Chapter 177Chloe’s pov. All the staff tried hard not to cry, each of them finding a spot to rest their butt while Lucy wept on my chest. Lucy's face was wet in anguish as she apologized over and over for not being there for me, even though she knew how toxic my family was towards me."Lucy, it's okay," I pet her back, trying to comfort her, "Is Mendy the only sister you have?" 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
Chapter 178 Author’s POV Bryan banged the door tightly, leaving Chlor staring at him in disbelief “Aren’t you going to give me my book?” She proclaimed her voice laced with frustration her hand pressed against her hips. Bryan refused to reply to her, he turned to leave his long strides eating up the distance, Chloe ran behind him, her short legs working harder to keep up the race with Bryan. Chloe tried to stop Bryan but she was too scared to do so, she only walked beside him their footsteps echoed through the passage, a stark constraint on the silence between them. Chloe’s eyes fixed on Bryan her gaze pleading with him but Bryan wasn’t looking at her side. When they got to the open passage that led to the store, Bryan stopped walking and turned to Chloe, his eyes narrowed, his jaw set. "Go join your mate," he said curtly, his voice low and even. Chloe gazed at him trying to calm her angry emotion, her hand was spread out in gesture pointing to the book Bryan was holding
Chapter 179Liam’s POV. I paced back and forth inside my room, my mind swirled with the thought of Chloe, I couldn't seem to get everything straight, the feeling of unease consumed my heart, the urge to ensure she was fine and sound wherever she was. I have been thinking about her throughout the day and I couldn't help but feel the responsibility for her well-being. “I just can't shake off the feeling that she's in danger, I know it's irrational but I can't help” My legs limp beneath my trousers. A knock erupted from the door and I froze for a minute “Who is there?” I asked. I was expecting the person to answer but rather the person opened the door and stepped in without permission. I was about to shout at the person when I realized it was Lia, of course, she's the only one that can do that. She walked inside the room and went to sit down on the bed, her eyes following my every move, her hand folds on her chest. “What are you thinking?” she asked after a long distance of silenc
Chapter 180 Liam” POV I pace around the hall, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. How did Mendy find out about the meeting? And why did I have to hold it at my house? I'm such a fool. My hand rubbed through my hair, trying to calm my racing heart. "Mendy, please, don't start this" I tried to calm her down, but she looked unfazed, my eyes darting around the hall. She stands with her arms crossed on her chest, her eyes flashing with anger. "I ask you a question Liam, Why the hell did you hold a secret meeting?" she demands, her voice rising with frustration. She takes a step closer to me, her eyes rolling fiercely. Luke tries to intervene, his voice calm and soothing. "Mam Mendy, let's talk about this calmly." He said his eyes calm and reassuring but Mendy only glared at him dangerously. "Stay out of this Mr man," she snaps, her eyes never leaving mine. "This is between me and Liam okay?" Now I fully regret holding the meeting here. I should have chosen somewhere far away,
Chapter 181 Author’s pov. As the afternoon wore on, May's had sold a lot of fish, she was the one attending to the Custer since they were all men. She had already sold over $1000 fish, she was giggling from head to toe, the thought of having more sales than Ryan brought her joy. "I can't believe you’ve not sold anything apart from the one you sold in the morning" May exclaimed, with a teased tongue a gesture of ‘I'm good then you’ "What's wrong, are you not charming enough?" she smiled. Ryan rolled his eyes annoyingly "I'm not in the mood to speak with you" he replied merely. Grandma Terry and Grandpa Terry, sitting nearby, chuckled to themselves as they watched the dynamics between the two of them. "Ooh, another customer here,” May snapped simply not interested cause the new customer was a lady and there was a deal between her and Ryan that said, Ryan would attend to the female customer while she would attend to the male customer. Ryan shot May a mock glare before standi
Chapter 182Author’s POV. Ryan gazed wide in shock his eyebrows shooting upward in terror, he scanned the surrounding area with a racing heart. His face mirrored the hysteria expression on May, her eyes enlarged with fear, her lips parted slowly a silent gasp escaping her soul. The bandit surrounded them trailed Them to the middle, Ryan’s face darted from side to side trying hard to read their intention. The rubber’s eyes gleamed with Excitement and greedy. One of the robbers a tall lanky man with a scruffy beard moved closer to Ryan “Hand over your money and everything you have with you” He spoke up his voice was gruff and menacing. His eyes were greedily fixed on the Carton of potato May was carrying. His hand slowly moves to his back resting his hand on the knife in his belt. Ryan’s eyes narrowed trying to read the man’s move he clenched his jaw and stood properly “You want us to give you everything we have?” He asked with a firm but cautious. The gang exchanged glance betwee
