Mia's POV I looked at myself in the mirror and I could barely recognize myself at all. The makeup artist did a really good job, the last time I had this kind of beautiful work done on myself was on my wedding day with Azek. Something I wished never happened but then again, I'm glad that it happened because I would never have been able to give birth to my boys if not for him. And I'm thankful for them every day. I tried the gown yesterday and it was absolutely beautiful, I really can't wait to wear it again, now that I think about it. If a staff like me is looking this beautiful for the event, I wonder what the guests will look like. My boss must truly be the richest man in this country cause there's no other explanation for his generosity towards me in this manner."You look really beautiful Chef Mendez, you look like a bride," Jessica said and I was forced to smile, Jessica does have a way with words I have to give that to her. "Thank you, Jessica, the makeup and the dress are ind

Azek's POV I stood there on the stage as I locked eyes with Mia standing over there. I have no intention of making any kind of speech, I just wanted her to see me and know I'm here with her. And she looks so beautiful, much more than I've ever seen her look. The gown I chose for her looks perfect on her body hugging and highlighting her curves perfectly well."Chef Mendez, do you know the boss?" Jessica asked Mia but she was too dumbstruck and shocked to say anything. Mia looked around and she could see all eyes on her, that was because he was looking at her. They must be wondering what's keeping Master Ford's attention so much. Suddenly everything that has happened since she came here to this city rushed down her memory. From getting her duplex in the mansion, to getting a personal maid down to getting special treatments. The spa, gown, and every other thing, was all Azek and she didn't have any idea. God, how could she have been so stupid? Lily even told her about him moving to a

Mia's POV I tried my best not to cry but I just couldn't bring myself to stop. After I left the Ford mansion back then, I suffered so much after I moved out of the country. I was pregnant with twins with nowhere to go, where the hell was I supposed to go? That was one of the many questions that plagued my mind, and here he is. Pretending as if nothing had happened, he even hired me to be his private chef."Mia, I know I have done a lot of bad things and I haven't been good to you. But I had my reasons, and though they are not valid enough. I need you to please give me a chance and hear me out, please Mia." Azek said, but I was not having any of it. "I really can't believe you have the guts to even call my name, what's the essence of all this nonsense? How dare you deceive me into working for you? What else do you want from me? You never wanted me anyway, I did you a favor by leaving. Why are you still chasing after me, and pretending as though you care about me? I'm leaving now, and

Mia's POV "And who the hell do you think you are to order me around like that? I will go wherever I wish and please, there's absolutely nothing you are going to do about that." I said to him very upset, I could not believe everything he put me through. He still has the confidence to be arrogant to me."I'm sorry that I had to do this Mia, but it was the only way to get through to you. You suddenly disappeared like you never even existed, I looked for you everywhere all to no avail. I did everything humanly possible to find my wife, but no matter where I went or turned to. It's always a dead end, that was why after I saw you in that magazine. I know I had to find you and I did, please give me the chance to make things right with you." Azek pleaded, and even though he sounded pretty genuine. I'm not willing to fall for his lies anymore, I will be simply foolish to do so."First and foremost, you are not my husband. You never were and you never will be, and secondly, I'm leaving this pl

Mia's POV "What do you want Jessica? Now is not the time for that please." I said to her and she walked to me and held me by the hand."Is everything alright?" She asked me and I shook my head things were not alright. With what happened that night, how can things ever be alright? I thought to myself and tears began to flow down my eyes. I can't believe I'm trapped in this place like this, this is nothing but cruelty and I won't stand for it. "Is the boss the boy's father?" She asked me and I nodded my head, I couldn't bring myself to lie to her. There's no point in doing that anyway. "Is it that obvious?" I asked her and she nodded her head as well, I threw my face away. I wonder what will happen right after now. Everyone will begin to talk and I doubt if I can take that, I don't want my kids to be the center of attraction. This simply cannot be happening, all in one night. My life seems to have turned upside down, and the most annoying part is that I can't do anything about it. "

Azek's POV I paced my room like a woman about to have a child. I have no idea what I'm doing but all I can say is that I'm nervous. I can feel the tightness in my stomach and I feel like throwing up. Suddenly the door opened and Mia came into the room, she's not happy as her face says it all."Mia!" I called out her name and moved closer to her, she just stood there like a log of wood not saying anything or making any sound. Mia can feel her bones about to erupt from anger, she didn't sleep well last night. And just when she was about to find the perfect sleep this morning, Azek asked for her. His audacity to even call her name after all he did to her is shocking, to say the least. She thought about the situation all night, and truly she won't be able to leave this place until after one year. She brought out her copy of the agreement that was signed and it's written there. Just the way Azek explained it yesterday, she can't believe she was stupid enough not to read and thoroughly s

Mia's POV I was really surprised to hear what Lewis said and I turned to look at him, it seemed as though he had met Azek before. I looked over at Liam for some sort of explanation, he's the one who always knows what's going on. He didn't look surprised as well, I turned to Azek. I'm not interested in talking to him and I don't want to argue before my kids."I guess you want me to prepare you something to eat now, I will get right to it as soon as possible. Kids go to your room, I will have Jessica come here and attend to you both while I make some meal for the boss." I said not looking at Azek. "Hello Liam and Lewis," I heard Azek say and I looked up in shock, I don't remember ever mentioning the names of my kids. How the hell then does he even know their names, the kids don't sound surprised as well. I know Liam too well, he would have been asking him questions by now if this was not the first time they had seen each other."Can someone please explain to me what's going on here? L

Azek's POV I made my way out of the kitchen, it took me a while to get to my senses. By the time I was in the sitting room, Mia was already gone and she even locked the door leaving me behind. That's an indication she doesn't want to speak to me and I should respect her wish and let her be. I heaved a deep sigh as I walked out of her duplex, I checked for the time and I was already late for the first meeting. But right now, that is the last thing I want to hear or even think about. I'm too engrossed in my feelings to even think straight, I got into the car and the driver drove off.I got to the company and made my way to the conference hall where the meeting would be taking place. I got in and Reed was already there helping me, even though he says countless times that he's not so interested in the company. He really cannot sit back and watch things go bad, can he? I sat there like a log of wood trying to make sense of everything that had been said. But I'm a total lost cause this mo

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
