The Tipping pointMia’s POV“Sure I can. You would have to wait for a few minutes. I need to wrap up all the pending orders” the Bartender said with a smile on his face. Natalia’s life was on the line here, I just couldn't wait another minute. Azek And I sat at the empty table close to the bar stand. I threw a quick gaze at Azek, his countenance was pale. I just looked at him in pity. His confidence was giving out. I could feel his heart growing heavy from all the drama we had been experiencing for the past two days. Forty-eight hours had passed, and we were yet to see our boys or Natalia. The two most loved and important people in our lives. This was a total nightmare. As I closed my eyes to pray and hope that it would be over soon, Azek held my hand tightly, and I raised my gaze at him. His eyes sparkled with dwindling hope. The buzz and chatter from the people in the bar made me zone out more into my despair. This was nothing short of pure agony. My breath was visible in the col

Mia POV “Natalia please be in here” I prayed in anticipation and anxiety. Azek held my hand tightly, as the bartender knocked on the door. A haggard-looking woman opened the door. She exchanged greetings with the bartender and I just waited, anticipation made me sweat in the freezing temperature, and I just kept hoping and praying Natalia was there. “Who are they ?” the woman asked the bartender. Her suspicious gaze turned to us. Her gaze peered into my heart. Azek just looked at her with a stern look. Giving her the idea we were here on urgent and important business. “Good day ma’am, my name is Azek, and my wife is Mia. Your colleague informed us that my wife’s junior sister is in your custody. Please we plead that we see her. We've been searching for her hours now” Azek boldly interrupted the conversation the bartender was having with the woman. Azek had everything under control so I just stood at the sidelines and watched the discretion of the conversations. All I hoped was t

Mia's POV “What do I need to know !” I exclaimed, breaking the silence that followed Rachel's soft voice. The suspense was killing me, Azek too was growing impatient. She knew something we needed. I searched my head for a clue of what she wanted to say. Could it be the location of our kids? A name we could look for? What was it, I asked myself in the few seconds Natalie used to catch her weak breath. His life was hanging in the balance. She clung onto a tiny strand of life. What was she about to reveal? Natalie took some time to wet her throat. The second pause in her speech made it seem like an eternity before she spoke. “I heard them. …they were talking about the boys" Natalia continued her speech, still coming in a small burst of energy. After each word, she caught her breath like the breath was going to run away from her.They planned on changing the children's location and taking them to somewhere more dangerous. My heart sank as I heard her. My anxiety came back with full

Azek’s POV“Describe the color and brand of the car,” I said firmly. Mia said something about a car looking familiar earlier that day. It can't possibly be the same car, I said to myself trying to hide from the reality and trauma that information would bring along. I was under so much stress, my mind filled with anxiety. I couldn't think straight at this point. “It's a gray BMW,” Daniel said. His words made my stomach twist a little. My eyes widened and my mouth opened widely. That sounded like Reed’s care. He was the only one I knew who drove a gray BMW. My face turned pale, this was too much for me to process. “What is the problem? “ Mia asked me as she noticed I was looking pale and the color in my face had drained. I didn't want this information to break Mia. I need to verify this information before I let Mia know. I stood there thinking about my next move. Time stood and my subconscious thought engulfed me in a cocoon. “Hey, are you ok?” Mia asked as she brought me back to re

Azek’s POV“Wake up dear, you need to go get Natalia back home,” I said to Mia who was still fast asleep. I opened the curtains and took the blankets off her. She mumbled and turned to the other side of the bed. How could she be asleep when we haven't found the boys?“I think we have found the location where they are hiding the boys!” I exclaimed with urgency in my voice. I needed to wake her up. Mia’s eyes flung open and she stood up in a hurry. She staggered and I rushed towards her to help her. She was so tired she could not keep herself standing for a whole minute. “Where are the boys !” she said in a hurry as she turned round scanning the room. Her eyes are still heavy with slumber and her breath is heavy and irregular. I helped her sit on the bed and told her to calm down. “Relax and breathe Mia, we need to go get Natalia first, the paramedic's team is ready to take her to the hospital,” I said to her as I held her seat down. She held her head and listened to me. Her eyes are

Mia’s POV “It's this way, turn to your left,” I said to the driver as we drove across the city. The drive was long and exhausting. I had only been to that building once. Navigating through the streets was confusing.We went to the bar, I looked around and I noticed there were no routes to get to the building except through the bar. As we walked through the bar, I threw my gaze at the bar stand where I saw the bartender from the previous night. I walked up to him and she didn't recognize me at first but after I introduced myself he remembered. “Oh your Natalia’s sister” he exclaimed remembering who I was. His face was brighter than the night we first met. He seemed happy and welcoming. “How is my sister, is she getting better?” I asked, my voice rising slightly with urgency. I just couldn't wait to see Natalia. “I need to take her to the hospital just as we planned,” I said to him gesturing for the paramedic personnel to come closer. His expression softened and he nodded in agreeme

Reed's POV “Hmm…what are Mia and Azek up to,” I asked myself. I could see tire marks and footprints all over the construction site. This couldn't have been Chloe, she hadn't been to the construction site in a long time. The kids need close monitoring. There is this feeling that had me confused and conflicted within myself. I just wanted to have Mia, but all this followed my determination to have what isn't mine. I saw my determination fade away right before me. As I got to the construction site, I scanned the area and wondered if the kids were found there. What would the outcome be like? Chloe thinks her plan is flawless, but it isn't because it only makes Azek and Mia bond more. I haven't seen them so determined to get something together. Should I call her and let her know about the recent development on this issue? How would she react, and in a way it was my fault that Natalia got into this? If I had let go of my obsession, maybe I wouldn't have agreed to help Chloe, and I and N

Mia's POV “Hang in there Natalia you will be fine,” I said as we drove in the ambulance. Natalia struggled with her breath and her weak body. She must have been extremely exhausted. “Mia …” she said softly. Her whispers made me increase my focus on her. I didn't want to miss any information she managed to breathe out. As I stared at her, my mind drifted into my subconscious. Thoughts of want happened to flood through my mind. Was she about to tell me the location of the boys? I asked myself as I waited for her next words. All I could do was wait. She used long minutes to gather strength for her next words. My patience grew thin as I waited.“Take your time dear,” I said to her, placing my hand on her forehead. Her body temperature was rising. She had this urgency in her expression. There was something crucial she had to tell me, but her body was too weak to release the information. “His part of them…his helping them,” she said in more puffs of air. Her speech was slurred and cluel
