Mia's POV I didn't even realize we were far along, I guess the house is so close to the airport or I was just too deep in thought. I alighted from the car and a sense of familiarity washed through her. It was as though I had been here before, I don't know why but I can see myself being here before. It must be because I've been here for so long, it's safe to say I was missing home. The twins alighted from the car as well and it was obvious that they were amazed by what they just saw. They can't seem to get over the magnificent mansion."This is huge mummy, are we going to be living here from now henceforth?" Lewis was the one that asked and I giggled."Well yes, baby. We are going to live here from now henceforth but, we won't stay here in the main house. We will be staying at the boy's quarter, can you please lead us to the place where we will be staying? My boys and I had a long flight and we are so tired." I said to the driver that brought us after I had answered Lewis. According

Mia's POV "Hi, I'm Mia Mendez," I said as I was overwhelmed, I get this a lot from where I'm coming from. But I didn't think someone would know me this well to be starstruck over here."Oh please! I already know who you are, you don't need to say it to me. I enjoy watching you so much and I'm really glad I will be working for you. When the boss said I would be working for the new chef, I didn't know you would be the one. I have all your cooking magazines and recipes in my room." She said giggling like a little child, one could tell that she was so excited and nervous at the same time."I feel so flattered honestly, thank you for loving all that I do. Looks like you and I are going to be friends." I said to her and I can swear that she was almost crying. I could see her face turn red and I became nostalgic as well. I will get used to it, since one of the maids already knows who I am, I'm guessing all the other ones know who I am as well."Really? This is one of the best days of my lif

Azek's POVI sat back on the office chair as I patiently waited for the meeting to be wrapped up. The person doing the presentation needs to be fast with the whole thing or I might just be forced to fire him. I have no idea what he's even saying as I have not been listening to anything that's been said."Mr Ford! Mr Ford!!" I heard my name being called and I jolted back to reality. I had no idea what he was saying before now, I looked up and my eyes met his. He quickly looked down trying not to look at me, he must have been really scared for his life."Just wrap up the meeting so we can leave this place. I'm sure we all have something to get back to, don't we?" I asked and they all nodded their heads and some of them answered me. Finally, the meeting was over and I was the first person to leave the conference hall, my assistant followed me trying to keep up with me. I have no idea why I'm this nervous but I really can't help it no matter how much I try.I got to my office and sat down

"Are you sure you the boys will be okay here on their own?" She asked me and I nodded my head. "Yes the boys will be fine, you don't need to worry about them. We will be back soon right?" I asked her and she nodded her head."Yes, we just need to introduce everyone to you and then you can also use the opportunity to see the picture of the boss and then you can see what I'm talking about." She said and I felt scared a little bit."Are you for real? He frowns even in pictures as well?" I asked her and nodded her head."Well, I guess I'm going to have to see for myself then," I said and we both laughed out loud. We got to the main house and we passed through the kitchen, the maids were all waiting for me. I felt a little bit overwhelmed as I saw everyone staring at me with so much admiration. I just didn't know how to feel or react to what I was seeing. "Welcome to our mansion Chef Mendez, we are so glad to have you here in our house. I can't wait to have a taste of your mouth-watering

Azek's POV As soon as I stepped out of my car, I felt uneasy. I have been rehearsing in my head the things I'm going to say to Mia as soon as I come face-to-face with her. I have no idea how she's going to react to all of this, she's going to freak out for sure when she knows I'm the one who hired her. I just hope I have good enough excuses and things to say to stop her from hating me so much."Boss, you are not moving. Is anything the problem at all?" My driver was the one who asked me and I jolted back to reality. I didn't even know I had been standing in a spot for so long. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something," I said and made my way into the house as I took each step. My leg became heavy and I was practically dragging my feet with me. This is just so bad and I hope I'm able to handle this well enough. I made my way into the sitting room and the aroma that enveloped me was simply out of this world. I had no idea that something could smell this good. Is it because

Mia's POV I made my way to the apartment, I almost lost my way but I was able to find my way, especially as it's the second building in the compound. Immediately my mind fled to the things I heard the maids say, I began to wonder if they meant what they said or if it was all jokes.I shook the thought of my mind, I should not be lingering so much on it. It's not good for me, I opened the door and made my way to the room. Lewis and Liam were already asleep, and the maid watching over them already slept off as well. I walked over to the couch she was lying on and tapped her on the shoulder, she must be quite tired."Chef Mendez," she jolted up and quickly stood up. I can see she feels embarrassed that I found her in such a spot, I smiled at her making her feel relaxed. "I'm sorry for dozing off, I was just reading them bedtime stories. I don't even know how it happened, I'm sorry. Please don't report me to the boss, he will fire me once he finds out I did something like this." She sai

