Alex's pov

Diamond ran towards Julian and Ava. My heart thumped in my chest at the sight in front of me.

"Carry her upstairs," I ordered Marco who lifted her up.

"Let me go! What did you do to my daddy and Aunt Ava? Let me go!!" She yelled loudly as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Take her and tell her nanny to lock them upstairs!" I yelled at Marco and he left with her. I winced in pain as i stood up.

I was shaking, I had killed Ava. It wasn't intentional, I meant to shoot Julian but she ran towards him. It was too late, there was nothing I could do to save her.

Yes, I wanted to punish her for what she had done but I never thought of killing her. I still wanted Ava to be with me and take care of the kids.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at her lifeless body. "Boss, are you okay?" Marco's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

I nodded, wiping my tears. "Go dispose their bodies," I said, my voice shaky.

He carried their bodies and my chest tightened in anguish. The scene

    Ava's pov"Mommy! Where have you been?" A small boy who would be around four years asked with worry etched on his face.I was taken aback, did he just call me mommy?"Who is your mommy?" I asked, there was a barrier blocking me from walking towards him."You are my mommy. Don't you remember me? It's me Aiden," he replied, trying to reach out to me. I was quiet, I had no idea who he was. Could I possibly have a son and I don't remember him? It was funny because I had no idea who I was too. Everything was strange. "Please, come and take me away from here. I don't like it in here, mommy. I don't like it here!" He yelled, tears streaming down his face and my heart broke seeing him cry. His voice echoed in my head severally. My eyes snapped open, my body was drenched in sweat. I took in my surroundings. The room was large, painted in white and a girl's picture was on the wall.

    Julian's pov"Good morning Julian," Kim said as she walked into my room and I groaned inwardly. "Good morning," I muttered, looking away from her. "I need help with my zipper. I've been struggling to get it up," she said and I sighed, turning to her. Her back was on full display, and she pressed herself against me, making my skin crawl. "Kim, I can't get the zipper done when you are too close to me," I pointed out. She muttered an apology, shifting forward, her eyes flashing with disappointment."Done," I said after helping her. She wrapped her arms around my neck suddenly. "Julian, don't you like what you see?" She asked, licking her lips. "I don't like this. You have a husband," I replied as I pushed her away from me gently which made her frown. "Gabriel is my baby daddy not my husband. Julian, I saved your life when you were about to die. The least you can do to appreciate me is by giving me what I want," she said stubbornly. "I don't know what you want! Stop stressing me ple

    Alex's povI clenched my jaw, frustration boiling over as I yelled into the phone. "What are you even saying? How can you tell me you had an accident with the car and everything was spoiled? We are talking about goods worth of fifty million dollars!""I'm sorry, sir. It wasn't intentional," My manager in America replied, Jude his voice trembling. "Jude, this is the second time! Goods of a hundred million dollars in a month. What the hell is wrong with you?" I demanded, anger evident in my voice. "I'm sorry sir," he repeated and I hung up. He was messing with me, there was more to this, and I would find out. I made calls to the guards over there to confirm if he truly had an accident. They promised to give me feedback in two hours. Sighing, I sipped my drink. I was tired of everything going on all at once. It's been two month since Ava's death and everything with the kids had been a struggle.They had only begun to talk to me after a month. Diamond still hated me, but Aiden and I ma

I groaned, blinking my eyes. My head throbbed like i had hit it on the ground. "Bring her here, let her have some water," Jessica said. Joey helped me to the couch and handed me a cup of water. I gulped it down then sighed, feeling relieved. "Who are you?" Joey asked the guy who triggered something in me."My name is Julian. I'm here with Kim and Daniel. Gabriel's family," he introduced, pointing a woman and a boy. There was silence and tension after he spoke. Julian and I locked gazes, he looked so familiar. I wondered if I knew him before. The look on his face proved something, I have to talk to him before he leaves. He could know something about me. "Please, have your seat," Jessica broke the silence and everyone sat down. "My name is Jessica, Gabriel's wife. She is Joey, his daughter and this is Ava, a friend

I have to get his kids ready for school!" Jessica called out. I added a lip gloss to keep my lips moist and grabbed my phone, rushing out of the room. "I'm sorry for delaying you, Jessica. I overslept," I apologized and the old woman smiled. "You look stunning by the way," she complimented.I blushed at her compliment. "Thanks to you for helping me get my life back together.""Joey! We are leaving!" Jessica yelled loudly. Joey came out of her room with sleep eyes but her eyes widened when it met mine. "Girl, you are so hot. Who knew you had this kind of body? Mom's boss will be all over you," Joey squealed with excitement. "This girl is crazy. Let's be on our way," Jessica said as she shook her head in disappointment while I laughed and we left for work.Jessica drove while I turned on the radio, looking for a suitable song

I clapped, thrilled by their achievements. "I will take you both to disney land on saturday as a reward for passing your test in school.""Wow! Thank you!" They exclaimed with excitement and I chuckled. "I will get you a puppy, Diamond like you discussed with your brother," I added. "Really?" She asked for confirmation. " Yes princess.

