Chapter 84. Chloe's POV. Gaining independence wasn't as interesting as it sounded because it came with a lot of baggage, ranging from my children not still listening to me despite having called the principal's office, to having Mendy laugh at me the chance she got.It was annoying to say the list and sometimes I was unable to focus on what was more important.I felt like there was something more that I was not doing that made her have the upper hand and I was desperate to find out what exactly it was.This came as a shock to me as I moved around the house trying to make myself useful as Liam had spoken some days ago about me looking for things that didn't matter when I had more important issues to attend to.My consolation was the fact that she was not able to represent me when it came to prominent meetings such as these. I looked into the mirror and gazed at my reflection. It was totally lovely. Anyone would kill to be in my position even though I didn't think I wanted or deserved
Chapter 87.Chloe's POV.The hall fell into author silence immediately we walked in. I was grateful that I had taken Lia's advice on wearing the best number I could find because how was I supposed to face this enormous crowd with a rugged dress? I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something like that happened, and I was kind of happy that I didn't take that chance. Color me shocked when I saw Mendy already seated. I didn't know when she left the house because I stormed off, and waited in the car. It was a grandiose setting, and I commended Liam for whipping up such a quick move in the space of a few hours.This meeting had to be important for him to involve the decorators and everyone who he could find. I had never been more proud of myself than I was at that moment but I was still a little bit skeptical about what this might mean. Did he want to truly show me off or he just used that as an opportunity to get me off his back? Aria and Asher walked in their dress and suit r
Chapter 88.Chloe's POV. "Good evening everyone..." I began softly, hoping that I was able to convince everyone here of my unplanned speech. "I honestly do not know what to say concerning this but I have to begin with the decor. This was a fantastic job and I'm not even lying about it. You have made it worthwhile. You have made it your own, even though you didn't need to. Sometimes I wonder how your mind works. It's great to see that I have talented people around me." I chuckled nervously, trying to buy time as I stared at my friend who nodded in agreement. Mendy's face was swollen in anger and I watched her pick up her phone. It wasn't too long until my husband did the same. They didn't even have the decency to pretend that they listened to me. "It is a great honor to be standing in the presence of a lot of brilliant minds and delivering such a speech. A few people might not consider this as important but I do, it's not every time that you are privileged to meet people of such hi
Chapter 89. Liam's POV. "Why are you frowning so much when you have such a beautiful wife beside you? She is better than most of the women out there and you know this so why the hell are you acting up as if she is not worth it." Alpha Brandon asked immediately Chloe walked away. I didn't understand the tightening that I felt in my chest when I thought about it. They were busy flirting in my presence and expected me to be happy? "It's not about that. How about the merger we planned on signing?" "I would like for us to sign it in your wife's presence because I do not trust you to relay the content of this message to her from what I have seen, she sounds like someone who is well informed, what better way to act if it isn't on the right track? I have a lot of things to talk about with her. I would also like my wife and her to become friends." Alpha Brandon replied with a deep look appearing on his face. How did I tell you not to go ahead without sounding like a bad husband?
Chapter 90.Chloe's POV. The moment our hands brushed I felt the rush that I initially did in the beginning of our relationship and wondered how this was even possible. I would never have imagined in my entire life that I would be speaking to a man who wanted entirely nothing to do with me yet he was busy smiling down as though we were old friends. I couldn't comprehend the fact that he didn't hate me. This was too much for me to understand and I honestly couldn't just put my finger around it. Had someone spoken to him and made him realize how important I was to him or this was just for show?Realizing that all eyes were on me as I refused to answer I smiled, getting into character and moving towards him. "Of course, I would love that. Thank you for asking me for this dance." I smiled at him, even though I was feeling a little bit confused about what was going on. The music started off slow before getting to a high tempo and I watched him nervously. I still didn't understand why h
Chapter 91.Chloe's POV. Lia and I watched my sister sneering at us as though we had ever done something to offend her besides just going on our way. I had come to realize that you didn't need to do too much to upset somebody who was naturally angry with you. "What do we have here? Is a concubine eavesdropping on a wife's conversation? I didn't think I would ever see the day when somebody would be so bold as to be a pest in another person's life. I guess when you live so long, like they say, you get to see a lot of things and even though the people involved do not act like it is something wild, I guess we just have to go with the flow." Lia spoke. Mendy waved her hands in my direction dismissively. "I didn't talk to you, why don't you face what is more important to you instead of engaging in other people's conversations? I don't really care about you Lia, it is my sister who does and I don't know why she even does that." The word 'sister' had me scoffing at her display of such aff
