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,"

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

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

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
