Paige's POV"What does that even mean?" Lisa asked this time around like she read my mind,"The twins turn seven this year right?" he asked although it seemed like he already had his answer,"Yes, why?" I answered skeptically ignoring the sudden fear that gripped me,"The person who contracted me six years ago reached out to me last night, he wants him dead at all cost" he said as my insides dropped at the thought,"Are you trying to say my grandchild is going to be murdered?" Mum asked in horror,"Yes ma'am" he answered staring at the ground like it could open up and swallow him,"What do you mean by the person who contracted you six years ago?" I asked his words replaying in my head, nothing seemed to be making sense right now, nothing seemed to be adding up and I didn't like it one bit,"I know I don't deserve any forgiveness of any kind but I am willing to work for it, anything at all I would do to make it up" he answered getting me angrier,"I would advise you to drop this forgiv

Paige's POV"Alex, are you okay?" I asked frantic looking around his body for any sign of blood,"I'm fine Mummy but I am scared" he said in a shaky voice trying to pull me closer to him, I pulled him closer placing a kiss on his forehead. Glancing around everyone looked quite shaken up by the sudden gunshot but no one looked injured,"Who got shot?" Jace finally spoke up springing to action, he picked up his phone probably calling the police or maybe an ambulance but I couldn't take my eyes off the broken window by the side, the person knew exactly where everyone was and it didn't look like a missed shot,"Mr.Thomas??" Lisa suddenly called out in a shaken voice making everyone turn to him,"I'm really sorry, Paige" he muttered as blood pooled from his mouth, that was when I noticed his bloody left hand clutched to his stomach like his life depended on it,"Fuck, call an ambulance Jace" I cursed out, he can't die, he is supposed to help me find my child,"I know you hurt me but you do

Jace's POV"Mum really wants you to visit, you have not come to see her since that day" Jay started as we discussed over a bottle of drink,"I will be there tomorrow before I travel" I informed him taking a sip of my drink,"Travel?" Jay asked confused, apparently he had gone MIA since our last conversation and decided to pop into my house in the middle of the day requesting that we discuss,"Yes, Paige and I need to go to New Zealand" I explained,"Don't tell me you guys are going on honeymoon before you even get engaged" He joked earning a shove from me,"It's nothing of that kind, I don't even see Paige wanting to date me anytime from now not to think about marriage so get your mind out of the gutter" I replied rolling my eyes,"I know you want that" he suddenly said his tone becoming serious,"Want what?" I asked feigning innocence,"Oh please, everyone sees the way you look at her, the longing is very evident" he scoffed," I messed up big time, it's not so easy to just act like

Catherine's POV I stood in front of his house contemplating my next actions ignoring the rain pouring heavily on me, I knew the damage I had caused but I had no other option,"You should come in or you will catch a cold, he is in his room by the way "Cindy his secretary advised from the front door, she seemed to have noticed I had been standing out here for quite some time now, It wasn't much of a surprise meeting her here since he had not been in the office for some days,"Thank you, I will be in shortly" I replied nervously, she nodded before heading back inside, I took a few deep breaths before following suit making sure to take off my wet shoes before going in.I stood in front of his room door prepping myself before I finally knocked, I waited for a few minutes without a reply then I took the bold step of going in,"What are you doing here?" He spoke up harshly his voice echoing in the dark room startling me a little,"And I don't remember asking you to come in," he said again

Paige's POV"Paige, please you have to understand it was a mistake"Jace repeated for the umpteenth time since the incident the day before,"You know I don't really care right, nothing about your life is my business, I just want to find my child and take care of my children together, I have nothing to say to you" I lied in a monotone voice pulling my box out from my room, to be honest, I have not been able to get the incident out of my head, the child is the same age with the twins meaning he actually cheated on me before that day, so he rejected his children because of another woman, everything is clearer now,"Please don't say that Paige, it's your business, it has always been your business" he pleaded trying to help with my box,"I would appreciate it if you would let me," I said pulling the box out of his reach,"Paige please, you have to understand I didn't hurt you intentionally" he kept on begging,"Who said you hurt me?, look you can do all of this for whoever is interested to

