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

The secret Revealed My mind, spirit, and body conflicted with each other. Each of them trying to figure out what was going on with Azek and his recent behavior toward me and the kids. In my head, he was being controlled and I didn't like it. In my heart, it felt like he had a change of heart. But I couldn't figure out why and how. The nice gestures he showed, were like green lights for a better life with Azek and red signals for a dreadful second tribulation with him all at once. I have never been so conflicted in my life. The whole encounter with him the previous day was still difficult to process even after hours. Deep down I still loved him, but I would rather not get myself and the kids into a trap set to make our lives a living hell. I needed to clear the air and resolve the tension between me and Azek, for the kids' sake at least. I got dressed and went downstairs to meet Azek, who was talking to the kids. “Liam and Lewis, could you boys, please go upstairs I and Daddy wa

THE SURPRISE VISITMia’s POV That night was full, with numerous thoughts flowing through my head. I felt like I needed to crack this case so urgently before any more events took me unawares. There was so much to think about. Azek knew more about my past than me. I struggled so badly to get out of bed. My phone rang, I picked up the call it was Azek “Can you come to the office let's talk more and finish what we started yesterday?” Azek requested. “Get the boys ready am sending a driver to drop them off at school and bring you to my office” he added. He hung up and I threw my phone on the bed in anxiety about how the day would go. He was prepared to talk things through. I finally summoned enough courage to get out of bed. “Lewis! Liam! Get ready quick you're going too late for school” I called out to the boys alerting them to get dressed for school. A few minutes later, the driver arrived. He had to wait a little for us to get ready fully. I had to prepare lunch for the

Azek’s POV“Security !, get the paramedics up here now” I screamed at the top of my voice. Seeing the one I cared so much about fall to her doom right before I was a traumatic sight I could never forget in a million years. My adrenaline eels shot through the roof, the burst of energy I had was from the shock of the dread incident that just happened. Security stormed my office in a few minutes, I watched as the love of my life, the one who I longed to be with was carried into the company’s ambulance. “Get her to the best hospital in town” I exclaimed. I rushed to my car and followed the ambulance closely. Maybe I shouldn’t have let all that information all at once. But she deserved to know she had been through a lot. Perhaps I should have spread the facts over some time. I regretted my actions even more. I thought I was getting close to making it work between us, only to make things work. Now, she would never forgive me for what I did if she got any permanent injury from this. I

Mia’s POV All I could see was black. I felt like I was drowning in myself. it tried shouting for help. I tried moving my arms. My body was failing. My mind shutting down. My brain couldn't process the stream of information. All that Azek said was a heavy load in my mind now. Nevertheless, I needed to know the truth behind my past but maybe I need space between each piece of information. I felt a series of gentle squeeze. Someone was holding my hand and crying by my side. “don't go Mia” “We love you” “We need you” The voice echoed in cries beckoning me to wake up. It was Azek crying by my side. He blamed himself for all the trauma I had been through. I could finally move my hand. I squeezed his hand with the little strength I could gather. I felt as weak as a leaf. “it's not your fault” I said but the words didn't come out completely or audible enough. I tried opening my eyes, they were too heavy for me to open. I couldn't move but my hearing was f

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 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.

---------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