Azek's POV I sat there feeling nervous as I used my finger to restlessly tap the table. I couldn't even bring myself to eat the food that was served. I have rehearsed this scene in my head a hundred times and yet I'm unable to calm down. I looked around and I could see the maids looking at me, they immediately looked away as soon as our eyes met with each other.Six years ago after I woke up, I couldn't find Mia. At first, I thought she went away to get something which was rare but, I didn't care. My hatred for her back then blinded me and stopped me from seeing how much I loved and cared for her.Later it was discovered that she had left the mansion with some of her things. I found the truth two years ago and I have sought for her ever since. Now that she's just just so close by, I can't help but feel nervous. I wonder if she will want to see or have anything to do with me. But the good thing is, she can't leave no matter what. "Master Ford!" The head butler called out to me and I

Mia's POV "I need you to help me with the information of the person I'm working with right now. I have no idea who he is and what he does, I don't even know what his name is." I said and he heaved a deep sigh, from the look of things. He seems to be aware of the situation or at least knows something about it. I'm just going to have to find a way to get it out of his mouth."Well, you are over there now, right? What's the problem? It doesn't matter who he is at the moment, you are there with him now and you can't come back. You already resigned, so focus on your work." He said and I nodded my head in confirmation, he most definitely knows soothing and just trying to hide it."What are you saying now? Didn't you promise to help me? Just tell me what his name is, and I will take it up from here." I said to him hoping he would say something to me. Suddenly the call got disconnected and I wondered what had happened. I tried connecting the call again but it was unreachable. That means he d

Reed looked up, his eyes ablaze with determination."I'll make it right," he promised.I smiled. "I know you will."We sat down to dinner, the initial uncomfortable silence giving way to halting conversation. Reed shared stories of his rehabilitation and growth, his struggles and triumphs.

Natalie's P.O.V.As we sat to discuss the aftermath of the consequences, Reed's desperate plea kept replaying in my head. "Wait for me, Natalie." 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. Reed's journey to redemption wasn't going to be easy.As the conversation continued, I could only but find myself in the grip of every word dropping from her lips and wondering about his future.

Natalie's POV I slid into the passenger seat, Daniel's eyes catching mine in the rearview mirror."Still in love with a criminal, huh?" he said, heavy on the sarcasm.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks."That's not fair, Daniel," I said, my voice sure.Daniel's eyes crinkled at the corners."I'm just keeping it real, Nat," he said. "Reed's got a lot to answer for."I sighed."I know," I said. "But I need to understand why."Daniel's expression softened."All right, I understand," he said. "But promise me one thing.""What?" I asked."Promise me you'll keep your guard up," Daniel said, his eyes serious.I nodded."I will."The ride to the prison was dead silent as my mind created images of Reed.What was it that had driven him to such decisions?And would I ever truly, fully forgive him?We pulled up and Daniel cut the engine off."You ready?" he asked.I took a deep breath in."Yeah."Daniel walked beside me, his silent presence that of someone who'd be there whatever happened.We move

"Congratulations, Mia.""I forgive you, Chloe," I said.Chloe's eyes welled up. "I'm going to be an aunt."As I walked out, finally there was closure. A new chapter unfolded for all of us – with love, forgiveness, and a growing family.Azek's lips brushed mine.

Azek wrapped arms around me. "Alright?""Chloe will be eligible for parole in five to seven years," I

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. Chloe finally looked at me, a fire of anger and desperation in her eyes. Reed simply cast his face down, shame etched on it.Bang. The gavel fell, and with it, the room fell silent. "This court is now in session." The prosecutor stood, outlining the charges: kidnapping, conspiracy, treason. The evidence

---------Mia's POV I felt my world crumble as Azek's body hit the floor. "No! Azek!" I screamed, Lewis, clinging to me in terror.Daniel rushed to Azek's side, his face ashen. "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! Hang in there!"I dropped to my knees, clutching Azek's head in my lap. "Stay with me," I begged, as tears streamed down my face.Azek's eyes flickered open, his gaze locking onto mine. "Mia. Lewis. 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. "We need to get him to the hospital, now."They rushed Azek away, and I clung to Lewis as my heart broke.Daniel's arm went around me, his voice barely above a whisper. "He'll pull through, Mia. He has to."I nodded, unable

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

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
