Paige's POV-The Save (part one) "Paige, Can we talk?" Liam requested as I stood to leave the sitting room, apparently Mum insisted Jace and Carlos should come up with the perfect plan and get back to us in three hours so they were excused and Mum claimed she was hungry and needed to eat something quickly but I am pretty sure she is just avoiding giving Liam the chance to even speak to her leaving me all alone with him, "About?" I asked in a monotone voice making sure I didn't sound so rude, "Please just sit" he pleaded tapping on the space beside him, realising a sigh I sat back down on the sofa opposite him maintaining my distance, "I understand you probably hate me" he started and I chuckled lightly, "I don't hate you, maybe you could say that to Mum, I am sad and disappointed if I should put it that way" I replied, "You should hate me, I should have been there, I should have been the father you needed, you didn't have to grow up without a father figure," he said and I smiled
Unknown POV"We will be moving the children after the banquet" I informed their caretaker over the phone, "But sir, you said we would still be here for the next two years at least" she replied in her usual tiny voice that always irritated me, "Plans changed, last I checked I don't answer to you but the other way round, I am only informing you so you can get them ready and nothing more" I snapped at her, "I'm sorry sir, I would start getting them ready" she answered as I ended the call having no more words to say to her, "Is everything set?" I asked my driver as I walked down the marble stairs, "Yes sir, the banquet will begin in fifteen minutes, we will be there right in time" he informed his gaze fixated on the ground avoiding any form of eye contact, "Let's go then" I instructed letting him lead the way as I dialed his number, "Dad" he answered on the first ring, "You ready?" I asked a small smile on my face as I thought about our well-mapped plan, "As ready as I can ever b
Paige's POV"So you are saying I would have to go in myself?" I asked trying to put everything together,"It's the best option, you are his mother so there should be a bond of some kind between the both of you, if someone else tries to bring him out we are not sure he won't put up a scene that would bring attention" Liam explained,"I understand" I muttered lost in thought,"You are not going to do it, are you?" Jace fired his voice deadly calm,"If it is the only way then why not?" I answered back sarcastically,"You don't fucking get it, do you, those people are dangerous, they could put a bullet right through you without any of us even noticing" he replied tugging at his hair, a habit he always does when he is tensed about something,"That is why we are there to protect her" Carlos spoke up,"Is anyone going to follow her in?" Jace asked with a raised eyebrow, his eyes focused on their facial expressions probably waiting for them to do something suspicious,"We are not very sure ab
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
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
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
