Twice Married 45
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

Azek's POV I've not been able to concentrate on anything since I resumed this morning. Everything has been nothing short of frustrating for me. And even though I pretend not to know the reason, I know it's because of my wife. She's the only person that can drive me crazy like this. I have to find a way to make her forgive me no matter what, I just have to try. It's the only thing that matters to me right now, I don't even care about work or all of those things. None of them made any sense to me right now, I was still contemplating what to do when my phone rang. I checked and it was the private investigator I hired to find out about the twins. He must have some news for me and it better be something good."Are they my children?" That was the question I asked him and I'm sure he must be shocked as well. I really can't help but be paranoid about this whole thing."Well I can't tell Mr Ford but, with the information you provided me and what I have here. The chances are high, I forwarded

Mia's POV Immediately I opened the door, I was shocked at the person I saw at the door. And here I am thinking he won't be bothering me anymore. Just who does he think he is to treat me like this? Coming here whenever it so pleases him, I frowned as I placed my hand over my chest. "What do you want now Azek? I'm not interested in any of your silly games this night so please leave me alone already." I said and slammed the door but he was fast enough to catch the door. As though he already predicted my move."Mia please wait, we can sort this out," Azek said and ran after me, but I was in no mood for his nonsense. I had so much fun today, the last thing I need right now is to end my day with a fight especially one with Azek."Mia, I'm begging and asking you to give me a chance to explain all that happened. I know my behaviour can't be excused but you have to at least let me say what I have to say. I've been looking for you for the past five years, I even went to great lengths to have

Azek's POV I heard what she said and I could feel the blood wipe off my face. I bet she's only saying that to cover up and make me mad, I walked close to her grabbing her by the hand. "Mia I know you are mad at me but please don't deprive me of spending time with my children, they are mine and I know it. I had a private investigator look things up and I discovered a few things. First, the kids and I have the same surname. Then secondly, you had them five months after you left. How then can you say they are not mine? That is not fair to them or to me, they have to know their father." I said already feeling angry myself."You had me looked up? How dare you do that? Just who the hell do you think you are to look into my life like that?" Mia asked yelling at me."You left me with no other choice Mia, you don't want to talk to me or give me the slightest chance to even explain myself to you," I said trying to get close to her but, she kept drawing back. "Why do you suddenly care about t

Mia's POV I woke up feeling down, I had such a short night and that was because Azek was very generous enough to ruin my day, and I'm going to kill him for that. I have no idea what to do now, I'm already tired of doing nothing and lying around like this. I heard a knock on the door and walked to the door dragging my feet. I'm already used to waking up so early because of my former job and now I don't know how to undo that."Good morning ma'am," Jessica greeted with her head bowed and I shook my head."You are not going to stop right?" I asked her and she smiled at me not saying anything, I guess I'm just going to have to get used to her addressing me like this no matter how much I try to stop her, she's going to continue addressing me as ma'am. Jessica came into the house and began her work, she went to the room first to see if the kids were sleeping and I felt grateful for her. She has helped me a lot since I began working here and I owe that to her. Soon I heard another knock on t

Mia's POV "Azek what the hell are you even doing? Let me go this minute, you don't have the right to hold me down like this. Leave this place right this minute," I said but he didn't seem to hear me, he wrapped his hand around me and drew me closer to him. He whispered something into my ear but I didn't hear anything he said."I didn't think I would be saying this, but I miss you, Mia. And I suffered so much after you left me, please forgive me. I have suffered enough already, I think that's enough punishment or don't you agree?" He asked me and I was taken aback by his words. As much as I refuse to believe him, I cannot help but feel the sincerity in his voice and the way he is speaking. I was finally able to get out of his grip and walked to the kitchen. I cannot stand him right now, Azek however followed after me. I opened the fridge and grabbed some milk there, I didn't want to speak with him, so I'm going to do everything possible to avoid him. Azek grabbed me and put my back a

Azek's POV We finished eating our food and I decided to come up with a discussion, I'm not sure Mia is going to like this but now is the best time to discuss the issue. "What do you think about going to the main house in the city?" I asked and Mia looked up at me with shock written all over her face but I made sure to ignore and pretend like I didn't see anything. I'm going to allow the kids to be the ones to determine that and I don't want Mia interfering in this at all."What in the world are you even saying? What house are you talking about?" She asked me and before I could come up with anything to say to her, the kids already said something. "Dad you mean to say you have another house in the city?" Lewis was the one that asked and I nodded my head in response to him. I dropped the spoon in my hands and looked at him."There's one thing I would like for you both to know now.

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
