Chapter 169

Author’s Pov.

Bryan drove roughly to the police station, his mind racing with thoughts of Ross and the predicament she was in.

"What the hell is going on?" he muttered to himself, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. He had just received a call from the officer, informing him that Ross would be taken to court tomorrow, and he couldn't believe it. "Tomorrow? That's ridiculous!"

Ross was like a sister to him, they had been friends since secondary school, and he cared about her deeply. He had tried his best to help her out of the trouble she had gotten herself into, but it seemed like all his efforts had been in vain.

He parked his car in front of the police station and rushed inside, his heart pounding with anxiety..

He went to the officer who had called him earlier "Where's Ross?" he demanded, his voice firm but laced with worry

“Have your sit” officer told him to sit down, which he did reluctantly.

"What's going on, officer? Why is this happening so fast?"

Do we have to?""No, May, you should come with us. It's not far, and we want you to see Bryan's shop. It's a beautiful place." Grandma Terry was insistent, her voice firm but gentle. "Fine, but I'm only going because I have to, not because I want to." May sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. They started moving Grandpa Terry leading the way. As they walked, May's irritation grew. "This is taking forever! How much farther is it?"But no one reply her. They all keep walking without looking at her side which annoys her but she only matches her foot on the floor. Finally, they arrived at the shop, and May's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, this place is beautiful!" she exclaimed, her voice full of admiration and wonder."Yeah, it's nice, but you don't want to come do you?" Ryang runted,

She glared around in annoyance, shaking her head as if she hadn't been given enough time to deal with the difficult customer. "Did you think you had to be a rude customer like that?" Ryan scolded, his gaze cold as ice. "This is your first day, and you've already driven a customer away!"May's eyes blazed with fire as she gritted her teeth. "You shut up if you don't know what's happening! She just barged in here, pricing each fish, and then had the audacity to tell me she's not buying again.

I wasn't interested in this tedious task, but I'm left with no option than to stare."Wow, look at this! She's actually making something!" Lucy exclaimed, trying to sound enthusiastic."If you also gave it your best effort, you could create something beautiful," Sarah remarked."I wish I could, but my interest in sewing cloth is as small as the tip of my fingernail," I replied, raising my fingers up."That's because you don't think about it deeply," Emma observed from the other side."Imagine if you could sew the cloth you're wearing. Isn't that cool?" Sarah smile. I glared at the cloth I was wearing and pouted, knowing she was right. Imagine if I could sew and wouldn't have to bother buying cloth again. But it wasn't just my best interest."That's a different story...imagine if you could sew a luxury wedding gown with the most expensive silk material...urge...

If I wasn’t mistaken and I could recall very well, this was the exact dress I had drawn with my whole heart and soul in designing, when I was still in high school! I showed my grandmother then and she showered me with praise and admiration, she advised me to put in my all since I’m a blessed one but then I was too small to see through what grandma saw, and now what? Even though just a night the book vanished into thin air, I searched for it but I couldn’t find it but with this dress that I saw, it looked exactly like the one I had drawn then. “Oh my god, I simply adore this dress, the design is top notch even the fabric was gleaming” Mendy gushed over the dress her voice overflowing with happiness. “I was surprised the dress came out as beautiful as this and I must say, you have a high sense of fashion” Bryan joined lavishing her with praise.

I could sense that what just happened now was irritating Bryan and the rest and they all sought to know the reason behind the commotion. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to cause a scene ” I breathe out trying hard not to let my emotions take control over my voice. “You don’t need to apologize it’s clear that Mendy was the one that caused most of it with her rude and unthinkable attitude” Lucy spoke up “She’s always causing trouble and drama wherever so goes” she added through gritted teeth. "But why has Mam Mendy caused so much trouble here?" Emma asked her voice laced with concern, her brow furrowed. I wished I could answer her, but I wasn't ready to talk about it yet.“I wonder the same but we can’t know that unless Chloe explains?" Emma snapped. “I’m sorry guys, I'm not in my

Emma's eyes were filled with concern. “No” I shook my head, feeling a deep lump in my throat "I have a brother who used to love me, but suddenly he switched sides and chose Mendy over me." My voice cracked. "What about your mate?” Sarah's asked her mouth agape. “The one who rejected you and chose your sister over you?" her voice laced with disbelief.I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself.“It is not his fault, he was bewitched by Mendy’s sucked attitude but I guess now he is regretting his action” I explained tears welling up my face. “But I'm not ready to forgive him” Bryan’s face turned to thou

    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

    Author’s POVMendy’s sharp eye was on Liam, his presence commanding attention. She felt the weight of her anger bubbling beneath her carefully composed exterior, but she masked it with a small smile. Her posture was relaxed, almost lazy, as if she had all the time in the world.Liam’s expression was the opposite—his jaw was clenched tight, and his fiery gaze was locked on her. Even without his Alpha aura pressing down on the room, his presence was intimidating enough. The principal, standing nearby, cleared his throat nervously.“Mr. Liam, perhaps we can—”“This doesn’t concern you,” Liam cut her off sharply, his tone cold but controlled. He turned his attention back to Mendy, his voice steady but laced with steel. “We need to talk. Alone.”The principal hesitated, but Mendy stepped forward, gesturing for him to leave. “It’s fine,” she said sweetly, her tone dripping with false politeness. “I can handle this. There’s no need to worry.” She added. The principal looked between them, he

