Paige's POV"Jace?" I heard someone gasp from the door and I quickly disentangled myself from Jace already cursing myself for letting things escalate so quickly,"What are you doing here?" Jace asked breathlessly, I slowly lifted my head, my eyes landing on Jace before landing on her petite figure by the door, Catherine, if anything didn't give us away the hard-on Jace was currently sporting definitely did the work,"I was looking for you" she murmured, a certain emotion in her voice I couldn't identify, "For what exactly, you shouldn't be here to start with, last I checked this is a family event and you are not family" Jace shot at her but I didn't miss the way he was using his body to protect me from her wandering eyes,"Your Dad invited me, he said Luke is family" she replied casting her eyes down to feign innocence but I didn't trust her,"You still have not given me a valid reason why you are here" Jace replied curtly,"I just wanted to inform you that your son is here, he is wi

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

Paige's POV. Three days later."We should go and see Brandon's dad on our way back" I suggested to Lisa as we prepared to leave. It took alot of convincing to get Lisa to agree to go out with me, She was hell bent on staying right beside Brandon till he wakes up. I had to promise her that we wouldn't be out for long in case he wakes up, and also had to make her understand that Brandon will not be happy if he hears that she put her life on hold to wait for him to wake up and that seemed to have done the work."You know he never approved of me since high school" Lisa replied with fear coating her voice."That doesn't mean you shouldn't visit him at the hospital, at least for Brandon's sake, he wouldn't be happy when he wakes up and finds out that his father was hospitalised and you didn't go to see him" I advised."Yeah, I guess so" Lisa replied with a light sigh."With enthusiasm, we should get moving if we aim to be home early," I cheerfully suggested, reaching

Jace's POVAs I stood under the shower, I replayed the events of the day over and over again in my head, watching the blood on my skin go down the drainage.The lifeless look on Mr. Hanson's face when the ambulance took him away will most likely haunt me for a while.We should never have gone there, whoevershot him was probably after us. How will Brandon feel if he wakes to his father battling for his life in the hospital and then there is the stunt Paige pulled this afternoon, she never listens, we shouldn't be trusting anyone right now but no, she had to go ahead to let a stranger into the house."Jace" She called out from inside the room, I knew I should have locked the door ."Jace, please I know you are in there, please come out let's talk",She pleaded knocking on the bathroom door."Jace" She called out again after few minutes."Please go away,Paige, we have nothing to talk about, you should go and attend to your visitor" I finally replied."He ha

Paige's POV"What are you doing here?" I asked Leon, trying to mask my shock."I came to see you, you have been ignoring all my calls and texts since the burial, I wanted to be sure everything is okay" He replied a bright smile on his face."I have not been ignoring your calls and texts and even if I was isn't that more reason why you wouldn't want to find me?" I questioned refraining from banging the door in his face so I could prepare myself more for this."I don't think that way, I have known you for over five years now, and even though we are not as close as I would loved us to be, but you never just go blank on me like this, on days when you can't text or call, you call when you can, to apologize, so my first thought was definitely something had gone wrong, you can't really blame me" he shrugged so casually me but I just kept screaming in my head.

Jace's POVHer words kept replaying in my head over and over again as we drove, I guess even my in wildest dreams I never thought she would say something like that to me. It made perfect sense anyway. It was really a hypocritical thing to say after all, l am here judging a man for doing the same thing I did, he didn't deny his son at least. I deserve all she said."Are you okay?" Jay asked snapping me outof my thoughts making me realize we had already stopped."Yes, I am" I lied taking off my seatbelt. "No, you are not. We got here over five minutes ago and I have been talking to you since we left the office and your half-ass replies and zoning out are enough to know you are definitely not оkау" Jay replied seeing straight past my pathetic lie."Can we do what we came here for already"I said evading his question."This is not over trust me" Jay replied before unlocking the car doors, | nodded before alighting from the car."I will do the talking,

Paige's POV It's been a week, one full week, and still nothing from Brandon, not even a small move of his finger to at least assure us that he is recovering. All the doctors we have brought keep saying the same thing, that he will wake up soon but that's the problem, no one is being specific and everyone is growing impatient. Lisa most especially, she is losing it and I can't seem to be able to do anything about it. We have all decided he would be brought back home and treated from here so we could all keep our eyes on him and so that Lisa will at least leave the hospital since that is the only way she has agreed to leave."You are not going to the office today?" I asked Jace as l served breakfast. The silence at the dining table was starting to make me uncomfortable so anything to get the table talking."There is no time for that. I have to go to the hospital to help with Brandon's move and also Jay and I need to have a word with Brandon's Da

Paige's POV One day LaterI finally understood what a true miracle felt like. According to the doctors Brandon was dead for a complete thirty minutes, they had claimed they had already exhausted all the resuscitation methods they could think of and had declared him dead but after running another checkup on him they found out he had a faint heartbeat that was why they couldn't detect it, apparently, if he hadn't moved when he did, they wouldn't have known, he would have died "How is he now?" I asked Jace once he walked out of the doctor's office, I needed positive information for Lisa as she had decided she wasn't to going leave Brandon's side till he was out of the hospital but he didn't seem to look like he was waking up anytime soon. The doctors were able to stabilize him but he hasn't said anything since then, no reaction either, he just lay so still, if not for the now beeping heart machine in the ward I wouldn't have believed he was actually

Brandon's POV"Jay knew too?" I asked in disbelief."He had to come looking for me on the wrong day" he replied."Please help me tell him, it isn't his fault either, he promised" he continued."Fuck all of this" I cursed my anger growing."I know you don't understand a thing but promise you will understand soon but now right now, you have to go or else you wouldn't be able to leave again" he warned but I was feeling too much all of a sudden."I fucking can't, don't you get it. I have no control over myself at the moment, I can't feel a damn thing" I shot angrily."All you have to do is push yourself immediately you feel anything at all, you will know exactly what to do right after that" he replied his voice growing faint."You have to explain things to me Caleb, I am losing it" I said."I really want to but there is no time, you need to leave now brother" he answered."Caleb" I called but my voice seemed to have grown mute as the white light from earlier flashed and then loud sirens n
