Jace's POV

Paige 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Jace's POV"How are you feeling today?" I asked Mum standing at the foot of her bed,"I am happy to see you" she replied plastering a small smile on her face but you could tell it was just an act, she looked drained,"I want you to meet someone," I said turning to look at Paige who stood by the door, she looked nervous and I don't even know why, it was just my mum, this was not even their first time meeting,"Paige" Mum called out softly as her gaze fell on her,"How are you Ma?" Paige asked meekly slowly coming closer, "I have been better, but I feel a lot more alive now you both are here" Mum answered her smile widening, Paige beamed at her going to sit by her bedside,"The kids are downstairs but they would be here any moment from now, I am sure you would be happy to meet them too," Paige said, "I would love to" Mum replied maintaining her bright smile, I watched the interaction between them sadly, the two women in my life that I was supposed to protect and treat with care so far

    Paige's POV"A partyy, really" Lisa squealed a bright smile on her face as we walked into the mall, even with Jace's protests and arguments about it being just a family party I decided to still get a new dress for it, I didn't know why but ever since Jace and I agreed to go I have been extra nervous, what if she doesn't like me, I know his father doesn't like me already but what if I could change his mind, I could change the way he sees me, put the past in the past and all,"Why do you sound even more excited than the kids" I said chuckling at her childish behavior,"Oh please don't blame me, everything has been so serious lately with all this finding Alvin and being safe stuff, don't blame me for getting excited over a party" she replied rolling her eyes,"It's a family party with kids so don't make it sound like it is some wild party" I shrugged,"Whatever, it's still a party anyways," she said with a small pout making me laugh, sometimes I forget how silly she can be,"I am so gett

    Jace's POV"I heard you are back in New York now, typical of you to disappear without letting your dearest father know" his voice came in as I picked up the call, sometimes I wonder why I still do,"What do you want?" I snapped angrily,"Not the best way to talk to your father if you ask me, can't a father check up on his son anymore?" he replied making me scoff,"I will not ask again"I shot at him,"Well, your mother's birthday is this weekend I was wondering if we could do a little something for her," he said shocking me,"You want to arrange a party for Mum?" I asked skeptically, something is wrong,"Yes, why do you sound so surprised, I know I have not been the best and I treated her horribly but I have realized that she barely has a month to go why can't we just grant her one wish, all of us together as one big happy family" he answered,"We can never be a happy family not after everything you have done" I shot at him, who even told him he could play the good father after everyt

    Paige's POV I stared at my sons in awe as they explained all their encounters together to date,"So you guys have known about yourselves for two years now?" I asked surprised,"Yes Mum" Alex replied, he sat beside Alvin on the hospital bed, "Why didn't you say anything?" I asked,"I didn't think you would believe me, we both did, so we agreed we would find a way to show you but we also couldn't come up with a way to do that either, I only found out he was in trouble last night but I didn't know how to reach you" he replied his head bent as he spoke like he wasn't so proud of his actions,I glanced around the room my gaze landing on everyone slowly, Carlos noticed first and he quickly got the memo walking out and everyone followed suit leaving Jace, the boys, and I in the room,"You don't need to feel bad, I understand" I cooed walking over to the bed to join them, I sat at the foot of the bed making sure Alvin was comfortable and no pressure was added to any of his wounds,"But if I

    Alvin's POV(Two years ago)"I would advise you to start cleaning that up, the earlier the better, remember you still have to prepare dinner" Madam Linda yelled at Claire while we all sat and watched, it hurt to watch but we all couldn't do anything other than sit and watch,"So..ry Ma'am" Claire stuttered grabbing a towel to clean up the mess Ryan made, he sat there with tears in his eyes watching but I couldn't blame him either, he had been sick for three days now and no one wanted to attend to him, hence why Claire had to go out of her way to get me my first inhaler when I had my first asthma attack, it almost cost her life but in the end it pushed Madam to get me a good supply of it that would last a while at least. I am guessing his time here is almost up because from all Claire has told me, they only take care of the ones that would be here much longer, maybe that's why the inhaler was gotten for me,"Can I help you?" I offered once Madam Linda was out of sight,"Alvin, I ca

Mum asked Jace,"Yes, they left for the airport over an hour ago" Jace replied and Mum modded in response,"I just hope nothing happens" I murmured,"Nothing happens? what do you mean?" Carlos asked cocking his head to the side,"Remember we still don't know who we are dealing with and what their motives are, with the stunt we just pulled we are not guaranteed any form of safety" I explained,"You are right, I would send some people to the airport to ensure they get here unharmed" Carlos assured,"Thank you" I appreciated with a warm smile,"Anything for you little sis" he replied with a wink running off before I could retaliate, smart mo
