Jace's POV

"Sir your meeting starts in 30 minutes" I heard someone say from the door, making me sit up from my seat as the bimbo on my laps fell to the ground due to her lack of warning,

"Ok then, inform Jay and Brandon we will be leaving in 10 minutes" I said in a gruff voice, and she nodded before hurrying out, and now she just killed my mood,

"Get up and get out" I told the bimbo that I don't know her name, no surprise there it's difficult remembering any of their names,

"Wait, what?" She asked looking all confused and by the way, still on the ground, is she waiting for me to help her up or something because if she is, then she should get ready to clean the floors then,

"You heard me" I said, facing the files in my table that needed my attention,

"We haven't completed what we started" she said trying to sound sexy, but it just pissed me off the more,

"Don't let me repeat myself, Janet" I said trying to keep my cool, though I was getting really impatient with her,

"My name is Brittany" she said well squealed and that was it,

"Security come take out this trash" I said into the AirPods on my ear,

"You have got to be kidding me" she said finally getting up and dusting herself, guess she realized she couldn't clean the floor to my taste,

"Sir" one of my bodyguards said from the door and I nodded signalling him to come in, I simply glanced at the bimbo and he quickly got the hint,

"Don't come near me, I can help myself out" she said grabbing her purse and walking out but not before sliding a piece of paper containing what I guess should be her number to me, so much for her being angry.

"Get my black limo ready I have a meeting in a few minutes" I said to the bodyguard, he gave me a curt nod before walking out,

"If anyone calls you know what to say right?" I asked my secretary as I walked out of my office, locking the door behind me,

"Yes sir, but what if your Dad calls?"she asked in a small voice, knowing she hit a nerve,

"Like I said you know what to say" I said, walking away before I say something I didn't want to

***********

"Come on, we are late already" I heard Brandon say as I stepped out of the large building,

"It's not like they can start the meeting without us" I said with a shrug as I got into the limo,

"Still we shouldn't be late it doesn't say good about us" he said making me roll my eyes,

"Stop acting like you are a saint or something, I am pretty sure you don't want to go" I said turning to face him,

"I am better than this big head here, he kept on whining that you just cock blocked him and stuffs like that, apparently he was about to get it when you sent Jamie to come get us" he said referring to my little brother who stuck his tongue out at him,

"I didn't ask you to remind me" Jay said, making me burst out laughing,

"The irony that I cock blocked myself "I said in between laughter,

"Does it mean I am the only sane and decent guy in our midst?" Brandon asked, making both Jay and I give him a skeptical look,

"That's cause you claim you have a girlfriend you love, it's funny how Lisa turned you into a love sick puppy "I said,

"You won't get it until a girl sweeps you off your feet" he said, ignoring the looks he was getting from Jay and me,

"Yea, not happening "I said shaking my head,

"Don't be so sure, after all that girl back in high school did it, what's her name again, ha right Paige" he said and I froze midair,

"That's true bro, you never told is what really happened between the both of you" Jay chirped in and just like that my mood died,

"Like is said earlier nothing, we just got tired and decided to have a break then she moved" I muttered turning away from them,

"Yea right, but you are still stuck up for her" Brandon said totally not believing me, but I couldn't say anything to them, I just couldn't, I still remember that day like it was yesterday, the day that still haunts me...

* Flashback*

"You can't just deny everything just like that" Paige screamed at me as tears gathered in her eyes, she was showing me her pain, how much my words were affecting her, but I just couldn't think straight with the news she just dropped,

"Well watch me" I said casually crashing on the sofa beside my desk,

"We have to find a solution to this pregnancy, you can't expect me to abort our baby" she said, wait who talked about abortion here of course she won't do that, but I just can't, I have a future ahead of me,

"Your baby not ours" I said, shocking both her and myself, I love her, but I just can't, My Dad won't take this lightly and I can't afford to let anything come between me and my future,

"Are you seriously denying sleeping with me and getting me pregnant" She screamed at me as she finally let the tears fall, at that moment I was tempted to hug her and apologize accept the baby and work something out but something just kept holding me back keeping me rooted to a spot,

"Look I accept that I slept with you, but I definitely didn't get you pregnant, why don't you ask all your numerous lovers maybe one of them will accept that they released their semen into you" I said tried to act unfazed by her tears when it was literally killing me inside, I knew very well that she didn't have any lovers or any guy apart from me, but I just had to say something, just something,

