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.

    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

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?

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

    Ava's povWe finally finished eating dinner, and I told the kids to go watch movie in the cinema. They were really happy to go watch their favorite cartoon, and not going to bed soon. "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 nodded reluctantly, and there was silence. That was when I thought about it. Why did I really want to go see Alex with him? I had no idea why, but I wanted to go. I had call Max to come stay with the kids, and he has arrived.We said our goodbyes to them, and left to see Alex. My heart kept pounding in my chest on our way there.

    Julian's pov"Max, go pick the kids from school and take them to the park. I need to take Ava to the hospital for checkup, and I don't want them to be in the house alone," I said, sipping my drink. He nodded, and I smiled. 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. Be careful, Max. We have enemies out there," I warned. "That's for sure, boss. The kids are safe wit

Should I talk about the sharp pain I felt in my head?My head was hurting like someone was hitting something on my head continuously. What had I done to deserve this punishment? I managed to open my eyes again, and I met with a young woman's face. She looked at me with so much worry on her face. It made me wonder where she knew me from, and why she cared about me this way. A whole me, Alexander! The merciless man. I flinched when she touched my arm, and she apologized. "I'm sorry for touching you without your permission. I'm so sorry."Sitting up as groans of pain escaped my lips. "It's fine. Please, who are you? And where is this? How did I find myself here or how did you find me?" I asked, raising a curious brow. As I waited for her answer, I looked down to see bondage wrapped around my stomach to my waist. The place hurt when I touched it. "My brother works for you. He brou

    Ava's povJulian went to have a conversation with Max which made me a little worried. I thought about what could have happened that Max wanted to see him privately, and not in front of everyone. My son smiled brightly as he ate more of his pancakes. He loved pancakes, and I made him love it. I remembered everything now, everything that happened in the past. It all came when Julian, and Alex pointed gun at each other. Although, I know the truth already but it felt so different when I could remember. I was happy to carry this baby, but not anymore. After all Alex has done to us, why should I still want to carry his child? That was so crazy, and annoying but I had no choice. Julian already promised to love the baby like his, so it was fine. "Are we going to school, mommy?" Aiden asked with a pout. "Just what I wanted to ask. We haven't been in school for three days, and I miss my friends," Diamond muttered with sadness written all over her face. I smiled, placing my hands on the ta

    Julian's povWe finally archieved our aim today. I kicked Alex to the side of the room. "Let's go, Julian. We have to go before something happens," Ava whispered, dragging my hand. I wanted to burn down the house before, but I decided against it when Ava told me to leave. I would be back soon to complete the mission.I wasn't sure if Alex was really dead, but it was something. I didn't plan to kill him today, the plan was to take Ava out of his house, and come back later for a revenge plan. I kept my gun in my pocket, grabbing Ava's hand protectively. Luckily, on our way out there was nobody to stop us. "Thank goodness, thank you babe," Ava whispered when we finally entered the car. She placed her head on my chest, and I stroked her hair. The ride to the hotel was quiet, long and pleasuring. I finally felt at peace for what just happened. I hired a driver, and the old man knew how to do his job. A smile crept to my face, my woman was finally here with me. What else did I want now?

    Alex's povI almost lost my mind when I found out the kids has gone missing. I couldn't even think of who could do this to me. I accept everything, but messing with the kids was extreme. Ava's reaction to it made me feel guilty. I felt like a loser because she warned me about it a day before it happened. I got the school authorities arrested, but the police men released them after three hours. They said I had no reason whatever to keep them in prison, because the kids volunteered to follow the stranger that came to pick them. How could the kids do this to me? Who did they follow? What sort of madness was this? I was almost losing my mind. I searched for them everywhere I thought they would be, but I didn't find them there. I had no idea on what to do anymore. I was fucking disturbed, and I didn't know when I started crying in the car. What would be my stress after everything? Losing two children on a day was unbelievable. Was this a way to pay for my sins? I wondered if it was Go

    Ava's pov"What is this thing you just poured on me , Ava? What the fuck is wrong with you?" Alex demanded, his eyes blazing in anger as he wiped it off his face with his clothes. I chuckled, the water was from aloe vera and I used it for my hair. I wish I just had acid or something. I would have poured it on him without hesitation."That's what you get for locking me here. Are you crazy, Alex? How cruel can you be? Just because I went to see Julian, and so. Do you know if I wanted to help you catch him? Think with your brain, dude," I said, rolling my eyes. His eyes widened, and he moved closer to me. "You want to help me catch him? Is that a joke or what?" He asked in disbelief. "I saw him on my way to pick the kids. He insisted we should be friends and all that. I had to play along so that you would get him, and do whatever you want with him," I lied, hoping he would buy it. Alex shook his head. "I don't believe you. I just came to check up on you, and see how you are doing. I'

    Julian's povMy heart thumped heavily in my chest, I had never been so nervous in my whole life. I didn't know the reaction, the kids would give when they see me.That alone made me nervous. I parked my car alongside others in front of their school building. "Just stay in the car, I will go get them," Max said. I raised a curious brow. "Why do you want to go alone? I should go with you, don't you think?" He shook his head, disagreeing. "We don't have to go in together. Your face is new, and the teacher would not allow you inside. They may even raise an alarm. I don't want that for us."I nodded, tapping my hands on the steering wheel impatiently when he left. After five minutes, Max walked out of the building with the children on both of his sides. Tears welled in my eyes at the sight of them . They looked more grown now, my goodness. I missed a lot in their lives, and I felt like a total failure. Max put them in the backseat. "Drive!" He yelled when they all entered. I drove off

    Julian's povI sighed, calling Ava again but her number was switched off. Since the day she left, I hadn't been able to talk to her. I knew she was in some kind of trouble with Alex. It was two days already, and I would lose it soon. Or has she changed her mind? No, that wasn't possible. I went to have my bath, and I wore a black tailored pants with a white shirt. I couldn't take it anymore, I needed to find Ava. God forbid, but she could have been killed by Alex. I didn't trust that man one bit, because I knew what he was capable of doing. Putting on my sunglasses, I styled my hair in a different way. It would be hard for anyone to know it was me. I groaned when I realized I didn't know where Alex lived. The only person who can help me with his address was Kim. Damn it, I had to go to her for help. I couldn't just stay here without knowing if Ava was alright. Grabbing my car keys, I left my room and drove to where I would find Kim which was her late sister's house. They let me
