Paige's POV "Wakey, Wakey, my princess" A voice I knew rather too well spoke up, as cold engulfed me from the cold water I had just been drenched in."Wake up, these little rats of yours are starting to become a pain in my ass and I am sure you wouldn't want me to shoot them without giving you a chance to say your goodbyes" The voice spoke up again as I struggled to make contact with consciousness."What's happening?" I groaned as I struggled to sit up with the ropes around my wrists and ankles."Mummy" Alex's cry snapped me back fully as everything came to me at once. At the hospital, the twins were taken, I went in search of them, I was taken too and thrown into a car, the man in the car, Grayson?"With the look on your face I like to believe you are fully awake now" He sneered. Mustering up strength and courage I peeled my eyes open to take a look at my perpetrator."You?" I mumbled in shock, still struggling to keep my eyes awake. Did he drug me?"I..." He stammered, unable to fo
Jay's POV“Catherine,” I yelled, going after her.“Let them be, they need this” Jace said calmly, stopping whoever it was that was coming after us. She walked into the garden full-on crying now, her shoulders shaking badly.“Love” I called out softly as I approached her.“Don't, don't you dare” She spat, turning so fast to face me she should have had a whiplash.“I came to you that day to talk, and there I was hoping you would see past my facade like you always do but no I was so wrong, not only did you send me out of your office you sent me straight back to him and then he had proof I was in contact with you, enough reason to keep me hostage so I wouldn't talk” She spat in anger mixed with pain, lots of it.“I was gone for months Jay, you didn't even bother”“You didn't bother to know if maybe it wasn't the betrayal you were thinking, that maybe somehow I wouldn't just decide to leave behind everything we have st
Jace's POV"Carlos, what's wrong? Put the gun down, let's talk about it," Brandon said calmly, reaching out for the gun, while we all watched in shock."Don't come any closer or I will shoot you," Carlos threatened, his eyes red with anger."You are not thinking straight, Carlos," Brandon tried to reason, but even I couldn't make sense of anything. Brandon? But why?"I am thinking better than all of you in this room put together now move or I will shoot you too," Carlos spat, turning off the safety of the rifle he had in hand, his resolve very strong. Move? "I am sorry, I can't let you do this," Brandon said adamantly, and that was when I noticed her Catherine was safely tucked behind Jay, who shielded her, her shoulders shaking profusely as she cried while Brandon stood in front of them both."Do you even know what she has done?" Carlos asked in shock and disbelief, but I couldn't help the sigh of relief that left my lips as I realized my mind was only playing games with me; some be
Jace's POV"You still can't reach her?" Brandon asked, walking into my study as I dropped the fifth call I have made in the past hour. I should have gone to get her myself, there was no information on her or Carlos either, everything is going to shit."Still nothing," I answered, collapsing on my seat in frustration. My patience was wearing thin with every passing minute, the detective had called us earlier on that they had finally gotten a lead and with the information they had we weren't safe, Carlos, Brandon and I decided that we had to leave the country like Carlos had suggested earlier on when the issue with Aurthur happened. We had made all the necessary arrangements within minutes, as it was a plan we had been spotting even before now. After we sent Carlos to get the girls and the twins, we stayed back to clear up a few things at the office. We were supposed to all meet at the airport, but I knew something was wrong the moment I called Paige, and my instincts were right."How i
Jay's POV"Jay," Brenda slurred as she staggered into my room, she was still quite drunk from last night, and I don't expect any less after all she did have a lot to drink."Why are you still here, Brenda?" I asked my voice, blank and devoid of emotion, exactly how my heart felt, too."Oh, come on, Jace, don't be that way, don't tell me you were expecting me to leave so early after all the fun we had last night," She said, more like a statement than a question."It's almost 2 in the afternoon, how is it early?" I asked trying to hide my disgust as she wiggled her fake ass in my face.Brenda is my newest assistant after the last one got married and moved away; she left like everyone else did. I knew from the moment I saw her she wanted something more than a job, and with everything going on right now, I happily decided to play her little game with her."Come on, let's have a little fun first" She said trying to press her fake ass on my groin but there was no reaction and I am sure she
Paige's POV"Lisa," I called out softly, wrapping my hands around her body as she sobbed uncontrollably."She can't die, Paige, she can't," she cried, placing her head on my shoulder."She won't die, the doctors are doing all they can," I assured, rubbing her shoulders to soothe her."She wanted to fix things, I saw it I'm her eyes, but I wanted to be stubborn, I wanted to make her feel pain like I did, and now I may never get the opportunity again," she sobbed."Don't say that, your mother is a fighter, she will make it out of there." "Didn't you hear what John said? She has been sick, and I didn't even know she had been battling cancer for months now, and I had no idea; she couldn't tell me, not after shutting her out of my life.""You can't blame yourself, you didn't know, you couldn't have known," I soothed."I could have at least gotten someone to check on her. I just turned my back on her like she didn't mean anything, she was only married to the man who hurt me, she didn't des
