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

ObsessionNatalia’s POV“You could come in for a quick drink,” I said as I ushered Reed in. I walked behind him admiring his muscular physique hiding behind the blue jean jacket he wore. I already started having nasty thoughts flooding my mind just from looking at him from behind. I felt My fountain water a little. I must have him all to myself, I said in my head. I kept staring at him like I had never seen a man before. “Is Mia around? Or Azek ?” His question snapped me back to reality. His question caught me off guard. I didn't have enough time to respond on time. “hello ??” he said again, snapping his fingers. “The name’s Natalia,” I said to him, raising my tone slightly. In a bid to regain composure. “Alright Natalia, is Mia home ?” he asked again. The repeated questioning was getting on my nerves. I frowned at him not noticing a lovely young blood like me. “You know I'm not that different from Mia,” I said seductively still giving him the puppy eyes. “Hmm, is that so?

Azek's P.O.V."No, Azek," she cut in, her voice firm. "You're not going anywhere. You're still recovering and I won't risk losing you again."I blew a raspberry, frustration bubbling."Mia, Chloe's getting closer. I need to""Tell the police," Mia said, an edge in her voice silky smooth and firm. "Let them take care of it. You aren't in any condition to go after her."I knew Mia was right, but something inside me was screaming for me to act."Mia, I-""Azek, listen to me," Mia said, her eyes pleading. "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. "I'll call Daniel and he can let the police know."Mia's face relaxed now, as if in relief."Thank you," she said softly, still holding onto my hand.As I typed in Daniel's number, Liam and Lewis looked up at me

Azek's POV I lay there, eyes closed, feigning sleep, as the nurse came closer. She wasn't buying it, though."Mr. Azek, I know you're awake," she said, her voice soft yet serious. "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

Mia’s POV All through the night I tossed around on my bed, finding it difficult to get some rest. My mind was filled with thoughts and emotions, all pointing to the well-being of Azek. His voice and words from the call, echoed in my mind repeatedly, waking me to a reality filled with dread and trauma. The Determination in his voice gave me a sense of comfort. 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. I gave him a soft glance and smiled “Sure honey, you can have some” I said to him stroking his hair gently. The boys were clueless about the emotional stress I was currently under. I couldn't blame them, after all, they we

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
