"Are you sure you the boys will be okay here on their own?" She asked me and I nodded my head. "Yes the boys will be fine, you don't need to worry about them. We will be back soon right?" I asked her and she nodded her head."Yes, we just need to introduce everyone to you and then you can also use the opportunity to see the picture of the boss and then you can see what I'm talking about." She said and I felt scared a little bit."Are you for real? He frowns even in pictures as well?" I asked her and nodded her head."Well, I guess I'm going to have to see for myself then," I said and we both laughed out loud. We got to the main house and we passed through the kitchen, the maids were all waiting for me. I felt a little bit overwhelmed as I saw everyone staring at me with so much admiration. I just didn't know how to feel or react to what I was seeing. "Welcome to our mansion Chef Mendez, we are so glad to have you here in our house. I can't wait to have a taste of your mouth-watering
Azek's POV As soon as I stepped out of my car, I felt uneasy. I have been rehearsing in my head the things I'm going to say to Mia as soon as I come face-to-face with her. I have no idea how she's going to react to all of this, she's going to freak out for sure when she knows I'm the one who hired her. I just hope I have good enough excuses and things to say to stop her from hating me so much."Boss, you are not moving. Is anything the problem at all?" My driver was the one who asked me and I jolted back to reality. I didn't even know I had been standing in a spot for so long. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something," I said and made my way into the house as I took each step. My leg became heavy and I was practically dragging my feet with me. This is just so bad and I hope I'm able to handle this well enough. I made my way into the sitting room and the aroma that enveloped me was simply out of this world. I had no idea that something could smell this good. Is it because
Mia's POV I made my way to the apartment, I almost lost my way but I was able to find my way, especially as it's the second building in the compound. Immediately my mind fled to the things I heard the maids say, I began to wonder if they meant what they said or if it was all jokes.I shook the thought of my mind, I should not be lingering so much on it. It's not good for me, I opened the door and made my way to the room. Lewis and Liam were already asleep, and the maid watching over them already slept off as well. I walked over to the couch she was lying on and tapped her on the shoulder, she must be quite tired."Chef Mendez," she jolted up and quickly stood up. I can see she feels embarrassed that I found her in such a spot, I smiled at her making her feel relaxed. "I'm sorry for dozing off, I was just reading them bedtime stories. I don't even know how it happened, I'm sorry. Please don't report me to the boss, he will fire me once he finds out I did something like this." She sai
Azek's POV I sat there feeling nervous as I used my finger to restlessly tap the table. I couldn't even bring myself to eat the food that was served. I have rehearsed this scene in my head a hundred times and yet I'm unable to calm down. I looked around and I could see the maids looking at me, they immediately looked away as soon as our eyes met with each other.Six years ago after I woke up, I couldn't find Mia. At first, I thought she went away to get something which was rare but, I didn't care. My hatred for her back then blinded me and stopped me from seeing how much I loved and cared for her.Later it was discovered that she had left the mansion with some of her things. I found the truth two years ago and I have sought for her ever since. Now that she's just just so close by, I can't help but feel nervous. I wonder if she will want to see or have anything to do with me. But the good thing is, she can't leave no matter what. "Master Ford!" The head butler called out to me and I
Mia's POV "I need you to help me with the information of the person I'm working with right now. I have no idea who he is and what he does, I don't even know what his name is." I said and he heaved a deep sigh, from the look of things. He seems to be aware of the situation or at least knows something about it. I'm just going to have to find a way to get it out of his mouth."Well, you are over there now, right? What's the problem? It doesn't matter who he is at the moment, you are there with him now and you can't come back. You already resigned, so focus on your work." He said and I nodded my head in confirmation, he most definitely knows soothing and just trying to hide it."What are you saying now? Didn't you promise to help me? Just tell me what his name is, and I will take it up from here." I said to him hoping he would say something to me. Suddenly the call got disconnected and I wondered what had happened. I tried connecting the call again but it was unreachable. That means he d
Azek's POV The head butler came into my room to inform me about the breakfast already prepared. I nodded my head as I fixed my collar looking into the mirror, I can't believe it's morning already. I had a really hard time sleeping turning and tossing on the bed, I just couldn't believe Mia was right here close to me. Beneath my nose, the feeling was so surreal and I couldn't help but grin each time it crossed my mind. And of course, I feel really bad thinking about the first meeting we will be having. I'm ready for anything she wants to do to me, probably slap and spit on me.I made my way to the dining table and settled myself on one of the chairs. I looked around and there was no sign of Mia yet, she's probably still very busy in the kitchen cooking something. My legs shook nervously as I could feel my palms getting sweaty. No matter how much I prepare for this, it ends up feeling like an impossible mission. I just have to do it if I want to have my wife back.Suddenly Mia entered
Mia's POV. I got to the room and made my way to Lewis, he's the one sick because he was the one lying on the bed looking pale. I took the thermometer from the bag to check his temperature and it was high."Oh baby, I'm sorry for not attending to you so soon. Mummy has been busy and didn't have time to look after you since we arrived" I said and felt bad, my eyes began to water as tears threatened to fall my eyes. My kids are the most important people in my life, maybe because of the situation surrounding their birth but I love them more than I love life itself. And I will die if anything happens to them, I can't believe I was so careless to have left them in the care of another person. How very foolish of me to have done that, I didn't even think of the consequences. "I have no idea what happened Chef Mendez, I swear that I was looking after them the right way. And I came calling as soon as I noticed that something was wrong." Jessica said and worry was written all over her face. I
Azek's POV I stood still as I sat on the office chair, I've not been able to get the thought of her off my head since I got to the office this morning. She's the only thing I've been doing, thinking about her is the only thing I've achieved today. I didn't even realize that I was open until I heard the door close and I cringed as I stood up to see for myself who the person was."You look like shit, is it just me, or you have not been having a good enough sleep. That is so bad my darling cousin." He said and I scoffed."I'm not in a good mood Reed, you don't want to anger me more. I'm already sure of that." I said and he nodded his head."Don't push your luck, cousin, you should know by now that getting on your nerves is one of the easiest and my favorite thing to do in the world. So now tell me, how is Mia doing and how was the first meeting after so many years? I'm sure you both had a terrific reunion, I can see the reason why you didn't sleep well. Why didn't I think about all of t