Chapter 92.Liam's POV. Waiting for Chloe's arrival was almost like I was waiting for the new moon to appear because I had been anticipating her return for so long yet she had not shown up. A little different from the person that I knew that she was. Stayed back to make sure that everything was cleaned but that shouldn't impact how fast she would come home like her usual self. Mendy had been acting a little weird, and I was beginning to grow irritated by her demands. After telling her exactly what I'm from Brandon had said she had this notion but I was only pulling her legs or trying to find out how loyal she could be when that was even far from what was happening. How she couldn't see that I'm not a lot to lose by my association with her instead of her sister baffled me. My ringing phone brought me back to reality but even at the same time I was still finding it hard to let go of a fact that the woman womb was always supposed to be with me no longer cared This was all of Alpha B
Chapter 93. Chloe's POV. Immediately my back connected with the wall in my room I started to cry. I could see Liam's confusion but he was not still ready to strengthen his resolve and send my sister away. That was enough to get me in my feelings, if he understood what he did by his actions he would not be asking me for forgiveness that I didn't have to give. I heard pounding on my door and I immediately wiped my tears, glancing at the mirror to check if everything was fine and luckily for me it was. I stopped worrying about my appearance a long time ago but now I was ready to bring back that part of me. It was getting almost interesting that I was losing my focus but, I decided to relax and just watch how things were going to play out then I would be able to make my decision based on that. I opened the door and saw my children looking at me strangely. "Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on here?""We are about to tell you but it is concerning Dad. Did you know that he has b
Chapter 124. Chloe's POV. "So, you mean this is the antidote to the potion my sister used on him? How did you even know that something like this existed?" I inquired from her, inspecting the bottle from back to front. Sophia let out a soft chuckle, "of course I know because I have a background in medicine. I wouldn't really call it that because not everyone who tries their hands at many things, has an idea of what this might be, but whatever the case may be, I guess we don't have to worry our heads about anything.""Yeah, right. So what am I supposed to do with it?" I asked, trying to sniff it to see if I would understand a thing happening here, but it didn't work."You are supposed to just pour in a drop in his tea or coffee so that it works slowly. If you do this consecutively for fourteen days, this might help you to get rid of whatever has settled down in it to his subconscious." She explained to me. Sophia had been nothing short of a blessing to me because immediately I broug
Chapter 123.Author's POV. Sophia bent behind the trees as she waited for Mendy, who had delayed coming out. Glancing at her watch, she began to hiss. How long would it take for mendy to cross over from her house to this arena? Was she hoping that she got caught by Chloe? Mendy arrived with the rustling of bushes as her boots scrunched through them. “I'm sorry for the delay. I needed to sort out a few things so that I didn't get caught. I hope that no one saw you when you were leaving.” “Can we abandon that and move to the reason we are here? I have been able to get her to trust me, what is the next step?” Sophia caught Mendy off. “You shouldn't speak to me in that manner just because you are doing me a favor. In case you have forgotten, you should be thankful that I gave you this opportunity.” “As if I am doing this for you.” Sophia thought inside of her but wouldn't dare utter those words so that she didn't sound opportunistic and make Mendy suspicious. “I apologize, I am on
Chapter 122. Chloe's POV. Confused as hell but didn't want to sound or look like I wasn't polite, I looked away watching the person who was talking staring at me as I tried to figure out what exactly she was saying. "Do I know you?" I inquired, raising my eyebrows a little higher than necessary. "I don't think that you do but I do know you. You are Luna Chloe. One of the best people that we have ever had to grace our arena. I'm sure that a lot of people would regret ever coming against you. You are one of the sweetest people that I know."I recoiled, "okay, back up for a second." She chuckled softly before even advancing towards me, making me a little worried and wondering why this person was so bold to come closer when I had practically told them to stay away. I knew that some people were bold and would not desist unless there was a great reason for that. I had more than not expectations when it came to mingling with people "It would be nice if you introduce yourself after sa
