Should I step forward or turn back?"Come in," Liam said, reaching out to hold my hand and guiding me further into the living room. I bod and follow him behind. I took a Sit on the chair, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness swirling inside me. “Did you care for a drink? Or You will freshen up first?” Liam asked but I found it hard to form a response.

I felt the enormous to infiltrate inside the floor but I couldn't. “I'm sorry,” Liam declared before rushing out of the room. I found myself sitting on the floor, my body trembling with a strange mix of emotions. I struggled to make sense of what had just happened. "What... just... happened?" I stammered my voice barely above a whisper. Crawling back to the safety of the bathroom door, I tried to stand up, but my body betrayed me. Weakness consumed me, making it impossible to regain control.My mind raced with fear and uncertainty. What if someone entered the room again? I couldn't bear the thought. With a surge of strength, my legs found their footing, and I hurried towards the door.

But if you want to sleep, good night," he said before opening and closing the door behind him. I let out a sigh of relief."Even if the devil possessed me, I wouldn't join you guys," I muttered to myself. I hurried to the door, opened it, and slammed it shut loudly before locking it with the key. Then, I rushed back to the bedside.I sat down on the bed, eating the bread like a prisoner. I managed to finish six slices before my stomach refused to take in any more. I drank the tea, making sure to empty the cup before dropping it on the floor. Finally, I laid flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling."Are you okay? Sleeping on Liam's bed," I heard my Wolf say, and then I remembered that she hadn't mentioned anything about me coming to Liam's house.With a gentle smile, I nodded my head. "I'm not fully okay, but it's j

But my inner wolf warned me yesterday that it would be a futile effort. My dad has a reputation for being stubborn and unwavering in his decisions.As I walked aimlessly, not knowing where my legs would take me, a voice called out from behind. I turned around to find a complete stranger, someone I had never seen before."Are you okay?" he asked with concern in his voice. I gave a slight nod, intending to continue on my way, but his words stopped me in my tracks once again."Are you sure you're okay? It's not normal to be crying if you're fine," the man insisted.I turned my whole body to face him, taking in his appearance.

I wondered what was so funny and why she called me a "bastard.""I'm sorry, but we don't accept someone Like you," the woman said, and her words pierced into my soul, bringing tears to my eyes."What do you mean, ma'am?" I asked, hoping for an explanation. Instead, she glared at me hatefully and continued with her work."Ma'am, please, I really need this job. I'm willing to do anything you ask. I'll never say no to your requests," I pleaded, hoping she would understand."I won't repeat myself," the woman said through gritted teeth.I looked around, and the people nearby were minding their own business.Sniffing back my tears, I glanced around one last time before walking out of the shop.As I walked along the narrow path, memories flooded my mind, each one carrying its own weight.

