Paige:A Second Chance Romance Fourteen-Paige
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?"

Jace's POV"Paige,you are okay,breathe baby,breathe" I soothed as she hyperventilated in my arms,she was having a panic attack and here I am also panicking with her,"Fuck" I cursed when it seemed like nothing was working,"Please breathe"I whispered trying to contain my fear,she seemed to be in another word of her own,"What the fuck is going on here?"I heard Brandon's voice from the the door but I didn't bother looking up still trying to get here to breathe,she was slipping in and out of consciousness muttering incoherent words to herself,"She's having a panic attack"another voice said,I know that voice and it definitely doesn't belong to Brandon, it doesn't even belong to a man,"Lisa??" I called out shocked,"Flesh and blood,now move she needs air"She ordered and I didn't even know I did just that and let her take over,Lisa handled the whole situation so well I felt so stupid couldn't even do any of the things she did,when did Paige start having panic attacks???...

Paige's POV"Lisa??" I asked shocked,I couldn't believe my eyes,I was staring at my best friend since childhood after six whole years,"Paige"she cried out engulfing me in a tight hug,"I am so sorry I didn't know,I would have known something was wrong,I didn't pay so much attention like I was supposed to"she cried on my shoulders,am I not the one supposed to apologize?"What are you apologizing for?" I asked confused,"Jace told me everything,why didn't you come to me,you shouldn't have left that way" she cried on,"I should be the one apologizing,I didn't really think how my disappearance will affect anybody, I was just so scared" I muttered as tears fell from my eyes, I missed her so much,"I don't blame you for anything"she answered still not letting go,"I would have taken a better decision,I just panicked" I said sadly,"I am really glad you are okay,where is my godchild please"she said looking around like she was actually expecting to see him,"In school" I answered sniffing,"

Jace's POV"Have you finally come to your senses?" My dearest father said as I walked into his office he suddenly moved to the house,Brandon trailing closely behind"That you are nothing but a selfish bastard,yes"I lashed out immediately probably shocking him,"I am your father and you must accord me that respect" he commanded hitting his hand on the mahogany desk right in front of him like that was going to shake me,"Or what,you will manipulate me and ruin my life the more?" I asked seething,"What do you mean by that,I have done nothing but want the best for you my son and for the growth of my sons"he acted,"Tell that to who cares,I know what you did six years ago and for your information she's back in my life and I won't let you hurt her again,sometimes I wonder how I let you manipulated me so much that I hurt the woman I love" I lashed out ignoring the look on his face as I mentioned her,he knew what exactly I was talking about,Brandon heard right after all,"I didn't manipulate

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
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Seventy five-Paige
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

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:A Second Chance Romance Seventy three-Jace
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
