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

Mia’s POVThe minutes felt like eternity, as I sat with Liam and Lewis by my side. Azek would be fine! I repeatedly said in my mind. Repeating those words gave me a sense of hope and courage. Azek can't just leave me with the kids and all the evil of this world, he needs to come back. This turn of events plagued my mind with horrible thoughts. After a while, a nurse came out to the reception area. I recognised her, she was one of the nurses handling Azek. I immediately got up and walked towards her. “Please what are the results of the brain scans?” I asked with a feeble tone. She had a worried look on her face and she let out a deep sigh. “The results are still undergoing evaluation. Once they are cleared the doctor will relay the result to you. Please ma’am be calm and patient and let us do our jobs” the nurse said softly. Her words were intended to calm me down but instead, it increased the anxiety I was running away from. I walked back to my seat, Liam once again said my facial

Mia’s POVAs I walked in, documents and papers were scattered all over the table, the room well-lit and occupied with cabinets and shelves. Was he looking for something? I asked myself. “Please forgive my untidied office, being all over the place for some days now” he said to me as he noticed I was scanning the room. He offered me a seat, his voice had a feeling of urgency and seriousness. I took my seat and looked at him. She ran through a bit of details and information they had gotten from some of the hoodlums they captured at the gunfight. “We need your statement so we can compare and contrast with the information we've gotten so far. So please can you do a little but detailed recap on what happened at the exchange?” he said to me in a very serious tone. I began the tale from when I got the phone call to come get my kids down to the point the kids were released and they tried to shoot at me when I fled with the kids. As I spoke I realized how heavy my words were. Each word fe

Mia’s POVHesitation gripped me as I got to the door of Azek’s ward. I stood there in fear of the uncertainty around Azek's condition. My entire being was tense and the tension took its spread into the atmosphere around where I stood. I must be strong and take anything news I get calmly. If Azek wasn't strong enough I needed to be strong for both of us. I said to myself, After a long battle with fear and anxiety, I opened the door and walked in. Nurses were all over Azek, I watched them fiddle with the machines that beeped loudly. The nurses left the room one after the other, till I was left with the head nurse who walked towards me and took a seat. I looked at Azek who laid peacefully in bed, it took all the strength in me to hold myself from crying. The nurse touched me and gave me a look of pity. “This is a bit heavy to say. But Mr Ford experienced a concussion from the impact of a grazing bullet to his skull” she spoke as softly as she could. Her words came to me with growing

Natalia’s POVThe indistinct chatter of hospital patients thundered down the hallway and into the room where Azek was on bed rest. Mia still sat there holding his hands like he could wake him up. She consistently brushed her fingers against his face. The burden and heavy weight of despair was written all over her face.As I watched Mia intensely, my phone rang. I threw a glance at the screen and saw a familiar number. It was my parents. My stomach twisted when the thought of how Mia would feel hit me. She had never wanted to be in contact with parents. The fear of her losing it gripped me and my chest crushed under the pressure of my anxiety. “Hello ?” I picked up the phone call and tried not to disturbed the tense silence in the room“Natalia?” a shaky old voice said from the other end of the line. The voice sounded even older than I can remember. “We saw the news, hope Mia is ok” my mum added. I was conflicted within me, the relationship between Mia and her foster parents had alwa

Mia's POVI walked into the premises of my duplex with my phone between my face and shoulder as I juggled the goods in my hands.“ Yes, I'll try and make it for the opening of your bookstore,” I said to Nita, my best friend, over the phone.“ Are we still meeting up today?” She sounded disheartened as she already knew my answer.“ I'm afraid not. I have to take Natalie out to shop for dinner gowns, her prom is coming up soon,” I sighed.“ I understand, prom night is every girl's dream,” Nita got lost in her imaginary world. “ It reminds me of my time in school, though nobody liked me,” she said dramatically.“ That's because you are and were crazy,” I spat out.“ I liked scaring and harassing boys. It was fun,” she said. She could be creepy and weird as fuck sometimes.“ Anyway, I'll call you back later on. I'm heading in now,” I said turning the door knob and opening it.“ Alright, see you later,” she blew a kiss from her end and I quickly hung up on her. Crazy.I walked into the liv

A week laterMia's POV“ Mia, do you want to get married? I mean, this is so sudden,” Natalie was worried sick about me getting married. She suspected that something was fishy but of course, I wouldn't let her know.“ Especially since you never told me that you had a boyfriend,” Nita twisted her lips. She didn't believe any nonsense I spewed to her.“ You both shouldn't worry, we were both dating before but it was sort of a secret thing because of his identity,” I clenched the perfectly white wedding gown I was wearing and tried my best to hold my smile up as the make-up artist did her work. Deep down, I wanted to cry but that would have to wait until I wasn't around these two.“ If something is going on, you can always tell me,” Natalie had tears gathered in her eyes already. I waited for the make-up artist to finish up my makeup before getting up to look at Natalie who was on the verge of breaking down in tears.“ Naty, I'm fine. I've told you that I love him and we've been having s
