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?

Mia's Pov Today was the day of Chloe and Reed's hearing. By now, Azek was fully recovered and stood beside me, his hand clasped tightly around mine as we stood outside the courthouse. 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!

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.

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

Mia's POV My phone rang, shrill in the tight atmosphere. "Mia, it's the hospital," the nurse said. "Natalie's awake. You should come." I turned to Azek. "Natalie's awake. I need to go." Azek nodded. "I'll come with you." He informed Inspector Thompson, "I'm leaving to see Natalie. Keep me updated." 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
