Author's POV The police walked to Azek, with a gloomy outlook."Mr. Azek, you need to go down to the station with us to make a statement," one of the police said.Mia clung tighter to his arm."But he has just been discharged from the hospital," Mia said in protest. "He needs rest."The officer's expression softened just a little."I know, ma'am, but we have a backlog of cases, and we need to act fast. Your statement, Mr. Azek, is the key to having a solid case against Chloe ."Azek carefully freed himself from Mia's clutches."I'll be okay, Mia," he said. "I will go with them and just get it over with."Mia looked at him with concerned eyes."Are you sure?" she asked.Azek nodded. "I'll call Daniel to meet me at the station, and I'll have him keep an eye on things. And I'll also call Natalie to come keep you company."Mia's face relaxed a fraction. "Okay," she said, her voice barely audible.Azek drew her into a light embrace."I'll be back soon, promise. And Chloe will be locked

Mia's POV I fell into a fitful sleep, still wrapped in the warmth of Azek. However, my mind decided otherwise and decided to betray me with a nightmare.I found myself standing in a cold, wet cell. The blackness wrapped itself around me like something palpable. Chloe stood before me, her eyes shone with evil, and her wrists and ankles were bound in thick chains.She began laughing maniacally."You think you're free now?" Chloe sneered her words spewing with the venom of a snake. "Just you wait."Her chains rattled as she took a step closer, her eyes burning with hatred."You will never be free from me, Mia," Chloe hissed. "I will always be inside you, haunting you."Trying to step back, my feet felt rooted to the spot. Chloe's laughter grew louder, more menacing.Then, in a burst of images, Azek's face appeared before mine, and the love and protection emanating from him cut through the darkness.I felt a surge of strength as I stood tall and faced Chloe."You'll never win," I whisper

Mia's POV With a slam, I banged my hands on the desk, my voice echoing through the cold clinical room."What was that?" I asked, anger dancing in my eyes.Chloe's smirk continued for a minute before she continued."You know, Mia, though Azek wronged you, he still loved you. What about me?" Chloe spat enmity. "I grew up with that godforsaken mother, who made things difficult for me."My anger boiled over."I didn't have it easy either, Chloe!" I shouted, my voice trembling. "I grew up with adoptive parents who treated me like trash. And I still turned out fine. Your excuse isn't valid!"I leaned forward, my eyes fixed on hers."You're not a victim, Chloe. You're just wicked. Don't blame that on anyone else."Chloe's face twisted, her eyes flashing with hate."You don't understand," she spat."Understand what?" I snapped. "That you're a sociopath who manipulates and hurts people for your gain?" Gegar: Chloe smiled, and a chill ran down my spine. "You'll never know the truth," she wh

Mia's POV I trudged upstairs, my legs heavy with fatigue, and entered our room.Azek emerged from the bathroom, his muscular body glistening with droplets of water, a towel wrapped suggestively around his waist.His eyes darted to mine like pointed arrows."You're back?" he asked, in that deep voice of his laced with concern.Azek approached me, his eyes narrowing as he inhaled deeply."Strong wine," he muttered, furrowing his brow. "You are drunk?"His tone was amused and curious."Do you let Daniel let you drink?" Azek asked mirth dancing in his eyes.I felt my cheeks rise with color, my heart fluttered at the bottom of my chest."Maybe a little," I said, words slurred.Azek's face softened then."Let me bathe you. You smell of alcohol."I nodded my head, thankful for his thoughtfulness.Azek's light touches sent ripples down my back.Azek took me to the bathroom, his waist tantalizingly wrapped in a towel.He undressed me so delicately; the tracing of his fingers over my skin sent

POV - AuthorThe cool tiles were a stark contrast to the hot water and she gasped a little at the sensation. Azek took her wrists, pinning them against the wall above her head, his eyes intense. "Just relax and let me take control," he murmured.With that, he leaned in and started kissing down her neck, lips tracing down her collarbone and sending pulses of pleasure through her. Mia was feeling the thrill of being in place, completely at his mercy. The feel of his mouth on her skin was electric, and she couldn't help but arch her back, demanding more."God, you feel wonderful," Azek muttered as his gaze rose to hers and he continued his exploration. His hands wandered over her sides, fingers trailing over her curves, teasing as he moved downward."Don't stop," she insisted, breathless, as his mouth continued its voyage of kissing a path down her body, the water pouring over them like a sensual veil.He savored every inch of her, taking his time, while Mia lost herself in the moment.

Authors POV The tension between them grew as if the world was receding further away, lost in each other's eyes. Mia could feel the pressure of building up tighter and tighter, the heat between them reaching an inferno."I'm so close," she gasped breathily."Let go for me," Azek growled lowly and sultry as he quickened his pace, their bodies gliding in some feral dance of passion.With one final thrust, the world exploded in a kaleidoscope of pleasure, and Mia cried the sound echoed off the walls as wave after wave of ecstasy crashed over her. When he let loose inside her, it sent her spiraling further into this euphoria as she went fully into the moment.As they both came down from the high, rain continued to fall outside; the sound was soothing. Azek collapsed beside her, panting for breath as their bodies were slick with sweat and water. "Wow," Mia murmured, a satisfied smile on her lips. "That was incredible."Azek smiled, brushing a wet strand of hair from her face. "And we've s

