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

“ Sir, ma'am, we're here,” the driver of the limo we were in announced as parked within the courtyard. His butler opened the door for him to get down, and he left without saying a word to me.“ Sir, aren't you going to help her out?” The butler questioned. He had to be close to ask such a question given Azek’s temperament.“ Her legs aren't broken, she can get down on her own. Even if they were, she might as well just crawl her way into the mansion,” he shrugged as he walked towards the mansion’s main door - his bodyguards following him.“ Azek is a bit on the cold side so don't take it to heart,” his Butler gave me a reassuring smile.“ I'm alright,” I lied as I beamed at him. He took me by the hand and helped me out. I walked hurriedly in an attempt to catch up with Azek.“ Welcome, young master!” There was a long line of maids and workers bent at an angle of ninety as they greeted. I hadn't expected this at all.” Get Ms. Mendez settled in. Help her get out of her dress and show he

Mia's POVTwo weeks later“ Erm... Aren't you going to have breakfast? I... I made you breakfast but of course I got help from Madam Lisa,” I said feeling awkward. I wasn't sure if I said that I prepared it alone, he would want to eat.“ Jeena, throw away the food she made,” he ordered. He was going to throw away the food I had spent my time and effort making just because he didn't like me. I clenched my fist and fought back the tears that wanted to flow so badly.“ Yes, sir,” the maid was hesitant but she couldn't lose her job because of me of course.“ Don't ever cook for me. I never asked you to, to begin with so stop playing wife,” he frowned. Did he think I was insincere? Besides, wasn't he the one who told me that even if it's just on paper, I should still perform my wifely duties?“ I-I’m sorry,” I stuttered.“ Neo, get the car ready,” he said walking out of the dining room.“ Yes, sir,” Neo, his secretary replied.“ W-will you be back early?” I looked away the moment I asked,

* * * *We got back to doing our duties quietly and eventually, Lizzy's obsession left the store, not forgetting to flash a smile before leaving. Evening came quicker than I had imagined and all I could think of was how to prove myself to Azek. How to make him see that I'm not who he thinks I am and that I would never hurt him.“ The best time in our job is when it's evening. Little customers to attend to and most importantly, time for clocking out is approaching,” Lizzy yawned and stretched in gladness.“ Your eagerness to get off work sometimes makes me wonder why you even accepted the job to begin with,” I chuckled.“ I guess, I need the money,” she rested her head in her palm which was propped up by her arm. “ Mia, lover boy is back,” she whispered as she stood upright. I turned towards the glass door only to see him walking in. He had come back.“ Hello, Mia and...,” he paused looking at Lizzy as he tried hard to remember her name.“ Lizzy,” she reminded.“ Yeah, Lizzy,” he scrat
