Paige:A Second Chance Romance Nine-Jace
Jace's POV"Ugh"I groaned for the umpteenth time today but I couldn't help it, everything seems to either frustrate me,irritate me or annoy me, although it's a usual occurrence but today's own is just at its peak. I haven't heard anything from or about you know who since the day at the police station and I am not finding it funny at all, Grayson assured me that he had sacked Paige as I had requested him to but not without expressing the regret he had after doing it, he was confused as to why I would ask for such an outrageous thing but I don't know I never do sane things this days, but what frustrates me the most is the fact that she isn't even trying to look for a job when she clearly needs one, incase your wondering how I know that I have someone watching her,not as a stalker just some sort of protection but definitely not stalking, right? I don't even know but don't judge me it's the only way I can keep tabs on her and be assured she's safe cause she didn't even want to seat in the

Paige's POV"Alex has not come out from his room since he got back from school, he won't eat anything,he won't speak to me,I can't even get a reaction from him even if it's tears, just something "I said sobbing on Grace, apparently he realized I lied to him about his father, now he believes what everyone has been saying is the truth not lies like I told him, I know his father denied him and all but I didn't tell him that guess people really don't know how to mind their business,"Let me try"Grace said walking away to Alex's room leaving I and the devil himself all alone, I was about to walk away to look for something to busy my mind with other than sitting here with the devil when he stopped me,"Remove your filthy hands from me"I screeched like his hands just burned me as I pulled my hands away forcefully,he flinched a little but no it wasn't so noticeable but I noticed it,"Can we talk, please?"he asked,"What on earth do you have to say now that won't make me hate you more than I

Paige's POV"How was school today, my baby ??" I asked Alex as I helped him out of his uniform,"School was school" he said with the usual bored tone he always uses whenever I ask him about school but I don't stop cause I really want him to see the fun in school, he is smart but he doesn't seem so interested,typical his father,"And how was your little drive from school with your Dad" Grace asked knowing fully well I wasn't going to mention him,"It was fine,he offered to take me somewhere but I knew Mum wouldn't want that so i didn't agree besides I don't trust him" he said so seriously I didn't know if I found it funny or not,"Why do you say so?" Grace asked so interested,"Cause mum is always so weary of him and I can't be comfortable around someone my mum is not comfortable with"he said like he stated something so obvious, Grace looked at me like she was blaming me for how my son saw his Dad but I couldn't act like nothing is wrong that's just impossible,I already hate the fact h

Jace's POV"Come in" I said gruffly,"Hey babyy" her whiny little voice started worsening my already bad mood,"What do you want this time Catherine?" I groaned not bothering to even look up"Come on we have not seen in months"She slurred,"Did you come to see me drunk ??" I asked irritation lacing my voice,"Is that any of your business?"she swayed as she spoke confirming my suspicions,"I will not speak to you until you are sober"I simply stated making sure my voice was firm enough so she would know I was serious,"Don't be difficult now Jacy bear,that's no way to speak to your future wife"she slurred making herself comfortable on my chair but that wasn't what caught my her attention her words did,"Future wife you say,you wish" I chuckled,I wonder why she is still keeping up with this lie,I backed out long ago,"Your dad says you are just throwing a tantrum and you'll get over it and I believe him" she said smugly like she did not just say a very stupid thing,"Why don't you go on

Paige's POVI didn't feel so good this morning when I woke up and it's been such a long time that I actually came down with something that I had to visit the hospital,"Miss Paige Moretti" my name was called after 2 long hours of waiting,I was actually getting impatient and in as much as I know Jace is picking Alex up from school today I needed to be home to welcome him.~~~~~~~~~~~I lit my phone screen up as I walked out of the hospital building,1:00 meaning I had an hour before Alex returned,that was enough time to get the groceries I planned on getting and making it back home ,"Paige ??"someone called out so softly but I knew that voice from somewhere that I am sure of,I slowly turned and I froze,"Grayson??"I asked trying to get the shock out of my system,I don't even know why I am so shocked but I definitely didn't expect to see him at a hospital and even worse to look the way he is looking,he looks more than horrible if you ask me,he doesn't look sick but definitely troubled,

Paige's POV"Jace asked of you today when he came to drop Alex off,he has not seen you for almost a week now"Grace started as we made dinner,"Why does he need to see me exactly??" I questioned,"Don't be like that,you need to at least establish mutual understanding between the both of you"she admonished but I really didn't want this conversation not after what I discovered from my meeting with Grayson earlier this week,everything still feels so fresh in my head and I have not heard from him since then making me more worried,I really want to help but I don't even know how,"He gets to see Alex on school days when he picks him up and that is enough if you ask me,in fact that is a lot after all he didn't want him in the beginning" I reminded her,"I thought we have been over this,he needs his father" she tried again," I said I will give it a thought and I have done that,Jace carries so much drama around that I am not interested in,left for me he shouldn't have even found us" I stated

