LOGINPaige North got a contract to get married to her high school crush, Cedric Brooks, a contract she willingly agreed to in hopes that the marriage would make Cedric love her. But the marriage didn't turn out the way Paige would have wanted because of misunderstandings on both their parts. Cedric travelled three months after their marriage leaving Paige with no words only to return three years later demanding divorce which Paige rejected. Paige's mother got into an accident that caused her to need urgent surgery. Paige has nowhere to access money from, all her parent's accounts and properties have been frozen, leaving her with only the option of the compensation money that Cedric offered to her in favor of her agreement to divorce him. She takes him up on the offer and agrees to divorce him and get the money, which comes as a shock of disappointment to Cedric who was still in love with her. The agreement doesn't go as planned because now, Cedric is offering Paige another contract.
View More◆Unfortunately, after Jarvis and Veera unpacked and freshened up, it was already too late for them to continue their conversation with Paige who seemed to be dozing off to la la land when the girls returned to the living room. “Does she always sleep like this or is this a new habit of hers?” Jarvis questioned Veera, “Knowing her , she found it hard to fall asleep but now she is dozing off in the living room.”“Yiu don't think it's depression or is it?” Veera worried too, “She was kind of acting like everything was just okay and I didn't think anything negative because look at her, she is literally glowing.”“Anyway, let's bring her inside and we can take a nap too. We can fix dinner when we wake up.” Jarvis suggested, “What do you think?”“I think a nap is a perfect idea. I miss my girlfriend.” Veera admitted, “Do you think she has any time for me?” Jarvis grinned, her eyes watching Veera fondly and teasingly, “What girlfriend wouldn't have time for you? Looking beautiful like
◆Almost a month passed before any one heard from Paige again. She had randomly called her friends Jarvis and Veera one afternoon and the ear-splitting scream the two girls let out was enough for Paige to know that the two girls still had her back. Today, she was going to receive them in her home. Paige still can't believe she finally has a place she calls hers. It wasn't luxurious or lavishly decorated. But it was homely and cozy and it was extremely comfortable and above all, she designed and curated the room by her own hands. The room was like an extension of herself and needs. She tried to incorporate some of her childhood memories into decorating and setting the room.She was happy and had so much peace of mind here. The place was a solace for Paige, she grieved the loss of her mother and her breakup with Cedric in this place. Talking about Cedric, she couldn't help but frequently think about him, how he was doing and if he was somehow still thinking about her. Paige ha
◆“I still don't agree with you closing the case of someone constantly harassing you just because you have left your marriage which was the cause of that harassment.”Jarvis argued, she doesn't know what her friend is thinking.“It's exactly because of that reason that I want to close the case, Jarvis. What am I pursuing the case for?” Paige admitted. “I don't want to hold on to that case anymore.” “Okay, but what about you? Who is going to pay for the emotional abuse they caused you?” Veera added and Paige let out a frustrated sigh. She understood the worries and concerns of her friends but Paige has suffered a loss greater than any other. She doesn't think anything could ever hurt her the way the loss of her mother hurts her and when she was laying the woman to rest, Paige made sure to lay everything that worried her poor heart to rest too.She wants to start a new life, the one where she didn't live with problems from her past. “I'll just call Umi later, guys. I have to rest now
◆ “I love you with my eyes closed, Pie,” Cedric muttered, trying to get Paige to listen to him. “You really don't need to leave the mansion, you can still stay here as my friend but at least don't leave me.” “Cedric, you have to understand me,” Paige said, “I really can't stay, there is nothing left here for me. Just allow me to leave, please.” She said as she took out the crest necklace that hung around her neck to return it to him. “Please tell Grandma that I'm really sorry.” “No, Grandma will be heartbroken if you return that to her, she gave it to you please hold on to it.” Cedric pleaded. “Maybe give it to Marlynn, as the person carrying the Brooks Heir, she deserves that more than me,” Paige remarked but Cedric wasn't having it. “No one deserves anything more than you do, Paige North please hold on to that crest, it's yours.” Cedric insisted, “I'm sorry it had to come to this. I can never face you again.” Paige gave him an understanding smile. Of course, she knows, tha
◆It's been three days since Paige’s mother passed away and today was going to be her funeral. Cedric has been extremely busy with the arrangements, he hasn't even visited his mother or his grandmother. And they have both sent for him many times, but today he was going to drop by at his grandma's place along with Paige. Paige sat in the car holding her mother's picture, she just couldn't believe her mother was gone, lately, she kept seeing the woman in her dreams. She can't help but feel like she has wronged her, she didn't say her goodbyes and she doesn't know what her mother's last words were. Paige just knows she was going to live all her life with those questions and she will never have the answers to them. She was going to grieve this forever. “We are here, Pie,” Cedric informed him, Paige was grateful for Cedric’s support during these trying times in her life but she didn't deserve it. Imagine, just when the man tried to make amends and show you unconditioned love and
◆Phones kept on ringing. Paige twisted sideways into Cedric’s warm body, “The alarm keeps ringing, turn it off.” She complained, too lazy and exhausted to open her eyes. “Why would the alarm be ringing in the afternoon?” Cedric questioned, he couldn't believe they passed out, but he couldn't blame anyone, the peak ecstasy level they reached was more than enough for them to sleep two days straight. He hasn't felt so satiated in forever. “If it's not the alarm, then why is it ringing?” Paige wondered, as far as she knows she is sleeping and she shouldn't be disturbed. She hasn't felt so fulfilled, fuzzy and full in a long time. But now who is disturbing her peace when the person is not her mother…what?!”She immediately jerked upright from the bed, searching for her phone in the direction it was ringing from. She immediately picked up the call, not even checking who was calling. / “Hello,”/ “Paige, where have you been, I have been calling your phone!” That was Jarvis' voice a
