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. Your father is the richest and most influential man in the entire city, this mansion right here is nothin

Azek's POV I made my way to the room where the kids were to tell them the good news. I'm sure they will be more than thrilled to hear they will be going with me to the company. I can't wait for that to happen really."Hello kids, guess what is happening now," I said to them and they all looked at me wondering what it was I was talking about. Mia frowned at the sight of me, and that made the whole thing even more weird. I didn't think she would be happy seeing me just because I made up with the kids right?"So is there something you want?" Mia asked me and I nodded my head as I made my way to where they sat on the bed. I wrapped my hands around the kids and they hugged me as well."I want to take the kids with me to the company, am I pleased allowed to do that?" I asked and she seemed to be speechless for a while."You are joking right?" She asked me and I shook my head."No, I'm not, the company and everything I own belongs to them and they will rule over it one day. I think it's onl

Mia's POV I made my way to the car with the boys alongside Jessica as soon as were done dressing up. I didn't know what to wear so I tried to dress as professionally as possible. The kids were nicely dressed as well, and we stayed there waiting for Azek to arrive."You look so beautiful ma'am," Jessica said and I smiled blushing, she's fond of always pulling my legs. I shook my head laughing at her remarks, finally, azek decided to show up and I didn't know I was drooling over his body until he walked up to me and snapped his fingers."Do I look so hot that you can't even take your eyes off me? This is truly unbelievable," he said and I scoffed."You are full of yourself, aren't you? So are we leaving for the company or not? You know my legs are beginning to ache me and I might decide not to go anymore." I said threatening him and he immediately became serious."Oh goodness, you don't have to be so serious when you are saying things like this, we will leave now." He said and helped t

Mia's POV We walked through the crowd side by side, hand in hand with each other. It felt as if my long-lost family was finally coming into shape, and I felt some sort of joy in me. Even though I do not in any way imagine a family with him, after everything he did to me, I can hear a lot of people whispering and talking to each other as we walk by."Oh my goodness, I have only seen the CEO of the company one time since I began working here. And that was when I just recently resumed, I must confess that he has truly grown handsome since the last time I saw him. I really can't believe I'm seeing him oh my gosh, he's so handsome." Another person said and they all started talking and spreading gossip within themselves.We walked into the company and all eyes were on us with everyone now talking about the boys. It made me feel happy that my children were now the center of attention, I didn't know what to say or do but I kept my eyes on them and my ears peeled in case someone said somethin

Natalie's P.O.V.As we sat to discuss the aftermath of the consequences, Reed's desperate plea kept replaying in my head. "Wait for me, Natalie." Each word echoed in my brain, reminding me of the promise that I had made to him.Mia broke into my thoughts. "Do you think he's capable of changing?" Her brow was furrowed with worry.I clenched my teeth, unsure. "I want to believe it's possible," I said at last.Azek's face had turned contemplative. "People can change, Nat," he said. "But it takes work. And Reed's got a long way to go."Daniel nodded in agreement. "He's got to prove himself, not just to you, but to all of us."I nodded, knowing they were right. Reed's journey to redemption wasn't going to be easy.As the conversation continued, I could only but find myself in the grip of every word dropping from her lips and wondering about his future.

"Reed's got a lot to answer for."I sighed."I know," I said. "But I need to understand why."Daniel's expression softened."All right, I understand," he said. "But promise me one thing.""What?" I asked."Promise me you'll keep your guard up," Daniel said, his eyes serious.I nodded."I will."The ride to the prison was dead silent as my mind created images of Reed.What was it that had driven him to such decisions?And would I ever truly, fully forgive him?We pulled up and Daniel cut the engine off."You ready?" he asked.I took a deep breath in."Yeah."Daniel walked beside me, his silent presence that of someone who'd be there whatever happened.We move

Mia's Pov Today was the day of Chloe and Reed's hearing. By now, Azek was fully recovered and stood beside me, his hand clasped tightly around mine as we stood outside the courthouse. The morning sun cast a gold glow.Liam and Lewis were clinging to Natalie, their small hands clasped in hers. "Mommy, what is happening today?" Liam queried. I squatted beside them. "Today, Chloe and Reed will be sentenced," I told them. Lewis's eyes went wide. "Will they go to jail?" I nodded. "Yes, baby. They will."Natalie's face went hard. "They need to suffer for what they did." Azek's jaw flexed. "They will." As we started to enter the courtroom, Chloe and Reed scrambled to get themselves prepared. Chloe finally looked at me, a fire of anger and desperation in her eyes. Reed simply cast his face down, shame etched on it.Bang. The gavel fell, and with it, the room fell silent. "This court is now in session." The prosecutor stood, outlining the charges: kidnapping, conspiracy, treason. The evidence