Chapter 183 Chloe’s Pov. I remained in the store and quietly sat down while other apprentice went out for lunch, I wasn't in the mood for food, the frustration boiling in me was evident on my face, and Bryan’s refusal to return my book still grated my soul-making my annoyance grow with each passing moment. How could he be so stubborn? Why would he refuse to return my book after the long narration from me? Why would he withhold my book for goodness sake? My mind jugged banging my hand on the table. Or should I sneak into his quarter and steal the book back? Maybe I should wait until he was distracted or create a diversion to draw his attention. But I know isn't possible he is always grumpy blaming me for everything. I sighed heavily, my my mind racing on how I could get the book back, but I knew that would be futile, he would never give me the chance to move closer to him not to talk of stealing the book. Lost in the pool of my through my anger and frustration simmering bel
Chapter 184 Author’s POV. As soon as the stick hit Ryan's head, his white eyeball turned a dangerous red. He glared at May as if she had caused the hit. May shivered in fear, not understanding Ryan's gaze. his was burning with anger, and his jaw was clenched tightly. He turned suddenly back and saw the person who had hit him with the stick it was one of the robbers. Even before Ryan stood up, the robber was already shaking like a leaf. Ryan's face twisted in rage, and he stood up, his movements swift and menacing. Ryan twisted the robber's hand to the back, snatching a loud groan from him. "Please let me go!" the man screamed, his voice trembling with fear. But Ryan wasn't listening. He twisted the hand to his satisfaction, his eyes was blazing with fury, he pushed the man away and the man rolled on the floor, gasping for breath, his face was twisted with in pain. "Are you okay?" May's voice echoed, tears staining her lashes. Her eyes were wide with fear, and her face was pale.
Chapter 71. Chloe's POV. I felt a little perplexed by his accusations when I refused to let him work over me anymore. "You are just looking for excuses to justify your actions. I am not going to waste my time here going back and forth, simply because you cannot make up your damn mind on who you want in your life." I snapped back at him. Gone were the days when he intimidated the hell out of me while I folded my lap gently, waiting for him to speak. I pointed in his face in annoyance. "If you want any form of respect then you have to be willing to deal with me accordingly. You can't go about parading and looking for respect when you have not dished it out to me. My father freaking died, but what did you do? You went ahead to act like a fool!" I wasn't going to allow him to get away with his crimes. I was done making excuses for a grown man. If he wanted me, then he would grow ahead to show it, not me trying to push him to feel something for me. I was not a commodity that could be
Chapter 70. Chloe's POV. I tapped my feet impatiently, waiting for my brother's return, which had taken so long. I would not have expected him to waste so much time except he had an ulterior motive. I knew that it seemed like I was not really concerned by everything that was happening, but I was, just that I wanted some measure of evidence before accusing someone of wrongdoing. Lia walked into my room and clicked her tongue in annoyance. "I understand that you are grieving about your father's death but now you look like Hades!" She exaggerated, plopping on my bed without warning. "I would appreciate it if you took your exaggeration elsewhere, but if you can't, maybe I will just leave the room. I was trying to gather my thoughts." I snapped at her, it was not intentional at all but I was frustrated to that point and didn't care how she might be feeling at that moment. "I am honestly trying to understand why you have decided not to get involved in this. Do you have anything to tel
Chapter 69. Author's pov. Scott took a walk stretching towards the school area so that he could understand how long this was going to take for him to understand and capture everything that his sister had been doing. He was of a firm opinion that she had a hand in this and didn't need any conviction besides that which he already had. One of the things that he kept pretty much close to himself was the fact that she had a lot of people jumping in on the bandwagon and as much as he would have argued with her, he found out that staying away was the best. He watched Mendy move around the school, laughing heartily as much as her heart could bear while getting into the hearts of everyone. You could see them hanging on every word that she spoke, and he wanted to know how she managed to achieve this in such a short time. The Mendy he knew wasn't that great with people and the sudden switch was alarming. Taking a deep breath while reclining against the wall, he watched her relate with
Chapter 68. Chloe's POV. Lia placed right in front of me, with her hands safely at her sides, looking at me as though she needed more explanation as to why I had not taken a firm decision. "You need to tell me that you suspect that she might have something to do with this and was even talking about it yet you left? Tell me something else, and I would readily believe, but not this. Why are you so calm to a fault?" She mumbled under her breath. I didn't want to disgrace myself in that place. "I need to go back and knock some sense into her head because she sounds senseless. How can she even say that?" She demanded, whistling in fury."I think we should focus on more important things than fighting my sister for not showing up despite everything that has happened. I don't think Liam is well and would focus on that while Scott handles the other issues." I responded with a small smile, also hoping that this would help her calm downHer eyes tripled in size as she looked at me, "I woul
