Chapter 25
Mia Novak
As we drive to the FBI department building, I look out the window at nothing in particular. We pass buildings, people, and cars, but I'm not aware of anything but my thoughts. I'm thinking about my life; my past. It's completely selfish, but there's more baggage to my life than most celebrities in the tabloids.
I wish I could change the hands of time; go back to being one day old, and possibly in a happy home. Possibly. I'm not sure. I don't even know myself anymore, and the truth- I've never actually known myself.
How could my childhood have turned out? Can I even find out about myself and who I am, or am I too late? I feel like I've been living a lie my whole li

Liam NovakI gaze at Mia as she sleeps soundly in our king-sized bed. Her usually untamed hair is beyond tussled from sleep, but she looks completely adorable. She hasn't had a good night's sleep in two days and I frown remembering her waking from nightmares during the night. Her nightmares have certainly taken a toll on her. It's usually of a man chasing her or killing everyone she loves; Neil Jones.To know that my wife is going through this is not at all comforting. Actually, it's theexactopposite. 'Where has my lively, bubbly wife gone to?' I often ask myself. She's normally so full of life, and laughter, but this man has affected her in more ways than one. It's almost like he's taken her life away from her, and all that's left is her memories.

Mia NovakHe's back again!Back to bring my life more sufferings. Back to take away all my happiness; joyful memories. He won't rest until he's destroyed me. Until all that's left of me is a mere memory. And he's succeeded. Our chase has gone on for too long, and by the look on his face, he's here to end this journey. He shows not even an ounce of mercy. And I can tell that this fight will not go so successful for me.What he's taken away from me far outweigh what I've been given; what I've achieved in my life. He gives me that sly smirk and I shiver in disgust. A man who has shadowed me my whole life, and seen me grow from a baby to a woman. A man with secrets. A man who has murdered, and threatened others to get what he wants. A man I'm disguste

Mia NovakI dreaded going to this book conference today, but simply, I had no choice. My fans were depending on me, and getting out of the house did help putting my mind as ease- even if I didn't feel as 'ease' with myself. I'd been cooped up in the house for too long, and I needed exposure- according to Liam.I walked into the George's Hotel with Caleb and James following behind me. People smiled, waved, and I did so in return, putting on my brave face, and a few smiles to mask my emotion. No one needed to know what was going on in my life. No one needed all this baggage.I was dressed as formally as I could; baby-blue dress shirt, black pencil skirt and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Black Suede pumps. It was pre

Mia NovakLiam has been sulking ever since our little exchange of words in the bedroom. Okay, maybe the exchange of words no matter how brief of a conversation it was, wasn't aslittleas it seemed at the time. And I probably overreacted too.What? I'm a girl.Girls overreact all the time. And it wasn't entirely true that I didn't want more kids. Truth is I did want a few more miniature Liams running around the house and creating havoc.Spending time with Logan, and seeing him grow, made me so proud at being a mom. It's like no matter how much pain I went through to give birth to him, seeing my little boy so energetic and adorable, made it worth every single pain. However, I was

Mia Novak-Two months later-To say that everything went superb during these two months, would be a huge lie, and frankly, I loved being honest. They were probably the most crucial months of my life-to say the least.I thought when we'd caught Neil, it would be easy to find out the truth about my past. However, things don't necessarily turn out as we plan- does it? That's always how life is. You think you're at the end of it all, and that you'll move on from whatever it is that you've been faced with. However, life throws a curve at you, and you realize that you're back where you started. That's exactly how I felt.Neil refused to speak

Liam NovakListening to Mia and Neil's conversation, I couldn't help but want to be in there with her now, holding her in my arms as she speaks to the man who took her away from her parents. Finding out all this information about her life must be difficult or at least challenging, but she didn't even cry. She was angry, I could tell, but I knew she wanted him to see how tough she is. She's one strong woman- my wife.I'd seen such a huge improvement since her therapy sessions and I was happy that she's at least getting back to being normal. Shedeservesnormal. Her life had always been filled with things that she had no idea of their existence. Now that she had a chance to redeem herself, I was happy for her. She needed joy and happiness. She n

Liam NovakMia surely handled herself tremendously well throughout the 'interrogation' with Neil, but when she broke down, it pained my heart seeing her like this. I wrapped my arms tighter around her, never wanting to let her go. I wanted to keep her in my arms, where she'd be safe for eternity, but I knew I couldn't.As we drove away from the headquarters, she sat on my lap, her face buried in my chest and my hands surrounding her protectively. I placed tiny kisses on the top of her head, and whispered words of love to her as she continued to cry.I could only imagine what was going through her mind. Her parents were alive. She could meet them after 23 years of her life, and she surely deserved to. She deserv

Mia NovakThe first thing I recognized as I awoke from my slumber was the intense silence of my surroundings. It was almost impossible for the house to be so quiet with a one year old around, unless he was asleep. So, it led me to think that heisasleep. As I turned to look at the clock, I realized that it was time for dinner, and our weekly barbecue. 'I'd slept that long?' I wondered.Getting up from the bed, I went into the bathroom to take a shower. After my shower, I stepped into the walk-in closet and picked out a pair of thick black leggings and a silver colored Mickey Mouse sweatshirt that went mid-thigh. As I dressed, I couldn't help but smile even through my earlier experience. I knew that I needed to be strong, and that's just what