Paige's POVMum has been crying non-stop since we got back, I have tried everything but she won't even let me into her room, she dashed off immediately her shock wore off without saying a word, we had to take her home since she didn't know her way around and insisted she would not be going back into the office for any meeting,"How are you feeling ?" Lisa asked after a moment of silence, luckily she called right in time so I just vented out to her,"My feelings right now are not my priority, besides how am I expected to feel, he hurt my mother not me so that question should be directed at her" I answered like I was stating facts,"You know that's not true, he is your father, whom you never met or talked to even for one day, and twenty-one years later you coincidentally meet him while searching for your son, his grandchild, I know you should feel some sort of anger and resentment but is there no curiosity to want to hear his side of the story, to want to get to know him, you know to fi

Jace's POVI sat in my car patiently waiting for a man I have never even met, he texted in the wee hours of the morning asking me to meet him here alone and that he has vital information about Alvin, I know it was dumb of me to actually follow his orders without questions but right now I am as desperate as I can be,"I didn't think you would show up" I heard someone say from the passenger seat's window making me turn,"And you are?" I asked my guard fully up,"Exactly who you are looking for" he replied with a dark chuckle that suddenly made me feel quite uneasy,"That is not an answer" I threw at him trying to remain patient,"It wasn't meant to be" he smirked,"How did you even get my number?" I asked one of the numerous questions I had piled up,"You are really the wrong questions you know" he replied a sinister smile on his face that unnerved me,"Do not fucking play games with me" I lashed out anger slowly filling my bones,"Calm down son, it is just me" another voice spoke up t

Paige's POVFor the past three days, Jace has been acting quite strange and that is when he is around, for most of the day he just disappears and comes back right before dinner, I would have asked but he would think I care and I can't have that,"Can you get me a glass of orange juice please" Mum requested not taking her eyes off the reality show she seemed to have found a sudden interest in,"Okay," I replied walking to the kitchen,"Here you go," I said offering her the drink,She stretched out her hand to take it her gaze still fixated on her show, "Thank you my child" she appreciated."Mum" I called out after a few minutes,"Yes," she answered,"Have you noticed anything up with Jace recently?" I asked just to be sure it's not all in my head,"He seems to have something keeping him occupied" she replied with divided attention,"I feel like something is wrong but I don't want to directly ask him" I confessed,"And why is that?" she asked finally focusing her attention on me,"He wi

Unknown POV"Boss, the police are here" Albert, my newest recruit informed me."Handle them, they shouldn't be much of a problem if you tell them exactly what they want to hear" I instructed my gaze fixed on the TV screen."Right away sir" he replied before walking away.Sighing to myself, I smiled, the long-awaited day was slowly drawing close, and I would finally get all I had ever wanted.Knock.Knock.Knock."I would like to believe he is dead now" I stated."Yes sir, he is" Authur answered immediately although there was something off about him like he refrained from telling me something I should know."He better be or you will take his place and trust me he had a really nicer death compared to what I will do to you" I threatened lighting the cigarette between my lips."I understand, Sir" he quivered, something is definitely up with him and I will find out."Good, go and help Albert out with the police and if they insist on anything at all finish them off" I instructed dismissing hi

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

Brandon's POVPitch Black. Total Darkness. Emptiness.That was all I could make out, I suddenly couldn't feel anything anymore, the pain from the fall wasn't there anymore, and the bruises from the ropes were gone too, it was like it never happened but my mind told me otherwise.I could hear hushed voices but they were too low to make out anything."Brandon" someone called out, it was a voice I could recognize anywhere any day."Caleb" I muttered in shock, blinking continuously in disbelief, it can't be."Brother" he answered nodding his head for extra confirmation."But...but...you are dead, I watched them lower you into the ground" I whispered taking an involuntary step backward as he came closer."And so are you" he replied shocking me, and everything suddenly made sense, the darkness, the numbness, the hushed voices."It can't be, no way, how?" I spiraled out in disbelief."You let your fear get the best of you, you let your fear win, Brandon" Caleb replied with a look of disappoi

