Azek's POV I came back to the conference hall where the meeting was taking place and sat back on my chair. I didn't bother looking at Reed cause I'm sure he will be asking me questions as regards the document he asked me to bring.The thing is I could not go into the office to take the document, immediately I got there and wanted to open the door to the office. I overheard Mia and the kids having a discussion and wanted to listen in, I knew interrupting them would make them stop talking. I wanted to hear what they had in mind to say about me, Mia especially and to say I'm shocked is an understatement. I cannot believe that Mia will defend me the way she did, she said to the kids that I'm a good person. What I don't know now is if that's what she thinks of me, or if she said that to make the children feel good. Whatever the reason might be, I'm glad she said and I feel really good hearing her say something like that about me.I listened as the meeting went on making very little contr

Mia's POV I heard the door open and Azek emerged from the door, the boys were so happy to see him and they all plunged towards him the minute they saw him making me feel a certain type of way. I didn't even know what to think now, the kids are becoming fond of him, and I don't think I'm ready for that part of the whole thing just yet. "How was your meeting?" I found myself asking, I yelled at myself in my mind. What the hell is wrong with me? Now I'm sure he's going to get the wrong idea about me for sure, Gosh I'm so annoying right now. I cleared my throat not knowing what to say or do next at the moment, I felt so embarrassed and could not help but blush."The meeting was fine and went well, thanks for asking. I made sure to keep the meeting very simple, so that way I can come back here on time to spend time with the three of you." He said with a surprised expression on his face. He must be surprised that I asked him that question, the truth is I'm surprised as well."Hmm that is

Mia's POVWe got home with no one in sight, the maids seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the only people I saw her the guards I was really surprised as to what was going on. Because I have no idea what's happening right now, not even Jessica was here to welcome me like usual."What in the world is happening? Where are the maids, Jessica? Where the hell is everyone?" I asked immediately we got into the house, I could feel something was wrong. What's more? Azek isn't saying anything which can only mean he knows about this."Do you mind telling me what's happening here?" I asked him and he placed his hand on my finger shutting me up."Don't yell Mia, the kids are sleeping and you don't want to wake them up. Come let's get them into bed and then you can ask me all the questions you want." He said and I frowned, he was talking so slowly and that seemed to get on my nerves.We got into the room and I placed Lewis on the bed while he placed Liam on the bed. I tucked them into bed aft

Mia's POV The kiss was gentle at first, Azek took control of the kiss and kissed me fiercely. He brought my waist close to his, I didn't know what to do so I made sure to keep up with the kiss. It was as though I had never been kissed before, Well I have only been kissed a few times in my life. And that's all thanks to my husband who has done nothing but treat me like a plague. Remembering how he treated me made my mood turn sour and I instantly stopped responding to the kiss. I detached myself from him and turned away from him."Mia," he called me and I could hear the confusion in his voice. I didn't feel like talking to him or even facing him, I'm too embarrassed and angry to do any of that. I tried to walk away but he held me down and stopped me from walking away. I jerked my hand away from him and continued walking away. "Mia, what happened?" He asked me and I was forced to face him with my eyes shut and my fist clenched together. I didn't know what to say to him at first but

Azek's POV I woke up the next morning and didn't know what was going on. I had no idea where I was or what I was doing sleeping on the couch, only then did I remember what happened last night. I had requested to sleep here in the duplex with Mia and the kids, I remember the kiss and I can't help but smile placing my hand on my lips."Why are you smiling to yourself, dad?" I heard Lewis's voice and I was startled, I jumped up and both boys burst into laughter, I ended up laughing at myself as well."What are you both doing up this early this morning? And you scared me, it's not good to scare your father like that." I said and they both laughed at me again, they must be having so much fun doing this to me."Dad it's already eight in the morning, and we are so hungry. We didn't have anything to eat last night, plus did you spend the night here? On the couch like this?" Liam asked me and I rubbed my forehead with my fingers trying to assimilate all that he was saying to me."Yes son, I s

Mia's POV I opened my eyes and it was already morning, I had no idea what was going on or happening. I don't even remember falling asleep, I closed my eyes trying to remember everything that happened last night. My eyes widened with shock and I immediately touched my lips, this had to be a joke of some kind. There's no way I kissed Azek, that must have been a dream. I stood up from the bed horrified, I made my way to the closet and quickly changed into something much more comfortable. "There's no way I kissed that scoundrel, this must be a joke. I remember calling Lizzy in the dream, she's the only one who can tell me what happened. So yes I'm going to call her right away, I said and picked up my phone to call. I paced back and forth the room waiting for the phone to ring and for Lizzy to pick up his call."Hey Lizzy how are you doing? Don't even bother answering that question, so I called you last night, right? What did I tell you happen? Because I'm thinking what happened last ni

Azek's POV I have no idea why she's laughing but then I decided to join her in the laugh. Whatever is making her laugh must be funny I guess so there's no harm in joining her to have some really good laugh. The kids sat there wondering what was wrong with us, I could see the look on their faces. I didn't know what to do at first to stop the laugh, I guess I will just have to wait for her to stop laughing since she started the laugh."What is wrong with you both? Why are you laughing? Mom! Dad!" Liam called out and we immediately stopped laughing, for a moment I was stunned. I'm not used to the kids calling me dad, and to call us both together feels nice."I'm sorry honey, it's just that I didn't think your father here is such a good cook so I couldn't help but laugh out my lungs, or this is hilarious." She said and I faced her. I can't believe she's saying something like that about me to the kids, is she trying to smear my reputation to the kids?"So does that mean you have never coo

Mia's POV I can't tell what the issue here is but I don't know why I'm reacting to his touch which is honestly driving me insane. I'm not supposed to be like this with him, I'm supposed to despise him. But I've been doing the exact opposite of all of that and I don't like it one bit. I wiggled my way out of his embrace and took out some plates without saying anything to him. I know he's watching me because I can feel his gaze piercing through my body and spreading heat all over my body. I heaved a deep sigh and shook the thought off my head, I'm going to have to check my calendar. My period should be around the corner, that must be the reason why I'm being so unnecessarily emotional which is not even a good thing by the way."We should eat now, I will serve the food," I said pausing in between my words. It took a lot of self-will for me to be able to move my legs, I just feel my legs and my entire body numb. Azek walked closer to me and I almost ran out of the kitchen about to drop

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
