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
Paige's POV"How did you sleep my boy ?" I asked Alex as I he walked into my room with sleepy eyes,it was quite early so I wasn't even expecting him to awake since it's a Sunday,"Quite well" he replied joining me in the bed,he simply lay on me placed and kiss on my cheek and stayed there,as much as that was not a new occurrence it always hit in a different way all the time,sometimes I forget he is still a child with the way he behaves,I beamed at him but he seemed focused on going back to bed on my body and I had no issue with that so I simply rocked him slowly till he fell asleep back.The phone call from yesterday was still reeling in my head,anger was the first emotion I felt last night but right now I just feel nothing and I didn't like it,I was supposed to be totally angry,he didn't have any right,I was supposed to retain my anger to give him a piece of my mind if I see him,he has no right ti be stalking me what I do with my life is definitely none of his business,but to be hone
Jace's POV"Where's your mum?"I asked Alex immediately I noticed my 1 hour was up,in as much as I knew I wanted to stay longer I had to respect her decision,it's the least I can do right now,maybe one day she will agree to stay in a room with me for a long period of time cause she has been avoiding it since the day I saw her,"Somewhere in her room"He replied totally distracted by the show going on that he didn't even bother to look at me when he was talking or to see if he could help me call her, I tried fighting it but the other side of me won and I saw myself heading that direction,she is probably going to kill me for this,I could have asked Alex to inform her that I was leaving but I really wanted to just see her face again because I am very sure she won't have come out to see me, I could hear the slow soft music from her room and her voice singing along,my heart constricted and a feeling of nostalgia hit me hard ,she will never change,I moved a little closer but not to close fo
Paige's POVIt's been two days since that ugly incident as I like to call it,and I was driving down to the hospital to see Sofya then to get Alex and back home it was the same way i handled it yesterday,I could already feel his absence and I hated it,I am wondering how he has actually respected my decision up till now because it's lack of disrespect that caused this in the beginning anyways,maybe he is cooking up something or he just realized what he realized 6 years ago and decided he was done with me,I felt that familiar ache in my chest as that thought crossed my mind and I got even angrier,how could my body still betray me in such a manner, I wasn't supposed to feel anything where Jace is concerned not this emptiness and definitely not the sexual tension,I wasn't supposed to get so turned on but I couldn't help it,I felt his eyes boring holes into my body before I even saw him,I knew he was there but I didn't even think he would have the audacity to actually make himself known,I g
Paige's POVThe children were at school and I was frantically pacing my room trying to give myself moral support from anywhere for what I was about to do,I don't even know why this was what came to mind,but I really want to help Sofya ,at this point I needed someone to tell me I was doing the right things but Grace travelled with her husband for a family vacation and I don't want to disturb her with calls about my problems but I am really panicking here.I stood in front of the mirror for the umpteenth time this morning trying to come up with the right outfit,I needed to look professional, I don't want people looking at me like I am under them that would reduce my confidence, I finally settled for a black pencil skirt and a flowered blouse and flat shoes,I couldn't bring myself to eat anything so I forfeited breakfast. ~~~~~~~~~~~"I am here to see Jace Russo" I told the receptionist after much mental encouragement outside,"Do you have an appointment?"
