Paige:A Second Chance Romance Sixty nine-Jace
Jace's POV"Do you think he would agree to say anything now?" Brandon asked, we were currently driving to the hospital, Jay is to be discharged today, he would have been discharged yesterday but he still wouldn't stay put,"I can't tell, we can only hope" I replied releasing a deep sigh, the conversation Paige and I had last night has been replaying over and over again in my head, I can't seem to focus on anything else, I have not seen her today and when I asked Carlos he gave me a short and curt reply of how she said something about visiting Grayson and Sofya, although I have a feeling she simply wants to avoid me at all cost and I wouldn't even blame her,"Any leads on Catherine?" He asked again,"Not yet but her father's reaction to her sudden disappearance marvels me, I stopped by his office yesterday and he didn't even seem moved by his daughter's kidnap, he looked rather pleased" I informed him, my mind going back to my encounter with Catherine's father last night,"Do you by an

Catherine's POVIt was bitch black everywhere, they didn't need the blindfold, probably why they took it off. The pain radiating through my body was strong enough to kill me but they didn't physically hurt me at least not yet, made me wonder why everywhere hurt so much, at this point I don't think I could stay here anymore or I might die. I fought to control the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes, I could hear hushed voices from outside but I couldn't make out what they were saying, the ropes around my wrists and ankles seemed they were meant to cut off my blood supply and not keep me put, what's with this people?The voices stopped and footsteps followed suit, they were coming, I can't take any more of whatever this is. The door suddenly swung open and I was greeted by the bright light from outside making me shut my eyes quickly, I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the bright light, there were three of them and they all had masks on,"You know today is your lucky day

Jace's POVIt's been two days since Jay found Catherine, after that night Brandon and I met with them no one has seen or heard from them, we only got a text from Jay assuring us that they are safe, they are still yet to clear the air on all of this."Sir, your 11:00 is here" my secretary informed me,"Okay then, I will be them shortly" I dismissed."Mr. Russo, we were made to believe you are the sole heir to your father's company, so when we have problems with how our business with them is moving we are to question you" one of them spoke up, he was the CEO of Nash Textile and Designs, it was rumored a few years ago that his first son Dexter died of chronic lung disease, leaving him with only one son, Matteo, who from my findings was the black sheep of the family, he was a gentleman to the most of my knowledge but at this point, he was getting on my nerves real quick,"Mr.Nash, right?" I asked for confirmation, he replied with a curt nod and I took that as a sign to continue,"I unders

Paige's POVThere has been a looming darkness in the house since we all heard about Jace's Mum's death two days ago, I have only seen him once and that was the night he informed me, he has not been home since then,"I am sure he is fine wherever he is, you need to calm down" Mum cooed but it wasn't working, I am restless and it is all his fault,"He never does this, even Brandon has no idea where he is, Mum what if something bad has happened to him, you know someone is after us, he can't just disappear that way" I replied, the panic in my voice evident,"Calm down my child, he will be home, he is grieving" Mum soothed,"We can't be so sure, what if..." I wanted to say but the loud bang from the front door stopped me and I quickly ran to the door,"Jace?" I called out,"Ohh, you a...re sti...ll here, great. I had th...is cra...zyy dre..am that you le...ft me just li...ke Mum did"he slurred holding on to the wall like his life depended on it,"Have you been drinking? Are you drunk?" I a

Jace's POVSuicide? That doesn't even make any sense,"That can't be true, Mum was many things but not suicidal" I argued staring at the hospital report,"Something is not adding up," Paige said and everyone nodded in agreement,"It says here, she abused her drugs"I spoke up again letting the shock sink in,"But Mum wasn't in charge of her drugs, she didn't even know where they were kept, I made sure of that" Jay muttered, nothing seemed to be making sense here,"Who hired the Nurse?" Paige suddenly asked,"Peter, he was actually the first person to find out about her sickness" I answered realization dawning on me, I knew something was up with him since that weekend at Mum's place,"Well, if that is the case, Jay, Brandon, come on, I want to have a word with our dearest old man" I hollered grabbing my car keys,"Be careful guys" Lisa yelled as we headed to the door, halting my steps, I turned to glance at Paige with a small smile on my face, although she wouldn't say it, she was obvio

Paige's POV"How are the wedding arrangements going?" 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

Paige's POV"Paige, what's wrong?" 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

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

Paige's POV"Paige" Jace whispered once I got to the last stair where he stood waiting for me,"Jace" I replied smiling, I couldn't get the smile off my face at this point, I was already having such a good night and we weren't out of the house yet,"You look..." he stuttered giving me another once over but his eyes lingered on my exposed cleavage,"Ravishing" he completed pulling me into his arms without warning making me release a loud welp,"And your scent, fuck Paige" he cursed sinking his face into my neck and taking deep breaths,"You are so going to be the death of me" he mumbled his grip on my waist tightening,"I wanted you to dress up but not to the extent where I can't think of anything but fucking you till you can't walk" he groaned placing a soft kiss on my collarbone making me shudder,"Come on, don't exaggerate it now" I chuckled trying to pull away,"Exaggerate really" he snapped pulling his face away from my neck so he could stare at my face but his grip didn't waver,