Chapter 67. Chloe's POV. Back at my house, I was a bit worried about what could be done to harm me anytime soon because if someone was so pertinent about doing something like this, then they had every intention to even go deeper, making me a bit worried. I decided to seek Mendy out, she had to have answers for everything that had been happening so far. I bumped into Scott on my way out and I was just a little bit worried for the look of excitement I saw in his eyes. He had probably done something pretty insane and was proud of himself which I didn't know how to feel about it. "Where are you off to?""Nowhere in particular, I was trying to talk to Mendy and see what she would have to say concerning the issue at hand because now I'm beginning to wonder why she has been wasting so much time to give me answers."He looked at me with slightly widened eyes, a bit locked in but still very anxious so I decided to speak with him at length to kind of figure out what exactly was going on.
Chapter 66.Chloe's POV. I rushed straight down to the dungeons so that I could meet up with the scientist who had been imprisoned. If I was able to get more information from him, it meant that I was settled but if I wasn't, then I would have to do a lot more just to prove how interesting this was. "Having an initial contact with you I would never have imagined that you would not tell the truth when it is presented to you because of everyone I felt like you would be better." I said immediately I spotted him, looking far off. The man truly looked dejected and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him but it could probably be a lie because that was the way most of them behaved and I had no choice but to do what I could. I stopped moving around and watched his countenance go from being pleased to annoyed in one second. He had a lot to tell me but was holding back. "You are going to remain in this dungeon for a long time and never see your family again. I'm sure that is not what you wa
Chapter 65. Chloe's POV. "It has been revealed that there was something in his food." My heart skipped a bit that the revelation because this was completely beyond what I was expecting in any shape or form. My eyes were focused on what was more necessary than just waiting for answers My wolf package hard time believe it that it was probably just poison. It's substance was not mentioned and that was a huge red flag on its own. Someone had to explain to me in layman's term why the autopsy results didn't reveal anything favorable. There were a lot of things to think about but one of the things that stood out for me was the way the scientist switched carefully while staring at me. This was an explanation that could not be done without and I was expecting more. Scott glanced at me as though we shared the same sentence and he coughed. "Whatever way I know that we still need to talk." He said. The living room was plunged into greater silence as we waited for the answers to be m
Chapter 64. Chloe's POV.Awaiting the autopsy was not even a great idea. All that Chloe thought about was to make her father get the justice he deserved. The insane amount of mishaps that had come into her life the past few days was not to be reckoned with, and she felt like there had to be a means of tackling this without feeling weak or weary from any angle. Her kids didn't even think that their actions had a long-lasting impact.She picked up my phone to call Scott, "what is happening." Liam was less concerned with what was happening, so she needed to get my answers myself. "I don't want you to think so much about everything that has been going on because it's not going to help either of us, but there is only one way that we can achieve our goals, which is by waiting for the result. Then I would know what to do." Scott said. Chloe didn't understand why he was wasting so much time confronting their sister when it was almost getting clear that her father had been murdered, prob
Chapter 63. Chloe's POV I was on my way to my father's room when I stopped halfway, taking a giant sneeze; I found out that the youngest for them wasn't something even important at all. Instead, it was only her next move. Evil when she's poked against, she's poked against close powerful. I could see the way things began to drum in a sarcastic manner. I believed that everything was going to work out for good, but at the same time, I needed to be as careful as I should. I stopped in front of his room and contemplated how my next statement was going to affect him. I needed new people to understand the mood of the population and abide by it, not those who are ready to change me at every cost. Without him clamoring to have some sort of land or power to himself it's made everyone appear in their natural state just to make it very relatable. "I have always had problems with you because of how decided to represent everything that you are and own." I heard someone's voice ringing
