Paige's POV

The children were at school and I was frantically pacing my room trying to give myself moral support from anywhere for what I was about to do,I don't even know why this was what came to mind,but I really want to help Sofya ,at this point I needed someone to tell me I was doing the right things but Grace travelled with her husband for a family vacation and I don't want to disturb her with calls about my problems but I am really panicking here.

I stood in front of the mirror for the umpteenth time this morning trying to come up with the right outfit,I needed to look professional, I don't want people looking at me like I am under them that would reduce my confidence, I finally settled for a black pencil skirt and a flowered blouse and flat shoes,I couldn't bring myself to eat anything so I forfeited breakfast.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"I am here to see Jace Russo" I told the receptionist after much mental encouragement outside,

"Do you have an appointment?"

    Jace's POV"Paige,you are okay,breathe baby,breathe" I soothed as she hyperventilated in my arms,she was having a panic attack and here I am also panicking with her,"Fuck" I cursed when it seemed like nothing was working,"Please breathe"I whispered trying to contain my fear,she seemed to be in another word of her own,"What the fuck is going on here?"I heard Brandon's voice from the the door but I didn't bother looking up still trying to get here to breathe,she was slipping in and out of consciousness muttering incoherent words to herself,"She's having a panic attack"another voice said,I know that voice and it definitely doesn't belong to Brandon, it doesn't even belong to a man,"Lisa??" I called out shocked,"Flesh and blood,now move she needs air"She ordered and I didn't even know I did just that and let her take over,Lisa handled the whole situation so well I felt so stupid couldn't even do any of the things she did,when did Paige start having panic attacks???...

    Paige's POV"Lisa??" I asked shocked,I couldn't believe my eyes,I was staring at my best friend since childhood after six whole years,"Paige"she cried out engulfing me in a tight hug,"I am so sorry I didn't know,I would have known something was wrong,I didn't pay so much attention like I was supposed to"she cried on my shoulders,am I not the one supposed to apologize?"What are you apologizing for?" I asked confused,"Jace told me everything,why didn't you come to me,you shouldn't have left that way" she cried on,"I should be the one apologizing,I didn't really think how my disappearance will affect anybody, I was just so scared" I muttered as tears fell from my eyes, I missed her so much,"I don't blame you for anything"she answered still not letting go,"I would have taken a better decision,I just panicked" I said sadly,"I am really glad you are okay,where is my godchild please"she said looking around like she was actually expecting to see him,"In school" I answered sniffing,"

    Jace's POV"Have you finally come to your senses?" My dearest father said as I walked into his office he suddenly moved to the house,Brandon trailing closely behind"That you are nothing but a selfish bastard,yes"I lashed out immediately probably shocking him,"I am your father and you must accord me that respect" he commanded hitting his hand on the mahogany desk right in front of him like that was going to shake me,"Or what,you will manipulate me and ruin my life the more?" I asked seething,"What do you mean by that,I have done nothing but want the best for you my son and for the growth of my sons"he acted,"Tell that to who cares,I know what you did six years ago and for your information she's back in my life and I won't let you hurt her again,sometimes I wonder how I let you manipulated me so much that I hurt the woman I love" I lashed out ignoring the look on his face as I mentioned her,he knew what exactly I was talking about,Brandon heard right after all,"I didn't manipulate

    Paige's POVThe commotion downstairs was enough to remind me that things have really changed in the past week, but my excitement of the day is the fact that Grace is finally back in town, and she will be here anytime soon,"Good morning Mum" Alex greeted as I got to the end of the stairs where he ran to me,"How are you, my boy?" I asked, ruffling his hair,"Very fine, Olivia still doesn't want to play with me" he whined,"She will come around, she is not the talking type, try harder, okay" I encouraged,"If you say so mum" he shrugged"Where is Aunt Lisa?" He asked, making me smile, he likes her,"She will be back in the evening" I answered, he nodded before heading back to where the others were playing,~~~~~~~~~~~"Breakfast kids" I hollered from the dining table,"Race you there" I heard Bryan yell before the sound of their tiny footsteps echoed in the hallway,"Don't hurt yourselves" I yelled, chuckling."Mum, Olivia won't let me have the last pancakes" Alex whined,"Don't be thi