    Ava's povI groaned, my eyes snapping open to a piercing headache. A concerned face hovered above me."Hey, are you okay?" Someone asked. I looked up to see the man I saw earlier, he looked worried. "Do you need water or anything?" He asked again. I felt embarrassed for making a mess out of myself on my first day at work. "No sir, I'm sorry for passing out. It tends to happen anytime I try to remember things," I apologized, sitting up."It's fine, there is no need to apologise. Are you sure you are good? I can take you to the hospital for check up," he offered and I shook my head."My name is Alex, I'm Jessica's boss," he introduced himself. Alex? There was something about that name.

    Julian's povI had just finished ordering clothes online for Daniel and myself. I also gave Kim some money for shopping. She was curious about how I got money but I refused to tell her. There hadn't been any difference. She had been pestering and seducing me into sleeping with her but I resisted even though it was hard. Kim was a really beautiful woman with enough weight in appropriate places but there was this particular person who was always on my mind.The lady we met as Gabriel's house. I felt connected to her in some kind of way. I was sure I had met her somewhere but it was sad I couldn't remember. "Julian, I'm home!" Kim yelled. I walked out of my room to the living room. She was an entrepreneur, she buys goods and sells them so she has enough time for herself. "Welcome back. How was the place you went to?" I asked. "It was good. Did you miss me?" She replied with a wink and I rolled my eyes. "You have started again. What are we having for dinner and why is Daniel not back

    Kim's povMy hands trembled as I stared at Julian, whose head was rested on my laps. His rugged features, once commanding and powerful, now seemed vulnerable. Tracing his eyebrows, I couldn't help but feel the spark and connection that had drawn me to him ten years ago. I was in love with him already. Memories flooded my mind. He was the first man I ever had sex with, and I had given him my heart. However I was heartbroken when he said it was just a one night thing the next day. I found him three months ago unconscious with a gun wound, I knew it was his greatest rival who was responsible, Alex. Julian didn't remember me when he woke up which made me so happy. I had been searching for the perfect plan to crawl back into his life, and claim him as mine alone. He used to be the mafia leader in America, and I was surprised when Alex took over his position. I started making my findings, and research. I got to know through his house help that Alex held him hostage. Thank goodness, Ga

    Alex's povI drove back home with a smile on my face. My plan worked, my doctor gave me a drug which I put in Ava's drink . She fainted, and didn't talk about remembering any past when she woke up.She even agreed to come stay with us permanently as my kids full time nanny. I was more than happy to have her back to myself. "Daddy, welcome back," Aiden said, giving me a hug when I stepped into the house."Welcome home, daddy," Diamond said, my lips curved into a smile at the feeling of her calling me dad. I handed Aiden the chocolates, and sweets I bought for them. "You are the best," Diamond smiled, snatching the bag from Aiden. "Hey! Give it to me!" Aiden yelled. I shook my head, laughing at their childishness and bickering. "Ava is finally coming to stay with us. How do you guys feel?" I asked, and they both turned to me. "I'm so excited to have my mom back. Daddy, when can we tell her the truth?" Aiden replied with a pout. "Yeah, she deserves to know the truth," Diamond added

    Ava's pov"What the hell is happening here?" I demanded when I saw Julian on the floor with Kim crying beside him. My heart raced at the thought of what could be wrong. The wound looked like a gunshot, and fear gripped me. "Jessica, what's happening? Somebody talk to me!!" I yelled loudly. Jessica sighed as she walked towards the door where Julian laid lifeless. "You should be asking her that question. She just showed up at my door with him," Jessica said, her voice shaky. I turned to Kim who was gasping heavily as she grabbed Julian's body. "What happened to him? Say something and stop crying," I said softly. Kim wiped her tears, clearing her throat before speaking. "A man sh.. showed up in our ho.. house. He to.. took Daniel away. He took my son and shot Julian."My eyes widened. "Did you take him to the hospital? He should be in the hospital," I asked. "I removed the bullet myself. There will be questioning in the hospital and I could get arrested," She replied. Jessica and