Author's POV Mia stirred, her leg catching him, and she felt him instinctively tighten his hold on her. "You okay?" he murmured in a low voice of one caught in sleep."Yeah, just getting comfy," she replied, tugging the corners of her mouth up into a smile. "I could stay like this forever.""Me too," he said, his tone husky from the pull of sleep, "it feels. Right.She lay there, wrapped in his warmth as the world outside receded. The storm had picked up a little; the wind howled softly but added to the intimacy they shared. They were cocooned in their little universe, untouched by the chaos of the outside world.Her eyelids grew heavier, their comforting weight tugging her down into sleep. She turned her head just before she let herself completely go, her gaze upwards to Azek. His face was soft in the dim light, his expression relaxed and at peace. "You're something, you know that?" she whispered.He opened his eyes slightly, and a sleepy smile spread over his lips. "Only because of

Each word echoed in my brain, reminding me of the promise that I had made to him.Mia broke into my thoughts. "Do you think he's capable of changing?" Her brow was furrowed with worry.I clenched my teeth, unsure. "I want to believe it's possible," I said at last.Azek's face had turned contemplative. "People can change, Nat," he said. "But it takes work. And Reed's got a long way to go."Daniel nodded in agreement. "He's got to prove himself, not just to you, but to all of us."I nodded, knowing they were right.

"Reed's got a lot to answer for."I sighed."I know," I said. "But I need to understand why."Daniel's expression softened."All right, I understand," he said. "But promise me one thing.""What?" I asked."Promise me you'll keep your guard up," Daniel said, his eyes serious.I nodded."I will."The ride to the prison was dead silent as my mind created images of Reed.What was it that had driven him to such decisions?And would I ever truly, fully forgive him?We pulled up and Daniel cut the engine off."You ready?" he asked.I took a deep breath in."Yeah."Daniel walked beside me, his silent presence that of someone who'd be there whatever happened.We move

Mia's Pov Today was the day of Chloe and Reed's hearing. By now, Azek was fully recovered and stood beside me, his hand clasped tightly around mine as we stood outside the courthouse. The morning sun cast a gold glow.Liam and Lewis were clinging to Natalie, their small hands clasped in hers. "Mommy, what is happening today?" Liam queried. I squatted beside them. "Today, Chloe and Reed will be sentenced," I told them. Lewis's eyes went wide. "Will they go to jail?" I nodded. "Yes, baby. They will."Natalie's face went hard. "They need to suffer for what they did." Azek's jaw flexed. "They will." As we started to enter the courtroom, Chloe and Reed scrambled to get themselves prepared.

---------Mia's POV I felt my world crumble as Azek's body hit the floor. "No! Azek!" I screamed, Lewis, clinging to me in terror.Daniel rushed to Azek's side, his face ashen. "He's been hit!"Inspector Thompson barked orders, securing the area. "Get a medic in here, now!"Rachel's voice came through the comms device, laced with panic. "Azek, no!

Mia's POV My heart stopped as I stared into Liam, my face a mask of horror."A bomb," Daniel whispered, his eyes bulging in terror. "They've strapped a bomb to him."Azek went white. "Get away from him, Mia."But I was frozen on the spot. My child, my innocent Liam, was standing before me, a ticking time bomb strapped to his chest.Reed laughed hysterically in the warehouse. "You'll never leave this place alive."Kuznetsov's voice was laced with malice. "The programming includes a self-destruct mechanism. Anyone tries to remove the bomb, it detonates."Inspector Thompson's voice was steady and calm as it came through the comms device. "Bomb squad, move in. We need a defusal expert, now."Liam's eyes locked on mine, a faint glimmer of recognition flickering."Mom," he whispered, his voice barely audible.Tears streamed down my face. "Liam, baby, hold on."Daniel slowly made his way over to Liam, his hands held out. "Liam, don't move. We're going to get you out of this."Azek's eyes ne

Mia's POV As we left the hospital, the weight of the note settled heavily in my mind. "You'll never find them." Reed's taunting words echoed through my thoughts, fueling my determination. Azek's hand remained wrapped around mine, a steady anchor amid chaos."We'll find them," he repeated, his eyes detecting, I knew, my skepticism. "Reed thinks he's smart, but he's left trails. We'll follow them to wherever it takes us."Inspector Thompson nodded in assent. "We'll go through every shred of evidence, every possible connection that there might be. We will leave nothing unturned."Daniel fell into step beside us, peering at his phone. "I have a lead on Reed's financials. He has been siphoning money to an offshore account."Azek's grip on my hand tightened. "That is our first break. Let us see where it takes us."The investigation was taking shape, but the more the hours passed, the more anxious I felt. Where were Liam and Lewis? Were they scared? Were they safe?As we approached Azek's c

Mia's POV My phone rang, shrill in the tight atmosphere. "Mia, it's the hospital," the nurse said. "Natalie's awake. You should come." I turned to Azek. "Natalie's awake. I need to go." Azek nodded.

Azek.""What happened?" Azek asked; his voice was laden with concern. Natalie's gaze drifted, remembering the events. "Reed. he came. Took the kids." she stuttered. The look of shock widened Azek's eyes, and I felt like I'd been punched."Reed?" I echoed in disbelief. Natalie's voice shook. "I tried to stop him. but he overpowered me." Azek's face went white. "Why Reed?" he whispered. Natalie's tears began to fall. "I don't know. He said something about teaching you a lesson."My mind was reeling. R
