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

Azek's POVI can feel my stomach rumble as I step out of the car, I spoke to Reed this morning and we both agreed to meet each other at this restaurant to have breakfast and discuss the meal. Since Mia is sick, there's no way she will be able to prepare food. Besides, I'm already used to eating out.The manager of the restaurant was already there waiting to welcome me. He stood there with his head bowed as well as some waitresses. I simply walked into the restaurant without paying any attention to them."Good morning Master Ford, it's such an honor to have you here in our restaurant dine here this morning. It's such a great privilege, we do not take this for granted in any way." He said but I only waved my hand at him, I'm not interested in anything he's saying. All I want to do is eat my food, get to the company, and bury myself in work like I always do. I was escorted to the VIP section where I'm sure Reed was already waiting for me, I got there and shook my head."You could not eve

Azek's POV "Liam, are you sure we should do this? We are going to need to cross the road to go over to the other side, and I don't want to do that. Mummy is going to be mad at us when she finds out we left the supermarket. And she will be more mad when she finds out we crossed over to the other side." Lewis said and Liam slapped his hand over his forehead like a frustrated old man."Can you stop being like this? You need to be brave if you are ever going to do some things and going over there is one of them." Liam said trying to convince his brother but Lewis seemed to be reluctant to do anything. He's not as brave as his brother and honestly, he doesn't wish to be. Being brave is scary and he doesn't like that."What are you so busy looking at? We should head to the company already, let's get the meeting done with so I go crash at home. Azek are you even listening....." He was saying but I shut him up."Shhhh," I said and Reed was wondering what was happening, he could see me lookin

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
