Chapter 110.Chloe's POV."I have to turn in my assignments today." I heard Aria complain quietly as I moved downstairs, with a smile on my face. If there was something that I could change, it had to be the way they were so concerned about getting to school just to please my sister. "Oh, I don't think that we need to turn it in just yet but we need to work on it regardless. What do you think?""Absolutely nothing. I don't think that we need to roam around just yet, Mendy isn't going to allow us to relax, she's going to stress us the hell out.""Oh, right? We shouldn't forget to turn it in. It's a little too stressful to say the least. How are you coping?""Good." "Yeah, right."Hearing my children speak like they weren't aware of my presence rubbed off wrongly on me but what could I do about that?"Lia should be here. She said she was gonna help me with my assignment.""I can help you." I interjected, watching them look at me as though there was an issue but I didn't bother about t
Chapter 111. Liam's POV.I sat at the table, lifting several pages of these distant jobs that should have been delivered simply when I had the chance and then went on to blow it by Brandon's intervention. I would never be allowed to get the deals sealer anymore because people miraculously danced to his tune no matter what. As much as I would have loved to challenge this, at the same time, I had a lot of time to reflect on what was more important to me. I had the opportunity to deal with it but I refused because that was meant to bring up a war and right now we were not in that state.I wanted to solidify my presence but the only way to do that was to make sure that there was nothing that would link me with Mendy just yet but she didn't want to leave. My eyes roamed over the files in front of me and I realized that I had made a huge mistake in the past by not bringing the words to limelight before going ahead to deal with it now I was stuck, and couldn't do a thing about it. My m
Chapter 112. Chloe's POV. I took a deep breath trying to figure out how to start this conversation. "So, I have something in mind, I overheard your conversation about us almost being attacked and I felt like I could weigh in.""What do you possibly have to say? That I also ask alpha Brandon to stay because I cannot be capable of providing security to my pack? Or what?" "I would never insinuate that you have no control over your people. I wanted us to seal a deal that has nothing to do with that man and you know this. I want you to step back from having anything to do with my sister and then you can retain your power over these people.""They are not blind not to see what you have done so far and you expect them to still be happy with you, definitely not to rebel when you have done something so appalling. You are not supposed to be found in any relationship with Mendy."Deep down I knew that I was just testing out the waters and hoping that he didn't bite my head off after everythin
Chapter 113.Chloe's POV. "Well how did he take it?" Lucy asked immediately after I told her the news."Better than I thought but the only issue is sometimes I wonder why he acts erratically. I can almost not predict his next move and that is not great."This was just a trap to make Liam the little bit distracted while I was able to pin the offense on Mendy.I remembered that this was just a momentary distraction and the best way to deal with this was to ensure that there was absolutely enough holding me back. "I don't know what to do when he finds out that it was all a lie. I want to use this to draw him closer if that 's even possible. I sometimes find it hard to comprehend his latest character and I'm not even kidding." I confessed to her.If I wasn't careful I would be running mad and that was not even a joke. "Do you know that my kids hardly greet me anymore? Whenever I try to strike up a conversation with them, they act as though I am putting a knife to their neck and cannot
Chapter 114Chloe's POV.Watching my kids return from school with smiles all over their faces. This was evident that mehndi had returned and she was going to finish the work that she has started. I would never understand her obsession with making sure that my life was ruined by making my children feel like they could enjoy love from somebody who didn't bloody care about them. I descended the stairs, trying to strike a conversation with them at all costs.Aria and Asher gazed at me with a little frown. "Hi, Mom, what's wrong?" Aria asked immediately she set eyes on me, looking confused to see me. I raised my eyebrows, watching them also in shock. "I didn't know that I was supposed to be absent. Is there a reason why you are surprised that my presence? Did someone tell you that I wasn't going to be around?" I challenged them immediately. I wasn't going to tolerate any form of disrespect from them anymore but at the same time didn't want to push them completely away. This could be a
Chapter 115.Author's POV. Mendy walked towards the shore, hoping that she would meet up with her ally, James. This was supposed to solidify whatever they had going on. James appeared at the edge of the shore with annoyance in full force. Remembering Scott's words, he decided to play along. If he acted weirdly, she was going to figure out that he was no longer interested in the deal. "Hey, sorry I'm late.""You have every right to be sorry because now you are wasting my time that I should have used on something more important. How do you even expect me to deal with that?"The question was direct, accusations sparking up as she pointed in his face. "I have no time for people who do not consider this a very important duty to fulfill. I have a job and I need it to be done ASAP. You are the only person that came to mind.""As if." James snorted, masking it with a cough. "I mean it's great but at the same time I have got to chip in something.""Oh, really? What exactly is it?""Don't
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
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 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
