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
Mia's POV I finally gathered up the courage to leave my room. I spent the last one hour talking to Lilian over the phone, she cannot believe what's happening to me at the moment. According to her, she has only heard of such things happening in movies and has never seen such things happen in reality. "Mummy!" Lewis called as soon as he saw me step out of the room. He's always the clingy one, I have no idea what to say to him at the moment. I just hope Liam doesn't feel like asking me any questions. Because then I wouldn't be able to hide anymore, I promised myself I would never lie to my kids no matter what and would tell them nothing but the truth no matter what happens. "Are you okay with this?" I heard Jessica's voice and I wondered what she was talking about. I looked and was surprised by what I saw on the dining table."What are you doing Jessica? The last time I checked, it's my duty to cook and not yours. What did you even prepare now?" I asked her and she smiled at me with h
Mia's POV I flinched the minute I saw the boys walk into the kitchen with some stuffed toys in their hands. I didn't know what to say as I was confused at the moment trying to wrap my head as to what might be happening at the moment. "Boys, what are you both doing here? What did I tell you about behaving? I'm working and you both should not be here like this, now go back to the apartment with Jessica. Where is Jessica?" I asked but instead of Jessica, it was Azek who showed up instead. I frowned immediately when I saw him and dropped all the things I was holding. Seems it will be impossible to cook this night, I'm also really tired and want to go to sleep as well. I grabbed the twins by their hands and proceeded to leave the kitchen but Azek stopped me, holding my hand and pinning it against the wall."Everyone out now," Azek commanded and everyone rushed outside the kitchen leaving just the four of us in there."Is there something you want for me to prepare for you?" I asked him m
Mia's POV Immediately after I was done with the food, I made my way to the apartment with the boys. Though I know he wants to speak with me, I'm not willing to entertain any discussion with him. "Come here Liam and Lewis, it's time to get you to bed," I said and they followed me to the room, I finished taking care of them and tucked them into bed. The room went silent and I sighed trying not to cry, I looked at the kids on the bed and I couldn't help but feel extreme sadness deep within me. I know very soon they will begin to ask questions and will want to know who their father is. I have no idea what I will say to them then, and given the kind of personality my kids have, they likely start asking those questions right away and that doesn't seem to be anyway good at all. I stood up from the bed and headed to the sitting room, I paused seeing all the toys on the floor."How come I didn't notice this when I came in earlier? What exactly is Azek trying to do? Win me over by buying my k
Mia's POV The next day I woke up feeling a little bit optimistic which is something I have not felt in a while. Ever since this whole thing started, I have been feeling nothing but sad and angry every minute. I stepped into the bathroom to quickly have my bath, lizzy and I agreed she would be coming here to visit plus she was so eager to see the boys. It's been a while since we both sat down to talk or discuss anything. And one thing, I miss my best friend."And thinking of my best friend, I should call Lilian. I doubt if she will be happy that I have another friend and I've replaced her so soon." I said chuckling as I imagined what our reaction would be. I'm certain I can predict the words she might even use."You finally decided to call today, I thought maybe you have forgotten all about me. Since you are now in a new city and you live in that big mansion. You have forgotten your friend of little beginning, how very vain of you." She said and I burst into laughter, I was almost ro
