Paige's POVI was watching Nate playing on my laptop when my phone suddenly rang. Without taking my eyes off of Nate, I answered the call. "Hello?"[Miss Lopez? This is Asher's adviser. Please come to the nearest hospital. Asher passed out because of a fever.]I immediately rose from my seat as my heart raced in nervousness. Fever. It's just a fever but the thought of losing another child made me so scared. I grabbed my bag and called Nate."Nate, baby. Let's go. I have to go somewhere.""Where, mommy?"I froze and looked at him. "T-To my son."His eyes widened. "My brother? I have a brother?"Brother. I felt my heart skip a beat because of that word. For some reason, I want him to call Asher his brother. I nodded at him. "Y-Yes, baby. We're going to your baby brother."He ran to me and wiped his sweat using the back of his hand. He grabbed my hand. "Let's go, mommy."I nodded at him and squeezed his tiny hand. We left the office together and my assistant, Jean, immediately rose from
Paige's POV"I'll send him home now, Neo."[Uh… Can he stay in your place tonight, Paige? I just have to finish something in the office. But if not, it's okay. Just send me your location and I'll pick him up.]I looked at Nate and Asher playing on the hospital bed. They're watching on Steve's cellphone. Of course, Alex, Steve and Ares already know about Nate. I couldn't hide the truth from them since they visited Asher this afternoon in the hospital.I chewed my bottom lip after seeing Asher smiling at Nate. They're getting along.I caressed my nape. "It's okay, Neo. He can stay at my place."[Thank you! Thank you so much, Paige. I'll just pick him up tomorrow.]I nodded. "Just pick him up tomorrow in the hotel."[Okay. Thank you again, Paige.]I ended the call after that and went back on the couch beside Steve. He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows. "You're actually close to Neo Hanson?"I shook my head. "Not really. We're just… uh… friends?"He heaved a sigh and massaged his forehe
Noah's POVAs usual, I was waiting for Paige in the lobby when my phone suddenly rang. It was Thalia. I don't have plans to talk to her but I suddenly thought of Naomi."Hello?"[I see why you suddenly changed, Noah. She's back again and I figured she's working in Hotel Monroe. Just you wait, I'll make her suffer!]I clenched my jaws. "Leave Paige out of this, Thalia."[Oh! Haha! You are so fcking in love with her, huh? Don't worry, I have plans for the both of you. Oh, by the way, you will never see Naomi again.]I rose from my seat as I balled my fists. "Where are you taking her, Thalia?"[I will tell you once you agree to marry me, Noah.]"You've gone crazy!"[I am, Noah. I told you, you are mine. If I have to do the most impossible things just to make you mine, I'll do it. If I can't use your company anymore to make you obey me, I'll use our daughter.]"Damn it, Thalia! Leave Naomi out of our mess."[No can do. I've decided and you can't stop me anymore.]I gritted my teeth and cu
Paige's POV"Noah, w-we had twins."I can't read the expression on his face. I sucked my breath and swallowed hard, watching his reaction. He was just looking down at me, tongue-tied. His lips parted as his eyes watched me intently.I squeezed my eyes closed. "Y-You divorced me. Y-You wanted a son. I was scared you'd take him away from me, so I hid the fact that we had twins and… and the other one is alive."His hands started trembling until he fell on the floor, shaking. I cupped my mouth, watching him with tears. Oh, God! What have I done?He looked down and his shoulders started shaking. Scared, I took a step back but he slowly lifted his arm as he looked up at me.His eyes are begging. "H-Hold me, please… Hold me, please."I kneeled in front of him and hugged him. He rested his forehead on my shoulder as he cried silently."I'm sorry… I'm sorry for making you feel that way, Paige. I'm sorry…"I shook my head. "I-I became selfish, Noah.""Y-You did that because I hurt you so much."
Paige's POVI stared at Noah and Asher sleeping on the hospital bed. I'm sitting on the couch while watching them. They're hugging each other and no one can deny that they're father and son.Suddenly, the door swung open. The doctor entered and smiled at me. He immediately checked on Asher before turning to me. We stepped out of the room to talk."How is my son, doctor?""He's okay now. You can take him home later."I smiled and nodded. "Thank you, doctor."I was about to go back inside when I saw two women keep on glancing at me. My forehead creased as I looked at them."How shameless!""I know right. I feel so bad for Thalia. She's too kind to be cheated on."My jaw almost dropped. I saw them holding their cellphones, so I immediately went back inside the room and grabbed my cellphone. I realized what's happening after I saw the news on the internet. A photo of me and Noah holding each other's hands and hugging each other in the hospital was all over the internet. The article says I
Noah's POVI gritted my teeth after facing the person who took the photos. I grabbed a chair and put it in front of him before sitting on it. I stared at his face with nothing but anger in my eyes."Tell me. Who paid you?"He looked away. "No one."I laughed sarcastically. "I'll ask you again, asshole. Who paid you?"He grinned. "I know you have someone in your mind, Noah Hanson. Why not go straight to that person? Scared?"I rose from my seat and kicked his chest, causing him to fall with the chair while coughing. I looked at him blankly. "I just need confirmation. And mind you, fear is not on my list of vocabulary."I turned my back on him and languidly looked at Oliver. "Bury him alive.""No! No, Mr. Hanson!" I heard the bastard calling me.I continued walking."Mr. Hanson! I will tell you about Mr. Roberts' plans. He's planning to ambush you for hurting his daughter. He's also planning to sabotage your projects so you'd take all the blame and fall."I stopped on my tracks as I hea
Noah's POV"I'll make Thalia's father believe that he succeeded in killing me," I said to Isaiah and he cursed."You mean, you'll put your life on the line?""I promised myself that I will do everything to protect my family."Isaiah massaged his forehead. "Noah, Mr. Roberts is a retired Military General. By now, he definitely knows that we captured the people hired to follow you and Paige. There's also a possibility that those plans are a trap.""I know," I said and slowly nodded. "That's why I'll play his game.""What do you mean?"I rested my back against the couch. "I'll do the rest, Isaiah. Just make sure that no one will interfere in my plans because if something goes wrong, I'd be caught and die.""Noah…" he said and cursed again. "Damn! I don't like your plans!"That very night, I called Thalia, begging to stop her father. She's being so stubborn and said she would only make her father stop if I come to her tonight. My plan is working.My first plan is to make Thalia believe th
Paige's POVTears formed in the corner of my eyes. I felt like something exploded right in my face. No! No! That's impossible. I shook my head as I grabbed Achi's arm. "W-What… What do you mean?"He palmed his forehead and shook his head. "I don't know what happened, Paige. I just saw the news about Noah's car exploding and a body inside was found."I sucked my breath as my hands trembled. I shook my head continuously. "No. No, Achi. It's not him. It's not him, Achi."He nodded. "We believed that it's not him, but Oliver is here. He confirmed that it was Noah inside that car—"I didn't wait for Achi to finish talking. I ran downstairs and saw Oliver and Isaiah with Steve and my cousins. I rushed towards Oliver and grabbed his arm.He looked at me with tears in the corner of his eyes. "Miss Paige…""What happened, Oliver. It's not him, right? Tell me it was not him!"He looked down. He seemed to be restraining his tears a while ago but his emotions bursted out after he saw me. "Miss Pa