    Liam’s POV The house was eerily quiet when I stepped inside. Too quiet. I called out Chloe’s name, my voice echoing in the space. No answer. My eyes swept the living room, every corner tidy as usual, but something about the silence felt off. She hadn’t mentioned going anywhere.“Chloe?” I tried again, moving toward the kitchen. Nothing.My pulse quickened, an uneasy knot forming in my chest. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number for the third time, only to hear it ring faintly from somewhere upstairs. She wasn’t answering. I bolted up the stairs, following the sound to our bedroom, and found her phone on the nightstand, the screen lighting up with my name.“She left without it,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair.Panic began to creep in. Chloe wasn’t careless with her phone, and the thought of her being unreachable only amplified my worry. I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to think. She might have gone to her office. That seemed like the logical explanation.Without

    Liam’s POV The meeting room was quiet, except for the sound of the projector humming as it displayed charts and statistics. My foreign clients sat stiffly across the table, their expressions grim. I could see the anger in their eyes, the way their eyes darted nervously. They were losing faith in me, and it was starting to show.“Your warehouses are no longer safe,” one of them said, breaking the silence. His voice was sharp, accusing. “It’s like someone knows every location. This isn’t just a coincidence, Mr. Liam. We’re being targeted.” He uttered with a greeted teeth. I leaned back in my chair, forcing a calm smile onto my face. “I understand your concerns,” I said evenly, though inside I was seething. “But I assure you, my team is handling the situation. We’ve reinforced security measures, and we’re monitoring all activities closely.” I tried to reassure them but their gaze was unyielding. “Are you sure that’s enough? This isn’t just bad luck,” one of them said, his voice cold.

    Chloe’s POV The very next day, I found myself standing in front of the school, my kids clutching each of my hands. It was supposed to feel normal, dropping the kids off, and watching them run through the gates. But it didn’t. My chest tightened with each step closer to the entrance. Liam had reassured me endlessly last night, but no amount of comforting words could erase the lingering unease swirling in my mind.“Mommy, can we go now?” Aria tugged at my hand impatiently, breaking my train of thought.“Not yet, sweetheart,” I said, forcing a smile and crouching down to their level. “I need you both to promise me something. If anything feels wrong or someone says something that makes you uncomfortable, you tell your dad or come straight to me. Okay?”“Okay,” they chorused, although Asher gave me a skeptical look. He had her father’s no-nonsense expression, sharp for a six-year-old.I kissed their foreheads and sent them through the gates, my heart sinking further as they disappeared in

    Chloe’s POV The first few days of Mendy’s presence at the school had been uneventful. It was almost as if she were trying to prove herself, and I couldn’t figure out why that bothered me so much. Whenever I went to drop the kids off, she would always smile to greet the kids, praising them for every little thing, acting like the perfect, doting teacher. But the way she looked at them, the way she got just a little too close, set my nerves on edge.It wasn’t even the way she treated them that bothered me. It was how my children were responding to her. Every day, it seemed, I’d hear them tell me how great Mendy was, how she helped them with this or that, how she made them feel so special. I tried to smile, to be supportive, but deep down, a jealousy I couldn’t control bubbled up inside me. I wanted them to see me that way. I wanted to be the one they ran to when they needed praise or affection.The worst part was how they’d grown so attached to her. They came home with stories about Men

    Chloe’s POV The car engine hummed beneath me, but my thoughts were a constant, swirling storm. I couldn’t shake the image of Mendy’s face from my mind. Her too-sweet smile, her fake warmth toward my children—it was all wrong. Something about her felt off. I gripped the steering wheel harder, my fingers aching from the pressure. I needed to talk to Liam. I needed to hear his voice, to feel some semblance of calm, and also to inform him about Mendy. I pulled over to the side of the road, brought out my phone, and dialed his number.The phone rang twice before he picked up, his voice strained. “Chloe?”“Liam, I—” I stopped myself, trying to gather my thoughts. “I don’t know what to do. The principal introduced Mendy as the kids’ new teacher today. She’s been assigned to their class permanently. I can’t— I just can’t trust her with them.”I could hear Liam take a sharp breath on the other end of the line. He sounded tired and worn out, and I hated that. I hated that he had so much on

    Chloe’s POV I couldn’t stop the guilt creeping up my spine as I marched into the principal’s office, demanding a transfer for Aria and Luis. The decision gnawed at me, a tiny voice whispering that I was letting my anger control me, but I shoved it aside. My children didn’t belong in a classroom with Mendy.“I understand your concerns, Mrs. Liam,” the principal said, her tone professional but edged with impatience. “However, I must remind you that we’re the top school in the city. Transferring them now would not only disrupt their education but limit their future opportunities.”I folded my arms, my frustration bubbling over. “And I understand that you think this is the best school, but you don’t understand the history I have with that woman. She’s not safe to be around my children.”The principal sighed, looking at me as if I were a stubborn child throwing a tantrum. “Mendy has done nothing to warrant such concerns. She’s been a model professional since she started here. I’ve reviewe

We’re so lucky to have her, she’s been an absolute gem.”I blinked, sure I’d misheard. “I’m sorry,” I said slowly, my voice trembling with the effort to stay calm. “You’re saying Mendy is my children’s teacher? Or am I just mishearing?”“No you’re not mishearing,” the principal replied, beaming. “She graciously agreed to step in after the original teacher had an accident. We’re very fortunate to have someone so qualified and committed join us at such short notice.” She explained. I stared at her, my mind struggling to process the words. My heart began to race, panic rising in my chest. Mendy. Of all people. Why is this happening to me? “You’ve got to be joking,” I said, my voice sharper now.The principal frowned slightly, the warmth in her expression faltering. “I’m not joking, Mrs. Liam.
