Paige's POVFor the past three days, Jace has been acting quite strange and that is when he is around, for most of the day he just disappears and comes back right before dinner, I would have asked but he would think I care and I can't have that,"Can you get me a glass of orange juice please" Mum requested not taking her eyes off the reality show she seemed to have found a sudden interest in,"Okay," I replied walking to the kitchen,"Here you go," I said offering her the drink,She stretched out her hand to take it her gaze still fixated on her show, "Thank you my child" she appreciated."Mum" I called out after a few minutes,"Yes," she answered,"Have you noticed anything up with Jace recently?" I asked just to be sure it's not all in my head,"He seems to have something keeping him occupied" she replied with divided attention,"I feel like something is wrong but I don't want to directly ask him" I confessed,"And why is that?" she asked finally focusing her attention on me,"He wi

Paige's POVI stood in front of the mirror staring at the very visible hickey sitting comfortably on my neck as last night replayed in my head, what was I even thinking,"Well hello to my favorite person in the whole world," Lisa squealed over the phone,"We both know I am no longer your favorite person in the world so don't flatter me" I scoffed a small smile on my face,"I am hurt, I can't believe you think I can replace you so easily," she said in a fake sad tone,"Oh please, I am already trying to get used to it, Brandon replaced me long ago" I replied laughing at her melodrama,"I can't replace my best girl with some guy that just proposed," she said excitement filling her voice as she said the last part,"Really?" I squealed,"Yes, girl you need to see this ring, I just sent you a photo of it, he knows how to get to me," she said excitedly,"This is really pretty" I expressed staring at the picture she sent to me,"I know right, if you weren't so far away we would have celebrate

Paige's POV"So you are saying I would have to go in myself?" I asked trying to put everything together,"It's the best option, you are his mother so there should be a bond of some kind between the both of you, if someone else tries to bring him out we are not sure he won't put up a scene that would bring attention" Liam explained,"I understand" I muttered lost in thought,"You are not going to do it, are you?" Jace fired his voice deadly calm,"If it is the only way then why not?" I answered back sarcastically,"You don't fucking get it, do you, those people are dangerous, they could put a bullet right through you without any of us even noticing" he replied tugging at his hair, a habit he always does when he is tensed about something,"That is why we are there to protect her" Carlos spoke up,"Is anyone going to follow her in?" Jace asked with a raised eyebrow, his eyes focused on their facial expressions probably waiting for them to do something suspicious,"We are not very sure ab

Unknown POV"We will be moving the children after the banquet" I informed their caretaker over the phone,"But sir, you said we would still be here for the next two years at least" she replied in her usual tiny voice that always irritated me,"Plans changed, last I checked I don't answer to you but the other way round, I am only informing you so you can get them ready and nothing more" I snapped at her,"I'm sorry sir, I would start getting them ready" she answered as I ended the call having no more words to say to her,"Is everything set?" I asked my driver as I walked down the marble stairs,"Yes sir, the banquet will begin in fifteen minutes, we will be there right in time" he informed his gaze fixated on the ground avoiding any form of eye contact,"Let's go then" I instructed letting him lead the way as I dialed his number,"Dad" he answered on the first ring,"You ready?" I asked a small smile on my face as I thought about our well-mapped plan,"As ready as I can ever be" he ans

Paige's POV-The Save (part one)"Paige, Can we talk?" Liam requested as I stood to leave the sitting room, apparently Mum insisted Jace and Carlos should come up with the perfect plan and get back to us in three hours so they were excused and Mum claimed she was hungry and needed to eat something quickly but I am pretty sure she is just avoiding giving Liam the chance to even speak to her leaving me all alone with him,"About?" I asked in a monotone voice making sure I didn't sound so rude,"Please just sit" he pleaded tapping on the space beside him, realising a sigh I sat back down on the sofa opposite him maintaining my distance,"I understand you probably hate me" he started and I chuckled lightly,"I don't hate you, maybe you could say that to Mum, I am sad and disappointed if I should put it that way" I replied,"You should hate me, I should have been there, I should have been the father you needed, you didn't have to grow up without a father figure," he said and

