Alex's povI paced around the lounge, a drink in one hand and a cigarette in another. My mind racing with thoughts of how to get Ava and Julian. I swear, I would make them suffer this time. The door pushed open, and Max walked in. "Any news?" I asked him impatiently."No, boss. Julian isn't in America now," he replied, his eyes cast downward. I took a sip of my drink, dragging my cigar along, trying to calm my nerves."What do we do? I have tried calling Ava but her number is not reachable," I said with a groan. "We can track Julian or get information from one of his guys downstairs," Max suggested, and my eyes widened. "His guys downstairs? In my house?" I asked in disbelief. "I'm sorry for not telling you. Madam Ava caught one of Julian's guys who came to spy on us," he said. "Why didn't I hear of this?" I demanded, feeling pissed. "I'm sorry, boss. I was too caught up with finding her to remember," he apologized. I waved him off, thinking about what to do. "Yes!" I muttered

Ava's povMy heart skipped a beat when Julian mentioned the kids. "Julian, what's wrong with them?" I asked, keeping my voice low to avoid attracting more attention. "I don't know, I just got a random call and .. Listen, we have to go home," Julian replied, his brow furrowed. He left money on the table for the uneaten breakfast. As we drove back home, my mind raced with the worst case scenarios. "I hope they are okay. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to them," I muttered, my voice trembling.Julian placed a reassuring hand on my lap, his touch warm and comforting. "Everything will be fine, just calm down," he said firmly, but I detected a hint of nervousness beneath his calm demeanor.As we approached the house, my heart racing, everything seemed in order. Julian pulled the car to a halt, and I opened the door, my palms growing sweaty."Here, in case anything goes wrong," Julian said, handing me a gun. I grasped it tightly, the familiar weight providing a sense of security

Ava's povAs Diamond's ear piercing scream echoed through the room, my heart skipped a beat. I rushed towards the door, desperation clawing my chest. My mind raced with a lot of thoughts with the possibility of what could be wrong. I tried to open the door, banging it furiously.Panic set in, and I pounded on the door, my fists throbbing. "Somebody open the door!" I yelled, my voice hoarse. Aiden and Diamond's wails grew louder. Tears streamed down my face. I needed to know what was wrong with my babies. Was Alex hurting them? Alot of impossible thoughts ran through my mind. I knew Alex, he promised to hurt us and I was scared. "Max! Maria! Come open the damn door!" I yelled again, my throat straining and hurting. I got no response so I began to search Alex's room for a key or something to break the door. After some minutes, the door opened and Alex walked in. "What the hell is going on? Why are the kids crying?" I demanded, wiping the tears from my face. "When I bring them in, y

Julian's povAlex walked in, my blurry vision struggled to focus on him. I felt life slipping out of me slowly."Hello Julian," Alex said in a cocky voice. From where I sat on the bed, I spat out blood into a container beside me. My mouth bruised and bitter. My throat hurts anytime I try to talk. "What is it this time?" I asked, my voice shaky."I came to see how you are doing. And you are doing good," he replied with a smirk on his face. Rage ignited within me. I wanted to lunge at him, beat him to pulp. He was a monster, cruel and merciless."Bastard," I muttered. Alex laughed, the sound of it made me more pissed. "I will see you later. Be a good boy," he said, walking out of the room. The familiar sound of the keys locking the door made me sigh. Everything felt like a set up. We were all leaving the house that day when we blacked out. I woke up tied to a chair. That's was when I realized everything was a plan, Alex had set me up with Gray. I had no idea where Lucas was but I

Ava's povI stepped in front of Julian prepared for whatever was coming. Max's eyes widened, and I could feel his fear as the car door opened. Luckily, Alex's driver emerged and I sighed in relief, glancing at Julian who did the same thing. "Hey! Where is boss? Did you forget something?" Max asked the driver. "He has travelled. I just came to drop his car," he replied, walking towards us. I ignored his intense stare. Max cleared his throat, collecting the key from him. "You can leave now," Max ordered, his voice firm.He left, and Max turned to us. "Please, be careful because of next time. I almost had a heart attack," he said. "Sorry about that. I felt the same way, I just hope this one won't tell your boss," Julian muttered. "I will talk to him and give him some money. You should hurry now, the guards will return soon," Max said. "Thank you," I appreciated, holding Julian's waist to support him. We followed the kitchen's back door into the house. "Is there anybody in there?"
