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
Azek’s POV I have been in the room for some minutes now and I just couldn’t admire Mia enough. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. I held onto her hands, stroking her hand with love and care. “We have smart little boys, they are acing their studies and topping the class. Am happy! My company finally has an in the hands of the boys” I said to her while I watched her sleep. “a time would come when I would have to choose who would take over from me. Maybe I might just put them both as CEO they would make a great team if they work together.” I continued in my excitement. “I just picked them up from school,” I said to her sleeping. I knew somehow that she could hear me even though she was asleep. While I was talking, she opened her eyes, and we smiled at each other. I could see love, care, and happiness in her eyes all at once. “Am sorry, I should let you rest some more” I said smiling. She just smiled back and said softly” Where are the boys?” “I left them with the house
Mia's POV“Hey momma, how are you feeling this morning," Azek woke me up with a soft voice and a gentle squeeze.I opened my eyes to a big bright smile. Azek was beaming with so much joy and happiness. “I got breakfast ready for you, my dear. I didn't know what you would like this morning, so I got the entire menu for you to make your choice” Azek explained, gesturing me to look at the table.I threw a glance at the table in front of me, and nothing could ever prepare me for what I saw next. The table was full of dishes and snacks of all sorts. From fried chicken to hot piping broth soup, chocolate bars, steak, muffins, and cake, Azek has a whole banquet for me. Considering am a cook, he suspected I might get picky, so he got the entire menu.“Wow that is a lot of food, I'm confused and don't know what to pick,” I exclaimed with joy and excitement. “Thanks a lot, Azek, Am blown away by your kind gesture. You just made my morning” I complemented his efforts to make me comfortable.
Azek's POV I had to call someone to prepare the boys because I wouldn't get to the house on time and if I did, they would go late. I picked up my phone and dialed Jessica's phone number. It rang for a while and she picked up. “Good morning Sir, how can I be of help,” she said with a bright happy tone in her voice. “Jessica, I need you to prepare the boys for school. I'm currently on my way to the office. I have some things to attend to”. I requested. My drive to the office was a bit longer than I expected. Maybe the anticipation and anxiety to get there as fast as possible lengthened it, I wasn't quite sure. Eventually, after a long drive, I got to the office. I bolted up the stairs, and a lot of my employees were surprised to see me sprint up to my office. I needed to attend to some VIP client I had waiting for me in the conference boardroom. My family needed me, so I delayed the meeting I had with the clients for some time. I couldn't delay it any further. I got to the boar
