Ava's pov

My 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

    Ava's pov Hurt flashed in Julian's eyes my words, and I felt a sense of satisfaction. "What do you want from Alex in exchange of our freedom?" I asked. "I will release you when i want to. 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

They hurried towards me, their eyes on the floor. "You can take the day off until your boss returns with the kids," I said, dismissing them."Okay boss," they replied and left. 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. After they left the house, i made some calls, inviting some girls over to the house. As I waited for them, I set the mood with music and candles.I wore only my briefs, feeling carefree and ready to have a good time.

    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.

"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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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

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'

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!"

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.
