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
Mia's POV I sat there on the couch as I didn't have anything to do, I was just there staring into the air. Jessica said she was going to do something and then come back to be with me. Since she's my maid and has been assigned to me, she doesn't do anything apart from being with me all the time, lucky her.I brought out my phone as I contemplated calling Lily, she's the one I stayed with while I was here after I left the Ford mansion. I'm skeptical because I don't want anyone knowing I'm back in town especially as I'm trying my best to avoid my ex-husband. I don't want to have to encounter him, and also for the sake of my kids. I want them to keep a low profile as much as possible, I don't want their lives getting complicated because of my past. As soon as Azek gets to know that we have children together, I'm sure he will come here looking for them, and that is the last thing I want right now.Even though I'm yet to come up with the things that I'm going to tell my kids as they are a
Mia's POV I snatched the card from her and read the content. I was shocked to see that the reason he sent all of this was because of me being sick. I frowned because I'm not the person sick but my son, so what exactly is his deal now? I thought to myself. "What's in there? What did he write?" Jessica asked, I could see the curiosity written all over her face. She wants to know things, what a girl! Just like Lilian."Well the boss mixed things up, the letter says I should get well soon. And I'm allowed to take three days off, he thinks I'm the sick one here and not Lewis." I said and her eyes widened with shock. "What! All of this for someone who is sick? I need to get sick since that's the only ticket to all of these things. They all just work well and click." She said and I was even confused at the last thing she said. "You are crazy, aren't you?" I said and she giggled. I stood up and took one of the flowers to the room where Lewis was sleeping. Since he's the sick one. It's onl
Mia's POV I didn't know if it was my eyes deceiving me or if I was seeing the right thing. I have no idea what to think right now, I quickly rushed down the stairs to see for myself who the person was. I didn't see the face of the man. But when he turned, he looked exactly like Azek. And that is the way he walks as well.I got to the entrance of the main house and got inside, I have never entered here through the front door. I have always gone inside through the kitchen back door, I shook my head. My eyes must be playing tricks on me, it must be because I've been thinking about him for the past few days now. Azek lives quite far from here, I checked the address of this place before agreeing to come work here. I had to be sure the kids and I were not going to be seeing him or encountering anyone from that family. So how is it possible that the person I just saw now is my ex-husband? I must be dreaming, what the hell is wrong with me? I scolded myself. "Chef Mendez," the head butler
I could feel my eyes burn with tears, I sniffed so the tears would not drop and thankfully I was able to put my emotions under control and I did just that. I looked away as I stood up to go meet Liam, my son must have been hurt to speak like that. He's not the one to talk but I guess when he finally does, this is the outcome."Liam!" I called out as I knocked on the door but there was no response. He's probably so angry with me that he doesn't even want to speak to me."Liam, I'm coming in okay?" I said and opened the door, I felt really sad and guilty the minute I saw him like that on the bed curled up in the corner. My palm immediately became sweaty as I had no idea what to use as an excuse to defend myself. All these years, I have succeeded in hiding them away from the world. But I guess my kids are not so little anymore and they are starting to ask for answers to a lot of things. I bent down on my knees and carried Liam into my arms, I remember when I had just given birth to him
