Paige's POV"I love burgers!" Asher exclaimed after Neo bought the twins a burger. Naomi is now eating her ice cream. They're being pampered by Neo and their uncles. We still couldn't tell the kids about their real situation, but I'm trying to make them understand little by little. I know Asher already has an idea, I just hope he will understand.We're staying in Noah's house since the renovation of Aunt Precy's house is still ongoing. It's been 3 months since the incident happened. After the explosion, Neo and Noah came out from the side of the burning house. Neo said he saw Noah entering, following Tessa who's being dragged by Wilson, so he followed.I'm so thankful to Neo. Actually, Isaiah tried to follow Tessa too, but one of the hired killers tried to shoot my dad, so he saved my dad first. I was too oblivious to what's happening behind me that night because I was too focused on the burning house."I'm back!" Tessa entered the house with a big smile plastered on her lips. She's c
Paige's POV"I think something is going on between Tessa and Steve," I whispered to Noah while we're in his office. I visited him here today. He's very busy. So, I visited him. I also brought him lunch.He turned to me. His eyes are tired and sleepy. His reddish lips are slightly parted and wet. I would want to kiss those lips all day. "You think so?"I nodded. "Yup!"He started massaging his temple. I smiled while watching him. I understand that he's tired. He's managing two companies and it's easy. I don't know how to help him, so taking care of him while he's working is the least thing I can do.I pulled myself up and started massaging his temple. He froze and looked at me. I smiled and crouched behind him. I kissed his nose. "Let me massage you."He smiled and squeezed his eyes closed, allowing me to do what I wanted."Paige…""Hmm?""You think the kids will forgive us when the right time comes?"I froze for a second and heaved a sigh. "I hope so, Noah."He opened his eyes and our
Paige's POVThis is the time I've been waiting for. After everything that happened, we're finally here. After all the pain, all the hardships, all the tears we shed, all the heartaches we felt, finally. Finally, we're here. It's making my heart jump in so much happiness.I chewed my bottom lip as I held my bouquet tight. I'm nervous. I'm standing in front of the glass house. We're having a beach wedding and this is actually my dream wedding.I smiled as I looked at the horizon. The calm sea is so beautiful to watch. I could spend my whole day watching the ocean."Paige!"I looked at Tessa. She's beautiful in her dress. I smiled and waved at her. "Hi."She stared at me while smiling. "You're so beautiful."I chuckled and caressed her hair. "Thank you. You're so beautiful too, Tessa."She giggled. "I know right."I smiled and stared at her. "Do you wanna share something with me?"Her smile faded and she pouted. She even rolled her eyes as she answered. "I'll tell you everything soon. Fo
Noah's POVI'm sitting on the bench while reading a book. Isaiah is with me. He's winking and waving at every college girls who pass in front of us. I frowned even more when he gave them flying kisses. I shook my head. He's hopeless. I'm a womanizer but not in school. I'm also choosing the woman I'd flirt with, not like him who would flirt with every woman he sees."She's looking at you again."My forehead creased and looked in the direction where Isaiah is looking. My eyebrow automatically shot up after I caught her staring at me. She quickly averted her gaze but it doesn't change the fact that she's been stalking me ever since we bumped into each other in the library.Isaiah moved closer to me to whisper. "Cousin, why don't you entertain her? Can't you see? She's cute."I glared at Isaiah. "You know I like Thalia. And damn, cousin. Can't you see that woman's face? She's too innocent. She looked like a baby."Isaiah's laughter broke. "That's the point, cousin. She looks like a baby.
Paige’s POV“Noah Hanson, do you take Paige Lopez as your wife?”“I do.”I felt bitterness as I reminisced the day we got married. He accepted me in his life. He answered so quickly and I didn’t realize he'd let go swiftly too. I’ve been in love with Noah Hanson since we were in College. So when he suddenly asked me out, I grabbed the opportunity despite the arrangement and agreement he wanted. I married him, hoping I can make him fall in love with me. We were getting along. So, I don’t understand why he asked for a divorce on our first anniversary. Am I lacking something? I just can’t understand. I gave him everything.“Sign the divorce papers, Paige. I’m giving you a week to sign it.”Tears rolled down my cheeks. “Why?”His forehead creased. “Why? We had an agreement, Paige. I’ll marry you and you’ll give me a son. It’s that simple.”Right. Why did I even forget about the only reason for this marriage?“But we still have time and you didn’t tell me that you’ll divorce me if I fail t
Paige’s POV“Paige?” Noah noticed me. I gasped as I realized the emotions in his eyes. He’s not scared or shocked that I saw them making out. Instead, he looked pissed. Oh God! I thought I managed to tame his wild heart within a year of our marriage. I was so wrong.“What are you doing here?” He asked again, fixing his long-sleeves polo. The polo that I gave him last month.Instead of watching him, I turned to his mistress. Thalia, the well-known actress and model is standing before my eyes, looking at me with disgust when I am the one who should be disgusted by her. I balled my fists and attacked her without a word.“OUCH!” She screamed after I pulled her hair. I even scratched her arm and tried to choke her but she was able to move away.“FCK! STOP IT, PAIGE!”I ignored Noah and continued pulling Thalia’s hair.“I SAID STOP IT, PAIGE! JUST STOP!”“NOAH, HELP ME! LET ME GO, YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU CRAZY!”I laughed without humor. “YOU ARE A DISGUSTING MISTRESS–”I was pushed to the g
Noah’s POVFour months later…I was in a gym, working out and killing some time when my assistant entered. He fixed his thick eyeglasses before he spoke. “Sir, I received a call from your father’s attorney. Miss Paige is in the hospital.”My forehead creased as I put the dumbbell down and faced him. “Did I tell you to stalk my ex-wife?”He looked down. “I’m sorry, sir. I just thought you needed to know.”I gritted my teeth and started wiping my sweat. “Why was she sent to the hospital?”“She’s pregnant, sir.”My jaw dropped as I faced him again. He took a step back, scared and intimidated.“What? Did I hear it right?”“She’s pregnant, sir.”I gritted my teeth after he repeated those words. Pregnant? Paige is pregnant? It has only been four months since I filed a divorce and she’s already pregnant… Wait, was it mine? It’s possible!I swallowed hard and looked at Oliver again. “Find out if she’s meeting another guy already.”“Sir?” He fixed his eyeglasses. Shock is evident in his eyes.
Paige’s POVI sucked my breath and wiped the tears in my cheeks after I dropped the coffee I’m making. My right hand is trembling and I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. My heart is pounding so hard in so much anger. I can’t make coffee. I have completely lost my chance to do what I love the most. My wrist had surgery but I couldn’t use it normally like before. I feel so useless. I feel so worthless.I cried harder, unable to take it anymore. I slowly fell on my knees and stared at my trembling right hand. This is so fcking unfair!“Why can’t you let me do the things I want to do, huh?” I confronted my hand as if it would give me an answer. This is so fcking frustrating and despressing. I just want to be happy.I slammed the back of my head against the bar counter as I remembered Noah’s arrogant smile. He still have the guts to show his face to me? He filed a divorce and then what? He said he wants me back? He’s so damn funny and ridiculous!“Paige!”I lifted my face and looked at
