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.

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

Azek's POV “She had a camera in that room,” I said to myself. I felt like I was suffocating. The love story I was trying to write with Mia was about to be erased all over again. She didn't tell me who she was until the next morning when she told me her name was Chloe.The alcohol was gone at that time, and I was in my clear senses. I realized I just cheated on Mia with her twin sister. Chloe told me a lot about Mia and her past. She even told me how their mother preferred Chloe to Mia as a more promising child.I tried shaking off all the thoughts flooding my mind. Chloe had indeed clouded my mind with stupid thoughts. I would try my best to secure my marriage this time. I wasn't going to allow anything or anybody to destroy the love me and Mia had for each other. She had finally given in to love me, genuinely putting our past behind us. If she found out that I slept with her sister would break her, and it would be rough for her.

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.

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.

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
