Paige:A Second Chance Romance Twenty seven-Paige
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

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:A Second Chance Romance Thirty two -Paige
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 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
Paige:A Second Chance Romance Forty two-Catherine
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: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