Paige's POV'Be ready by 7, I will come to pick you up' Jace's text read, this was the fifteenth time he was texting me since he left with the boys in the morning,"Your husband must really love you" the lady who was dressing my hair spoke up a kind smile on her face, from how she sounded she seemed to be in her late thirties but she looked nothing over twenty-three,"Oh no, he is not my husband" I blushed,"I'm so sorry, I just thought he was your husband with the number of times your phone has pinged since you got here, plus the permanent smile on your face gave you away,"I'm not smiling" I quickly denied,"Ahh, young love" she chuckled shaking her head,"You are smiling brightly, there is no point denying it" she continued,"I am not denying anything" I tried to defend but I knew she was telling the truth after all there was a large mirror in front of me,"I am guessing all of these are for a date," she said making me stare at her through the mirror trying to hide my shock,"I wa

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

Paige's POV"Fucking Jace Russo" I cursed trying to control the anger in my veins,"Calm down little fella, talk to me what did he do now, do I need to castrate him earlier than I expected?" 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

Jace’s POV“Welcome to Miami” I yelled excitedly,“It’s beautiful” Paige muttered a bright smile and a glow in her eyes as she took in her environment,“Very beautiful” I mumbled in reply my gaze fixed on Paige,“I mean the city, Jace,” Paige said rolling her eyes, but I didn't miss the hidden smile on her face,“I know” I answered cheekily turning to face the kids who stared in awe,“Come on, we need to get going, I have to show you guys a little something” I hollered leading them over to the car I hired for the trip,“Don't worry, our luggage will be taken to the cabin” I assured Paige noticing the way her gaze occasionally moved to our luggage,“You sure?” she asked a skeptical look on her face,“Hundred percent, you seem not to understand what I mean by I have everything planned out” I replied,“Okay then,” she said walking over to where the kids stood beside the car,“We still have somewhere to before heading to the cabin,” I said in a sing-song voice helping the kids get in

Paige's POV"A weekend getaway sounds really nice if you ask me, especially for the kids" Lisa spoke up, luckily since we were ok house arrest Brandon and Jace hired masseuses for the day and it's been wonderful,"Yeah but I don't trust Jace around me, we might do something we are not ready for" I muttered,"Or you don't trust yourself around him" she joked wiggling her eyebrows,"Whatever, it's still the same thing" I shot back,"Look Paige, I know you and you wouldn't do anything you don't want to do, I know you are fighting it now but deep down we both know you want this. He hurt you, yes but maybe this is the time for change" she said softly,"What if this isn't that time, what if things don't work out, I don't think I can handle it, Lisa" I admitted, trying to bury the fear that had been trying to resurface since the talk I had with Jace,"It's okay to feel the way you are feeling but it shouldn't stop you from trying, you deserve the best, Paige, and even though Jace may not be

Paige's POV"What do you think will be wrong with Catherine?" I asked Lisa, we were currently preparing dinner,"I don't know but her Dad is now a suspect on my list" she replied,"I agree, she always seemed like a spoilt daddy's girl, this is just shocking" I voiced out my thought,"I knew something was wrong somewhere when you told me she came to apologize," she said"This just makes everything so much more complicated" I muttered with a small sigh,"Hopefully everything will unfold soon," Lisa said in quiet empathy,"Have you checked it?"I asked changing the topic,"No not yet, I'm scared" she admitted,"Trust me when I say I can relate, do you want me to check it with you?" I asked softly,She smiled before replying, "I would love that""Okay let's quickly finish up and we will go check it out," I said cheerily. ~~~~"You would have to pee on it and wait for at least fifteen minutes, since they are two different strips we would wait

Paige's POV"Hmm, did anything happen recently?"Brandon asked breaking the sudden silence that fell between us, Grace and Mum had joined us leaving the kids with Claire,"None that I know of, she never complained of anything" Jay answered lost in thoughts, I was about to speak up when he shot up,"Wait..." he snapped a look of realization on his face,"I overheard her conversation with Mrs. Smith over the weekend, something about her dad threatening her" he blurted,"Threatening her? Why will her dad threaten her?""Brandon asked,"It can't be, that Man adores his daughter, he always has," Jace said,"That's what he wanted you all to think, that man is nothing but a monster" Jay sneered anger filling his voice as he spoke about a man I didn't know about until now,"Why am I not surprised?" Grace muttered rolling her eyes,"What do you mean?"Jace asked looking utterly confused,"Her father wasn't always like that" Jay started, he didn't look like someone who wanted to say what he had to

Paige's POV"We have to be quiet, it is the only way we can get you girls out of here without drawing his attention, there was another man with him when we walked in and we don't know if they are together now so we can't risk it," One of the guys said, I think I heard Jace call him Arthur once,"How are we going to pass through without being noticed? He was standing really close to the door when we entered here like he wanted to be sure we didn't leave" Lisa voiced out the same question I wanted to ask,"There is a back door in a room behind the counter, I would cause a distraction while Arthur here will lead you both out and drive you home" the other guy answered this time, he seemed to be the stricter one,"That seems like a better option" Lisa muttered and I nodded in agreement,"Remember to be extra quiet" he reminded and we nodded simultaneously before he turned to leave,"We would give him five minutes to cause a distraction and then we would make a run for it, follow my lead, a
