Deep thinking Reed's POV As I sat in my apartment, my mind flooded with loads of thoughts of my conflicted feelings for Mia and her sister Natalia. I was caught stuck, and still couldn't make up my mind. Mia has always been in my heart, and she has been the one I have longed to be with for years. The memories of our high school friendship kept rising before me. Natalia, on the other hand, came to me when I needed someone the most. My lowest time she came bearing fruits of companionship and comfort. She has never left my side ever since, even after seeing my disregard for her self-love. Natalia has started creeping into my mind died to the perfect sexual connection I experienced with her. I had the map of her body engraved in my Brain. Each time I see her body, I tend to forget about Mia for a second, but once I have satisfied my lustful desires with Natalia, I fall back to dreaming about Mia. The unending loop of emotional torment and torture. My mind was breaking into a million
Natalia's POV I cried my eyes out that night. Reed had made me feel so worthless that I felt I could never be lovable. His mind gesture for us to have a good time and deepen our connection turned out to be the starting point of our relationship failure. All I ever did was show him selfless love and unconditional care. Yet, his mind still clings tightly to his unrealistic desires for music. His words said a different thing, and his mind thought differently. His actions were entirely different from the previous two. My sanity was sinking in rejection, pain, and negligence. Was this how my love life was going to be? I felt I could change him but over the last weeks, I realized that I could change years of desires with a few weeks of wants. Despite my drive and bold efforts to get him to let go of his illusion of Mia being with him, his obsession got the better of him. I hated myself for thinking I could woo him to call in love for me. I invested my entire soul and body into the rela
Chloe's POV As I stared at the ceiling engulfed in my thoughts, Amber, my mum walked into my room with an expression of disappointment and anger. She seemed like She was getting impatient. Our plan to separate Mia and Azek had failed. “It's been more than two weeks and Azek thinks his safe right” Amber said to me as she clenched her fist and grinded her teeth. She was bent on getting Azek certainly. “I would have a better job myself, you just don't know the ropes” Amber yelled at me. She was frustrated that I didn't execute the plan effectively. She couldn't do it herself as she was old and a bit off class for Azek. “Back in the day, any target I had, I always get them no matter what. I don't spare anyone." She puffed in frustration violently. She passed around the room thinking of a better plan. I struggled with the strong urge to tell her off and quit her using me as a pawn. I wanted to live a decent life, nuts as Mia was living. Get responsible, fall in love with my own foun
Reed's POV The realization of my crumbling relationship with Natalia hit me so hard that I remained mute for minutes. I sat in Natalia's apartment for a long time just thinking about all that had happened in the last two hours. Losing a Natalia felt like the biting pain you would get from swimming in a larva. Carrying this weight of my love for Mia was drowning me and preventing me from keeping my relationship with Natalia afloat. The facts showed that I couldn't be with Mia, but I just found myself reminiscing about Mia in all possible ways. It was driving me crazy. My coordination diminished as I put too much brainpower in my thoughts for Mia. I just sat there like a helpless child rejected by the warm embrace of its mother. Natalia was almost like a mother in a lover to me as she cared so much about me. My depression grew fast, I couldn't forgive myself for how I treated Natalia.I remembered how I flopped my efforts in bringing my relationship with Natalia back on track. “Mia
Reed’s POV A plan to make Mia cling to me? This sounded too good to be true. My dreams and deepest desires were a phone call away. My torment suddenly came to pause. The depression vanished for a second giving space to breathe. Why would this lady just decide to help me out of the blue? Who is she, and how is she in any position to help me? Can I trust her? My mind deviated from my depression, pondering over my sudden encounter with this strange lady. As I watched her walk away. The liquor in my system, made me see her like an angel sent to elevate me from my misery and bring a blissful future where Mia and I are bonded together in love. My prayers were finally coming to reality. It was almost midnight, I needed to get home. I tried standing up, but my body felt heavy like I didn't own it. The after-effect of liquor had started kicking in. I struggled to stand up, dragging my feet across the room and out the door. The lady I just met was no longer in sight. I was certain that I j
Mia POV Awoken by a kiss from someone. Who was that, I asked myself. A part of me knew it was Azek, but I just wanted to be certain. As I opened my eyes, truly it was the man who I fell in love with. “Good morning my love,” Azek said with a big smile. His breath felt like a warm summer wind. The mint from his breath freshened my heart. His eyes lit with hope and passion for our love. As I stared at my handsome, charming prince. He kissed my forehead, assuring me I was safe with him. I gave him a quick peck, and we glanced at each other. We both smiled and our hearts were in eternal bliss. The morning felt calm and warm and the chatter of birds made the morning full of peace and happiness. Waking up that morning was different. As we stared at each other we both felt the surge of emotions and urge for each other. This feeling was so intense, that I suddenly wanted all of him. He looked at me and whispered “I love you”Again, his breath made me feel moist down there. Our heads mov
The kidnapAzek's POV A few days later, I began my day like any other day, filled with the warmth of family and love. The laughter of the boys fills the air with hope and passion. The serene comfort of our bones made the day seem perfect. Little did I know that this perfect day would turn into a very dramatic nightmare I would never forget. Mia and I had planned to spend the day together to further solidify our marriage. We had finally started a new era of our marriage of a solid foundation backed up with care, trust, and compassion. Our little love story grew into a thick book. And I was ready to continue writing this story as long as I could. I was ready to do whatever it took to maintain this level of connection I had with Mia. The connection was so deep that we could passively feel each other's emotions. The communication between us was easy and accurate, passive. As I got dressed, to follow the day as it came, I noticed something unusual. The house was awfully quiet. This mad
The search begins Mia's POV A few hours later, the sounds of police sirens pierced through the air. My heart increased its beat speed as I saw police officers flood the mansion. All moving around and searching the hell place. This scene gave me an eerie feeling like I was in a nightmare and I needed to be awoken. As they entered the mansion, Azek and I recapped all that had happened — the boys missing, Chloe's threats. My voice was shaky as I spoke, my hands trembled, and my thoughts scattered, but I figured myself to focus. The lead detective, a tall dark man, nodded thoughtfully. He had a stern but reassuring look, his calm demeanor gave a sense of silver comfort. He took down every last detail we gave. His reassuring presence did little to calm the storm raging inside me. Azek stood beside me, holding me passionately, his jaw clenched from terror as he answered questions. The police officers assured us that they would make sure our boys were found as soon as possible. But th
