Paige's POV"What's the time?" 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"Any updates?"I asked over the phone,"This seems to be harder than I thought but I was able to get a little information I hope it can help tho"Bryan replied from the other side of the line,"I am listening"I said calmly,"She was arrested this morning"he said making shoot up from my seat,"Wait....... what,why?"I asked as panick set in,"She had a fight with the wife of Theodore Henz, CEO of the Henz industries""When did this happen?"I asked,"The fight happened yesterday evening at the Fair that was organized at the park but she was arrested this morning "he said ,"Thank you,I will contact you again soon"I said ending the call swiftly,I don't care what she did but they must pay for even putting her in handcuffs,"Jamie clear my schedule for the day"I said to my secretary as I walked out of my office,"But Sir you have a very important meeting in 20 minutes "she said lowly probably scared I will lash out on her or something,"Brandon will handle whatever it is"I said di
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"Alex has not come out from his room since he got back from school, he won't eat anything,he won't speak to me,I can't even get a reaction from him even if it's tears, just something "I said sobbing on Grace, apparently he realized I lied to him about his father, now he believes what everyone has been saying is the truth not lies like I told him, I know his father denied him and all but I didn't tell him that guess people really don't know how to mind their business,"Let me try"Grace said walking away to Alex's room leaving I and the devil himself all alone, I was about to walk away to look for something to busy my mind with other than sitting here with the devil when he stopped me,"Remove your filthy hands from me"I screeched like his hands just burned me as I pulled my hands away forcefully,he flinched a little but no it wasn't so noticeable but I noticed it,"Can we talk, please?"he asked,"What on earth do you have to say now that won't make me hate you more than I
Paige's POV"How was school today, my baby ??" I asked Alex as I helped him out of his uniform,"School was school" he said with the usual bored tone he always uses whenever I ask him about school but I don't stop cause I really want him to see the fun in school, he is smart but he doesn't seem so interested,typical his father,"And how was your little drive from school with your Dad" Grace asked knowing fully well I wasn't going to mention him,"It was fine,he offered to take me somewhere but I knew Mum wouldn't want that so i didn't agree besides I don't trust him" he said so seriously I didn't know if I found it funny or not,"Why do you say so?" Grace asked so interested,"Cause mum is always so weary of him and I can't be comfortable around someone my mum is not comfortable with"he said like he stated something so obvious, Grace looked at me like she was blaming me for how my son saw his Dad but I couldn't act like nothing is wrong that's just impossible,I already hate the fact h
Jace's POV"Come in" I said gruffly,"Hey babyy" her whiny little voice started worsening my already bad mood,"What do you want this time Catherine?" I groaned not bothering to even look up"Come on we have not seen in months"She slurred,"Did you come to see me drunk ??" I asked irritation lacing my voice,"Is that any of your business?"she swayed as she spoke confirming my suspicions,"I will not speak to you until you are sober"I simply stated making sure my voice was firm enough so she would know I was serious,"Don't be difficult now Jacy bear,that's no way to speak to your future wife"she slurred making herself comfortable on my chair but that wasn't what caught my her attention her words did,"Future wife you say,you wish" I chuckled,I wonder why she is still keeping up with this lie,I backed out long ago,"Your dad says you are just throwing a tantrum and you'll get over it and I believe him" she said smugly like she did not just say a very stupid thing,"Why don't you go on
Paige's POVI didn't feel so good this morning when I woke up and it's been such a long time that I actually came down with something that I had to visit the hospital,"Miss Paige Moretti" my name was called after 2 long hours of waiting,I was actually getting impatient and in as much as I know Jace is picking Alex up from school today I needed to be home to welcome him.~~~~~~~~~~~I lit my phone screen up as I walked out of the hospital building,1:00 meaning I had an hour before Alex returned,that was enough time to get the groceries I planned on getting and making it back home ,"Paige ??"someone called out so softly but I knew that voice from somewhere that I am sure of,I slowly turned and I froze,"Grayson??"I asked trying to get the shock out of my system,I don't even know why I am so shocked but I definitely didn't expect to see him at a hospital and even worse to look the way he is looking,he looks more than horrible if you ask me,he doesn't look sick but definitely troubled,
Paige's POV"Jace asked of you today when he came to drop Alex off,he has not seen you for almost a week now"Grace started as we made dinner,"Why does he need to see me exactly??" I questioned,"Don't be like that,you need to at least establish mutual understanding between the both of you"she admonished but I really didn't want this conversation not after what I discovered from my meeting with Grayson earlier this week,everything still feels so fresh in my head and I have not heard from him since then making me more worried,I really want to help but I don't even know how,"He gets to see Alex on school days when he picks him up and that is enough if you ask me,in fact that is a lot after all he didn't want him in the beginning" I reminded her,"I thought we have been over this,he needs his father" she tried again," I said I will give it a thought and I have done that,Jace carries so much drama around that I am not interested in,left for me he shouldn't have even found us" I stated
