Annabelle’s POV Five years later“Finally done for the day” I sighed as Lily and I walked out of the office.“You make it sound like you didn't make me do most of the work” Lily shot making me burst out in laughter.“You only did the paperwork, I had to attend meetings upon meetings” I shot back rolling my eyes.“We both know paperwork is the tasking part of everything, why didn't I attend the meetings on your behalf while you handle the paperwork” she replied a knowing look on her face.“Oh no, please no” I shrieked.“You do the paperwork really well after all” I added wiggling my eyebrows.“You are lucky, I agreed to stay this long even after I was offered a way out” she grumbled increasing her pace.“Oh please, spare me that. We both knew you couldn't leave me, you love me too much to do that” I replied hitting her shoulders.“Yeah sure, I only stayed because I couldn't leave my godchildren behind and nothing more” she said adamantly.“Keep

Annabelle's POVFace buried deep in the pillow, I laid on my bed and felt the tears quietly run down my cheeks. All the days of agony were heavy in my heart, and no matter how hard I tried the tears would not stop. I understood that seeing me this way was pissing my mother off,considering the fact that I ignored her warnings and advice against marrying Adrien,she kept emphasising on how he wasn’t the perfect man for me.Now here I was, confronting the fallout, pregnant and alone, divorced by the man meant to be loving me. The door creaked open, and without looking up,I knew it was her, her signature citrus scented perfume too prominent too ignore. "And what do you think your doing?" Mom finally spoke up after watching me for a few minutes. She sighed before walking over to the bedside,once she realized she wasn't going to get a reply from me.I gently raised my head, dabbing at my tear stained face while avoiding direct eye contact with her. "I'm sorry,I really tried not to" I mutt

Adrien’s POV“What do you mean by you divorced her?” Jax asked towering over me with his extra height, he had always used it to his advantage and right now I hate him for it,“I didn't know, I was just so angry when I saw the pictures, it didn't occur to me I should have checked it first” I tried to explain,“And the best thing to do was to divorce her right away, like she meant nothing to you or anyone for that matter” he yelled, the veins on his face popping out as his jaw clenched, I have never seen Jax this angry in all our years of friendship,“She was my wife, Jax, why are you so riled up?” I asked,a weird feeling crawling up my spine at the thought that he may actually have ulterior motives,“Are you being for real, Adrien, you divorced your wife for nothing, you do not even know where she is and that is your fucking problem” he screamed scrunching his face in irritation,“You can't blame me, you sound more agitated than I am over my own wife”I shot back still trying to prove m

Adrien's POVI stepped into my home after a long day at work, hunger and exhaustion weighing heavily on me. It was a few minutes past 10, and everywhere was dead silent—no lights coming from the kitchen, no sweet aroma of a home-cooked meal, no silent humming from the kitchen while she cooked. She wasn’t even in the sitting room waiting like she always did. Something felt really off, but she couldn’t have left, right?I increased my pace as I headed to our bedroom, a sudden panic filling me. As I pushed the door, an unsettling feeling of emptiness filled me. Walking towards the closet with my heart beating rapidly, I swung it open. Scanning the walk-in closet we shared, I realized I had made the biggest mistake of my life without even knowing. All her clothes were gone except for the only piece of clothing I had gotten for a woman I had called my wife. Grandpa had insisted I buy it for her on one of our business trips, and knowing the old man, he was going to ask Annabelle. I didn’t w

Annabelle’s POVWhen I arrived I had asked the bartender if had seen Adrien after a brief description of how he looked and he had replied a swift ‘Yes’,he also informed me that Adrien had passed out in one of the rooms available at the club. I had rushed inside the room looking for Adrien but I couldn't find him. I turned to leave but I suddenly felt lightheaded and fell unconscious. I woke up a few hours later but I didn’t put much thought into what happened since I woke up still alone on the bed so I simply continued my search for Adrien who happened to have gone home already.I had gone to look for the bartender from earlier but he had disappeared with no trace and no one seemed to know who I was talking about,that must have been the day those whoring and defaming images were taken.How naive of me to believe it was just mere coincidence but if there is one thing I am sure of is that Adrien will regret ever calling me a gold digging whore. He was going to regret treating me horribl

Annabelle’s POVI fell to the floor as my jelly-like quivering knees failed to hold me up, the tears which I had tried so hard to suppress, finally started to flow and this time I did not try to stop them. I let them drop naturally without thinking about how puffy my eyes would be or the impending headache that was going to come right after. Deeper than I could have ever dreamed, the pain was unbearable. Adrien’s terrible words kept playing in my head like a nasty reminder of how little I mattered to him. How could he treat me as if I was nothing? And to drive out in the middle of the night to be with his ex-girlfriend after everything he had said, it felt as though he was continuously stabbing a knife into my heart. Thinking that loving him would ever be enough made me feel like a fool. I battled for so long just to make this marriage work, always telling myself that maybe one day he would see me, like truly see me, and love me back. Still, at the end of the day, it was all useles