Paige's POV-The Save(Part Two)"Stay by side no matter what, okay" Carlos instructed softly as we approached the cottage, I simply nodded taking in deep breaths to remain calm,"Like I have a choice" I replied rolling my eyes,"I advise you to speak to me with some respect for the meantime at least," he said in a mocking tone,"You wish" I shot at him chuckling silently,"It's fine, I will just remain outside here while you go in," he said suddenly stopping,"This is no time for jokes Carlos" I warned looking around to be sure no one had seen us already, for a place where kidnapped children are kept there seems to be no camera or security around,"It is to avoid suspicions" Carlos suddenly said,"Huh?" I expressed confused,"You are probably wondering why there are no cameras around" he replied with raised eyebrows,"Ohh, don't they think people can easily come in or something?" I asked,"Trust me, it is only because you know the truth, On a normal day nothing will make you suspect a

Paige's POV-The Save(Part Three)"What do you mean by he is not here?" I asked fear gripping me, 'What if they have killed him already', 'What if we are too late',"They took him away earlier this morning" she whispered cutting my wild thoughts short,"Took him to where?" I asked trying to ignore the pain slowly spreading through me,"Where they take the others" she answered leaving me confused,"I don't understand" I replied,"He is not coming back, they never come back" she continued her voice drifting at the end,"What do you mean by they never come back?, talk to me please" I pleaded trying to contain the tears that threatened to fall,"I don't know what happens to them but they just never come back" she replied,"So you are saying I won't see my son again?" I asked tears slowly falling from my eyes,"I don't know" she answered her gaze fixed on the ground like she couldn't bear to look at me,"You are not making any sense" I snapped regretting it immediately as she flinched takin

Paige's POV-The Save(Final Part)"Alvin?" I gasped tears dropping from my eyes at the sight but I couldn't look away, what kind of monster does this to a six-year-old,"Alvin" Claire called out breaking free from my hold and running over to where he was tied up, she quickly took off the gag from his mouth,"Claire" he cried out his voice cracked and inaudible,"What have they done to you?" She cried out her hands brushing away a few smears of blood on his face that she could remove but she couldn't do much, there was blood everywhere I couldn't even tell exactly where he was injured, the ropes around his body and hands looked like they are meant to kill him and not even hold him down, they will definitely bruise with how tight they look, a six-year-old won't even go so far if he is to try escaping so why hold him down in such a manner,"What..are you..doing here?...they will take you...away too" he coughed out taking in deep breaths at intervals like he was struggling to even breathe,

Unknown POV"Boss, the police are here" Albert, my newest recruit informed me."Handle them, they shouldn't be much of a problem if you tell them exactly what they want to hear" I instructed my gaze fixed on the TV screen."Right away sir" he replied before walking away.Sighing to myself, I smiled, the long-awaited day was slowly drawing close, and I would finally get all I had ever wanted.Knock.Knock.Knock."I would like to believe he is dead now" I stated."Yes sir, he is" Authur answered immediately although there was something off about him like he refrained from telling me something I should know."He better be or you will take his place and trust me he had a really nicer death compared to what I will do to you" I threatened lighting the cigarette between my lips."I understand, Sir" he quivered, something is definitely up with him and I will find out."Good, go and help Albert out with the police and if they insist on anything at all finish them off" I instructed dismissing hi

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

Paige's POV"Wait till you see the jewelry store, it literally glitters" Jave said excitedly but I was too shocked to give any reply, "The jewelry store?"I asked, confused, it can't be, right?"It's yours too, sweetheart" "I don't understand, Jace" I muttered as tears sprang to my eyes,"There is nothing to understand, sweetheart, you deserve even more but I will like to start somewhere" he replied softly, why was he acting like this was just anything, a fucking dance studio, I had killed this dream years ago,"You are an asshole, you know" I snapped letting the tears fall from my eyes as I am into his warm embrace,"You are welcome, sweetheart" he whispered into my ear, holding me tight while I sobbed on him. My heart felt so heavy yet light, it was like a dream come true."I will take this as a yes" he mumbled,"Yes Jace, I love it, it is perfect, it has everything" I cried,"I am glad to hear that, a part of me was scared I would flop it""No you didn't, but how long has this bee