Paige's POV"How did you sleep my boy ?" I asked Alex as I he walked into my room with sleepy eyes,it was quite early so I wasn't even expecting him to awake since it's a Sunday,"Quite well" he replied joining me in the bed,he simply lay on me placed and kiss on my cheek and stayed there,as much as that was not a new occurrence it always hit in a different way all the time,sometimes I forget he is still a child with the way he behaves,I beamed at him but he seemed focused on going back to bed on my body and I had no issue with that so I simply rocked him slowly till he fell asleep back.The phone call from yesterday was still reeling in my head,anger was the first emotion I felt last night but right now I just feel nothing and I didn't like it,I was supposed to be totally angry,he didn't have any right,I was supposed to retain my anger to give him a piece of my mind if I see him,he has no right ti be stalking me what I do with my life is definitely none of his business,but to be hone

Jace's POV"Where's your mum?"I asked Alex immediately I noticed my 1 hour was up,in as much as I knew I wanted to stay longer I had to respect her decision,it's the least I can do right now,maybe one day she will agree to stay in a room with me for a long period of time cause she has been avoiding it since the day I saw her,"Somewhere in her room"He replied totally distracted by the show going on that he didn't even bother to look at me when he was talking or to see if he could help me call her, I tried fighting it but the other side of me won and I saw myself heading that direction,she is probably going to kill me for this,I could have asked Alex to inform her that I was leaving but I really wanted to just see her face again because I am very sure she won't have come out to see me, I could hear the slow soft music from her room and her voice singing along,my heart constricted and a feeling of nostalgia hit me hard ,she will never change,I moved a little closer but not to close fo

Paige's POV"He was here a few hours ago insisting that he must see his sons but with the suspicions and everything we couldn't let him anywhere close to you guys and now he is dead?" I said asking no one in particular, the body was indeed confirmed to be Mr.Russo's body, apparently, the body was dropped there exactly an hour after he had left the hospital in anger, but that wasn't the scariest part of it all, excluding the bullet to the head that must have killed him, there was a writing on his back, that must have been inscribed with something very sharp to have achieved the cursive writing,'You three just got lucky, unfortunately, your luck didn't extend to him'"I guess we were wrong about our suspicions then" Brandon muttered, the cop had stayed to gather all the information he could from everyone before leaving assuring us that he would keep in touch, Jay had woken up a few minutes after that and we had to fill him in on everything,"Someone outside our family is after us and f

Paige's POV"Luckily, he didn't sustain any primary blast injury from the explosion, just secondary injuries, he has a severe head injury hence the surgery, a dislocated arm, and a few injuries to his soft tissues but we were able to stabilize him although we would still need to keep an eye on him for at least a week to be sure we didn't miss any injuries. Injuries gotten from explosions may not be noticed until it late as they are usually internal injuries " the doctor informed writing down what I presume to be Jace's prescriptions as he spoke,"Will he be okay?" I asked trying to calm my heart, he is stable now at least,"Well, for now, we can only hope that he recovers quickly and he doesn't have any relapse" he answered stretching to hand me the prescription,"Just give it to the nurse by the reception, she knows what to do" he instructed,"Thank you" I appreciated getting up to leave,"Your husband is a real fighter, most people wouldn't have even made it to the hospital with the

Unknown POV"Just one job and you couldn't do it right, huh?" I yelled at the good-for-nothing assassin I hired to get rid of those boys,"I didn't think they would notice the bomb early enough to escape" he cried out, the blood dripping to the floor from the knife I rooted deep into his left arm which was the only thing preventing me from putting a bullet through his head, he is in pain at least,"And you had to do it in front of the old man's damn company? Did you know I was in there, what if the explosion had caught the attention of the police and they had seen me sneaking out, do you know what they would have thought?" I asked,"I'm sorry, I didn't know" he pleaded, dead people don't beg right because there is no way he is making it out of here alive,"Do you know what you have caused me? I will have to kill the old man earlier than I planned as this has raised their suspicions, he doesn't look like the type that won't snitch with a bullet to the head and that's not good for me" I

