Jace's POV"What's up, Man?" I asked Brandon as I walked into his office,"I'm good" he muttered but his face and tone said otherwise,"You sure?...cause you don't sound okay plus you have been off your game for some days now" I questioned with raised eyebrows,"Yeah, I guess so, it's just Lisa doesn't seem to be excited about the wedding the way I thought she would be, do you think I wasted too much time?" He asked creasing his brows in worry,"Yes you did but that doesn't mean she is not interested, trust me she is" I convinced,"How are you so sure?" He asked uncertainty in his voice,"A little birdy told me so" I winked,"But..."He wanted to say but I cut him,"No buts, Man, your woman loves you and you love her too and that is all that matters" I cheered,"I guess she just feels overwhelmed" he shrugged,"Most likely, you seem nervous yourself" I chided,"Cause I am, it feels so surreal and kind of a lot but what keeps me going is the fact I would be getting married to the woman

Paige's POV"This is the one" I squealed happily as Lisa walked out of the dressing room with a bright smile on her lips, we had been looking for the perfect dress for over an hour now but this was just the perfect one,"Really?" she asked making a small twirl as she stared at herself in front of the big mirror,"Yess, you look like a princess" I cheered clapping my hands together in excitement, she brushed her hand across the the top covered in large shining beads smiling proudly to herself, it was an A-line gown that flowed to the ground, the v-neckline gave a beautiful but appropriate view of her cleavage, enough to admire but not too much exposure,"I am so happy to see you happy" I whispered,"Thank you, Paige, all this wouldn't have been possible without you, you are the best" she expressed pulling me in for a hug which I gladly accepted,"I really didn't do anything but I will gladly accept the glory" I replied making us both burst out in laughter,"That's fine by me" she respo

Paige's POV"So we are finally getting our wedding" I squealed alongside an elated Lisa. It is exactly a week after Jace's parents' funeral and everyone has been coping pretty well, Brandon and Jay are perfectly okay like nothing ever happened Jace's injuries have healed and he is back on his feet and working again, although he still has a little limp on his left leg but he always changed the topic whenever I brought it up insisting he was fine and needed to work, claiming his father left too much work behind. I had ditched Leon that night and I have been ignoring his calls and messages ever since, it wasn't intentional but I had to."Yes, I was so shocked last night when he said it" she replied her voice filled with enthusiasm,"Come and tell me all about it," I said, pulling her towards the sitting room,"I really don't know what moved him but I am glad it did, he said I should pick a date even if it is tomorrow and we would have our dream wedding, that he can't wait to make

Paige's POVWhat was he doing here? How did he know about this funeral? What is his connection? I hope he didn't come to find me, he is not supposed to know about the twins or Jace,"Leon?" I called out carefully just to be sure I wasn't dreaming,"Paige?" he answered shocked as he turned to face me,"Fancy meeting you here, you were the last person I thought I would see here" he continued with a bright smile on his face he pulled me in for a hug which I reluctantly accepted, why would he hug me without even asking?"And why is that?" I asked staring at him skeptically,"Well, with the way you always say you are busy with family matters and all I didn't think you would have the time to attend a random burial, except there is something I don't know about" he answered with a smile I didn't seem to trust plastered on his face,"I do not understand your point here but me being busy with family matters doesn't mean I cannot attend gatherings when I want to" I defended,"Gatherings you say"

Jace's POVI watched from the balcony of my house, everyone was dressed in black, with scowls on their faces, walking round the back of the house where we all decided we would host the guests. We just returned from the cemetery where they were buried side by side just like Mum always wanted, but we still had to entertain the guests, perks of having rich parents. I couldn't recognize many of them as they were either business associates or family members, it was exactly four days after Dad's death and a day after I was released from the hospital with strict warnings though. The loud thunder that rumbled in the skies was perfect weather for the day, I was burying my both parents together on the same day, and although they both hurt me in their own way I couldn't shake off the pain in my heart,"Hey," Paige called out softly snapping me out of my little reverie,"Are you ready for the day?" I asked slowly turning to face her,"I should be asking you that, they were your parents" she repli

Paige's POVI couldn't get the smile off my face from Jace's little stunt last night, although I was angry at first that he had fooled me and to add the fact that everyone including Lisa was part of it all just made it so much funnier, I guess I didn't know them so well,After much pleading and convincing, I had agreed to stay and do all he had planned with him. I don't know how he pulled it off but we had a small fancy dinner right in the room, then listened and sang along to our favorites songs for over an hour and I didn't feel it, luckily we still have the same taste in music as we did years ago, I danced a little too and he didn't fail to remind me how I had always loved dancing back in high school and never missed any of my dance classes even when I was sick, it was a bittersweet memory as it reminded me of everything I had to leave behind after what he did, but I didn't want to spoil the night so I didn't say anything. We ended the night cuddled up on the surprisingly big hos

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