Jace's POVIf Paige had any anger or resentment towards me after this morning, it seems to be far away right now. We were currently in the kitchen singing at the top of our lungs while trying to put together a little late breakfast for ourselves. Karla had come up earlier to inform us that she would be taking the kids out and then she was forcing Lisa out with them too since we had decided to only focus on ourselves for the day. I have not been so grateful to have her around until this morning, because now we have the whole house to ourselves and I will not be letting a day like this waste.Paige stood at the center of the kitchen with nothing but my shirt on dancing and singing her heart out using the spatula to mimic a microphone "It's been so long since I saw you dance this hard" I murmured into her ears as I closed in on her pulling her back to mine, and letting her dance on me."It's been so long since I let myself dance and enjoy it this much too" she replied, gladly accepting

Paige's POV I stared at the bedside clock that read 10:30am, It had been two hours since we had sent the kids down to meet my mum and even though we both knew they would be asking questions now, we both didn't make any attempt to move. Personally, this was the safest I had felt in years and I don't think I am ready to end the moment so soon. We had unconsciously fallen into a rhythm. He drew small circles on the side of my hip right where my only tattoo rested while I slowly trailed down his chest tracing the tattoo on his left bicep, where his own tattoos rested, but unlike me, he had two, he had gotten another one since the last time.The first tattoo was a half heart we had both gotten together back in high school, the day he had asked me out. He had wanted to assure me so badly, that he was going to stay, that wherever any of us found ourselves, we would never be complete until we had found our way back together. I remember being so scared that day but Jace being Jace distra

Paige's POV"I am so sorry, Cupcake, I didn't mean to scare you, I promise I am not going anywhere" Jace murmured pulling away a little, his hands still wrapped around my waist."I can't leave you ever, I still need a whole lifetime to make things up to you and show you up much you mean to me" he continued his lips trailing down to my neck."You..." Kiss"Are..." Suck"Mine..." Kiss"Never forget that, Cupcake" he concluded as his lips got to my collarbone."I will try not to" I muttered trying to hide my smile at the way he stiffened."That's not enough, Cupcake, I need you to know that at all times" he whispered holding me tighter like I was going to disappear any second from now. "I am here for you and the twins, to be everything I have not been all these years" he assured his attention drifting back to my body as he tweaked my already hard nipples through my silk gown."You are making it quite difficult to pay any attention to your words" I murmured running my hands through his h

Paige's POV"No, add more mustache for Mum" I heard someone whisper close to my ears making me turn in my sleep."A few more minutes please" I groaned attempting to move again before I felt something, well more like someone hovering over me, breathing lightly on my face."What the..." I was about to curse, shooting my eyes open, but I stopped halfway as I saw an excited Alex staring back at me with a wide grin on his face."What's happening?" I asked in surprise attempting to sit up, something heavy on my waist weighed me down."You have got to be kidding me" I groaned, rolling my eyes. I stared at his arms safely wrapped around my waist and I couldn't help but feel a sense of safety."What are you boys up to now?" I asked chuckling as they both stared at me with wide eyes like they had been caught robbing a bank."Nothing" Alex quickly spoke up, grabbing his brother's hand as they backed up slowly."Alvin?" I called out in a warning voice as I noticed the hidden excitement in hi

Jace's POVI could make out her trembling shoulders in the dark from where I stood below the stairs, her sobs filling the hallways. She was hurting and I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't even tell, I was so focused on trying to impress her with dates and gifts that I forgot what really mattered."Come on my child, let's get you to bed," Karla said softly to an already half-asleep Paige."Here, let me help" I quickly offered coming out from where I had been watching from."It's about time you showed up" Karla murmured rolling her eyes at me but she still let me help with Paige."I'm sorry, I had a very important call to attend to" I quickly said following Paige's earlier lie, might as well side her."Hmm, I see" Karla hummed in disbelief, if she had anything to say she didn't mention it, it was quite obvious she didn't believe me anyway.I carefully placed Paige on the bed ignoring the disapproving look Karla had on her face, I can't let her know Paige was the one who turned m

Paige's POV" Thank you for tonight, Jace, I loved every single Moment" I spoke up immediately. We entered the car with a permanent smile on my face. He was the perfect gentleman all night and he made sure I was comfortable and content all through, even when a few of his business associates who happened to have been at the restaurant came to speak with him his attention was still on me, he lay his claim without saying it that the men quickly got the memo."You are welcome, Cupcake, I am ready to do anything to keep that beautiful smile of yours on your face" He replied beaming at me." We will see about that but for now let's just go home, I am exhausted" I groaned." At your service, My queen," He said with a curt nod before starting the car."Whatever" I murmured, rolling my eyes. ~~~~"You know, I fancy your Mum's idea of more grandbabies a lot" Jace spoke up as the car slowly came to a stop, we had made a quick stop to buy a few snack
