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

Reed’s POV“You better cooperate with the police” the prison Warder yelled at me as he unlocked my cell. Since my arrival at the prison, he had always treated me like I was some hardened criminal. But deep down I felt immense remorse for all I had done. I allowed my emotions to push me into signing a deal with the devil without weighing the consequences. I sat on the bunk bed, soaking in the guilt that ate my sanity slowly. All I could think of was the people I had hurt in the course, of executing the will of Chloe. The prison warder informed me that I had an interrogation session with an inspector. Before this, I had undergone multiple interrogation sessions, each one more dreadful than the last. “Hey, step out of the cell and walk down the hallway to the last room on your left” the prison warder directed me like I didn't know the drill. He finished his sentence, but I didn't make any move, I just sat there burying myself in guilt and self-hate. I just wanted to be left alone. “Mo

Chloe's POV“What is wrong with Marcus?” I asked myself these questions expecting a vivid answer, but they remained floating around in my mind. All my efforts in contacting Marcus kept heating dead ends. The psychological pressure made me flutter, draining my confidence and gradually bringing me to the brink of anxiety and fear. Failure wasn't an option at this point, additionally I had come too far to give up now. My conversation with my mom led me to see the eruption of the concealed desperation she has been holding in. Over the course of days, my mom has been calling to pester me. Always questioning my next move, the more I listened to her, the depressed I became. Her alliance with Mr. and Mrs. Mendez made it difficult to think as they were constantly on my neck. Constantly reminding me of my failed past efforts. After some time of thinking about my messed up life, I got a call from the contact I requested to contact Marcus. My phone rang loudly, breaking the silence I sat in.

Mia's POV “Lewis! Liam! Can you both come downstairs and have your breakfast ?” I yelled from the sitting room to the boys who were upstairs playing in their rooms. It was a bright morning, and the light from the sun cast a Golden hue on the house. The tension I and the boys felt on our arrival, had faded into a more comfortable feeling. It was indeed a safe house. As I prepared breakfast, my thoughts drifted into the trauma I experienced at the hospital. Flashbacks of Azek surrounded by nurses and doctors trying to save his life, replayed in my mind. These thoughts drained me emotionally. I had done so many things trying to get my mind off my anxiety, but all my efforts to achieve peace of mind proved fruitless. I guess being the soul Bond between family at critical times was exhausting. Despite the settled feeling of comfort and safety, my mind was still roaming, my heart pounding with anxiety about Azek’s condition. I wasn't sure if he had been moved or if he was still at

Azek's POV “Daniel ?” I asked more to myself than him. I tried to sit upright but the intense pain that surged through my body made it difficult to move. My memory will still foggy, the headache intensified, and my stomach twisted with worry. The young man, who had introduced himself as Daniel was a familiar face. But my current mental State didn't allow me to think. According to his introduction, he knew me and my family, so I decided to ask him about Mia. “Where is Mia ?” I asked him, my voice slightly elevated and strained, “you have to tell me where she is”.Daniel gave a loud sigh before answering me and his face laced with worry and concern. “Stop bothering your mind” he said, “you have to be calm” “Why were they hiding Mia's location from me” I asked myself. Everybody kept telling me to be calm. I was gradually getting to the limit of my patience, as all my efforts to get to Mia proved fruitless. Daniel noticed my anger. He glanced at me with hesitation and concern, she

Azek’s POV“What happened to me” was the question I had been asking myself for several days. I tried shaking off the foggy feeling I felt in my head as I woke up. I blinked countless times, but the haze didn’t clear up. My memory was cloudy, making it difficult to remember anything. The more I tried to think, the more intense this throbbing pain I felt at the back of my head. “Where am I” I finally forced some words out of my mouth after what felt like days of being mute. I have never felt such disorientation in my life. I was blind mentally. I opened my eyes and scanned the room. It was dimply lit, and I could barely hear any sound, except the sound of the heart rate monitor attached to me. “Was I in the hospital?” I blinked countless more times, forcing my articulation to come alive. I knew I was still alive, but a part of my brain felt dead. After a couple of minutes of laying still on the bed, my memories started coming in blurred fragments. Faces and actions of different peop

Mia's POV “Mummy, where are we going?” Lewis asked as we began our drive in the car. I sat there, sandwiched between Liam and Lewis. They both stared at me with confused faces. I couldn't bring myself to explain what was happening. I didn't understand fully. All I knew was Chloe intended to take my life. The more I gave the situation some thought, the more I felt a void form in my guts. Daniel had hurriedly whisked us away from the hospital, leaving Azek without any word of explanation and this was unfortunate for him. What if he started looking for us? His condition might worsen due to our absence. “We are going to someplace safe for now, it's not for long. We will see Daddy soon" I explained what was left of my shattered mind to Lewis. The drive was awkwardly quiet, the only dominant sound was the soft humming of the car engine. Liam on the other side of the car was quietly scanning the road Intensely. He behaved like he could sense that something was wrong. I could see him glan

Mia's POV Daniel’s sudden appearance made the room grow in tension. His shaky hands, widened eyes, and standing hair all have off the unnerving heaviness that filled the room. “You all have to leave now !, like immediately move” Daniel exclaimed, breaking the awakened silence that accompanied his entrance. He puffed like he sprinted all the way here. “What do you mean?” I asked Daniel, my voice filled with dread and fear. I'm a split second, my mind raced through the worst scenarios. Daniel's urgency was about Chloe, but he was too unsettled to explain. “Calm down, breathe, and explain to us what you mean,” Natalia said, she was confused by his unusual behavior and words. Daniel took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He closed his eyes and took some time to breathe. He shortly opened his eyes and spoke, this time a bit calmer. “I went to talk with someone who knew Chloe very well – Marcus, he said Chloe is planning something huge and would strike anytime soon. She might com

Mia’s POV “Hey boys, you both need to stop playing around. There are a lot of things you would rather not break in here” I said to Liam and Lewis. They both were playing happily in the wardroom where Azek lay on his sick bed. The tension in the hospital had reduced after the news of the brain scans and Azek’s response to treatment and overall improvement in his health. They seemed a bit happier after they spent some days with Natalia back at the mansion. I watched them play and smile despite the traumatic situation we found ourselves. I glanced at Azek; he, too, was enjoying the sight of the boys playing; I could see him wish he could stand up and join them to play. His eyes were fixed on the boys, and gradually a wide and bright smile grew on his face. It’s been a few days and I still haven’t gotten any word from Daniel. He told me about his plan to look for someone who had valid information about Chloe’s whereabouts. Well, maybe he hasn’t found someone yet. I said to myself, tryi

Daniel's POV I exclaimed out of excitement in my mind, but I held my composure. I couldn't afford to celebrate too Early. We still had bigger fish to fry. “ I need everything! Where is she hiding, who is her possible alias, and what's her next move? I need it all Marcus !" I exclaimed! He leaned forward resting his cuffs on the metal table. I immediately brought out a small jotter and a pen ready to take notes. “ She's been lying low in an abandoned penthouse in the East of town. And as for her next move she's currently spying on Mia and her family at the hospital. She might have sent someone to poison Mia already. She has been talking about me for weeks, and if that doesn't work, she plans to go to the hospital herself,” he revealed. As he spoke, I wrote down every detail I deemed useful. My stomach twisted, and my ears hurt from listening to him. “So how do we get to her, storm the penthouse? Or do we wait for her to show face at the hospital? And how soon do you think she wou