"What are you talking about, I don't have any other boyfriend apart from you"she said as her tears dropped without control,

"Oh, please spare me all these, whenever you are done with this drama leave and shut the door behind you"I said because I was already at the verge of losing my control, I just wanted to ignore my father's warnings and hug her, kiss her anything to stop her tears, but I knew he wasn't bluffing,

"Just so you know, if anyone asks you who is responsible for that thing you're carrying, and you mistakenly call my name, I promise you I will deny ever knowing you at all and trust me when I say I'll make your life miserable" I finally said as I walked into my bathroom shutting the door behind me but not before seeing the broken look on her face and in that minute I regretted everything I just said, but I couldn't take them back, I didn't hear her voice or cries any more, so I assumed she left, and she really did, she left for good, I never saw her again........

*Present day*

I looked for her everywhere, her mother was a mess without her which fuelled my guilt the more, she never came to school again, her mum showed me the letter she left and that's when I realized I made the greatest mistake of my life,

I had to find a way help her mum without letting her know I was the cause of everything and up until this day I always make sure I find time for her, she hasn't been herself since the incident, but I guess she is better than she would have been without my help,

Every day, I sit and wonder, where did she run off too?, did she give birth?, did she keep that child after all?, if she did, I want to know if it's a boy or girl, if he or she looks like me or her or both?, will I ever see her again?, will I ever get to apologize?, is she still alive?, I know I shouldn't think like that, but I can't help it, no social media has anything about her from that day onwards, I have tried so many detectives, but they all come out with little or nothing to help find her,

Every so often I blame my Dad for all of this, he knew she was pregnant, and he made me reject her, he used his money to his advantage once again, right now, I know that's not an excuse, but then I was living off his money then if he had kept to his threat I would have been left with nothing, I still can't bring myself to look at my father the same way after day, I felt he hated me, all he ever cared about was his money and now that I made mine all on my own he wants to merge our company, but I can't let it, he should go to hell for all I care......

    Jace’s POV"You guys go ahead I am right behind you" I said to Brandon and Jay as we got to our destination,"Are you good?" Brandon asked noticing my new profound foul mood,"Yea" I shrugged him off, I sat in the car for a few minutes talking deep breaths while trying to clear my head before walking into the company,"Time to get this over with" I muttered as I got to the receptionist, she quickly directed to where the elevator was saying someone will be there to take me to the conference room, but I didn't miss the once over she gave me, well, most females look at me like walking sex god so nothing new there,"I'm Vanessa Sir, nice to meet you" an overly excited woman said as soon as the elevator door opened, I fought the urge to roll my eyes at her and just nodded saying she should lead the way,"Mr. Grayson will be with you shortly" I heard someone say from where I guess is the conference room, but that voice, it sounds.... familiar, the door opened before I could ask the lady in

I said as I got to Grayson's office,"Take a seat" he said with a gloomy look that confirmed my suspicions, something was definitely wrong,I stared at the ground waiting for Grayson to say something, anything but instead the tension in the air just increased and so did my curiosity,"Uhm... Is something wrong?" I asked when I realized Grayson wasn't going to say anything,"You're fired" he finally whispered, not looking at me, but I didn't need him to speak any louder I heard him very loud and clear, I couldn't say anything, so I just stared, this can't be happening to me......not now just when I thought things were starting to get better,"I am sorry Paige, I really am, but my hands are tied" he said, making me scoff angrily,"Last I checked, the company was yours, your hands can't be tied you just want me out so badly" I said with so much bitterness in my tone, but

I asked no one in particular as I stretched on my bed, but then I was hit with a large pounding in my head, making me groan as I laid back down,"This is worse than any headache I have ever had, note to self never drink again" I said holding my head as the throbbing increased,I glanced at my bedside clock trying to read the time,"Shit it's noon ....... where's my baby" I panicked, ignoring the pain in my head as I managed to get up and walk to Alex's room, when I walked in I couldn't find him there,"well of course it's noon, I'm sure he tried waking me up" I muttered heading downstairs with my head still in my hands, I feel so heavy I could literally drop at any time,"Alex ... Alex" I called out as I got to the last stairs,"Mummy" I heard him shout from the kitchen before he came in sight running to me,"Oh my baby, I am so sorry" I said, bending to his level so he could hug me,"Why are you apologizing, Mrs. Rivers said you got home so late from wo

    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 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

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

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

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

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
