Paige:A Second Chance Romance Thirteen-Paige
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: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:A Second Chance Romance Fifteen-Paige
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
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Sixteen-Jace
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:A Second Chance Romance Seventeen-Paige
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:A Second Chance Romance Eighteen-Paige
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"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
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Fourty-Paige
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
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Thirty nine -Paige
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 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:A Second Chance Romance Thirty seven-Jace
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 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
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"My father's sister?" I repeated confused,"Did he know ?" Grace asked,"Yes, he did" Mum answered, a kind of sadness in her eyes,"Oh my, I am sorry, how did I even miss this" Grace exclaimed suddenly pulling me into a tight hug,"Did he know what?" I asked, staring at the both of them confused,"Come and sit my child" Mum asked patting right beside where she was seated on the couch,"Did you ever try coming back?" Grace asked also taking a seat next to her,"I didn't find a reason to, he made himself very clear" Mum answered sadly,"Someone should please talk to me" I pushed on,"You know I never told you the whole story, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you without that pain in my heart even after so many years" Mum said taking in a deep breath,"I understand" I replied softly,"I met your father on one of his numerous business trips, I worked in my mother's bakery then" she started staring straight ahead,"I was sent to get the orders from the new customers and you

Jace's POV"Those girls are definitely going to turn your house into one of the girly dens" Brandon joked walking into my office,"Anything to keep Paige in my home" I quickly answered,"You are so whipped" he said, making me chuckle,"Says the head over heels one, sure" I threw at him,"At least she actually knows that I am in love with her" he attacked,"That wasn't necessary" I said, trying my best not to pick offense over that,"But it's the plain truth, Paige actually thinks you are around her because of Alex" he stated,"Who told you so, we both know that's not true, I have always wanted her" I defended,"Your actions six years ago really didn't show that remember" he reminded,"I know that, and I am trying to fix that" I stated,"How exactly?.by sleeping around with Catherine that already has another child for you that Paige doesn't even know about?" He bit back, stating facts and I don't like it one bit,"Can you just stop already, that night was a mistake, okay" I argued tryi
