Mrs. Ashford’s POV

The next time I opened my eyes, a strange ceiling greeted me. For a few seconds, I lay still, struggling to understand where I was. My head throbbed, and my vision was slightly blurred. I tried to move, only to feel something digging painfully into my wrists, handcuffs!

My eyes widened as I lifted my hands. They were cuffed together in front of me. Panic immediately seized my chest.

“Help! Somebody help me!” I screamed, struggling against the restraints. “Is anybody there? Le

    Ava’s POVVindell had been pacing back and forth in the living room for what felt like forever. His hands repeatedly ran through his hair, and every few seconds, he glanced at his phone as though another call might magically bring good news.I’d never seen him this disoriented and looking so helpless. I sat on the edge of the couch, nervously twisting my fingers together. Earlier, we’d received a terrifying call from the hospital. Mrs. Ashford had been kidnapped, and Dr. Rufus had been found unconscious in his office. He’d been rushed to the ICU, and the doctors were still trying to stabilize him.Everything had happened so quickly. One moment, we were going about our day, and the next, Vindell’s mother had disappeared under circumstances nobody could explain.“Vindell,” I called softly.He stopped pacing and turned toward me. “Have you heard anything?”He shook his head, his jaw tightening. “Nothing.” He dragged a hand down his face. “I don’t understand how this happened, Ava. How co

My head throbbed, and my vision was slightly blurred. I tried to move, only to feel something digging painfully into my wrists, handcuffs!My eyes widened as I lifted my hands. They were cuffed together in front of me. Panic immediately seized my chest.“Help! Somebody help me!” I screamed, struggling against the restraints. “Is anybody there? Let me out!”I kicked my legs against the floor, desperately trying to get someone’s attention. The more I struggled, the tighter the metal cuffs seemed against my skin.Suddenly, the door swung open. I barely had time to look up before a thunderous slap landed across my face. My head jerked to the side, and I froze, my cheek burning from the impact. Slowly, I raised my eyes, only for my breath to catch when a familiar face came into view.“Kate?!”She stood in front of me, wearing a sinister smil

    Ava’s POVVindell pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes squeezed shut as he released a slow, frustrated breath. The way his shoulders stiffened told me whatever news he had received wasn’t good.I shifted slightly on the sofa, my gaze fixed on him. “What is it?” I asked.He lowered his hand and turned towards us, disbelief written all over his face.“Kate has escaped from prison.”For a moment, nobody moved.I blinked, wondering if I’d heard him correctly. “What? How? Isn’t she supposed to be under strict supervision?”“That’s what I want to know.” He shook his head. “I just received the news. Apparently, she managed to get out before anyone could stop her.”Peter scoffed, running a hand over his face. “Don’t tell me Mr. Blackwood is still helping her when he hasn’t even cleared his own name. That man should be more concerned about his own problems.”“That’s exactly what worries me,” Vindell replied.Peter leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “I wouldn’t be surprised if

    Ava’s POVBy evening, Sophia and Peter finally arrived. Vindell and I were curled up together on the couch, discussing everything that had happened throughout the day. His arm was wrapped around my shoulders while my head rested comfortably against his chest.“Did you do it?” I asked, tilting my head to look at him.He glanced down at me with a satisfied smile. “Let’s just say he got exactly what he deserved.”I sighed, shifting slightly. “Come on, I know he deserved it, but I also helped that restaurant grow. It still hurts to think about everything that happened. That place meant something to me, and now…” I trailed off. “He must be in complete shambles right now.”Vindell let out a short laugh. “Well, it’s not like I didn’t warn him. I gave him enough opportunities to make things right, but he was too arrogant to listen.”I raised my head. “How did you do it?”He looked down at me, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. “Let’s just say I found someone who was willing to cooperate

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 117: Happiness Before the Storm

    Ava’s POVMy eyes widened as I stared at the pregnancy test in my hand. Beside me, Mrs. Ashford’s mouth fell open, and for a few seconds, neither of us said a word. Then, without warning, she let out an excited squeal and pulled me into a tight hug.“Oh, my God! You’re pregnant!” she exclaimed, practically jumping on the spot. “I’m going to have my first grandchild!”A small smile spread across my face as I wrapped my arms around her. Her excitement was contagious, and seeing her this happy made it difficult not to smile. But beneath that happiness was a fear I couldn’t quite shake, Vindell.What would he say when he found out? I mean, having a child was never part of our agreement. We had agreed to go our separate ways after one year, and now, with a baby on the way, everything was about to change.I swallowed the lump in my throat and glanced at the test again. I was going to be a mother. That was something I had never imagined happening this way.“Come on, sweetheart! We need to ge

    Winston’s POVRight before my eyes was a video of my restaurant engulfed in flames. I leaned closer to the television, my eyes darting across the screen as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. The entire upper floor had been reduced to ashes. Thick clouds of smoke billowed into the sky while several firefighters scrambled around the building, desperately trying to put out the remaining flames.A news reporter stood a few metres away, holding a microphone as she delivered the report. “Firefighters are currently battling a devastating fire at one of the city’s popular restaurants. According to preliminary reports, the fire broke out earlier this morning, destroying a significant portion of the building. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined…”My mouth fell open. “No!”I sprang to my feet, completely forgetting about the injuries scattered across my body.“This can’t be happening!” I shouted at the television.I stared at the burning building, my chest tightening as the re