    Jace’s POVMiserable is a nice way to put how I have been for the past 3 days, Paige is still being so cold and Jay won't stop pushing me to go visit mum. I have not seen her for 3 years now, so why has become such an issue,"Why have you been moodier than usual these past few days?" Brandon asked as we walked into my office,"It's nothing" I mumbled, increasing my pace to avoid his questions,"Tell that to someone just met you and who doesn't know you" he replied with a chuckle,"It's nothing serious just drop it" I insisted, I really don't want to talk,"So you won't talk to me, but you would talk to Paige" he teased, making me roll my eyes,"Don't let me remind me of instances where you would rather talk to Lisa than talk to me" I teased back with a small smile, and he smiled back with no argument, he knew what he just did and it worked,"I just can't shake this feeling off" I finally succumbed,"Which feeling if I may ask" he asked,"The feeling that something is wrong, Jay has al

    Jace's POVI kept staring at the one place I have not been for so many years now, everything in me screaming how bad this was, but I had to do it as they said. I sat in my car contemplating how I was going to go about it until I heard commotion from inside the house and then the front door swung open,"You know that we realized you were here long time ago so just come out already, Mum is waiting" Jay hollered from the door after staring for a while,I took in a deep breath before taking the bold step of coming down, I stood beside my car just staring at the compound as the feeling of nostalgia hit me, I can remember vividly all the memories I had here before I stopped coming,"After you" he ushered once I got to the front door,"Where is she?" I asked, looking around,"Balcony" he replied pointing towards its direction like I was a visitor here,"I know where it is located, " I muttered,"Just to be certain, you know" he replied with a shrug, I simply ignored the comment and headed to

I asked confused, it cannot be what I am thinking, right,"Exactly what it means, her damn lifestyle has finally caught up with her" Dad replied making me turn my attention to him, I was barely holding myself from hitting him right now,"Mum" I called out again when she didn't answer me the first time, that was when I noticed the silent tears that had started falling from her eyes. I held myself from walking up to her to comfort her, I need answers first,"Jay" I turned to face him when I realized Mum wasn't going to say anything in the state she was in,He glanced at her for an approval, in which she hesitated a little before nodding her head a little, her silent cries turning into loud sobs,"Mum has lung cancer" he finally said, avoiding my eyes,"Lung cancer, how? I don't get it, for how long now?" I asked, realizing I was the only person present who didn't know about this before now, how come Dad knew, and I didn't?,"S

    Paige's POV One day LaterI finally understood what a true miracle felt like. According to the doctors Brandon was dead for a complete thirty minutes, they had claimed they had already exhausted all the resuscitation methods they could think of and had declared him dead but after running another checkup on him they found out he had a faint heartbeat that was why they couldn't detect it, apparently, if he hadn't moved when he did, they wouldn't have known, he would have died "How is he now?" I asked Jace once he walked out of the doctor's office, I needed positive information for Lisa as she had decided she wasn't to going leave Brandon's side till he was out of the hospital but he didn't seem to look like he was waking up anytime soon. The doctors were able to stabilize him but he hasn't said anything since then, no reaction either, he just lay so still, if not for the now beeping heart machine in the ward I wouldn't have believed he was actually

    Brandon's POV"Jay knew too?" I asked in disbelief."He had to come looking for me on the wrong day" he replied."Please help me tell him, it isn't his fault either, he promised" he continued."Fuck all of this" I cursed my anger growing."I know you don't understand a thing but promise you will understand soon but now right now, you have to go or else you wouldn't be able to leave again" he warned but I was feeling too much all of a sudden."I fucking can't, don't you get it. I have no control over myself at the moment, I can't feel a damn thing" I shot angrily."All you have to do is push yourself immediately you feel anything at all, you will know exactly what to do right after that" he replied his voice growing faint."You have to explain things to me Caleb, I am losing it" I said."I really want to but there is no time, you need to leave now brother" he answered."Caleb" I called but my voice seemed to have grown mute as the white light from earlier flashed and then loud sirens n

