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

Mia's POV “What is he doing here !” I exclaimed as I saw Reed walk into the reception.His pace was slow and sluggish. He walked like he was being forced to enter the hospital. Watching him scan the area like he was looking for something or someone. “Did he come to look for Natalia? How did he get to find out she was at this hospital? And why didn't he call us to find out about her" I asked myself a series of questions that seemed not to be answered. Reed's sudden appearance was too random and suspicious. He knew more than we told him. He was hiding and planning something fishy. “But why would he plan something fishy against Azek" Just as I could finish thinking about my question, I saw his gaze glance in my direction. I quickly put my head down evading his gaze. I tried covering my face and hiding. Just as I turned my face to the ground, I felt someone walked towards me and tapped my shoulder. “Mia I was to talk to you” a soft voice is to me. As I raised my face, my eyes locked

Reed’s POV“You did what !” Azek screamed at me. His face filled with anger and hate. My blood ran cold and I couldn't coordinate myself well. Mia just stared at me confused and shocked. I am sure she was trying to process my entire confession; she never expected me to do something like that. Azek was so furious his eyes stabbed right into my soul, condemning me for my heinous actions. He didn't let me finish the next thing I felt was a sharp blow to my jaw, grinding my teeth and cutting my tongue. He pinned me down under himself and threw more sharp and quick jabs to my face. I took a good number of them to my left eye and right cheek. After a few moments of intense brutal punching, Mia held Azek back and took him off me. My vision filled with blood and my mouth was bleeding from cuts from my teeth. I lay there in pain, regret, and self-hate. I never expected them to react in such a manner. Mia tried to keep her cool but Azek just was having it. He lost his cool and lashed out at m

Reed’s POV “She isn't going to fall for that. She's already suspecting me that I might snitch on her soon" I tried explaining the current status of my partnership with Chloe. She wasn't going to fall for such cheap antics. Chloe was more smarter than they gave her more credit for. The police officer seemed unbothered he didn't buy my idea. “With my years of experience, criminals always come out to meet their partners,” he said opposing my statement about Chloe. He had no idea who he was talking about. Chloe's IQ is not from this world. She would smell the rat in the haystack. “Trust me, she isn't that dumb. She's a mastermind. That explains the reason you weren't able to find the kids until now” I explained to the police officer. Chloe's plan was almost flawless, the only part that had a flaw was, the part of Azek and Mia splitting. She took the kids without leaving a trace or clue where she might have taken them. “That very day, she gave me a location where I could drop the kid

Mia's POV “Calm down honey, you should be happy we now have a major lead in finding the kids” I tried showing Azek the Bright side of the whole situation. I understood his anger, the friend we all loved had gone rogue. Reed was a family friend we all loved, his recent actions ruined and destroyed the friendship we all shared right from high school. It was enough to piss one off. “His just a fool, I'm tired of his games. He would be locked in that prison for life. And I would make sure he doesn't get any help” Azek yelled as he paced randomly and restlessly in the room. Natalia and I just watched him vent his anger on the furniture around the room. “ Please calm down, let's focus on the matter at hand. Getting flared up won't bring the kids back. We need to calm our minds and prepare for the battle ahead” Natalia explained trying to calm Azek down. She hasn't made a statement this lengthy in a while. I was happy that she was regaining her strength fast and by the minute. “So tell

Azek's POV “How long would she be here” I asked a nurse who was attending to Natalia. I had plans of putting her under heavy supervision by the police force. I didn't want her missing again. “She might be here another day or two but if her recovery is fast, she could discharge tomorrow” the nurse replied to me with a bright smile on her face. I still wasn't happy with the idea, it made me feel I was going to lose Mia again. And I wasn't ready to go down that route once again. The end of that road was nothing far from despair and pain. Mia was cool with it, so it wasn't that bad. I said to myself. My mind became more unsettled as I tried convincing myself that the plan was for the greater good. “You guys just go and get the plan in motion I would be fine,” Natalia said softly as she tried telling us to go on leaving her at the hospital. “If we are going to leave you here, I would leave you under heavy surveillance. I can't let you go missing again. We can't trust anyone at this

Chloe’s POV“What plan do you have towards achieving the task given to you?” Amber said to me. It was a calm day, I was just enjoying my sanity until my mum remembered that she had given me a task to split Azek’s family. She asked for my progress so far on my plan, but I wasn't ready to reveal my plan. It was a cool evening, I sat in the living room watching some TV shows, laughing, and drinking a cocktail. Generally enjoy my evening. When I heard my mum’s voice thunder down from upstairs. My good and calm evening was ruined in an instant. “This is the fifth time I am asking for this. You have limited time in this house if you don't get that simple task done. I don't get what is difficult about separating that good-for-nothing girl’s family” Amber said spewed her words with mockery all over her sentences. I couldn't blame her cause it was her nature. She was bent on traumatizing me as far as I lived with her. This was my last stray and after this, I won't be her puppet anymore. She

Mia’s POV “We are now divorced, I need a separate apartment to seal the deal and further agitate the entire scenario,” I said. Azek stopped in his tracks, turned to me, and stared at me in confusion. His expression told me he didn't like that idea. And he thought I was taking this divorce thing too seriously. It was the following day, We were back at the hospital. The air is filled with the stench of drugs; balms and syrups. The indistinct chatters of patients trooping in from the main entrance into the reception flood into the wards echoing down the hallway. Natalia was getting better and she was very close to being discharged. We spent some quality time together. The hope and unity we once shared were starting to come back into our minds. “What do you mean, so you want to leave the mansion or what ?” Azek asked in a slow-paced speech. His eyes scanned my countenance for any clue of my answer. I sensed the fear in his eyes. He was just trying to get comfortable with the whale st
