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

Lizzy arrived at the mansion late in the morning, I told her not to come early because I didn't want her to encounter Azek. As much as I don't like what's happening now, I do feel liberated and free. At least I'm no longer hiding from Azek because I now live with him. "Mia!" Lizzy screamed as soon as she saw me come out of the duplex to meet her on the way. I had the head butler pick her up at the bus station, that was the only way I could ensure she didn't get lost. I know how clumsy Lizzy can get, and she doesn't seem to acknowledge it no matter how much I point it out."Lizzy!" I also giggled excitedly as I moved away from the door and ran to hug her. I missed my friend, she was the only thing close to family that I ever had. After my parents changed towards me, I had to take up a job at the mart just to be able to get by and afford some things for myself. That was when I met Lizzy, and to think I separated from her for so many years just to avoid Azek is awful now that I think a

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
