Novel & Cerita Turning Paige

“Letting us stay here. Making food. I don’t know how I’m going to—” My phone lit up on the kitchen island, vibrating insistently. Jack’s name flashed across the screen. Paige’s expression shuttered instantly. Her whole body tensed, and I watched her retreat into that shell she had built around herself. I didn’t answer. Just let it ring until it went to voicemail. “Paige,” I said, swallowing the lump in my throat and turning to face her fully. I met her eyes, which looked fragile, and knew exactly what I had to do to tear her away from him forever.

She had been expecting either Grandma or even the make-up artist who left earlier to check if Rain had arrived as per her request but it wasn't any of those two, it was Cedric looking he just walked out of a mafia runway magazine. Paige felt her breath hitch in her throat as she allowed her gaze to fall on him, checking him out of hair to toe. Why the fuck did the stylist think it was okay to flaunt his thighs like that, she remembered vividly riding those thighs some weeks ago and… “Like what you see?” Paige immediately shook her head, “I mean, I'm just surprised to see you here, that's all,” She lied, clearing her throat to hide the pink tinting her cheeks.

She turned to the men behind her and snapped her fingers. “Clean the girl up. Wipe the blood off her pretty little face. Make her look presentable before we gift-wrap her for this fine gentleman.” Two of the men disappeared into the corridor. A few minutes later, they reappeared—carrying her. Paige. Her body was limp, her head resting against one of the men’s shoulders. Blood stained her cheek. Her lips were cracked. Bruises colored her arms and legs like paint from a tragic masterpiece. She looked so fragile. So human.

I felt like I was going to disappear into that tree in a moment. I pursed my lips, controlled my breath. He might be a ghost. Or might not. "Paige, Paige Kam." "Nice to meet you."He took my hand and kissed it. I froze. Wait wait wait! That guy isn't Damien, got it?! * "Lisa, can I talk to you about something?" She was dressed up, ready to party, as usual. "What again, Paige? How do I look?"She turned around, showing off her laps and the skimpy gown she wore.

she said. I frowned. "Let me introduce you to Ben first," I pulled her away. "Just next time." She back away. "Why? You didn't even say Hi to your uncle," I furrowed. "I have something important to tell you," Paige said seriously. "Hahaha did I say that? Will you admit that you like me as your lover?" I winked at her "Crazy," "What is it? Haha, it looks important," I asked in surprise. "I signed you up for a model of Reedelkin audition," Paige smiled.

What followed was the scene I would never forget—five steel bars pierced through my body while she smiled down at me and said, "Carlee Hood, who do you think Dominic would save if we both crashed? My bet's on me!" Paige was a master of deception, always playing the part of the pure, gentle saint in front of Dominic. When he saw the footage of her snarling and trying to kill me, he froze. For a moment, I thought he might finally apologize—maybe show some guilt, some regret. Instead, after a pause, he said, "Paige made a mistake, but she's injured. She's not well enough to go to jail." She wasn't well enough to go to jail?

The door was ajar, and Talia could hear Paige talking on the phone. "Mr. Pratt? Hello, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. "Yes, this is Paige, the model. "Okay, well, I won't keep you." A few moments later, Paige dialed another number. "Hello, Mr. Aguilar, it's Paige Webb. I was hoping you could help me with something. "Oh, Mr. Aguilar's busy? Well, never mind, then. "Hello, is this Mr. Hardin? Yes, it's Paige."

Elder, younger everybody has joined the war and the entire ward echoed with the sound of it’s my turn. Stefan and Sarah looked at each other and said in unison. “Hold on guys, it’s my turn.” The end.

I push through the crowd and onto the stairs. “Everyone, Paige comes from a small pack, and this is overwhelming to her. So if you could please space out and quiet down, I can bring Paige around to meet you all.” Paige pinches my skin. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s hugging me tighter or trying to hurt me for admitting she’s overwhelmed. Either way, it’s adorable. “I’m not a trophy. You can’t show me off,” Paige whispers with a fake smile. Instead of her intended anger, only fear seeps through her words.

After an earthquake, my sister, Lila York, and I joined a search and rescue team. In my past life, she dug through the debris half-heartedly, looking tired and resigned. This time, she was beyond excited. Her facial muscles twitched and twisted with her agitation. To prevent me from stopping her, she shoved me to the ground and threw pieces of debris at my legs. Then, she ran to a spot in the debris where a wealthy woman was trapped. As she excitedly dug through the rubble, she muttered, "I'm going to be the heiress this time. I'm going to be rich!"
