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

Chloe’s POV “It's time to move to phase two of my plan, Mia should be by herself now,” said Amber who sat in the dining room. She kept calm after seeing the news of Mia and Azek’s divorce. She didn't insult me for a whole twenty-four hours and I was surprised but I suspected it. She only wanted me to do what she had instructed me to do, and all those insults were just ways of pushing me. It was a cool morning, twenty-four hours after the news went viral. The air was fresh and the house was quiet and calm. The only sound breaking the science in the house was the sound of the TV broadcasting shows. Amber and I relaxed in the living room having a recap of my plans. She seemed impressed but I knew it was all for show. “You proved yourself, I thought you were not making any plans towards the instruction I gave you. But you proved yourself and am proud” Amber said calmly and with an evil grin on her face. I knew all these words were made out of the hypocritical heart y mu had. She was no

Mia’s POV“It's almost time, I don't want to miss another opportunity to be reunited with my boys” I yelled at Azek who was delaying. He had told me not to go there alone. At this point, I didn't care if I went there alone or not. I just wanted to get my boys. This was the last opportunity I had. The more I pondered over the situation the more I got lost in thoughts of despair. We were still at the hospital, with so many things to do, Natalia’s discharge was still processing, the police were still a mile away from the hospital, and Azek needed to finish making the necessary preparations for the exchange. He was already worked up, his eyes deprived and his face squeezed from so much frowning and thinking. “Mia, I won't let go there unprotected, we don't know what Chloe has in store. What if she had another plan to whisk you away too? I can't lose you or anybody again. Please just stay put and allow me to put things in place” Azek's words stuck me hard. He was already traumatized. His

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

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

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

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“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
