Mia is forced to marry the wealthiest man in the country to protect her younger sister. Just because she was forced doesn't mean she didn't love. Yes? She loved him to the depth of her bones but he? He wanted to punish her for her crimes. Crimes she wasn't aware of. “ I'll make sure to make your life a living hell,” he whispered into her ear sending chills down her spine. She remembered him but he had no idea who she was, she loved him and would do anything for him to see her heart but he was unresponsive but that all changed when she decided that she wouldn't force her love or bear the consequences for what she didn't do. Fleeing from his torturous grip, only then does Azek realize his feelings for her and who she is. All that's on his mind now is how not to lose her the way his dad had lost his mom.
view moreNatalia’s POVThe indistinct chatter of hospital patients thundered down the hallway and into the room where Azek was on bed rest. Mia still sat there holding his hands like he could wake him up. She consistently brushed her fingers against his face. The burden and heavy weight of despair was written all over her face.As I watched Mia intensely, my phone rang. I threw a glance at the screen and saw a familiar number. It was my parents. My stomach twisted when the thought of how Mia would feel hit me. She had never wanted to be in contact with parents. The fear of her losing it gripped me and my chest crushed under the pressure of my anxiety. “Hello ?” I picked up the phone call and tried not to disturbed the tense silence in the room“Natalia?” a shaky old voice said from the other end of the line. The voice sounded even older than I can remember. “We saw the news, hope Mia is ok” my mum added. I was conflicted within me, the relationship between Mia and her foster parents had alwa
Mia’s POVHesitation gripped me as I got to the door of Azek’s ward. I stood there in fear of the uncertainty around Azek's condition. My entire being was tense and the tension took its spread into the atmosphere around where I stood. I must be strong and take anything news I get calmly. If Azek wasn't strong enough I needed to be strong for both of us. I said to myself, After a long battle with fear and anxiety, I opened the door and walked in. Nurses were all over Azek, I watched them fiddle with the machines that beeped loudly. The nurses left the room one after the other, till I was left with the head nurse who walked towards me and took a seat. I looked at Azek who laid peacefully in bed, it took all the strength in me to hold myself from crying. The nurse touched me and gave me a look of pity. “This is a bit heavy to say. But Mr Ford experienced a concussion from the impact of a grazing bullet to his skull” she spoke as softly as she could. Her words came to me with growing
Mia’s POVAs I walked in, documents and papers were scattered all over the table, the room well-lit and occupied with cabinets and shelves. Was he looking for something? I asked myself. “Please forgive my untidied office, being all over the place for some days now” he said to me as he noticed I was scanning the room. He offered me a seat, his voice had a feeling of urgency and seriousness. I took my seat and looked at him. She ran through a bit of details and information they had gotten from some of the hoodlums they captured at the gunfight. “We need your statement so we can compare and contrast with the information we've gotten so far. So please can you do a little but detailed recap on what happened at the exchange?” he said to me in a very serious tone. I began the tale from when I got the phone call to come get my kids down to the point the kids were released and they tried to shoot at me when I fled with the kids. As I spoke I realized how heavy my words were. Each word fe
Mia’s POVThe minutes felt like eternity, as I sat with Liam and Lewis by my side. Azek would be fine! I repeatedly said in my mind. Repeating those words gave me a sense of hope and courage. Azek can't just leave me with the kids and all the evil of this world, he needs to come back. This turn of events plagued my mind with horrible thoughts. After a while, a nurse came out to the reception area. I recognised her, she was one of the nurses handling Azek. I immediately got up and walked towards her. “Please what are the results of the brain scans?” I asked with a feeble tone. She had a worried look on her face and she let out a deep sigh. “The results are still undergoing evaluation. Once they are cleared the doctor will relay the result to you. Please ma’am be calm and patient and let us do our jobs” the nurse said softly. Her words were intended to calm me down but instead, it increased the anxiety I was running away from. I walked back to my seat, Liam once again said my facial