Jace's POV"Lisa, breathe, please calm down" Paige cooed quickly shooting up from the bed and signaling me to go start the car while she gets the kids."I can't, Paige, he should wake up and answer me, he can't do this" Lisa cried out her voice breaking at the end, the tension in the room grew as Paige turned to look at me the same fear I was sure was written all over my face on her face too."Jay" I spoke up once he picked on the first ring, it seemed like he found it difficult to sleep too."The police called" I started not knowing how to relay the message I just received."Has he been found?" Jay asked his voice tensed."Yes," I answered in a clipped voice."Okay, that's good news," he said releasing a sigh of relief."Where is he now?" Jay asked immediately followed by some background shuffling like he was getting up from where he lay."The hospital" I muttered knowing fully well I was only building the suspense and anxiety."Wait what, why? What happened?" he questioned, I paused

Paige's POV"Still nothing?" I asked Jace as he walked into the house looking distressed and worked up."Nothing" he sighed plopping down on the couch."And the police?" I asked walking up to where he sat."They wanted to give me bullshit about it not being a kidnap since it has not been up to twenty-four hours since we last saw him" he started making me snap."The hell, the blood trail, the broken phone, and the car that was left by the bridge wasn't enough reason to declare it a kidnap??" I retorted angrily."You ask me but I taught them the exact lesson they needed, they are searching for him as we speak" he replied."That's more like it, Lisa is slowly losing it" I responded in a calmer voice."I sent Jay to check on her," he muttered."Oh, that is so nice of you both" I replied with a small smile."Brandon would have done the same for me, for us" he mumbled sadly."Come on, I made dinner, I know you have not eaten all day," I said softly, trying to lighten up the mood."I am not

Unknown POV"I hope you didn't leave any trail behind?" I asked as I walked up to where he stood."No sir" he quickly replied, his eyes fixed on the ground as if his life depended on it, and for the record it actually did."Good, because I wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet to your head the same way I did to the last five before you" I threatened with a dark smile on my face as I watched him fidget."Where is he?" I asked again."The basement" he quivered."Okay then, shall we?" I gestured."Uhm, Sir..." he started his eyes darting, funny enough I knew exactly what he wanted to say."They will find out soon anyways, so why wait now?" I questioned with raised eyebrows."But..." he stuttered again, stopping his words midway when he noticed my hands now positioned behind my back ready to pull out my favorite toy."I am sorry" he quickly said, leading the way, how good it feels to hold so much power. ~~~~"Shit" My little pr

Jace's POV"What do you mean by you have not seen him all evening?" I snapped at my secretary,We were having an important meeting and Brandon was nowhere to be found, I have been calling him non-stop but no answer,"I really don't know sir, his secretary informed me of his arrival earlier today but they are both not on seat presently" she answered in a shaky voice,"Just go" I snapped pulling out my phone to call Lisa,"Jace?" She answered in a sleepy voice,"Is Brandon home?" I asked going straight to the point c"No, he came to check up on me but he left home over an hour ago, he said you both had an important meeting to attend" she answered sounding shocked at my question,"Over an hour ago?" I repeated confused, he should have gotten here by now,"How is that even possible?" I muttered,"He isn't there yet," she said more like a statement than a question, she sounded wide awake now,"No, he isn't and I can't do the meeting without him" I replie

Paige's POV"Wait till you see the jewelry store, it literally glitters" Jave said excitedly but I was too shocked to give any reply, "The jewelry store?"I asked, confused, it can't be, right?"It's yours too, sweetheart" "I don't understand, Jace" I muttered as tears sprang to my eyes,"There is nothing to understand, sweetheart, you deserve even more but I will like to start somewhere" he replied softly, why was he acting like this was just anything, a fucking dance studio, I had killed this dream years ago,"You are an asshole, you know" I snapped letting the tears fall from my eyes as I am into his warm embrace,"You are welcome, sweetheart" he whispered into my ear, holding me tight while I sobbed on him. My heart felt so heavy yet light, it was like a dream come true."I will take this as a yes" he mumbled,"Yes Jace, I love it, it is perfect, it has everything" I cried,"I am glad to hear that, a part of me was scared I would flop it""No you didn't, but how long has this bee