Paige's POV"Paige, what's wrong?" Lisa asked hurrying over to where I stood staring at my blank phone screen in shock,"We have to go to the hospital, now" I answered snapping out of my reverie,"Wait, why? Who was that?" she asked frantically as we both walked out of the kitchen leaving everything behind,"They were attacked, I don't know how bad it was but the doctor said Jace may not make it" I murmured breathing through the pain in my heart as I thought of it,"Oh my goodness, that sounds bad already" she gasped in shock,"I can't take the kids there right now, get the car started, let me inform Mum so she can keep an eye on them," I said heading towards the stairs. The loud beating of my heart was the perfect reminder that even with everything that had happened in the past, I couldn't handle losing him. ****"What happened?" we asked once we spotted a frantic Catherine at the reception,"I couldn't get much information from any of

Paige's POV"How are the wedding arrangements going?" I asked Lisa while we prepared lunch, I had been meaning to ask this question for over a week now but I couldn't find the appropriate time until now,Releasing a sigh she glanced at me, " To be honest, I have been thinking of moving it" she answered lowly,"Why will you want to do that?" I gasped shocked at her reply, I don't know what I was expecting but it was definitely not this,"Why not, Paige, with everything that is going on, Mrs.Russo's death, the suspicions, Brandon, Jay, and Jace playing cops, there is no space for a wedding, Brandon barely mentions it these days, it is like it is not even on his mind anymore and I don't want to seem like the bugging fianćee that doesn't want to understand but it would be a lot better if he told me straight up he wasn't interested anymore instead of ignoring the subject matter" she answered, the sadness in her voice hurt me more than words could express, I didn't realize all these problem
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Seventy three-Jace
Jace's POVSuicide? That doesn't even make any sense,"That can't be true, Mum was many things but not suicidal" I argued staring at the hospital report,"Something is not adding up," Paige said and everyone nodded in agreement,"It says here, she abused her drugs"I spoke up again letting the shock sink in,"But Mum wasn't in charge of her drugs, she didn't even know where they were kept, I made sure of that" Jay muttered, nothing seemed to be making sense here,"Who hired the Nurse?" Paige suddenly asked,"Peter, he was actually the first person to find out about her sickness" I answered realization dawning on me, I knew something was up with him since that weekend at Mum's place,"Well, if that is the case, Jay, Brandon, come on, I want to have a word with our dearest old man" I hollered grabbing my car keys,"Be careful guys" Lisa yelled as we headed to the door, halting my steps, I turned to glance at Paige with a small smile on my face, although she wouldn't say it, she was obvio
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Seventy two-Paige
Paige's POVThere has been a looming darkness in the house since we all heard about Jace's Mum's death two days ago, I have only seen him once and that was the night he informed me, he has not been home since then,"I am sure he is fine wherever he is, you need to calm down" Mum cooed but it wasn't working, I am restless and it is all his fault,"He never does this, even Brandon has no idea where he is, Mum what if something bad has happened to him, you know someone is after us, he can't just disappear that way" I replied, the panic in my voice evident,"Calm down my child, he will be home, he is grieving" Mum soothed,"We can't be so sure, what if..." I wanted to say but the loud bang from the front door stopped me and I quickly ran to the door,"Jace?" I called out,"Ohh, you a...re sti...ll here, great. I had th...is cra...zyy dre..am that you le...ft me just li...ke Mum did"he slurred holding on to the wall like his life depended on it,"Have you been drinking? Are you drunk?" I a
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Seventy one-Jace
Jace's POVIt's been two days since Jay found Catherine, after that night Brandon and I met with them no one has seen or heard from them, we only got a text from Jay assuring us that they are safe, they are still yet to clear the air on all of this."Sir, your 11:00 is here" my secretary informed me,"Okay then, I will be them shortly" I dismissed."Mr. Russo, we were made to believe you are the sole heir to your father's company, so when we have problems with how our business with them is moving we are to question you" one of them spoke up, he was the CEO of Nash Textile and Designs, it was rumored a few years ago that his first son Dexter died of chronic lung disease, leaving him with only one son, Matteo, who from my findings was the black sheep of the family, he was a gentleman to the most of my knowledge but at this point, he was getting on my nerves real quick,"Mr.Nash, right?" I asked for confirmation, he replied with a curt nod and I took that as a sign to continue,"I unders
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Seventy-Catherine
Catherine's POVIt was bitch black everywhere, they didn't need the blindfold, probably why they took it off. The pain radiating through my body was strong enough to kill me but they didn't physically hurt me at least not yet, made me wonder why everywhere hurt so much, at this point I don't think I could stay here anymore or I might die. I fought to control the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes, I could hear hushed voices from outside but I couldn't make out what they were saying, the ropes around my wrists and ankles seemed they were meant to cut off my blood supply and not keep me put, what's with this people?The voices stopped and footsteps followed suit, they were coming, I can't take any more of whatever this is. The door suddenly swung open and I was greeted by the bright light from outside making me shut my eyes quickly, I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the bright light, there were three of them and they all had masks on,"You know today is your lucky day
