Paige's POV

"Alex, are you okay?" I asked frantic looking around his body for any sign of blood,

"I'm fine Mummy but I am scared" he said in a shaky voice trying to pull me closer to him, I pulled him closer placing a kiss on his forehead. Glancing around everyone looked quite shaken up by the sudden gunshot but no one looked injured,

"Who got shot?" Jace finally spoke up springing to action, he picked up his phone probably calling the police or maybe an ambulance but I couldn't take my eyes off the broken window by the side, the person knew exactly where everyone was and it didn't look like a missed shot,

"Mr.Thomas??" Lisa suddenly called out in a shaken voice making everyone turn to him,

"I'm really sorry, Paige" he muttered as blood pooled from his mouth, that was when I noticed his bloody left hand clutched to his stomach like his life depended on it,

"Fuck, call an ambulance Jace" I cursed out, he can't die, he is supposed to help me find my child,

    Jace's POV"Mum really wants you to visit, you have not come to see her since that day" Jay started as we discussed over a bottle of drink,"I will be there tomorrow before I travel" I informed him taking a sip of my drink,"Travel?" Jay asked confused, apparently he had gone MIA since our last conversation and decided to pop into my house in the middle of the day requesting that we discuss,"Yes, Paige and I need to go to New Zealand" I explained,"Don't tell me you guys are going on honeymoon before you even get engaged" He joked earning a shove from me,"It's nothing of that kind, I don't even see Paige wanting to date me anytime from now not to think about marriage so get your mind out of the gutter" I replied rolling my eyes,"I know you want that" he suddenly said his tone becoming serious,"Want what?" I asked feigning innocence,"Oh please, everyone sees the way you look at her, the longing is very evident" he scoffed," I messed up big time, it's not so easy to just act like

    Catherine's POV I stood in front of his house contemplating my next actions ignoring the rain pouring heavily on me, I knew the damage I had caused but I had no other option,"You should come in or you will catch a cold, he is in his room by the way "Cindy his secretary advised from the front door, she seemed to have noticed I had been standing out here for quite some time now, It wasn't much of a surprise meeting her here since he had not been in the office for some days,"Thank you, I will be in shortly" I replied nervously, she nodded before heading back inside, I took a few deep breaths before following suit making sure to take off my wet shoes before going in.I stood in front of his room door prepping myself before I finally knocked, I waited for a few minutes without a reply then I took the bold step of going in,"What are you doing here?" He spoke up harshly his voice echoing in the dark room startling me a little,"And I don't remember asking you to come in," he said again

    Paige's POV"Paige, please you have to understand it was a mistake"Jace repeated for the umpteenth time since the incident the day before,"You know I don't really care right, nothing about your life is my business, I just want to find my child and take care of my children together, I have nothing to say to you" I lied in a monotone voice pulling my box out from my room, to be honest, I have not been able to get the incident out of my head, the child is the same age with the twins meaning he actually cheated on me before that day, so he rejected his children because of another woman, everything is clearer now,"Please don't say that Paige, it's your business, it has always been your business" he pleaded trying to help with my box,"I would appreciate it if you would let me," I said pulling the box out of his reach,"Paige please, you have to understand I didn't hurt you intentionally" he kept on begging,"Who said you hurt me?, look you can do all of this for whoever is interested to

    Paige's POVMum has been crying non-stop since we got back, I have tried everything but she won't even let me into her room, she dashed off immediately her shock wore off without saying a word, we had to take her home since she didn't know her way around and insisted she would not be going back into the office for any meeting,"How are you feeling ?" Lisa asked after a moment of silence, luckily she called right in time so I just vented out to her,"My feelings right now are not my priority, besides how am I expected to feel, he hurt my mother not me so that question should be directed at her" I answered like I was stating facts,"You know that's not true, he is your father, whom you never met or talked to even for one day, and twenty-one years later you coincidentally meet him while searching for your son, his grandchild, I know you should feel some sort of anger and resentment but is there no curiosity to want to hear his side of the story, to want to get to know him, you know to fi

    Jace's POVI sat in my car patiently waiting for a man I have never even met, he texted in the wee hours of the morning asking me to meet him here alone and that he has vital information about Alvin, I know it was dumb of me to actually follow his orders without questions but right now I am as desperate as I can be,"I didn't think you would show up" I heard someone say from the passenger seat's window making me turn,"And you are?" I asked my guard fully up,"Exactly who you are looking for" he replied with a dark chuckle that suddenly made me feel quite uneasy,"That is not an answer" I threw at him trying to remain patient,"It wasn't meant to be" he smirked,"How did you even get my number?" I asked one of the numerous questions I had piled up,"You are really the wrong questions you know" he replied a sinister smile on his face that unnerved me,"Do not fucking play games with me" I lashed out anger slowly filling my bones,"Calm down son, it is just me" another voice spoke up t

    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

    Paige's POVWe were going home today, and to be honest, a small part of me didn't want to go, it was peaceful here, breakfast together, outings, movie night, we almost looked like an actual family, almost. I guess it's time to face the real world once again and not some fantasy world where I finally got all I ever wanted,"I have a meeting with some of Dad's business associates later today but I have to take you out before then" Jace informed, we were on our way to the airport and I was already feeling nervous, plus the sexual tension between Jace and I, It is only a miracle that I can still keep my hands to myself, but I couldn't help but keep fighting, the look of rejection on his face from last night keeps playing in my head, guilt is a bitch,"Uhm, okay" I replied, unsure of how to tell him about my plans with Leon, I couldn't bail again, plus I thought it was time I told him about the kids and Jace, we were never going to work anyways. It was still a bit early so the boys were

    Jace's POVIf I was asked right now and I said my self-control wasn't hanging by a thread of restraint then I should be tagged a very bad liar because even the large bulge down there was enough evidence, and she had no idea how badly I was struggling to keep my hands to myself, all I can think about is fucking her right here on this table,"I will have my usual," I said to the waiter handing back the menu,"Okay, I will be back shortly" he replied before turning to leave,"They make really nice steaks here" I spoke up starting a conversation hoping to distract myself a little from my current thoughts,"I have always preferred making my steaks myself" she murmured making me chuckle,"Don't worry you will like it" I assured,"I hope so" she shrugged, her eyes occasionally glancing at the large glass beside us taking in the beautiful view of the city and also giving me a perfect view of her beautiful face and that very sexy cleavage of hers, the glint in her eyes warmed my heart in ways

    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

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