Chapter 121Chloe's POV. "I think that teacher Mendy is one of the best assets to this school. She has been nothing but great to the children, especially how they behave and address people nowadays." One of the parents said. I laughed at their ignorance of the truth. How would anyone in their right senses ever think that my sister was the best thing to happen to their kids? "Haven't you listened to the way your children speak? Do you think that that is the right way things should be done? If you think so, then I would have to question everything that you represent and I'm not even joking about that." I said with so much anger. "That is the basic truth. My daughter had not picked up when she started until Miss Mendy took her in and then made her life beautiful. I know that there might be some issues between both of you but it doesn't change the fact that she is one of the best teachers over here." Another parent spoke. "She has records of people who come to give her accolades. Su
Chapter 120. Chloe's POV. Heading back home was a delight but at the same time also a problem because all I could think of in that moment was how I would be able to handle the situation perfectly without looking helter skelter or being in a dilemma Deciding to go and check up on my kids turned out to be a disheartening move, as I suddenly began to think of everything that had gone wrong. My kids deserve the best but I had not given this to them, not because I didn't want to but because I just didn't have the capacity to do so. Firstly, I encountered one of the teachers at the gate who was looking at me as though I was here on a wicked mission, this was probably the effect of my sister's methods on making everyone see me as the bad guy. "I want to see mendy." I told her, watching her bow immediately and rush off I didn't waste time going after her, passing by mendy's class I heard her teaching the kids on how to be disrespectful even if it was not as instructive as sh
Chapter 119. Chloe's POV. "What happens if I do not have his belongings with me?" I asked, holding my breath, in case things didn't go the way I expected it to."You might have to find it at all cost because then there is a huge problem than we might want to admit. I don't think that there is anything right now, but even at that we can find a way around it. I've got some new ideas." Bryan answered instead of the lady, making me wonder why he was so particular about me finding Liam's things. I wasn't at ease with the new development and would rather just relax and watch things play out naturally, but I also wasn't going to negate the fact that he might be speaking the truth. Helping me in fact was one of the greatest things anyone could do for me and I appreciated his efforts but, I was a little bit skeptical. "I don't want us to do anything that could potentially harm Liam in the future. I just want an antidote to be found in the potion and nothing more." I reiterated, so that th
Chapter 118.Chloe's POV. "Where are you?" Bryan spoke into the earphones I had plugged in. I bent in the bushes, avoiding contact with the patrol guards. It wasn't news that they would not stop until they were able to find out who was out of the house. Liam and I had not crossed paths since the last time we spoke despite living in the same house. Immediately I made peace with myself that he was under an influence. I no longer saw his offenses. Instead I saw him as a man who needed to be careful and that his ex was going to get him. Anyone else could be mad at the recent turn out of events but not me, I knew what I needed to do and was ready to do it nonetheless."I don't want anyone knowing that I'm meeting up with you that's why I'm hiding but as soon as I am able to push them away, trust me when I say that I would come out." I said with a small smile. I knew that I had in some way it made him a little bit happy but I needed to continue fervently. If I allowed this opportunity
Chapter 117.Chloe's POV. Staying for my people was definitely easier said than done because why did I feel like I was missing out on a lot of information when Brian told me to stay clear. To some people, it might mean the world to them but to me, it only made me feel a little bit anxious, and also saddled with responsibility of looking over my shoulders, hoping that everything was going on right.If I had the opportunity, I wouldn't have ever dealt with them. I decided to also take laws into my hands. I needed to find out what my sister was so particular about that made her ignore the brutal signs and go for something that didn't even make any sense whatsoever. I also hated the fact that she could get away with it. Lucy's call came in almost immediately as though she had been monitoring what I was thinking of. "I know that you must probably be thinking of that your god-forsaken sister, you don't need to worry about her instead we should worry about other things." She urged me. A
Chapter 116 Chloe’s POV Unknown: meet at location at map. Immediately. I stare down at my phone, a little startled at the message and very confused. The message came just as I am about to head to bed. A simple text with barely any words, and a simple location, that immediately disappears the moment I finished looking at it. There’s no sender, the number is hidden and unknown written in the usual robotic sans of my phone. There is no way I am supposed to find out who sent the text but somehow it just clicks. Everything from the way it was sent, to the style of the writing screams that the sender whoever it maybe didn't want to be found, or have anyone trace them. Although I know better than to guess just who they are, I couldn't help but know that this was Byrans doing. After everything he was always on alert and would never plays games, still looking at my phone with the image long gone and a simple text indicating that I have already opened the message, I contemplated whether to