Mia’s POV“Azek are you okay?” I had to ask him because he wasn't looking okay. He just stared at me and the kids, mute and silent. I found this awkward. Was he okay? I asked myself. I watched him closely for some time and it dawned on me that Azek didn't recognize me nor the kids.I didn't believe it at first as it felt like a weird thought but the more I observed him, the more he acted strange. My heart was filled with gratitude and joy, seeing my kids and my entire family reunite. Azek had put his life on the line to make sure we all were safe. It was several hours after the gunfight and Azek’s operation, I suddenly remembered that he must be hungry. As he hasn't eaten anything since the day began. “What would you like to eat Azek, can I get you anything?” I asked him. He just stared at me and was completely mute. No reaction or sound. I waved my hands at him trying to break the stare but he didn't. I flicked my fingers but he still stared at me like he was a statue or somethin
Azek’s POV “Pain! So much pain "I yelled. The pain I felt grew more intense as the minutes flew by. My pledge and oath to never allow my family to get hurt again was the only thing fuelling my endurance. This is my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove to Mia that I was all she needed to have a good life. As I got hit by that bullet the pain was nothing compared to the thought of losing my family. As I drove the car, my vision became bloody, my mind was constantly fighting my body not to give out before I could get Mia and the kids to safety. All I could hear was Mia and the boys crying, their tears made me more determined. “Azek please stop your bleeding, let me get help” Mia's words sounded like a fading call to make me falter and fail in my quest to protect my family. “Don't worry my love, I will get you and the kids to safety” I said in my mind. She didn't see the determination I had to get to safety. Even if I died I would die a happy and fulfilled man cause I knew I prote
Mia’s POV“Ohh my dear please stop the car, let's call for help. We need to get you to a hospital. Your bleeding "I exclaimed to Azek who was still driving with his injury. The courage and determination Azek had was admirable. He made sure we were far away from the gunfight. He went as far as taking a bullet for his family, truly he’s the dream father and husband anybody could ask for. I watched him groan in pain and agony forcing his weak body to drive the car. He held his lower stomach with one hand and drove violently with the other hand. He shook his head as his eyes were closing gradually. I sat at the back of the car, overwhelmed by fear and anxiety. My heart skipped a beat and my chest crushed under the gravity of the situation.Azek was zoning out and his concentration on the road was reduced by the minute. “Azek please stop the car, let me call for help. Don't die protecting us "I yelled again at him. The crying of the kids made it difficult for me to calm down. The more t
Chloe's POV “Don't let them run away” I exclaimed. This was supposed to be a smooth process. I Neva expected them to come with backup. And besides I thought they had a divorce. How could Mia have such police command like this? Even snipers !!! I screamed in my mind. This wasn't what I expected. “What are you doing crack heads” I yelled at the machinery I came with. They were all dumb humans. They were supposed to protect me not start a gunfight. I watched as they fell to their deaths one by one. The police had better weapons than they did. I tried hiding, but the thousands of bullets destroyed every cover I tried using. Furthermore, I had to change position and get new. The sight was gruesome and bloody. All I planned was to take Mia and the kids into custody. Removing them from the picture would clear the way, so I could have direct access to Azek. But that small plan has turned into a bloodbath. The more the machinery fell, the closer the police advanced. Bit by bit they closed
The ExchangeMia’s POV The voice yelling at me sent chills down my spine. I scanned the area but the evening fog prevented me from seeing far from where I stood. I kept my cool and answered the question. With a shaky voice, a feeble leg, and a traumatized mind I stood there like a dried leaf awaiting the violent winds to blow me away into oblivion. The voice came from the depth of a dimly lit alley, I stood right in front of the alleyway. The silence was deafening, the sound of water dripping into a puddle created an eerie atmosphere. Fear gripped me, eating my courage away like a parasite. “My name is Mia and I came to get my kids” I spoke loudly but my voice was a bit shaky revealing the fear that gripped me. There was silence for a few seconds and I thought I wasn't audible enough. So I took another deep breath to repeat myself but I was cut short by the male voice again. “Are you alone ?”This question made my legs shake and my feeble mind drowned in fear. My lips became heavy
