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

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

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.

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

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.

Azek's P.O.V."No, Azek," she cut in, her voice firm. "You're not going anywhere.

"You're not Superman. You can't save everyone, let alone when you're still recovering. Let the police do their job."I took a deep breath then, knowing that at this stage, Mia was right; I shouldn't take any risks regarding my health."Okay," I finally said, digging out my phone.

"It's time for your physical therapy. We need to get those muscles moving."I finally opened my eyes, catching her bright stare."I don't want to do it," I growled, frustrated and embarrassed.The nurse was sympathetic but smiling. "I know, but believe me, it is part of your recovery process. You want to get back to your family, don't you?"Her words hit home. Mia's voice still echoed in my head, and the thought of being separated from her and the boys just added to my determination.I nodded, clenching my teeth. "Let's get this over with."She got me to a sitting position, and the painful process of exercising my now-weakened muscles began. Every movement hurt, but I kept on going, fueled by this voice in my head that was Mia's.As we worked, my mind strayed to Chloe and the menace she was. I knew I needed

Despite all he had been through He still wanted to provide protection and safety for his family. I spent the entire morning alone in my room, before proceeding to roam the house as everything around me reminded me of Azek. Shortly after, the boys came running to me, as they hadn't seen me since the morning became bright. “Hey Mom, I need some cereal,” Liam asked politely staring at me with big puppy eyes.

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

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.

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.

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
