View MoreUnknown 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
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
Paige's POVThere has been a looming darkness in the house since we all heard about Jace's Mum's death two days ago, I have only seen him once and that was the night he informed me, he has not been home since then,"I am sure he is fine wherever he is, you need to calm down" Mum cooed but it wasn't working, I am restless and it is all his fault,"He never does this, even Brandon has no idea where he is, Mum what if something bad has happened to him, you know someone is after us, he can't just disappear that way" I replied, the panic in my voice evident,"Calm down my child, he will be home, he is grieving" Mum soothed,"We can't be so sure, what if..." I wanted to say but the loud bang from the front door stopped me and I quickly ran to the door,"Jace?" I called out,"Ohh, you a...re sti...ll here, great. I had th...is cra...zyy dre..am that you le...ft me just li...ke Mum did"he slurred holding on to the wall like his life depended on it,"Have you been drinking? Are you drunk?" I a
Jace's POVIt's been two days since Jay found Catherine, after that night Brandon and I met with them no one has seen or heard from them, we only got a text from Jay assuring us that they are safe, they are still yet to clear the air on all of this."Sir, your 11:00 is here" my secretary informed me,"Okay then, I will be them shortly" I dismissed."Mr. Russo, we were made to believe you are the sole heir to your father's company, so when we have problems with how our business with them is moving we are to question you" one of them spoke up, he was the CEO of Nash Textile and Designs, it was rumored a few years ago that his first son Dexter died of chronic lung disease, leaving him with only one son, Matteo, who from my findings was the black sheep of the family, he was a gentleman to the most of my knowledge but at this point, he was getting on my nerves real quick,"Mr.Nash, right?" I asked for confirmation, he replied with a curt nod and I took that as a sign to continue,"I unders
Catherine's POVIt was bitch black everywhere, they didn't need the blindfold, probably why they took it off. The pain radiating through my body was strong enough to kill me but they didn't physically hurt me at least not yet, made me wonder why everywhere hurt so much, at this point I don't think I could stay here anymore or I might die. I fought to control the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes, I could hear hushed voices from outside but I couldn't make out what they were saying, the ropes around my wrists and ankles seemed they were meant to cut off my blood supply and not keep me put, what's with this people?The voices stopped and footsteps followed suit, they were coming, I can't take any more of whatever this is. The door suddenly swung open and I was greeted by the bright light from outside making me shut my eyes quickly, I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the bright light, there were three of them and they all had masks on,"You know today is your lucky day
Jace's POV"Do you think he would agree to say anything now?" Brandon asked, we were currently driving to the hospital, Jay is to be discharged today, he would have been discharged yesterday but he still wouldn't stay put,"I can't tell, we can only hope" I replied releasing a deep sigh, the conversation Paige and I had last night has been replaying over and over again in my head, I can't seem to focus on anything else, I have not seen her today and when I asked Carlos he gave me a short and curt reply of how she said something about visiting Grayson and Sofya, although I have a feeling she simply wants to avoid me at all cost and I wouldn't even blame her,"Any leads on Catherine?" He asked again,"Not yet but her father's reaction to her sudden disappearance marvels me, I stopped by his office yesterday and he didn't even seem moved by his daughter's kidnap, he looked rather pleased" I informed him, my mind going back to my encounter with Catherine's father last night,"Do you by an
Jace's POV"You know it isn't so fun being called by a strange number at the office that you were hugging a guy at the parking lot of a diner so close by" I spoke up my eyes fixed on the picture I was sent,"I didn't know I was not allowed to hang out with my friends" she replied walking towards her bed,"You are not allowed to hug random guys in random parking lots" I snapped angrily,"But I can hug them somewhere else right" she chuckled tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear,"Paige, do not test my patience, I will not hesitate to put a bullet through his head if he doesn't know his place" I snarled,"As my father or my brother?" she shot back,"Don't say I didn't warn you" I replied turning to leave,"Why do you keep doing this, what do you aim to achieve from all of this, you don't want me but you won't let someone else have me" she suddenly said her voice cold yet sad,"I have always wanted you, Paige, why would you even say that" I quickly replied halting my steps,"Don't li
Paige's POV Six Years AgoI couldn't hold back my tears as I realized that the only boy I let into my life would be the same person to break me,"You can't deny everything just like that, not after everything we have been through" I cried, trying to fight the truth that was staring at me,His lazy gaze fell on me slowly from where he stood a dark look in his eyes I had never seen before,"Well, watch me, Paige, and point of correction we have not been through anything together but it was fun playing with you though" he shot, I could feel my heart shattering into so many tiny pieces at his words,"We need to do something about this baby, our baby" I yelled, letting the tears stream down my face,"Your baby, not ours" he coldly retorted, crashing down on the sofa behind him as if the gravity of our situation weighed nothing on him," You are not really expecting me to kill our child, right?" I questioned already dreading his answer, he had already me
