Paige:A Second Chance Romance Thirty five-Paige
Paige's POVThe tension in the house over the past few days has been so thick I was starting to get really uncomfortable with it. Jace hasn't let me out of his sight since the incidence, and I am starting to get irritated with all of it, he hasn't even gone to work since then, he just claims he can handle everything from the house and anything that needs urgent attention Jay will handle it, I can see the stress he is going to through, but he has decided not to rest."Grace is here" Jace informed me from the door of my bedroom,"Okay thank you, I will be down shortly" I replied ignoring the tired look on his face, since he has decided to stress himself I will not bother myself,"No problem" he said, shutting the door quietly before leaving.~~~~~~~~~"How have you been?" Grace asked, I walked over to where she sat with Alex hot on my tail,"I have been better" I replied with a sigh taking a seat beside her as Alex sat on her laps,"Don't worry, everything will be okay" she soothed pull

Paige's POV"The doctor said she would be discharged by the weekend"Grayson informed me as we walked down to the car park,"That is good news, I would come to the house by next week to see how she is faring" I replied, a bright smile on my face from the good news,"I would really appreciate that, you can come with my little boy you never told me about" Grayson joked, making me look at him surprised,"Sometimes I wonder how you were able to keep him away for so long, if the kids don't talk a lot, I may probably still be in the dark until date" he continued, making me laugh a little, ignoring the look on Jace's face as we conversed,"So you knew before that day?" I asked, not really shocked,"Yup but I would rather not steal your thunder" he joked making me chuckle,"I would bring him along, he should be much better by then" I concluded,"Beautiful, now come here" he requested, pulling me in for a hug, placing a kiss on my forehead then two others on my both cheeks,"I'll call" I promis

Jace's POVPaige has not been herself since the day I woke her up from the bad dream she had, she won't tell anyone what the dream was about, but she wouldn't stop crying,"Dinner is ready, are you coming down or should I send your food up for you?" I asked from her door watching her emotionless face as she stared blankly at the wall the same position she had been since morning, the same routine since that dream, cry,sleep and stare, everyone is getting worried,"I am not hungry" she replied not taking her eyes off the wall like she is waiting for someone to come out from it,"You have to eat something" I pushed on,"I will later" she replied faintly, I could see the tears in her eyes just waiting to be let out, why can't she just talk to someone,"Paige, please stop doing this yourself, talk to me or talk to Lisa or better still talk to your mum, please just talk to someone at least, you are going to fall sick at this rate" I said softly slowly walking into the room, she turned to st

Paige's POVI cannot continue like this, I have to get to the bottom of this, everything in me knows this is more than a dream,"Mummy" Alex called out walking into my room,"Are you okay?" I questioned turning to face him,"I am fine" he answered laying beside me and burying his face in my neck,"Are you sure?" I asked again, he had this look that I couldn't exactly ignore,"Something is off" he finally blurted after a moment of silence,"What do you mean?" I asked pulling him closer," I keep having this weird dream, maybe it's just me" he replied sounding tired,"Talk to mummy" I pressed on,"I keep seeing another me" he answered shocking me,"Another you" I muttered more to myself than to him, I knew it was more than a dream, something was not adding up.~~~~~~~~~"Paige, Paige, Paige" Jace called out with so much urgency in his voice I actually got scared,"In here" I replied from Alex's room where I was able to put him to sleep,"Someone is here to see you," he said as he walked

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

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'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

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'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'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
