Azek’s POV The moment Chloe walked in that door, I knew something bad was about to happen. The expression on Chloe’s face screamed evil, danger, and doom. I couldn't breathe properly, my hands became sweaty, and my eyes widened. Could this be the end of my marriage? Who did Chloe find out that Mia was here? Was this just a mere coincidence? I looked at Mia, she had a confused look on her face.I couldn't utter a word. I just stared at Chloe thinking what her next move would be. Chloe had this evil smirk on her face. She indefinably came for trouble. “Hello Azek, what a pleasant surprise,” Chloe said to me still having her evil smile. I couldn't control my eyes. They blinked aggressively and my teeth noshed together. Further preventing me from saying anything. Mia looked at her and then turned to look at me. I was speechless. “Mia, this is Chloe your twin sister” a sentence finally left my mouth. Chloe turned to Mia and said “Hey sis, I see your life is going smoothly, how are

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

Azek’s POV Reed was trying to make his way to Mia. He was using her most vulnerable state to get her. I felt betrayed. “Why would he do this to me, well, It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have put Mia in such a state,” I said to myself As I walked up the stairs in shame and growing hate for Reed? I heard someone come into the mansion. I didn’t care who it was, I just continued walking up the stairs. I was only thinking about how to make Mia love me again. “Reed !, you asshole” I screamed in my head. I didn’t want Mia to be more upset. I decided not to confront Reed in her presence. Deciding to go upstairs and not say a word. It was the best option. When I got to my room, I dropped my bags and sat on the bed. Thinking of my next move. 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

Mia’s POV A lot was going on in my life at the moment. One day, my happy marriage turned into a failing one. Lilian was fed up with all Azek was doing. “You deserve better, honey, just leave this man. He doesn’t want your happiness. He just wants to be heartbroken” Lilian said, raising her voice. “Please, Mia, just try not to think about it. Your health is more important. Your kids need you. Please be here for them” Lilian said referring to my health condition. I wasn’t supposed to be triggered by sadness or anger. I was handling my emotions well, but my countenance showed how heartbroken I was. Reed came back downstairs and said to me “Cheer up honey, don’t allow his behavior to break you and deprive you of pure happiness. You have the purest heart a person anyone could have. You deserve happiness to the fullest. Please cheer up, we all love you”. Both Reed and Lilian’s words were so calming, and my anxiety reduced as I heard each of them encourage me. Truly, I was loved and A

Azek’s POVHer scream pierced my soul so badly that I couldn’t reply to the question. “Mia …” I said as my words got stuck in my mouth. “If you don’t know what to say, just let me sleep please,” Mia said to me harshly.I wanted to speak with Mia, but my self-confidence had fizzled away. I didn't understand why, but I just couldn’t speak fluently. This annoyed Mia the more, and she settled into sleep. I tried tapping her again, but she just ignored me. “What is precisely your annoyance” I asked Mia I asked in frustration, I wanted Mia to see my efforts in making our marriage work. I couldn’t just keep quiet and avoided me like a plague. That would work, it would only increase the tension I have with her already. “Chloe didn’t tell me who she was that night, and I was badly drunk,” I said, trying to reduce the accusations laid on me. “So how do you explain her knowing your office, that means she has been there severally” Mia argued“I swear, Mia, we don’t have any affair togethe

Mia’s POV The morning came without happiness. My heart grew heavy by the hour. I just couldn’t bear the sight of Azek. My sadness turns into annoyance. As I turned to Azek’s side of the bed, he wasn’t there. That side of the bed looks like he didn’t sleep on it. “Did he even sleep ?” I asked myself a bit sad that he couldn’t sleep because of the way I talked to him that previous night. I managed to get out of bed and decided to check on the boys. I was surprised to meet Azek in the boy's room getting them dressed for school. “Good morning mummy,” Lewis said as he saw me at the door. I smiled and nodded. I still felt a bit drowsy from sleep. “How was your night, hope you slept well,” Liam asked with a big smile. “Am fine my babies, I'm just feeling tired. Maybe I need more sleep” I said as my eyes still felt heavy. I struggled to keep them open “my love, you can get some rest. I’ve got you covered today” Azek said as he helped Liam wear his shoes. Why does he even bother, c
Twice Married 88
Azek’s POV As I pondered over how Mia acted in the morning, I felt my heart getting crushed under the weight of guilt. My love life was now hanging in the balance. Lingering on a single strand of connection. Lewis and Liam were the single strands of connection that I and Mia had. Without them maybe we won’t be together anymore. Mia wasn’t anywhere close to forgiving me. Additionally, the fear of Reed succeeding in his attempt to take Mia was eating me from the inside out like a termite. The only thing I could think about was my plan to get into Mia’s good books once again. How do I make her reconsider my love for her? And see my pure and determined decision to give her a trauma-free life. As I drove, my mind zoned out intermittently making me lose concentration on the road a couple of times. All I could hear were the echoes of Mia’s voice telling me to leave, and let her live a stress-free life. The pledge I made at the hospital had started haunting me like a plague. I was sudd

