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's POVThe commotion downstairs was enough to remind me that things have really changed in the past week, but my excitement of the day is the fact that Grace is finally back in town, and she will be here anytime soon,"Good morning Mum" Alex greeted as I got to the end of the stairs where he ran to me,"How are you, my boy?" I asked, ruffling his hair,"Very fine, Olivia still doesn't want to play with me" he whined,"She will come around, she is not the talking type, try harder, okay" I encouraged,"If you say so mum" he shrugged"Where is Aunt Lisa?" He asked, making me smile, he likes her,"She will be back in the evening" I answered, he nodded before heading back to where the others were playing,~~~~~~~~~~~"Breakfast kids" I hollered from the dining table,"Race you there" I heard Bryan yell before the sound of their tiny footsteps echoed in the hallway,"Don't hurt yourselves" I yelled, chuckling."Mum, Olivia won't let me have the last pancakes" Alex whined,"Don't be thi

Jace’s POVMiserable is a nice way to put how I have been for the past 3 days, Paige is still being so cold and Jay won't stop pushing me to go visit mum. I have not seen her for 3 years now, so why has become such an issue,"Why have you been moodier than usual these past few days?" Brandon asked as we walked into my office,"It's nothing" I mumbled, increasing my pace to avoid his questions,"Tell that to someone just met you and who doesn't know you" he replied with a chuckle,"It's nothing serious just drop it" I insisted, I really don't want to talk,"So you won't talk to me, but you would talk to Paige" he teased, making me roll my eyes,"Don't let me remind me of instances where you would rather talk to Lisa than talk to me" I teased back with a small smile, and he smiled back with no argument, he knew what he just did and it worked,"I just can't shake this feeling off" I finally succumbed,"Which feeling if I may ask" he asked,"The feeling that something is wrong, Jay has al

Paige's POVIt's a weekend, and I'm going to the hospital with the children today, Sofya's surgery has been fixed, and she will be traveling tomorrow, so a little surprise party is being thrown for her before she leaves,"Are you kids not ready yet?" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs,"We are coming" Derek answered, followed by their little voices whispering to themselves,"Hurry" I replied before heading to the kitchen to get the food and snacks I packed up, Lisa should be here anytime from now she insisted on going with us,"We are done Mum" Alex called out from the door,"Okay then we should head out, your aunt Lisa will probably meet us there, we are already behind schedule," I said, ushering them towards the door, I would appreciate it if she would get there early, it's Grayson's first time meeting Alex and I don't know how he will react, I would appreciate the moral support,"Don't tell me you were planning to leave without me" her voice came in as I opened the door,"It wa

Jace's POVI kept staring at the one place I have not been for so many years now, everything in me screaming how bad this was, but I had to do it as they said. I sat in my car contemplating how I was going to go about it until I heard commotion from inside the house and then the front door swung open,"You know that we realized you were here long time ago so just come out already, Mum is waiting" Jay hollered from the door after staring for a while,I took in a deep breath before taking the bold step of coming down, I stood beside my car just staring at the compound as the feeling of nostalgia hit me, I can remember vividly all the memories I had here before I stopped coming,"After you" he ushered once I got to the front door,"Where is she?" I asked, looking around,"Balcony" he replied pointing towards its direction like I was a visitor here,"I know where it is located, " I muttered,"Just to be certain, you know" he replied with a shrug, I simply ignored the comment and headed to

Jace's POV"What do you mean you have only six months left?" I asked confused, it cannot be what I am thinking, right,"Exactly what it means, her damn lifestyle has finally caught up with her" Dad replied making me turn my attention to him, I was barely holding myself from hitting him right now,"Mum" I called out again when she didn't answer me the first time, that was when I noticed the silent tears that had started falling from her eyes. I held myself from walking up to her to comfort her, I need answers first,"Jay" I turned to face him when I realized Mum wasn't going to say anything in the state she was in,He glanced at her for an approval, in which she hesitated a little before nodding her head a little, her silent cries turning into loud sobs,"Mum has lung cancer" he finally said, avoiding my eyes,"Lung cancer, how? I don't get it, for how long now?" I asked, realizing I was the only person present who didn't know about this before now, how come Dad knew, and I didn't?,"S

Paige's POVI was feeling so much at the same time and I didn't like it one bit, I knew I was letting my guard down, he wouldn't talk to me like that if I wasn't. I am beyond annoyed right now, why on earth did I believe his pleas, he is literally in another woman's arms presently, and I freaking rejected Leon for no reason, since that's what he thinks, I might as well live up to his expectation."Paige?" his voice came in on the second ring,"Yup, it's me" I replied, trying to get over my new profound anxiety, I really don't want to do this but what is better than giving Jace a taste of his medicine,"I didn't think you would call so soon" he replied, sounding happy, now I feel bad about this,"Neither did I" I said under my breath,"I didn't get you, what did you say?" he asked, of course you didn't, you were not supposed to hear it,"How about a little outing, maybe coffee?" I offered, regretting the words immediately I said them,"I would love that, just let me plan the date and t

Paige's POV"Where is he?" I asked Grace as we got to the hospital,"He is stable now, the doctor was able to stop the bleeding" she said trying to calm me down, but I was more than restless,"How come?, how severe is it?" I asked frantically still trying to wrap my head around all of these, She glanced at Lisa first hesitation clearly written on her face,"Talk to me" I screamed at them not minding the attention we were starting to get,"From what we gathered, he wasn't on the road, the car intentionally hit him" Lisa blurted out,"What?" I asked shocked,"Someone wanted to kill him Paige" Grace said, her voice really low like she couldn't fathom it either,"Why will someone want to kill a six-year-old?" I asked no one in particular as shocked consumed me whole, I just had that feeling something was wrong immediately Leon and I left that restaurant, from the creepy person watching us to the eerie silence and darkness of the street and then my apartment, I just ignored the signs and n

Paige's POVI stood in front of the mirror staring at the very visible hickey sitting comfortably on my neck as last night replayed in my head, what was I even thinking,"Well hello to my favorite person in the whole world," Lisa squealed over the phone,"We both know I am no longer your favorite person in the world so don't flatter me" I scoffed a small smile on my face,"I am hurt, I can't believe you think I can replace you so easily," she said in a fake sad tone,"Oh please, I am already trying to get used to it, Brandon replaced me long ago" I replied laughing at her melodrama,"I can't replace my best girl with some guy that just proposed," she said excitement filling her voice as she said the last part,"Really?" I squealed,"Yes, girl you need to see this ring, I just sent you a photo of it, he knows how to get to me," she said excitedly,"This is really pretty" I expressed staring at the picture she sent to me,"I know right, if you weren't so far away we would have celebrate
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Forty six-Paige
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
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Forty five -Jace
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 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

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

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"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'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
