Chapter 134Chloe’s POV. With a gentle nod, Liam stood up and walked to the door."Okay, take care. If you're not ready for sleep, you can come join us in the living room. 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
Chapter 135Author’s POV. After many attempts, May eventually gave up. She had tried her best to bring back Ryan's memory, but it was all in vain. Ryan stared at her like a stranger, and it hurt May deeply. She had planned on showing her gratitude to Ryan for saving her life from Jax, but now he couldn't even remember it.Ryan sat outside, his eyes fixed on the stream in front of them. The sound of the flowing water brought him a sense of relief. He closed his eyes, enjoying the soothing melody and the cool breeze.May stared at him, anger building inside her. How could Ryan forget about her? What frustrated her even more was that he seemed okay with not remembering. The last time she saw him in Jax's pack, he had told her he loved her. Since that day, she had been holding onto that promise.Angrily, May stood up and walked towards Ryan. She gave him a firm slap, causing him to flinch and hold the spot where she hit him."What the heck are you doing?" Ryan exclaimed."Why are you yel
Chapter 136Chloe’s POV. After giving Mendy's cheeks a proper farewell, I found myself wandering through the streets of MayHill, tears streaming down my face.I had planned to visit my father's house, hoping that maybe he would accept and forgive me. 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. He was in his fifties, with a few strands of white hair and a face that radiated pure happiness. It was a happiness
Chloe’s POV. "Yes ma'am," I said with a smile tugging at my lips.“A bastard like you? want to work?” the woman asked and frown my brows. she burst into laughter, her laughter echoing through the street. 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 138 Author’s POV. Ryan and May stood on the boat, their bodies swaying gently with the motion of the water. The rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the boat created a gentle hymn that echoed loudly in their ears. May's lips were tightly pressed together, her teeth biting down painfully. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that washed over her whenever the thought of MayHill crossed her mind. The mere possibility of encountering Chloe in that place sent shivers down her spine. Though uncertain if Chloe would even be present in MayHill, the hurt and resentment between them still lingered in her heart and she wasn't ready to face Chloe, to confront the situation that had been left unresolved. Ryan, on the other hand, had a blank expression on his face, his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and pain. The memories of his past eluded him, slipping through his fingers like sand. No matter how hard he tried to grasp onto them, they remained just out of re
Chapter 139Chloe’s POV "Please, ma'am, I promise to work hard. Please consider employing me," my voice echoed through the building, drawing the attention of all the customers in the shop.I swallowed the emptiness down my throat, wondering if the woman would show some understanding and give me a chance."Did you have to shout like that?" the woman muttered in a low, husky voice, walking closer to me."Please don't shout like that again. You might scare the customers away," she said, glancing around to see if anyone was watching us."I'm sorry, ma'am," I apologize, taking a deep breath."Follow me," she instructed, and I obediently followed behind.I didn't know where she was taking me, but I held onto the hope that she would give me the opportunity I desperately needed.She led me to a room with a beautifully designed door, which she opened before stepping inside. I released a breath of anticipation before following her and closing the door behind me.I watched as she took a seat at
Chapter 140 Chloe’s pov. The door suddenly swung open, and to my surprise, Lucy walked in. I wasn't expecting her to be here, and her presence caught me off guard. "Lucy!" I called out happily, and her gaze shifted to my side, almost dropping the tray she was holding. "Chloe!" she exclaimed, placing the tray on the table and coming towards me. "Chloe," she called again, pulling me into a tight hug. I could feel her tears on my back, and I instantly knew she was crying. We held each other in a warm embrace for a few minutes until Miss Ross's voice interrupted us. "Is that not enough?" she asked, and we reluctantly let go of each other, though our hands remained intertwined. "Did you guys know each other?" Miss Ross inquired, and we both nodded simultaneously. "Yes, Chloe is my best friend from childhood," Lucy explained, and Miss Ross nodded in understanding. I can't explain the happiness I felt in that moment. Knowing that I have someone I can consider a true friend here m
Chloé’s POV. I feel a pang of headache immediately my eyes caught with the ceilings, my gaze dart around, the room quietly unfamiliar to me. I thought I had been kidnapped until my eyes landed on Lucy who was sitting beside me on the bed, worried across her face with her fingers inside her mouth biting it hurtfully. The image of the dead body I saw inside the black box flipped across my face and I quickly held my head “Chloe, are you awake?” I heard Lucy's voice and I could feel the gaps in my body. “Yeah I'm good,” I said slowly putting down my hands my eyes matching Lucy’s eyeballs. “Lucky” my voice shakes as I pull her into a tight hug. “You got me scared for a second”’ she scolded her hands comfortably tapping my shoulder. We hug for like a minute before departing, the image of the dead body is still freaking the hell out of me, I don't Want to believe Lucy knew a dime about it. Lucy held my hands, his eyes scouring for mine “Are you okay now? Your shift is near” she a
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
