Julian's pov

I slowly opened my eyes, a sharp pain piercing through my head. A groan escaped my lips as I touched my head, trying to remember what happened.

"Boss! Thank goodness, he is awake!" Lucas exclaimed, his voice filled with relief.

I managed to utter his name, "Lucas.." my eyes locked on to his, and he gave me a pitiful look.

"Boss, how do you feel?" He asked.

I didn't answer. Memories came flooding back, and I remembered everything. Alex, Sophia, and the shocking revelation. My eyes darkened in anger as I grabbed Lucas by the collar.

"Where is Diamond?" I yelled, ignoring the sharp pain in my head.

Lucas's eyes widened in fear. "He took her away, boss," he stammered.

I pushed him to the floor and stood up, my chest tightening in pain. Tears burned my eyes as I thought of Diamond.

She may not be my biological child, but I had raised her as my own. It was Alex's plan all along to ruin me. He took Ava away from me, and now he took Diamond.

    Ava's povMy heart thumped heavily in my chest as Julian drove us to an unknown destination. I was supposed to be at Aiden's school meeting but now I was a captive. Aiden, sensing my unease, clung to my hand. I had no weapon on me, and even if I did, I couldn't escape from Julian with two kids. "Mommy, why aren't we going to school anymore?" Aiden asked, his face scrunched up in worry. I forced a smile, trying to reassure him. "We will go later, okay?" But he didn't seem satisfied and his eyes lingered on me with concern. Diamond rested her head on my laps, and I stroked her hair, trying to distract myself.The car pulled into a halt, and the door opened. I stepped out of the car, facing Julian."Julian," I said his name in a trembling voice, but he ignored me, rolling his eyes. There was a plane in front of us, I knew there was no escaping this time. Diamond ran to meet her father and, they shared a tender moments. Aiden held my hand when he was out of the car, his eyes scanning

I want nothing from that bastard but my son, Ava," Julian replied. "Aiden is not your son just like Diamond is not Alex's. You are just a sperm donor," I snapped. "Shut up!" He yelled at me angrily. I shut my mouth seeing he was getting mad. My eyes closed voluntarily and my mind wandered around. Would Alex find out? Would Julian want to take Aiden away from me? What would we be doing in the house? "Let me show you to your room. I told Lucas to buy clothes for you and the kids," Julian said. I followed him behind upstairs, he stopped in front of a room pushing it open. "Aiden wil share the room with you," he informed me, then he walked away. Entering into the room, I saw my son sleeping peacefully on the bed. I walked towards the bed and layed on it. Kissing Aiden's forehead, and

Few minutes later, they appeared well dressed. I noticed Max holding Maria's hand in a protectively, but I choose to ignore it. "We will leave now, boss," Max said, and I waved them off.

    Ava's pov As I woke up from the bed, I yawned and stretched, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I was resolute to find a way out of this place, even if it meant pretending to want Julian back. After taking a shower in the bathroom, I slipped in a red short dress. I enhanced my features with makeup. I smiled, staring at my reflection in the mirror, thinking. Men and their cheating nature won't pull me down, never. "Good morning, mommy," Aiden said with a yawn, breaking my thoughts. "Morning my prince charming," I gave him a smile. He grinned as he took in my appearance. "You look beautiful. Are we going to see daddy?" He asked. I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. "We will see daddy later, but we must enjoy out time here and make the best out of it," I replied. "I really like Diamond, she is like a sister to me. Who is her daddy to us? He is so nice," Aiden asked curiously. I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "Her daddy is mommy's friend okay?

"Thanks," I muttered, trying to sound nonchalant, but my heart raced with the brief touch. I moved away from him, trying to compose myself. Julian's eyes locked on mine, his intense gaze made my stomach flutter. "I'm excited to taste your cookies too. It's been so long, and I barely remember how they taste," he said. I bit my lip to avoid talking, trying to ignore the memories that flooded my mind. Instead, I focused on mixing the dough."So, where is the gold?" Julian asked, I turned to him crossing my arms across my chest."Why asking about the gold all of a sudden? You kidnapped me remember?" I said with an attitude.He sighed, pinching his nose as he leaned against the fridge. "What can i do to make you like me?" He questioned. "Let me go, Julian," I replied. "I won't let you go until you agree to be mine again, Ava," he said softly. I clicked my tongue, walking a

Grabbing her ass, i pulled her closer to me. She moaned, kissing me hungrily, her tongue dancing with mine. But as I glanced over at the kids, reality struck, and I pulled away, my heart racing. "Julian," Ava muttered, her voice husky and her eyes blazing with desire. "The kids," I whispered and she groaned. "I want you as much as you want me but we need to protect the kids from seeing us together," I said, my tone softening. Ava's cheeks reddened with embarrassment as she palmed her face, shaking her head. "Gosh, I'm such a bad mother," she muttered. "What are you saying? Just because you want to have sex doesn't mean you are bad, okay?" I tried to assure her. She shot me a glare and ran upstairs. I sighed, waiting in the kitchen thinking of ways to calm my raging desire. "Thank goodness," I muttered under

The door pushed open, and Max walked in. "Any news?" I asked him impatiently."No, boss. Julian isn't in America now," he replied, his eyes cast downward. I took a sip of my drink, dragging my cigar along, trying to calm my nerves."What do we do? I have tried calling Ava but her number is not reachable," I said with a groan. "We can track Julian or get information from one of his guys downstairs," Max suggested, and my eyes widened. "His guys downstairs? In my house?" I asked in disbelief. "I'm sorry for not telling you. Madam Ava caught one of Julian's guys who came to spy on us," he said. "Why didn't I hear of this?" I demanded, feeling pissed. "I'm sorry, boss.

My heart fluttered as I took in his peaceful expression, making him look almost child-like."You can take a picture, you know," Julian teased, his eyes still closed. My cheek flushed with embarrassment as I wondered how he knew I was staring. "Good morning darling," he whispered, opening his eyes which sparkled with affection. "Good morning," I muttered. Julian's gentle touch on my cheek sent shivers down my spine. "Did you sleep well?" He asked. "Yes, I slept well, even though I don't remember how I got here," I replied."I brought you here, and I hope you don't hate me anymore," Julian whispered. "I don't know," I said. "I just want you to know that I really love you and the kids, Ava. I will do my best to make you happy," He assured me. I didn't respond, unsure of what to say.

"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.

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 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.
