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"We have to be quiet, it is the only way we can get you girls out of here without drawing his attention, there was another man with him when we walked in and we don't know if they are together now so we can't risk it," One of the guys said, I think I heard Jace call him Arthur once,"How are we going to pass through without being noticed? He was standing really close to the door when we entered here like he wanted to be sure we didn't leave" Lisa voiced out the same question I wanted to ask,"There is a back door in a room behind the counter, I would cause a distraction while Arthur here will lead you both out and drive you home" the other guy answered this time, he seemed to be the stricter one,"That seems like a better option" Lisa muttered and I nodded in agreement,"Remember to be extra quiet" he reminded and we nodded simultaneously before he turned to leave,"We would give him five minutes to cause a distraction and then we would make a run for it, follow my lead, a

    Paige's POV"Hmm, did anything happen recently?"Brandon asked breaking the sudden silence that fell between us, Grace and Mum had joined us leaving the kids with Claire,"None that I know of, she never complained of anything" Jay answered lost in thoughts, I was about to speak up when he shot up,"Wait..." he snapped a look of realization on his face,"I overheard her conversation with Mrs. Smith over the weekend, something about her dad threatening her" he blurted,"Threatening her? Why will her dad threaten her?""Brandon asked,"It can't be, that Man adores his daughter, he always has," Jace said,"That's what he wanted you all to think, that man is nothing but a monster" Jay sneered anger filling his voice as he spoke about a man I didn't know about until now,"Why am I not surprised?" Grace muttered rolling her eyes,"What do you mean?"Jace asked looking utterly confused,"Her father wasn't always like that" Jay started, he didn't look like someone who wanted to say what he had to

    Paige's POV"What do you think will be wrong with Catherine?" I asked Lisa, we were currently preparing dinner,"I don't know but her Dad is now a suspect on my list" she replied,"I agree, she always seemed like a spoilt daddy's girl, this is just shocking" I voiced out my thought,"I knew something was wrong somewhere when you told me she came to apologize," she said"This just makes everything so much more complicated" I muttered with a small sigh,"Hopefully everything will unfold soon," Lisa said in quiet empathy,"Have you checked it?"I asked changing the topic,"No not yet, I'm scared" she admitted,"Trust me when I say I can relate, do you want me to check it with you?" I asked softly,She smiled before replying, "I would love that""Okay let's quickly finish up and we will go check it out," I said cheerily. ~~~~"You would have to pee on it and wait for at least fifteen minutes, since they are two different strips we would wait

    Paige's POV"A weekend getaway sounds really nice if you ask me, especially for the kids" Lisa spoke up, luckily since we were ok house arrest Brandon and Jace hired masseuses for the day and it's been wonderful,"Yeah but I don't trust Jace around me, we might do something we are not ready for" I muttered,"Or you don't trust yourself around him" she joked wiggling her eyebrows,"Whatever, it's still the same thing" I shot back,"Look Paige, I know you and you wouldn't do anything you don't want to do, I know you are fighting it now but deep down we both know you want this. He hurt you, yes but maybe this is the time for change" she said softly,"What if this isn't that time, what if things don't work out, I don't think I can handle it, Lisa" I admitted, trying to bury the fear that had been trying to resurface since the talk I had with Jace,"It's okay to feel the way you are feeling but it shouldn't stop you from trying, you deserve the best, Paige, and even though Jace may not be

    Jace’s POV“Welcome to Miami” I yelled excitedly,“It’s beautiful” Paige muttered a bright smile and a glow in her eyes as she took in her environment,“Very beautiful” I mumbled in reply my gaze fixed on Paige,“I mean the city, Jace,” Paige said rolling her eyes, but I didn't miss the hidden smile on her face,“I know” I answered cheekily turning to face the kids who stared in awe,“Come on, we need to get going, I have to show you guys a little something” I hollered leading them over to the car I hired for the trip,“Don't worry, our luggage will be taken to the cabin” I assured Paige noticing the way her gaze occasionally moved to our luggage,“You sure?” she asked a skeptical look on her face,“Hundred percent, you seem not to understand what I mean by I have everything planned out” I replied,“Okay then,” she said walking over to where the kids stood beside the car,“We still have somewhere to before heading to the cabin,” I said in a sing-song voice helping the kids get in

    Paige's POV"Fucking Jace Russo" I cursed trying to control the anger in my veins,"Calm down little fella, talk to me what did he do now, do I need to castrate him earlier than I expected?" Lisa beckoned from the phone, I just had to call her because I was starting to lose it,"That asshole is messing with me and he knows it, he freaking enjoys it even" I shot tugging at my hair,"Woah, messing with you how?" Lisa asked sounding utterly confused,"He keeps riling me up, he would come so close like he just wants to whisper something and then when he is sure he is close enough to do whatever he wants he would pull away and act like nothing happened, he fucking knows how he affects me and he is using it to his advantage" I snapped rage brewing in my system as I remembered everything, he has been at it since we got here, sneaking up in my space, getting me all riled up and wanting and then he would disappear, the one that has decided to stick the most is the last one, I was making d

    Paige's POV"Jace?" I mumbled in shock, it was past midnight and he was standing right in front of my room with nothing but shorts on,"I know this looks creepy but I just couldn't sleep" he quickly said,"And why is that?" I asked trying to hide the concern in my voice,"I want to ask you something" he replied,"Really, that's why you can't sleep?" I asked in shock,"I know it sounds absurd, but I really want to do this right" he replied,"What's wrong?" I asked,"Will you go on a date with me tonight?" he asked in a low voice making me burst out in fits of laughter,"Are you being serious?" I asked trying to control my laughter,"Yes I am, I promise it will be fun " he replied staring at me with so much hope in his eyes,"Yes Jace, I will go on a date with you" I answered smiling how nervous he looked,"Thank you," he said excitedly pulling me in for a hug,"Anytime" I muttered shocked at his reaction,"You will love every bit of it," he said so certain as he pulled away,"Hopefully

    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

    Jace's POV"What do you mean by you have not seen him all evening?" I snapped at my secretary,We were having an important meeting and Brandon was nowhere to be found, I have been calling him non-stop but no answer,"I really don't know sir, his secretary informed me of his arrival earlier today but they are both not on seat presently" she answered in a shaky voice,"Just go" I snapped pulling out my phone to call Lisa,"Jace?" 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
