Paige's POV"Thank you for giving me a chance to eat dinner with you, Paige."I smiled at Neo. "It's nothing compared to how you made me feel better these past few days, Neo. I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for comforting me."He smiled and grabbed my hand. He squeezed it as he stared into my eyes. "For you, Paige. Anything for you."I nodded and smiled at him again. We started eating in silence while music was playing. After eating, he offered to have a drink."Do you want some wine?"I stared at him for a second and then I nodded. "That would be great."He smiled sweetly. "Wait. I'll just get wine."I nodded. He entered the kitchen of his house. While he's away. I took something from my bag. I poured the liquid content on Neo's food and bit the tip of my finger after that. I waited for him to come back carrying a bottle of wine and glasses.He smiled at me. "Let's have a drink."I nodded and accepted the glass. He poured on my glass and on his glass too. We gently bumped

Paige's POV"Are you sure you want to move into your grandfather's house?"I looked Alex in the eyes. There are doubts in it. Now, I know he's also thinking the same thing as Ares. I can't blame them, though. They know me so well that they can even read the expression on my face.I slowly nodded. "I need to do something.""That might put you in danger, Paige.""I know," I answered. "That's why I'm planning to go there alone."His forehead creased. "What?"I smiled at him. "I will be fine, Alex.""How about the kids? I don't know what to say to Nate anymore, Paige. He keeps on asking about his dad. What happened to Neo Hanson, by the way? Where is he?""He's somewhere safe.""Paige!"I rose from my seat and turned my back on Alex. I remained in that position as I spoke. "I want you to look after my kids, Alex. I will find Noah."I heard him gasping. "Paige, Noah is dead!""No," I answered and faced him. I shook my head. It wasn't him, Alex. That burned body wasn't him.""You said it yo

Paige's POVSilence filled between me and Ares. He was just looking at me when I saw something on the kitchen counter. Ares glanced at the thing that's keeping my gaze locked."That's a gift from Steve. He bought toys for Asher and Nate yesterday."I slowly nodded. "A remote controlled helicopter?""Yeah. Nate loves it."Suddenly, an idea popped up in my mind. My lips curved into a smile as I laughed. Ares looked at me with furrowed eyebrows."What's in your mind, Paige?"I just grinned at him. "May I borrow your cellphone? I'm gonna call Oliver. I can't use my cellphone. It might be bugged."He nodded and handed me his phone despite the visible confusion in his eyes. I typed Oliver's number and called him.[Hello? Who is this?]"Oliver."[Miss Paige! I've been waiting for your call.]I smiled. "Can you buy a remote controlled something that has a camera, Oliver? I need it today."[Sure, Miss Paige.]"Thank you. Give it to Alex today. I'll be waiting."[Noted, Miss Paige. By the way,

Noah's POVI balled my fists as I remained glaring at the close door. I've been held like a prisoner in this cold room for God knows how long. I don't know how I managed to survive. I can clearly remember losing consciousness inside my car and then the next thing I know, I'm inside this room, alone. If not because of the television in this room, I wouldn't know what's happening outside.I died. That's what everyone believed. I almost believed it too after I saw the news about a burned dead body inside my car. Damn it! I'm worried about Paige and Asher. Naomi too. I'm scared of what Thalia might do to my daughter.I heaved a sigh and stared at my hands. I don't understand. After my alleged death, Neo disappeared together with his son. I don't know what's the purpose of all of these. I don't know what's happening. I wanna see Paige. I wanna see my kids but I couldn't escape from this fcking room. It was heavily guarded.The door swung open. I gritted my teeth and stared at the man who j

Paige's POV"Uncle said my death was planned by Thalia's father and your grandfather. I was planning to meet Thalia that night. I want to lure her and get Naomi, but I failed because your grandfather interfered."I heaved a sigh and massaged my temple. This is crazy! Thalia's father wants to kill him because he broke up with Thalia and my grandfather wants to kill him because he chose me.Noah caressed my hands. "We should go back to end this mess, Paige. I wanna spend time with our children. And… I want to make sure that Naomi is safe. She's still a kid."I shook my head. I've talked to his uncle. He called while he's taking a shower and told me about how dangerous it is for him to go out, so obviously, he can't be seen by anyone."Paige…"I shook my head again. "You should stay here, Noah. You can't be seen.""Paige, you can't go back alone."I stared into his eyes, worried. "It's dangerous for you.""I don't care! I'm not letting go back alone, Paige. I'll go with you and I won't c
