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

Azek's POV "What nonsense are you even saying? What do you mean by that? Do you know how stressful it would be to cook for that many people?" Reed asked and I chuckled. "You seem to be more concerned for my wife than me. Anyways, I don't mean she's going to cook all of that food by herself. She's going to have some help of course but, those people are the ones to do the cooking. She will be there to give the recipes and those things that chefs do." I said and Reed nodded his head."Well that sounds like a good idea but are you sure? Especially as she doesn't even know that you are the one behind this whole thing. Will she be willing to do the cooking?" Reed asked me and I smiled as I nodded my head. "Of course, you don't have to worry about all of that. I have everything all under control so you don't have to worry about any of those things." I said to him and we both laughed over it."I will be on my way out now, let me know when you finally show yourself to her. I would like to h

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