    Brandon's POVPitch Black. Total Darkness. Emptiness.That was all I could make out, I suddenly couldn't feel anything anymore, the pain from the fall wasn't there anymore, and the bruises from the ropes were gone too, it was like it never happened but my mind told me otherwise.I could hear hushed voices but they were too low to make out anything."Brandon" someone called out, it was a voice I could recognize anywhere any day."Caleb" I muttered in shock, blinking continuously in disbelief, it can't be."Brother" he answered nodding his head for extra confirmation."But...but...you are dead, I watched them lower you into the ground" I whispered taking an involuntary step backward as he came closer."And so are you" he replied shocking me, and everything suddenly made sense, the darkness, the numbness, the hushed voices."It can't be, no way, how?" I spiraled out in disbelief."You let your fear get the best of you, you let your fear win, Brandon" Caleb replied with a look of disappoi

    Jace's POV"Lisa, breathe, please calm down" Paige cooed quickly shooting up from the bed and signaling me to go start the car while she gets the kids."I can't, Paige, he should wake up and answer me, he can't do this" Lisa cried out her voice breaking at the end, the tension in the room grew as Paige turned to look at me the same fear I was sure was written all over my face on her face too."Jay" I spoke up once he picked on the first ring, it seemed like he found it difficult to sleep too."The police called" I started not knowing how to relay the message I just received."Has he been found?" Jay asked his voice tensed."Yes," I answered in a clipped voice."Okay, that's good news," he said releasing a sigh of relief."Where is he now?" Jay asked immediately followed by some background shuffling like he was getting up from where he lay."The hospital" I muttered knowing fully well I was only building the suspense and anxiety."Wait what, why? What happened?" he questioned, I paused

    Paige's POV"Still nothing?" I asked Jace as he walked into the house looking distressed and worked up."Nothing" he sighed plopping down on the couch."And the police?" I asked walking up to where he sat."They wanted to give me bullshit about it not being a kidnap since it has not been up to twenty-four hours since we last saw him" he started making me snap."The hell, the blood trail, the broken phone, and the car that was left by the bridge wasn't enough reason to declare it a kidnap??" I retorted angrily."You ask me but I taught them the exact lesson they needed, they are searching for him as we speak" he replied."That's more like it, Lisa is slowly losing it" I responded in a calmer voice."I sent Jay to check on her," he muttered."Oh, that is so nice of you both" I replied with a small smile."Brandon would have done the same for me, for us" he mumbled sadly."Come on, I made dinner, I know you have not eaten all day," I said softly, trying to lighten up the mood."I am not

    Unknown POV"I hope you didn't leave any trail behind?" I asked as I walked up to where he stood."No sir" he quickly replied, his eyes fixed on the ground as if his life depended on it, and for the record it actually did."Good, because I wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet to your head the same way I did to the last five before you" I threatened with a dark smile on my face as I watched him fidget."Where is he?" I asked again."The basement" he quivered."Okay then, shall we?" I gestured."Uhm, Sir..." he started his eyes darting, funny enough I knew exactly what he wanted to say."They will find out soon anyways, so why wait now?" I questioned with raised eyebrows."But..." he stuttered again, stopping his words midway when he noticed my hands now positioned behind my back ready to pull out my favorite toy."I am sorry" he quickly said, leading the way, how good it feels to hold so much power. ~~~~"Shit" My little pr

She answered in a sleepy voice,"Is Brandon home?" I asked going straight to the point c"No, he came to check up on me but he left home over an hour ago, he said you both had an important meeting to attend" she answered sounding shocked at my question,"Over an hour ago?" I repeated confused, he should have gotten here by now,"How is that even possible?" I muttered,"He isn't there yet," she said more like a statement than a question, she sounded wide awake now,"No, he isn't and I can't do the meeting without him" I replie