Mia POV My conversation with Reed felt like a happy in my heart. His words, his flirty tone, and the way he looked at me all made me feel like I had been deprived of happiness for a long time. I laughed so hard until my lungs began to ache from the pressure of laughing. Reed was truly a gentleman. Every minute I spent with Reed brought me closer to asking myself why I married Azek. I felt I needed Reed, but instead, I kept reminding myself about my marriage to Azek. This confusion I was experiencing, made the happiness less enjoyable. Likeness for someone usually felt butterflies in one’s stomach, but this one felt like ants. A sweet pain I couldn’t describe fully. I loved Azek, but I hated the emotional trauma that came with loving him. On the other hand, Reed was as lovable as Azek maybe a bit more, but I couldn’t be with Reed because I was married to Azek and that fact ate me up mercilessly. A few minutes into our drive, we came up to a crossroad where the traffic light showed

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

Chloe's POV“What is wrong with Marcus?” I asked myself these questions expecting a vivid answer, but they remained floating around in my mind. All my efforts in contacting Marcus kept heating dead ends. The psychological pressure made me flutter, draining my confidence and gradually bringing me to the brink of anxiety and fear. Failure wasn't an option at this point, additionally I had come too far to give up now. My conversation with my mom led me to see the eruption of the concealed desperation she has been holding in. 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. I guess being the soul Bond between family at critical times was exhausting. Despite the settled feeling of comfort and safety, my mind was still roaming, my heart pounding with anxiety about Azek’s condition. I wasn't sure if he had been moved or if he was still at

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. He glanced at me with hesitation and concern, she

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

Mia's POV Daniel’s sudden appearance made the room grow in tension. His shaky hands, widened eyes, and standing hair all have off the unnerving heaviness that filled the room. “You all have to leave now !, like immediately move” Daniel exclaimed, breaking the awakened silence that accompanied his entrance. He puffed like he sprinted all the way here. “What do you mean?” I asked Daniel, my voice filled with dread and fear. I'm a split second, my mind raced through the worst scenarios. Daniel's urgency was about Chloe, but he was too unsettled to explain. “Calm down, breathe, and explain to us what you mean,” Natalia said, she was confused by his unusual behavior and words. Daniel took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He closed his eyes and took some time to breathe. He shortly opened his eyes and spoke, this time a bit calmer. “I went to talk with someone who knew Chloe very well – Marcus, he said Chloe is planning something huge and would strike anytime soon. She might com

Mia’s POV “Hey boys, you both need to stop playing around. There are a lot of things you would rather not break in here” I said to Liam and Lewis. They both were playing happily in the wardroom where Azek lay on his sick bed. The tension in the hospital had reduced after the news of the brain scans and Azek’s response to treatment and overall improvement in his health. They seemed a bit happier after they spent some days with Natalia back at the mansion. I watched them play and smile despite the traumatic situation we found ourselves. I glanced at Azek; he, too, was enjoying the sight of the boys playing; I could see him wish he could stand up and join them to play. His eyes were fixed on the boys, and gradually a wide and bright smile grew on his face. It’s been a few days and I still haven’t gotten any word from Daniel. He told me about his plan to look for someone who had valid information about Chloe’s whereabouts. Well, maybe he hasn’t found someone yet. I said to myself, tryi

Daniel's POV I exclaimed out of excitement in my mind, but I held my composure. I couldn't afford to celebrate too Early. We still had bigger fish to fry. “ I need everything! Where is she hiding, who is her possible alias, and what's her next move? I need it all Marcus !" I exclaimed! He leaned forward resting his cuffs on the metal table. I immediately brought out a small jotter and a pen ready to take notes. “ She's been lying low in an abandoned penthouse in the East of town. And as for her next move she's currently spying on Mia and her family at the hospital. She might have sent someone to poison Mia already. She has been talking about me for weeks, and if that doesn't work, she plans to go to the hospital herself,” he revealed. As he spoke, I wrote down every detail I deemed useful. My stomach twisted, and my ears hurt from listening to him. “So how do we get to her, storm the penthouse? Or do we wait for her to show face at the hospital? And how soon do you think she wou
