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

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

Agony and Despair Azek’s POV As I drove, I prayed that my life would just end in a flash and that all this tension in my soul would leave me to rest in unending peace. The urge to allow the darkness to swallow me grew stronger. What was I living for if the one I loved was drifting away from me? The way Mia looked at me, I knew deep down that Mia still loved me, even if it was the slightest it was all I needed to get to her. Reed's betrayal cut me deep, twisting the knife to create a wound that might never heal. My heart was filled with regret as I remembered our deal. I didn’t expect him to go this far. It was supposed to help me, not worsen the case. “Reed, why are you doing this” I shrieked as I hit the steering wheel repeatedly in agony. Images of Reed and Mia in each other's arms making out flashed before my eyes. These illusions felt so real they seemed like I was seeing the future. If things continued like this, Mia and I might end up divorced. I would be finished for Goo

Self HateMia’s POV “What have you done to yourself !” I screamed as I realized who sat on the couch in the corner of the living room. The smell of alcohol pierced my nostrils like the foul smell from hell. My eyes rigorously scanned the room in panic and fear. This wasn’t what I wanted, why would all this be happening in the shortest period? I couldn’t understand the reason Azek did this to himself, What the hell was he thinking? I watched as saliva drooled down his open mouth. Every ounce of sanity had left him. He sat there, a shell of the man I once knew now a half-dead human. His spirit suffocation and drowned under the weight of despair. This isn’t the man I fell in love with, the Azek I knew was buried beneath layers of regret and pain, I thought to myself. This isn’t what I expected him to do. I expected a solid confrontation or effort toward bringing our marriage back to its new glory. I stood there frozen in place, confused about my marriage. Should I leave him? Or s

Morning AfterAzek’s POVI fought so hard to open my eyes that were as heavy as clay bricks. My head throbbed with severe headaches like I was shot at the back of my head. My headaches were evidence of a dreadful night. Filled with agony, despair, and pain. Leaving a scare in my brain to forever haunt me. I tried to remember what had happened last night. But each time I try, I get a blurry and hazy replay of some unrelated clips in my head. Worsening the headaches. So I stopped trying. My breath and clothes were wrecked with the stench of alcohol. The smell of a wasted soul fighting depression. The house, was so still and quiet, like a graveyard in the middle of the ocean. The quietness felt heavy like the little bits of pain and despair I could partly recall, Vague but harsh and taunting my mind. I looked around, searching for some clue to remind me of the event that took place the night before. My eyes caught sight of Mia, who was knocked out cold on the chair a few inches c

Mia’s POV The morning came with happiness, as I had prayed the night before. Azek felt better and even more like a changed man. My marriage has seen little light shine on it. The flickering light of hope in the darkness that swallowed my heart in emotional trauma. As I walked towards the door, all the exciting events replayed in my head in a split second. Contentment and joy filled my heart. I was grateful that my little prayer I said out of despair and fear was finally becoming a reality. “I am coming” I said as I walked briskly to answer the door, the distance felt like a mile as I ran my mind through numerous things. Azek just watched me walk to the door, he seemed as if he too was thinking about all that had happened. His skin still pale, but his cheek red with what I suspected to be blush. His reddish eyes starting to clear up. I expected a serious hang over after his drinking episode yesterday, but he seemed fine. I opened the door, to my relief and happiness it was Natali
