Paige's POV"Paige!"Noah keeps on chasing me after the consultation with the divorce counselor. I don't wanna talk to him. He keeps on convincing me to withdraw the divorce petition I filed."Paige!" He managed to grab my arm but I quickly pushed him away and went inside the passenger seat of Attorney Samantha's car.I sucked my breath and locked the door. Noah keeps on knocking on the window, telling me to open the door."He won't stop, Paige. He badly wants you back."I shook my head. "He wants the baby, Attorney."She started the engine and started driving. She glanced at me. "Do you mean it, Paige?"I pressed my lips together."I heard what you said earlier, Paige. Can you really do that?"I shook my head and looked at her. "I will never harm my baby, Attorney. Never even in my wildest dreams."Attorney Samantha didn't speak again. A deafening silence conquered us until we reached my home. She looked at me. "Go on and rest, Paige. This was a very tiring and long day for you."I s

Paige's POVI slowly rose from my seat while staring back at those familiar furious eyes. His piercing stares are too much to handle. It's making my knees weak but I won't show him how much he affects me in every possible way.He clenched his jaws. "Let's talk."I glanced at Steve Andrews, who stood beside me, facing Noah.Noah glared at Steve and looked at me again. "Paige!"I shook my head. "There's nothing to talk about, Noah.""You agreed to marry that bastard? Who the fck is that asshole?"Sucking my breath, I looked at Steve Andrews and smiled apologetically. He just nodded and smiled. After he grabbed his luggage, he looked at me again. "I'm counting on you, Paige. This is for my dad and your Aunt Precy."I smiled at him. "Thanks, Steve. I'll contact you later."He playfully saluted and turned to Noah. I saw how Noah stared at him with nothing but disgust and judgment."What was that?"I ignored Noah. Instead of fighting with him, I went inside the small office of the shop. He

Noah's POVI dropped my exhausted body on the couch. Staring at the bouquet of roses on the coffee table, I grabbed a bottle of liquor and drank straight from the bottle. I pressed my lips together after that. Bitterness of the liquid drink made me squeeze my eyes. It's so fcking bitter, just like my life.What the fck is happening to me? Weeks ago, I only wanted to get her back after learning about her pregnancy, but these past few days, something's wrong. I even begged to have her again. That's just so fcking absurd because I know that I will never beg for something. I am Noah Hanson. I can get everything I want but when it comes to Paige, why do I seem so weak and incapable?"Aw! Is that for me?"I lifted my face and looked at Thalia. She's smiling sweetly as she carried and smelled the flower. She sat beside me and pressed her lips on mine. She giggled and rested her head on my shoulder.Thalia is my first love. I was so fcking happy when she came back. I immediately asked her to

Paige's POVI felt awkward in Steve's tight hug, so I was the one who pulled away and took a single step back."I'll cook your lunch, Steve. I'm sure you haven't eaten anything."He smiled bitterly. "I'm fine, Paige."I shook my head. "I'm not leaving yet, Steve. I need to make sure that you're really fine.""How about your cousins?" He suddenly asked, ignoring what I said. "You should be taking care of them and your Aunt Precy. How is she, by the way?"I smiled sadly. "She's still unconscious, Steve. And don't worry about my cousins. They're fine.""How 'bout you?" He asked, staring into my eyes.I heaved a sigh. "I'm scared for Aunt Precy. You can't take that away from me. Nevertheless, I'm okay."He nodded and sat on the stool. He watched me as I cooked his lunch. I can feel his stares as he's just silently watching me. I don't know what he's thinking, since I can't read the expression on his face. It was blank, but his eyes were full of sorrow."Paige…"I glanced at him. "Hmm?""I

Paige's POVI was reading the letter from a bank when Ares entered the house and walked towards me. He sat beside me and lazily rested his back on the couch as he spoke… "What's that?"I heaved a sigh and handed the letter to him. "A letter from the bank. We're about to lose this house, Ares."I pressed my lips together and heaved another sigh. It turns out Aunt Precy applied for a loan in a bank and used this house as a collateral when Achi got sick two years ago. We didn't know about this. I was shocked when I received this letter today."A collateral?" Ares blurted out and cursed under his breath. He looked at me as he clenched his jaws. "We can't lose this house, Paige."I nodded. "I know.""How did mom get this kind of loan?"I pointed at the date of the loan. "It was the same day Achi was rushed to the hospital."Ares squeezed his eyes closed and nodded. He folded the letter and hid it in the pocket of his pants."Don't tell Alex and Achi. I'll find a way," he said and massaged
