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,

"I know you hurt me but you do

    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

This accident made me realize that life is indeed short and I am ready to spend the rest of my days making Paige see how important she is to me,"I promise to do it right" I assured not missing the silent smile on Brandon's face at Lisa's words,"The fear in your eyes is perfect proof that you know I am not kidding about this" she replied, a look of contentment on her face probably because she was so sure I took her threat seriously,"Exactly" I muttered rolling my eyes,"Paige, you have to come quic

    Paige's POV"Mum, mum" I called out from the sitting room panic filling me as I was greeted with silence, it was only a few minutes past 8 pm, she wouldn't have gone to bed so soon,"Mum" I continued yelling heading towards her room but I stopped in my tracks when I heard hushed voices coming from down the hall where here room was, grabbing the closest flower vase I could find, I slowly headed towards her room trying to even my breathing,"Mum?" I whispered as I got to the door, when I didn't get a reply, I took a deep breath before pushing the door preparing myself for the worst."What the hell?" I exclaimed not expecting the sight before me,"I didn't think you would be back for another hour sweetie, what's wrong?" Mum quickly said sitting up from the bed where she lay with Dad, no soothsayer was needed to know what they had just done, their littered clothes were enough evidence,"Lisa didn't call you?

I asked staring at her, her brows slowly folded as a frown formed on her face,"Jace, please tell me this is a joke" she muttered tears forming in her eyes,"I don't understand, I feel like I am missing something here" I continued maintaining the confusion that was written on my face,"Obviously, Me, how can you forget me? I am going to call the doctor, something is definitely wrong" she cried, heading to the door, the pain on her face indescribable. ~~~~I couldn't make out the conversation she was having with the doctor due to the distance between us but from the look on Paige's face, it seemed like the doctor wasn't giving her any positive news,

I asked dropping his hands as shock and confusion took over,"You don't remember me?" I asked again in disbelief trying to fight the truth that was staring at me,"Am I supposed to?" He asked staring at me with so much shock and confusion, there wasn't a glint of recognition in his eyes, and the pain in my heart grew as I realized I wasn't dreaming,"Jace, please tell me this is a joke" I pleaded as my eyes stung from unshed tears,"I don't understand, I feel like I am missing something here" he said staring at me like I had suddenly grown two heads,"Obviously, Me, how can you forget me? I am going to call the doctor, something is definitely wrong" I cried out walking to the door. ~~~~"I can't tell what the problem is, we have run several tests on him and none of the results show any sign or t

    Paige's POV"He was here a few hours ago insisting that he must see his sons but with the suspicions and everything we couldn't let him anywhere close to you guys and now he is dead?" I said asking no one in particular, the body was indeed confirmed to be Mr.Russo's body, apparently, the body was dropped there exactly an hour after he had left the hospital in anger, but that wasn't the scariest part of it all, excluding the bullet to the head that must have killed him, there was a writing on his back, that must have been inscribed with something very sharp to have achieved the cursive writing,'You three just got lucky, unfortunately, your luck didn't extend to him'"I guess we were wrong about our suspicions then" Brandon muttered, the cop had stayed to gather all the information he could from everyone before leaving assuring us that he would keep in touch, Jay had woken up a few minutes after that and we had to fill him in on everything,"Someone outside our family is after us and f

    Paige's POV"Luckily, he didn't sustain any primary blast injury from the explosion, just secondary injuries, he has a severe head injury hence the surgery, a dislocated arm, and a few injuries to his soft tissues but we were able to stabilize him although we would still need to keep an eye on him for at least a week to be sure we didn't miss any injuries. Injuries gotten from explosions may not be noticed until it late as they are usually internal injuries " the doctor informed writing down what I presume to be Jace's prescriptions as he spoke,"Will he be okay?" I asked trying to calm my heart, he is stable now at least,"Well, for now, we can only hope that he recovers quickly and he doesn't have any relapse" he answered stretching to hand me the prescription,"Just give it to the nurse by the reception, she knows what to do" he instructed,"Thank you" I appreciated getting up to leave,"Your husband is a real fighter, most people wouldn't have even made it to the hospital with the

    Unknown POV"Just one job and you couldn't do it right, huh?" I yelled at the good-for-nothing assassin I hired to get rid of those boys,"I didn't think they would notice the bomb early enough to escape" he cried out, the blood dripping to the floor from the knife I rooted deep into his left arm which was the only thing preventing me from putting a bullet through his head, he is in pain at least,"And you had to do it in front of the old man's damn company? Did you know I was in there, what if the explosion had caught the attention of the police and they had seen me sneaking out, do you know what they would have thought?" I asked,"I'm sorry, I didn't know" he pleaded, dead people don't beg right because there is no way he is making it out of here alive,"Do you know what you have caused me? I will have to kill the old man earlier than I planned as this has raised their suspicions, he doesn't look like the type that won't snitch with a bullet to the head and that's not good for me" I

Lisa asked hurrying over to where I stood staring at my blank phone screen in shock,"We have to go to the hospital, now" I answered snapping out of my reverie,"Wait, why? Who was that?" she asked frantically as we both walked out of the kitchen leaving everything behind,"They were attacked, I don't know how bad it was but the doctor said Jace may not make it" I murmured breathing through the pain in my heart as I thought of it,"Oh my goodness, that sounds bad already" she gasped in shock,"I can't take the kids there right now, get the car started, let me inform Mum so she can keep an eye on them," I said heading towards the stairs. The loud beating of my heart was the perfect reminder that even with everything that had happened in the past, I couldn't handle losing him. ****"What happened?" we asked once we spotted a frantic Catherine at the reception,"I couldn't get much information from any of

I asked Lisa while we prepared lunch, I had been meaning to ask this question for over a week now but I couldn't find the appropriate time until now,Releasing a sigh she glanced at me, " To be honest, I have been thinking of moving it" she answered lowly,"Why will you want to do that?" I gasped shocked at her reply, I don't know what I was expecting but it was definitely not this,"Why not, Paige, with everything that is going on, Mrs.Russo's death, the suspicions, Brandon, Jay, and Jace playing cops, there is no space for a wedding, Brandon barely mentions it these days, it is like it is not even on his mind anymore and I don't want to seem like the bugging fianćee that doesn't want to understand but it would be a lot better if he told me straight up he wasn't interested anymore instead of ignoring the subject matter" she answered, the sadness in her voice hurt me more than words could express, I didn't realize all these problem