    Ava's povMy eyes snapped open, I felt the usual pain piercing my head. I blinked my eyes as I took in my environment. It was Alex's room? But I didn't remember how and when I got in here. I sat up slowly, wincing in pain. The door pushed open, and Alex walked in with tray in his hands. "Hey, you are awake," Alex said, his voice laced with worry as he placed the tray on the bed. "How did I get in here? I.. I can't remember what happened," I asked. His eyes glistening with amusement, and I raised a curious brow."You fainted so I brought you here to rest," He replied, pouring water into a glass cup and he handed it to me. I gulped down the water, feeling a sense of relief at the coolness it brought me. I was confused why I didn't remember that happened. "Hey, don't stress it. You worry too much and it's not good for you," He said softly, and I nodded. Alex got into the bed beside me. My breath hitched as he pulled me closer to him. My head relaxed on his chest, and he stroked my

    Julian's povI wrote down Ava's boss's address after booking a meeting online to see him. The meeting was scheduled in two weeks time which seemed like eternity, but I was determined to uncover the truth. Perhaps confronting him would trigger my lost memories. Sipping my drink, I couldn't shake off the feeling of heartbreak. Ava didn't want me, and her boss had manipulated her into believing i was a bad person. I wondered if he had ulterior motives, maybe even feelings for her. "You wouldn't dare!" Kim's yell pulled me out of my sleep, and I rubbed my temples. Who was she yelling at?Then, I heard her scream which made me sprang up from the bed. My jaw clenching in anger. She was on the floor in the living room with Gabriel towering over her. "What the hell is happening here?" I demanded as I grabbed Kim's hand, helping her up. A hand print was on her cheeks, and I turned to Gabriel in anger. "Dude, are you crazy? How dare you hit her?" I demanded, pushing him. "Stay out of this,

    Ava's povJulian had a shocking expression on his face, his mouth agape, and his eyes filled with worry. "I have no relationship with your boss, Ava. How does he know me?" He demanded, his voice laced in anger. I sighed, frustrated with everything going on. "I don't know, Julian. Just give me some space for now. I need time to think about everything," I said. "I'm disappointed," Julian muttered and I raised a curious brow. "What do you mean by that?" I demanded. "This same boss of yours is the one you found a gun in his room. If you truly like me, you won't believe his words about me without evidence. Take care of yourself, Ava. Call me when you need me," Julian said, before storming off. I watched his car speed away. I didn't know what to do or who to believe. Alex might be a mafia leader, but he seemed genuine. I barely know anything about Julian so he shouldn't blame me for not trusting him. "Hey, how did it go?" Joey asked worriedly. "He was so angry, Joey," I replied. Jess

What if he leaves again? We will be alone.""I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Kim. He doesn't like me, and i have enough money to support myself. Let me go," I replied, sitting on the bed. She walked from the door to the couch beside my bed. "I don't want you to leave. You know how I feel about you," she muttered, her voice shaky. We locked gazes, and I saw the sadness in her eyes. "Kim, you are a beautiful woman. but I don't want to be involve in a love triangle. I have a lot going on in my life already."She sighed. "It's okay if you don't want to be with me, but promise you will stay. If not for me but for Daniel's sake," Kim pleaded. I had no choice than to accept to stay. All I needed to do was to stay out of Gabriel's business and avoid meals with them. "I'm heading out. Take care of yourself,"

    Alex's povI groaned as Ava kissed me passionately in the room. She held me tightly, not wanting to let me go as she moaned. Despite my growing desire, I gently pulled away because I didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerable state."Alex," she groaned. "I need you, come here," She demanded with a pout on her face as I tucked her into bed.Few minutes later, she drifted off to sleep and I sighed, feeling content. I made a story about the mysterious man she went on a date with and she believed. I had to confess my true identity as a mafia leader. And about how much I wanted her which she would accept to be mine soon. All I needed was to get the identity of the man she went out with. Grabbing my phone, I called Marco to ask about my business. "Hello boss," He answered, his voice shaky."Are you decent?" I asked."Yes boss. I'm working out," he replied. "Have you seen Gabriel?" I demanded, scrolling through my other phone. "I haven't.

Alex stared at me, his piercing gaze intensifying my anxiety."I'm not going to hurt, you. I don't know why you are scared," Alex said with a soothing sigh. "I can't be sure, you don't expect me to be comfortable with you. You have a gun in here, you can murder me in my sleep or something," I muttered and he shook his head. Alex walked towards me, grabbing my hand gently. I took a deep breath, feeling overwhelmed with his closeness. I gasped when he placed a kiss on my forehead."You remind me of my late wife, Ava. How do you expect me to hurt you?" He said softly. "My job doesn't mean i kill people, the gun is just for protection and I have a license for it," he explained."Are you sure?" I asked.