Chapter 55. Liam's POV. "Where are we going to?" Asher inquired curiously making me wonder what exactly the problem was. I was waiting to see what could be done concerning these children because they seemed to have a stronger mind of their own. Courtesy of their mother. Chloe influenced the kids because that was the only reason they would ask me such deep questions like adults. "When we get to this place, I want you to be well-behaved. If not, I'm going to take you back immediately," I told both of them Aria looked up at me, inspecting my eyes. "Are you serious right now?" My eyes widened at her language. Again Chloe was to be blamed. "I don't understand what exactly you are talking about but I just want you to be mindful of whatever you are doing." "Tell me what exactly you want. You cried that you wanted to come with me, and I allowed you, and now you're asking if I'm serious? Spare those languages for your mom." Asher looked at me as though I had said something
Chapter 54 Chloe’s POV My heart beat faster as I watched Chloe fall down on the floor, my eyes widened. At first, I thought she was joking until I used my leg to tap her ass, and she refused to lift her body up. “Chloe, stop joking and wake up. Stand up right now!” I lamented, praying for her to get up, but instead, her body remained on the floor. My heart started beating even faster. “Dad! Mom!” I heard a voice from behind, and I turned only to find Aria walking toward me, her brows furrowed. “Dad, what happened to Mom?” Her small voice yelled as she ran to Chloe, leaning beside her and tapping her forehead. “Dad, she is hot! She is feeling hot!” she screamed, and I had no option but to lean toward Chloe and touch her forehead. She felt like somebody who had just been pulled out of hot water. Sweat erupted out of my body as I raised my gaze up. “Aria, stand up. Go to your room. I will be back, let me take Mommy to the hospital,” I said, and she nodded, though she hesitated fo
Chapter 53 Chloe’s POV I hesitated, unsure whether I should assist Liam or not. My gaze lingered on him, filled with a mix of anger and resentment. Initially, I decided to leave him to his fate, but when he groaned in pain, my resolve wavered. I turned back to him, and a wave of sadness washed over me. Reluctantly, I chose to help him. I approached him, bending down to his level, and gently assisted him to his feet. I tried lifting him up, but he seemed heavy. No matter how hard I tried, he kept falling back onto the floor. I didn't know what to do as sadness bubbled up in my mind. I sat down beside him with a trembling body. Tears streamed down my cheek, I didn't know why or what made everything change suddenly. The Liam I got mated to is not the one sitting beside me. The Liam I know would never go out and get himself drunk. The Liam I know would never raise his voice at me, no matter what the situation was. But the one sitting on the floor was totally different. I cleaned th
Chapter 52 Chloe’s POV The silence in the house feels suffocating, and the thought in my chest refuses to lift no matter how much I try to distract myself. The kids are upstairs playing, and I sit alone on the living room couch, staring blankly at the window side. How did we get here? I run my hands through my hair, frustration building as the memories flood back, Liam’s words, his accusations, the bitterness in his voice when he said I’d caused him to lose so much. Every time I replay it, I come up empty. What did I do to deserve this? Where did I go so wrong? Blaming myself is easier than facing the possibility that Liam might be wrong. If it’s my fault, at least I have some control. “Mama?” I heard Asher voice, interrupting my thoughts, and I look up to see him standing at the edge of the room, his wide eyes filled with concern. “Yes, sweetheart?” I say, forcing a smile that feels like it might crack my face. “Are you okay?” He asks, walking closer. His small hand reaches
Chapter 51 Liam’s POV I slam the door behind me, my breath was heavy with anger. Each step i took away from Chloe feels like I’m putting distance between myself and the chaos she brings, but I know it’s a temporary reprieve. Her face lingers in my mind, etched with defiance and hurt, and it only fuels the storm brewing inside of me. I head to the trails behind the house, hoping a run will clear my head. The cool air hits my face as I start, my feet pounding against the dirt path. My muscles ache in ways they haven’t before, and my breath catches, uneven and unfamiliar. Something feels… off. I slow to a walk, pressing a hand to my chest. It’s not just physical, there’s a shift deep within me, something I can’t quite place. My wolf stirs uneasily, a low growl vibrating at the edges of my consciousness. “What now?” I mutter aloud, running a hand through my hair. My wolf didn’t answer, but his presence is stronger, more persistent. It’s like he’s trying to tell me something, b
Chapter 50Chloe’s POV My heart trembles and tears stain my lash. Hearing him calling me a weak wolf makes me more. “Is that what you want, Liam?” My voice is soft but trembling in a way that I could even hear. I search his face, desperate to find something, anything that might make sense of the mess we’ve become.He falters, just for a second. His lips parted as if he were going to say something, and for the briefest moment, I saw the man I was mated to. The man who once held me when I was breaking. But then, as quickly as it came, it’s gone. His jaw tightens, and his eyes harden like steel.“I can’t keep doing this,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair. “I’m tired of everything, I remember…” His voice trails off, and I can see the wheels turning in his head.“Remember what?” I ask, stepping closer. “What is it, Liam? What have I done that’s so unforgivable? Just tell me so I can fix it.”His eyes snap to mine, and the anger there burns like fire. “Fix it?” He lets out a b
Chapter 49Chloe’s POV“Yes cheating, did you think I don’t get to find out? Did you think you married a good!” His voice was sharp cutting through the stillness in the house. “Wha…t are you talking about?” I asked unable to comprehend what I was hearing. “I can’t believe I ever let you into my life, you cheat!” His voice is sharp and the weight of them feels like a punch to my chest.I flinch, my breath hitching as I process what he’s just said. “Liam, I—”“Don’t.” He raises his hand to silence me, his gaze colder than I’ve ever seen it. “Just don’t. I made the mistake of trusting you at first, a huge mistake. You—” he gestures toward me with disdain “—you’ve brought nothing but chaos into my life,” he breathed out heavily. My mouth opens to pronounce something, but no words come out. For a second, I’m stunned. Hurt. But then the anger sets in. “You don’t get to talk to me like that,” I say, my voice trembling but steady.He narrows his eyes. “Don’t I? After everything, you thin
Book 2 Chapter 48 Author’s POV The weight of Liam’s words cut deep into her heart, each syllable striking Chloe like a physical blow. She stared at him, her breath catching in her throat. “What do you mean by that?” she demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and disbelief. He didn’t answer. Instead, he busied himself with his phone, scrolling through it as though she weren’t even there. The casual indifference in his actions ignited a fire in her chest. “Liam!” she snapped, stepping closer. “What do you mean I’m overreacting? Say it to my face.” He didn’t even look up. The phone in his hand buzzed, and before Chloe could say another word, he answered it. “Mendy,” Liam said, his voice softening, a stark contrast to the irritation he’d shown Chloe moments before. “No, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it. She’s just being dramatic again.” Chloe’s heart stopped. Her chest tightened as the words registered. He’s talking about me. She stood frozen, every muscle in her body
Chloe’s POV The house was unusually quiet when Chloe returned. Normally, the laughter and chatter of her children greeted her at the door, but this time, only the faint rustle of maids working in the background broke the silence. She glanced at her phone as she stepped inside, hoping for a message from Liam, but her notifications were blank.Chloe inhaled deeply, forcing herself to relax. Liam will handle it, she reminded herself. He had promised to confront Mendy, and if there was one thing Liam excelled at, it was handling difficult situations. She pushed aside her worry and decided to make the most of the evening.“Mrs. Liam,” one of the maids greeted her with a polite smile, “would you like us to prepare anything for dinner?”Chloe shook her head, an idea forming in her mind. “No, I’ll take care of it tonight. I want to do something special.”The maid’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, but she didn’t protest. Chloe rarely took over in the kitchen, but tonight felt like the perf
