, Alex won't come back home.

Luckily, Alex's driver emerged and I sighed in relief, glancing at Julian who did the same thing. "Hey! Where is boss? Did you forget something?" Max asked the driver. "He has travelled. I just came to drop his car," he replied, walking towards us. I ignored his intense stare. Max cleared his throat, collecting the key from him. "You can leave now," Max ordered, his voice firm.He left, and Max turned to us. "Please, be careful because of next time. I almost had a heart attack," he said. "Sorry about that. I felt the same way, I just hope this one won't tell your boss," Julian muttered. "I will talk to him and give him some money. You should hurry now, the guards will return soon," Max said. "Thank you," I appreciated, holding Julian's waist to support him. We followed the kitchen's back door into the house. "Is there anybody in there?"

    Ava's povI went to shower, my heart filled with joy because of our plan. We finally had a way out, thank goodness I collected the gold from Julian that day. Coming out of the bathroom, Julian stared at me with lustful eyes and a blush crept to my cheeks."Look away," I said, more like a command and his eyes glistened with amusement. "Are you seriously telling me to look away?" He pouted like a baby. I chuckled, crossing my arm across my chest. "Yes, look away or I will take you back to your room," I threatened playfully. "You can't," he stucked his tongue out. I laughed at his childish behavior. Spending time with him again was refreshing and I hoped Alex wouldn't return soon. I grabbed my clothes from the closet, walking back to the bathroom to dress. After putting on a sweatpants and a sweatshirt, I tied my hair into a messy bun and turned on the water for Julian. "It's time for you to shower as well. Can you do that yourself?" I asked julian, and he nodded."I'm going downst

"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.

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 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?

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

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.