---------Mia's POV I felt my world crumble as Azek's body hit the floor. "No! Azek!" I screamed, Lewis, clinging to me in terror.Daniel rushed to Azek's side, his face ashen. "He's been hit!"Inspector Thompson barked orders, securing the area. "Get a medic in here, now!"Rachel's voice came through the comms device, laced with panic. "Azek, no! Hang in there!"I dropped to my knees, clutching Azek's head in my lap. "Stay with me," I begged, as tears streamed down my face.Azek's eyes flickered open, his gaze locking onto mine. "Mia. Lewis. Safe?" he whispered.I nodded, doing my best to choke back a sob. "We're safe. You saved us."A faint smile crossed his lips. "I'll always. protect you."The medic charged in skillfully checking over the wound on Azek's side. "We need to get him to the hospital, now."They rushed Azek away, and I clung to Lewis as my heart broke.Daniel's arm went around me, his voice barely above a whisper. "He'll pull through, Mia. He has to."I nodded, unable

Mia's POV My heart stopped as I stared into Liam, my face a mask of horror."A bomb," Daniel whispered, his eyes bulging in terror. "They've strapped a bomb to him."Azek went white. "Get away from him, Mia."But I was frozen on the spot. My child, my innocent Liam, was standing before me, a ticking time bomb strapped to his chest.Reed laughed hysterically in the warehouse. "You'll never leave this place alive."Kuznetsov's voice was laced with malice. "The programming includes a self-destruct mechanism. Anyone tries to remove the bomb, it detonates."Inspector Thompson's voice was steady and calm as it came through the comms device. "Bomb squad, move in. We need a defusal expert, now."Liam's eyes locked on mine, a faint glimmer of recognition flickering."Mom," he whispered, his voice barely audible.Tears streamed down my face. "Liam, baby, hold on."Daniel slowly made his way over to Liam, his hands held out. "Liam, don't move. We're going to get you out of this."Azek's eyes ne

Mia's POV As we left the hospital, the weight of the note settled heavily in my mind. "You'll never find them." Reed's taunting words echoed through my thoughts, fueling my determination. Azek's hand remained wrapped around mine, a steady anchor amid chaos."We'll find them," he repeated, his eyes detecting, I knew, my skepticism. "Reed thinks he's smart, but he's left trails. We'll follow them to wherever it takes us."Inspector Thompson nodded in assent. "We'll go through every shred of evidence, every possible connection that there might be. We will leave nothing unturned."Daniel fell into step beside us, peering at his phone. "I have a lead on Reed's financials. He has been siphoning money to an offshore account."Azek's grip on my hand tightened. "That is our first break. Let us see where it takes us."The investigation was taking shape, but the more the hours passed, the more anxious I felt. Where were Liam and Lewis? Were they scared? Were they safe?As we approached Azek's c

Mia's POV My phone rang, shrill in the tight atmosphere. "Mia, it's the hospital," the nurse said. "Natalie's awake. You should come." I turned to Azek. "Natalie's awake. I need to go." Azek nodded. "I'll come with you." He informed Inspector Thompson, "I'm leaving to see Natalie. Keep me updated." Then he told Daniel, "Stay with the inspector, in case anything comes up."We raced to Natalie's room at the hospital. "Natalie," I whispered, clutching her hand. Her eyes fluttered open. "Mia. Azek.""What happened?" Azek asked; his voice was laden with concern. Natalie's gaze drifted, remembering the events. "Reed. he came. Took the kids." she stuttered. The look of shock widened Azek's eyes, and I felt like I'd been punched."Reed?" I echoed in disbelief. Natalie's voice shook. "I tried to stop him. but he overpowered me." Azek's face went white. "Why Reed?" he whispered. Natalie's tears began to fall. "I don't know. He said something about teaching you a lesson."My mind was reeling. R
