Paige's POVI groaned when I woke up with a severe headache. I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the white ceiling. My forehead creased as I felt a big hand caressing my tummy. Wait? A big hand?I sucked my breath when I remembered Mr. Monroe injecting me something."Hmm!"I froze. My breathing stopped as the man beside me moaned erotically. My eyes widened, realizing it came from a familiar voice.Slowly, I turned to my right and saw a man peacefully sleeping beside me. His chin was on my shoulder and his breath was hitting my neck. His arm and leg are hugging my body, keeping me in place as if I am his prisoner.I felt tears in the corner of my eyes. Am I dreaming? If yes, please don't wake me up. I just want to stay here. With him. With the man I love. With the man my heart yearns.Noah…I stared at his face. His pointed nose, thick eyebrows and eyelashes, reddish lips and disheveled hair. God! I missed him! I missed him so damn much!Slowly, I lifted my shaking hands and started
Paige's POV"Uncle said my death was planned by Thalia's father and your grandfather. I was planning to meet Thalia that night. I want to lure her and get Naomi, but I failed because your grandfather interfered."I heaved a sigh and massaged my temple. This is crazy! Thalia's father wants to kill him because he broke up with Thalia and my grandfather wants to kill him because he chose me.Noah caressed my hands. "We should go back to end this mess, Paige. I wanna spend time with our children. And… I want to make sure that Naomi is safe. She's still a kid."I shook my head. I've talked to his uncle. He called while he's taking a shower and told me about how dangerous it is for him to go out, so obviously, he can't be seen by anyone."Paige…"I shook my head again. "You should stay here, Noah. You can't be seen.""Paige, you can't go back alone."I stared into his eyes, worried. "It's dangerous for you.""I don't care! I'm not letting go back alone, Paige. I'll go with you and I won't c
Paige's POVI stood on the shore while wearing aviator glasses. I was watching the yacht coming towards me. Impatiently, I looked back, waiting for Noah. He went back to the beach house since he said he left something."Miss Paige!"I bore my eyes at Oliver. He's looking at me worriedly. I glanced at the yacht as I spoke. "Are you alone, Oliver?""Yes, Miss Paige. I sail alone just like you asked."I slowly nodded and looked behind me again. What's taking him so long?"Uh… Miss Paige, shall we go?"Heaving a sigh, I looked at Oliver. "Let's wait a little longer, Oliver."He nodded, confused. Of course, he would be since he thought I was alone here.I glanced at my wristwatch and that's when Noah came running. His disheveled hair was dancing in the. I was already pissed but when I saw his loving face, it vanished like a vapor."M-Mr. Hanson…"Noah stopped in front of me and looked at Oliver, who's now glued to his place. He was gaping at Noah who looked at me and smiled. He gently grab
Paige's POVI turned to our cousins. Tessa is now crying while looking at Noah. Isaiah and Troy were still in shock while my cousins were looking at me with confusion in their faces. I smiled at them, giving them assurance."What is this?" Isaiah asked, clenching his jaws. "What the hell is this?"I looked at Noah. He heaved a sigh and turned to Oliver. Oliver nodded and carried the twins before going upstairs."What the hell is happening, Paige? First the engagement, your abduction, and then you're back with… him?" It was Alex, whose fists are balled while glancing at Noah.Noah held my hand, intertwining our fingers before looking at our cousins. "No one can separate us… Not even death.""Troy!" I screamed when Troy attacked Noah and started punching him."Stop! Stop it!" I tried stopping Troy but Isaiah blocked me, staring into my eyes with pain and disappointment.I swallowed hard, enduring his dagger stares."You knew that he's alive but you hid it from me, from us. We trusted yo
Paige's POV"Nate refused to talk to me."Those were the most painful words I heard today. We're planning to surrender Neo to the authorities but the situation with Nate is stopping me. My son loved Neo so much that he couldn't accept Noah as his father.I stared at Noah's face. He looked down as pain flickered in his eyes."What should we do?" I asked, almost a whisper."Let him spend time with Neo.""He's our son. I don't wanna lose him again, Noah."He nodded and held my hands. "I'll talk to Neo. For the sake of our child, Paige. Please, let's talk to him. I'd swallow my pride, my anger. I'll do it for Nate."I felt something in my throat. I'm about to cry. "I hate him for stealing our chances to be with Nate.""He took care of him. If we insist on what we want, we might lose our son again. He would hate us and I don't want him to hate us."I sucked my breath and swallowed hard. Neo did a good job stealing my son. I hate him so much!Noah caressed my back and rested his chin on my
Paige's POVIt's bedtime for my kids, so I'm with them. We're still in Noah's house. Tomorrow we're going home with my cousins. Ares doesn't want us to stay here. He said Noah should earn his trust first before he allows us to live under the same roof. I'm just so glad to have a cousin like him."Mommy, he's not my daddy.""He is our daddy.""He's not! He just looks like my daddy, but he's not really my daddy!"I squeezed my eyes closed, listening to my kids who are now arguing. They're both lying on the bed while I'm sitting on the bed beside Nate."I told you, he's our daddy. We are twins, Nate!"Nate's eyes watered, alarming me. He looked at me while his lips were twitching. "M-Mommy…"I carried him and put him on my lap. I hugged him and started kissing his hair. "I'm sorry, baby. I will explain everything to you."He looked up at me. "I know he's not my daddy. Please bring back my daddy."I looked away and chewed my bottom lip. God! Is this what Alex is talking about? I'm with hi
Paige's POV"How dare you hide Noah!"I shot an eyebrow up and crossed my arms as I stopped in front of Thalia. She's looking at me with rage. There are dark circles around her eyes and she's obviously stressed."NOAH! NOAH, COME OUT!"I frowned. "He's not here, Thalia."Damn! We were careless. Thalia really saw Noah. Of course, she won't come here in rage if she doesn't have proof or a basis. She really saw him and I know before she came here, she already investigated.She glared at me. "I saw him entering this house, Paige! Don't lie to me!"No! I shouldn't let her know that Noah's alive—I mean, I shouldn't confirm it or give her a single clue about what happened.I laughed sarcastically. "You're seeing a ghost, Thalia.""No! Where is he, Paige?""In the jar, what do you expect?" I said, raising my eyebrow."Fck you! Don't you use sarcasm on me. Stop hiding my husband!"That made me burst. Husband? This woman is crazy."Husband? Thalia, wake up. He didn't marry you."Her face redden
Paige's POVDad woke up three days after he fell into a coma. I'm now sitting beside him while he's staring at my face. He wasn't saying anything. He's just looking at my face as if he can't believe that he's seeing me."D-Dad…"He slowly lifted his hand and caressed cheek. Tears rolled down his face as he smiled. "M-My… princess."I smiled and burst into tears. "Dad… I missed you."He nodded and smiled even more. He mouthed 'I know' as if he's having a hard time saying it out loud. I know he's still weak. Oliver found him almost lifeless in the barn house. He's so thin. He's so weak. My grandfather punished him real bad and I loathe him for doing that."I'm sorry, I was late."He slowly shook his head. "I'm s-sorry, I wasn't there w-when you needed me t-the most."I felt a hand caressing my shoulder. I lifted my face and saw Steve standing behind me.I smiled. "Steve!"He smiled back and bowed his head at my dad. "Mr. Lopez, how are you?"Dad smiled at him and nodded. "A-Are you my d
