Paige:A Second Chance Romance Twenty nine-Jace
Jace's POV"It's not possible Paige, as I am speaking with you, I have already hired people who are moving your things from your apartment to my house in the main city, I can't afford to lose any of you" I admitted finally blurting out what I wanted to say from the onset bracing myself for her reaction and she didn't disappoint, my left cheek stung, but I guess I deserved it,"You have no right whatsoever to just carry me away from my home I have lived in for six years now, no right at all," she said seething,"I know that Paige, but it's the best thing to do, you will be safer at my place, and you know it," I said trying to convince her,"Because the person after us is afraid of you?" she asked, a challenge dancing in her eyes,"Don't tell me you think I know the person or this is my fault in any way?" I questioned, although her facial expression already gave everything off,"I may have made mistakes in the past, but it hurts me to know that you think so low of me" I answered hurt sp

Paige's POV"He can go home now, but he needs to be under close watch at all times, also his bandages need to be changed after every two days to avoid getting his wounds infected" The doctor instructed signing some documents before handing them over to me,"Thank you" I appreciated getting up to leave,"You don't need to thank me it's my work, ensure to give him his drugs at the right time," he answered,"I will, Doctor" I said with a grateful smile,"I will send a nurse to check on him occasionally" he said,"I will really appreciate that" I said gratefully,"You can go now" he dismissed, and I grabbed my purse and left, heading back to Alex's ward where Grace was getting him ready to leave,"Ready?" I asked as I walked in,"He was trying to throw a little tantrum when he woke up and didn't see you, but he is good now, he slept back after a while" she answered, getting up from the chair she was sitting on,"Thank you very much, I hope he wasn't much of a bother?" I asked, walking ove

Paige's POVWe got to his house and as expected, he didn't disappoint, there was a fountain at the middle of the side garden that the night stars accented very well, the building is definitely a duplex but looks like a massive bungalow from afar, the flowers at the side added to the beauty of the whole environment, someone could spend a whole evening out here and not feel it,"Is it to your taste, my lady?" he asked when he realized how I kept looking around using a fake British accent I would have found funny if we were in a better situation,"That doesn't really matter, I wouldn't be here for long remember" I answered, although I am sure it is clearly written in my face that I really love the environment but until I see the interior I can't decide,"You wouldn't be here for long doesn't mean you won't be happy and comfortable here" he said with a little shrug before ushering me forward, I made sure Alex was comfortable on me before

Paige's POV"I am so sorry, Mum, I didn't mean to leave like that, I was just so scared of disappointing you and reliving the same thing that Dad did to you, it was the only thing that came to mind" I cried out on her body letting the pains from all these years out,"I understand my darling, but I truly wish you talked to me instead, I know I would have been angry and disappointed but not to the extent of wanting you out" she said letting her pain show through her voice as a stray tear fell from her left eye, it made my heart constrict as I thought of all the pain I must have caused her,"I know, I always knew about that fact, and it just made everything so much worse. The thought that you would still want me after everything, I wanted to punish myself forgetting I was punishing you in the process, I am so sorry, Mum" I cried out feeling the burden of leaving her all these years slowly wash away,"Please don't ever leave me again, no matter what" she said now staring deep into my eyes

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

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

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

Paige:A Second Chance Romance Eighty one -Paige
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
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Seventy three-Jace
Jace's POVSuicide? That doesn't even make any sense,"That can't be true, Mum was many things but not suicidal" I argued staring at the hospital report,"Something is not adding up," Paige said and everyone nodded in agreement,"It says here, she abused her drugs"I spoke up again letting the shock sink in,"But Mum wasn't in charge of her drugs, she didn't even know where they were kept, I made sure of that" Jay muttered, nothing seemed to be making sense here,"Who hired the Nurse?" Paige suddenly asked,"Peter, he was actually the first person to find out about her sickness" I answered realization dawning on me, I knew something was up with him since that weekend at Mum's place,"Well, if that is the case, Jay, Brandon, come on, I want to have a word with our dearest old man" I hollered grabbing my car keys,"Be careful guys" Lisa yelled as we headed to the door, halting my steps, I turned to glance at Paige with a small smile on my face, although she wouldn't say it, she was obvio
