Twice Married 62
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

Mia's POV I returned to the kitchen and took care of the dishes while Azek followed the kids to the bathroom to bathe them. I watched as they talked about their plans to have the most beautiful bath session ever. Makes me wonder if I still have any sort of relevance as regards the kids, my ringing phone jolted me back to reality and I quickly picked up the call."Are you planning on ignoring me for the rest of your life?" She asked me and I laughed softly, I could use a really good laugh at this point."You are crazy Lilian, you know that will never happen even in a million years," I said and she laughed too. I contemplated telling her about the kiss that took place last night between me and Azek but then I reconsidered that, she's going to make my life a living hell once she gets to find out. It's already enough that Lizzy is going to have to tease me with it. I can't have Lilian doing the same thing, I might as well just fall and die immediately."How are you doing girlfriend? This

Mia's POV "I don't know what it is you think you heard but trust me nothing is going on or happening. That's Azek being Azek, he's just like you, always teasing me in a really bad way so now stop making such a big deal out of it." I said to her but she didn't seem to buy any of the things I had just said."Do I look like I believe any of the things you have just said now? With what I just heard, it seems you are beginning to get cozy with him. You were even drooling over him, and don't you dare tell me I don't know what I'm saying. I noticed the way you spaced out my friend, so if you know what's good for you. You will start talking right now." She said and I sighed, I can see there's no way I can lie to her and get away with it."Alright fine, we went to the company together and we got back home late. So he begged to sleep over here, I allowed him and then he kissed me." I said and she whistled, I know for a fact that she's about to say something that's not so nice."You kissed him?

Azek's POV I made my way back to the bathroom and the boys were still there having their bath, I didn't know what to say to Mia the other time. I wouldn't even have the guts to speak to her after hearing the conversation she just had with her friend just now. It hurts me to see that I hurt her that much, I was such a fool blinded by hate and my quest for vengeance. I hurt the wrong person and now she can't even forgive me, I hope I will be able to get her to forgive me. Not only that but also got her to look at me the same way."Daddy, you are back, did you ask mummy about the soap this time?" Lewis was the one that asked me and I was forced to smile. I really can't get enough of my children no matter how much I try, I moved to the mirror side and checked for the soap. I was going to ask Mia which of the soap to use, but the kids just told me now that they are allergic to some things and some of the soap there all belong to their mother which makes me wonder which is theirs."Dad, a

Mia's POV I finished from the kitchen and made my way to the room to see what was going on. I saw the kids all dressed up as soon as I walked into the room."Anyone wants to talk to me about what's going on here? Where's your father and why are you both dressed as though you are going somewhere really important? "Well Mom, Dad said....." Lewis was about to say but Liam pinched stopping from talking. Mia doesn't see what Liam does but she can sense he must have done something, she knows her children so well and can tell when they have done something."What is going on here Liam? Did something happen and where is Liam?" I asked and Liam smiled at me, now I could see that something was going on and they were not willing to tell me the truth."Dad went to the main house for a while, why don't you get dressed instead of standing there and asking questions," Liam said and I frowned, okay this son of mine is becoming a thorn in the flesh. Does he think he's the man of the house or what? We

Reed looked up, his eyes ablaze with determination."I'll make it right," he promised.I smiled. "I know you will."We sat down to dinner, the initial uncomfortable silence giving way to halting conversation. Reed shared stories of his rehabilitation and growth, his struggles and triumphs.

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. Was he going to succeed in his quest to be a better man?Or would he fail at it, lose his chance, and never redeem himself?The uncertainty

Natalie's POV I slid into the passenger seat, Daniel's eyes catching mine in the rearview mirror."Still in love with a criminal, huh?" he said, heavy on the sarcasm.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks."That's not fair, Daniel," I said, my voice sure.Daniel's eyes crinkled at the corners."I'm just keeping it real, Nat," he said. "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 P.O.V.Later, I went to prison and met Chloe. "Chloe, I have news. "What is it?" she asked."I'm pregnant," I said Chloe's face softened. "Congratulations, Mia.""I forgive you, Chloe," I said.Chloe's eyes welled up. "I'm going to be an aunt."As I walked out, finally there was closure. A new chapter unfolded for all of us – with love, forgiveness, and a growing family.Azek's lips brushed mine. "We're in this together.""Forever," I replied.Inspector Thompson conveyed congratulations on my pregnancy."Well, congratulations, ma'am."I smiled and said, "Thank you, Inspector.""When will my sister be parole-eligible?""In five to seven years, given that she has cooperated and her behavior has been good," he said.I nodded, wrapping my mind around the timeline."What of Reed?"Reed will do a bit more time since he's an accessory to the crime," Inspector Thompson explained. Azek wrapped arms around me. "Alright?""Chloe will be eligible for parole in five to seven years," I

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
