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.

Her beauty illuminated our future, her strong soul held us together in love as family. Mia's presence made us connected as a family.

Besides, many people have missed her. So we are letting her go” the doctor said with a massive smile. I was pleased to hear that my angel is well. “So

If I continue like this, I'm going to break the connection we are trying to have. Mia was really upset by my petty attitude. I spent the entire night, tried not to think too much about the whole scenario.The night drifted slowly, maybe it was waiting for me to say a word of apology to Mia for my actions earlier. I got up and walked out of the room to check on the kids. The boys were sound and fast asleep. I need to apologize to Mia. I said to myself while walking back to my bedroom. “Mia, are you still up?” I said as I opened the door. I didn't get a reply, so I walked towards her side of the bed and gently tapped her. She opened her eyes slightly and grumbled. “Leave me alone, I need to sleep,” she said in a grumpy tone. “ I apologize for what I said earlier, I was being petty and immature," I said in a soft tone.

Reed's POV “I will be with you shortly” I said to Mia who was trying to hide her bad mood. I sense she was in serious tears. I knew something was wrong but I was confused.I tried not to judge Azek immediately. He might not be the direct cause for her tears. Deep down, my guts told me Azek had committed another offense that made Mia to break down like that. I drove hurriedly to Azek's mansion, the road was busy as countless cars were out. Workers coming in from work. Making driving slow and difficult. I made use of some shortcuts I knew and got to the mansion some fifteen minutes later. As I entered the building, it was awfully quiet. I guess the kids were not back from school.I scanned the living room looking for any sign of life. Everything looked dead calm. “Hello, is anyone home” I said as I walked in. My eyes caught Mia in the corner of the room. She was crying with her head buried between her arms. “Mia, what's wrong? “ I said as I walked towards her. I drew a chair a

When suddenly I heard Lilian’s voice, she wailed and cried, asking if Mia was ok. She was the one who walked in on my way up the stairs. “What has he done this time, why can’t he just make this marriage work and stop putting you through emotional stres

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.

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.

"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!

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.

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

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
