"Jace, can you stay here for a while, I have to go and check for mom's!"
"Joey is already working on it! You don't need to lift a finger on it!" Jace said with an annoyed expression. She can't really blame him for feeling that way, truth be told, her mom tried to hurt her, her own daughter and even dare to shoot Tara, their little girl.
She sighed. "Okay! Jace, why is there no police in that area by the way? Aren't they supposed to be there because there is a shooting incident!?!!" Arianne asked with curiosity itching on her.

Tara cried loudly as the pain keeps on increasing because of the movement she'd made unknowingly. Jace push the button for the emergency while Arianne rushed to her daughter. She helped her to calm down just by hugging her gently. She also told her daughter to stay still because her wound is still fresh. A few more seconds and a pair of doctor and nurse came in. The doctor checked her wound and saw that it is bleeding but not too much. He just gave Tara medicine for the pain and let the nurse dressed her wound before they both leave. The whole room would be quiet if not for Tara's constant whining. But both of her parents understood that she is just four years old and got shot by a stray bullet so they know better than to assume that she is only acting like a brat. After a few minutes of whining, Tara got very exhausted and fell asleep. Jace and Arianne both felt so much pity for their daughter but they can only do so much as to hug and kiss her.

She give Elise a small smile."Thank you for the understanding and also for taking care of Jacob!" "Oh if you want he can stay with us more!?!!" Elise said looking at Jace. "No, mom!

Just like Tara used to do. "Sure Elise! Once Tara fully recovered I will set a date for that sleepover!" Arianne said smili

When they reached Tara's room, they found her happily talking to Jacob. "Hi princess! does it still hurt a lot?" Jace said as he went to hug and kiss his daughter. "Not really daddy! Jacob here thought maybe because I get to sleep longer that's why! Mommy I'm hungry!" Tara told her mom who is behind her dad. Jace laughed as to how her daughter got easily distracted by anything. Arianne nodded and went to the microwave on one corner and reheat Tara's food. There's mushroom soup, creamy carbonara and a slice of pizza. She then went to the small fridge and found a packed mango juice. She put it all in a tray and place it on Tara's bed. "Mommy I want to sit down! And I'm very hungry too!"

"Mom?" Jace asked his mother but it seems like she is in another dimension right now. "Yes honey?" Elise then said after she came back from her reverie. "I'm just asking you your reason for this unexpected visit?" Jace said casually. Elise sighed as she remember her purpose in coming over. "Your dad is getting agitated about your situation especially in legal aspect." "Mom, you and dad worry too much! Didn't I told him already not to get involve on that aspect? Besides, I'm still at the process of trying to figure out a way or a solution to my problem." "How can you expect us to keep silent about this Jace? Rowan already contacted Stephen about those media reports regarding you! You already ruin Stephen and Rowan's friendship with what you did to his daughter and now what is this?

Arianne's POV After lunchtime, we threw ourselves to as much work as possible. Jace is going for an out of town spare that, state. I am never aware of this new project considering I'm his personal assistant and he's always with me. Or maybe Mr. Austin is involve in this, after all he is the original assistant! I already informed Mandy that we will take charge of the kids today so her first day will have to wait for tomorrow instead although we are still going to compensate her for today. And lastly, I called Riza, yeah I refuse to call her Ms. Porter anymore as I saw her effort on taking care of my dad, for any update for my dad's condition. In less than a week, she already earned my respect and trust. Especially how she treats my kids when we went to visit dad last time. When we reached home, I started packing his clothes while he make some more calls. When I'm almost done, he came inside the room. "Are you done? It's almost time to pic

Jace POV My chest tighten as I walked out of our home. Maybe out of her life if things turns to worst. With a heavy heart I turn to Taylor and told them to put an extra eye and protection to my woman and our children. He patted me on my shoulder. "Just do what you need to do son!

Arianne's POV I woke up with a weird feeling. I remember last night that I was feeling great after exchanging text messages to Jace before I went to sleep. But right now, I can't explain how I really feel. I feel sad and nervous. I feel like I wanna cry without knowing why. To think that my mom is already gone out of this world. Oh my god! I wanted to call the hospital and check for my dad but it's still early maybe a little later then. Seeing the time on my phone, it's just 5:20 in the morning. Maybe even Jace is still sleeping soundly by now. Knowing fully well that I cannot sleep any longer, I went to the bathroom and took a warm shower. Then after, I decided to make breakfast for me and my twins. I took my time preparing for it was still early and there's no need to hurry.
