Paige:A Second Chance Romance Sixty four-Catherine
Catherine's POV"You did what?" Mrs.Smith asked shock written all over her face,"I had to, Dad kept threatening to harm Luke" I defended,"And that was why you took him there, without his father's knowledge or permission?" she exclaimed,"Jay was here?" I questioned shocked,"Yes, now imagine how he felt when he found out that his woman and his child were at his parent's house trying to get his older brother to take responsibility for his child that he is fully capable of taking care of" she spat angrily at me, this was new, in all the years Mrs.Smith has been my caretaker she has never raised her voice at me not until now,"I was only trying to protect Luke" I tried to explain but she wasn't having it,"The same protection Jay has been protecting him all these years, last I checked if not for him Luke wouldn't even have been alive today or have you forgotten so soon?, how your father left you to die in the hospital, even after everything you have done to Jay he still keeps coming b

Jay's POV"You keep making it difficult for me, Catherine, I try to convince myself every single day that things would get better, that someday we could come to light about us, about our child but it doesn't feel like you want the same thing," I said in a calm but deadly voice, I could see the pain in her eyes but she needs to understand things have to change, I can't live like this anymore,"Don't talk like that please, that's my greatest dream right now but we have to be smart about this, one wrong move and everything we have worked so hard to build would be destroyed, you know it is only Mrs.Smith, the doctor who performed the surgery and the both of us that knows the true paternity of Luke and it has to remain that way till we can find a way around my father" she cried out, I wanted to believe her, I wanted to pull her into my arms and assure that everything was going to be okay but we both knew things were getting worse by the day, her father was getting more and more impatie

Paige's POVThere was nothing making sense at the moment, Jay had to be sedated because he was hell-bent on going to find Catherine in his condition, everyone was still confused about what relationship they had because it was obvious there was something serious going on between the both of them, I had Lisa and Brandon pick the children up from the Russo's, Luke included, I would be a lot more comfortable knowing there are with them than their grandparents as sad as it may sound,"Mrs.Smith right?" I asked the old woman who Grace identified as the housekeeper when she left years ago,"Yes, may I be of any help to you?" she answered, she looked really scared for Catherine, it was obvious how much she cared about her,"We were wondering if you could help us clear the air a little, before today, I was very sure Jay and Catherine didn't even know themselves besides her usual tantrums that she likes to throw at my office or my house, but as it stands now it seems there is more to this than

Paige's POV"I agree with you something is definitely wrong somewhere," Carlos said, I had to brief him on everything that had been going on for the past few days,"As it stands now, our only hope is Jay but that is if he will be calm enough to explain things to us" I sighed, we were presently heading to the kid's school to pick them up, and it took a while for Alvin to agree without throwing a tantrum and luckily Alex knows how to call his brother down, to be honest, they are bonding better than I thought they would,"What about the caretaker, she should have valuable information?" Carlos asked,"She doesn't have information on how to save Catherine but she seems to know whatever relationship Jay and Catherine have, she is insisting that we ask the right people, she said it is not her story to tell" I replied as my mind drifted to the conversation Jace and I had with Mrs.Smith at the hospital,"And Jace?" Carlos asked dropping his voice a little, he knew how sensitive any topic conce

Jace's POV"You know it isn't so fun being called by a strange number at the office that you were hugging a guy at the parking lot of a diner so close by" I spoke up my eyes fixed on the picture I was sent,"I didn't know I was not allowed to hang out with my friends" she replied walking towards her bed,"You are not allowed to hug random guys in random parking lots" I snapped angrily,"But I can hug them somewhere else right" she chuckled tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear,"Paige, do not test my patience, I will not hesitate to put a bullet through his head if he doesn't know his place" I snarled,"As my father or my brother?" she shot back,"Don't say I didn't warn you" I replied turning to leave,"Why do you keep doing this, what do you aim to achieve from all of this, you don't want me but you won't let someone else have me" she suddenly said her voice cold yet sad,"I have always wanted you, Paige, why would you even say that" I quickly replied halting my steps,"Don't li

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:A Second Chance Romance Eighty four-Jace
Jace's POVI watched from the balcony of my house, everyone was dressed in black, with scowls on their faces, walking round the back of the house where we all decided we would host the guests. We just returned from the cemetery where they were buried side by side just like Mum always wanted, but we still had to entertain the guests, perks of having rich parents. I couldn't recognize many of them as they were either business associates or family members, it was exactly four days after Dad's death and a day after I was released from the hospital with strict warnings though. The loud thunder that rumbled in the skies was perfect weather for the day, I was burying my both parents together on the same day, and although they both hurt me in their own way I couldn't shake off the pain in my heart,"Hey," Paige called out softly snapping me out of my little reverie,"Are you ready for the day?" I asked slowly turning to face her,"I should be asking you that, they were your parents" she repli

Paige's POVI couldn't get the smile off my face from Jace's little stunt last night, although I was angry at first that he had fooled me and to add the fact that everyone including Lisa was part of it all just made it so much funnier, I guess I didn't know them so well,After much pleading and convincing, I had agreed to stay and do all he had planned with him. I don't know how he pulled it off but we had a small fancy dinner right in the room, then listened and sang along to our favorites songs for over an hour and I didn't feel it, luckily we still have the same taste in music as we did years ago, I danced a little too and he didn't fail to remind me how I had always loved dancing back in high school and never missed any of my dance classes even when I was sick, it was a bittersweet memory as it reminded me of everything I had to leave behind after what he did, but I didn't want to spoil the night so I didn't say anything. We ended the night cuddled up on the surprisingly big hos
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Eighty two-Jace
Jace's POV"I am only doing this because I know you mean well but if anything goes wrong even the doctors cannot save you" Lisa threatened as she pulled out her phone from her phone to call Paige, Brandon, and Lisa had helped me set up balloons and other decorations to make it more special, I stared at the bouquet I had specifically requested from the same florist I bought the first flowers I ever bought Paige on the day I asked her out on our first date, it feels like forever since then. 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:A Second Chance Romance Eighty one -Paige
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? Cause I remember her telling me you had called and she said I would be coming hom
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Eighty-Jace
Jace's POVHer grip on my hand loosened as she stared at me hard with both shock and pain in her eyes,"What do you mean by who am I ?" she asked dropping my hands,"You don't remember me?" she asked again shaking her head frantically like she couldn't believe her ears,"Am I supposed to?" 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,
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Seventy nine-Paige
Paige's POVMy whole body felt cold as his words slowly sank, he doesn't remember me...he doesn't remember me??"What do you mean by who am I?" 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:A Second Chance Romance Seventy eight-Paige
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:A Second Chance Romance Seventy Seven-Paige
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
