Chapter 192 Liam’s POV. The next day, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I saw Chloe yesterday. It was definitely her. My curiosity couldn't let go of my doubt. I had prepared to go back to the same shop I had visited yesterday to confirm if I had seen her or not. I had ordered Luke to get the car ready and I knew by now he would be ready. I stormed outside and was met with Lia about to knock on the door. She smiled sweetly at me, and I returned the smile. "You're heading somewhere?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. I nodded. "Where is that?" she asked, but I wasn't ready to tell her, knowing she would try to stop me from going. "Just somewhere. I'll be back soon," I said, tapping her shoulder twice before leaving her behind. I knew her eyes trailed me, but I didn't bother to look back. I walked to where Luke was waiting along with the car and stepped in. Luke started the car, and I gave him the location of where I was going. I knew he wanted to ask me what I
Chapter 193Chloe’s pov. I walked into Bryan's office, as he had called for me earlier. I didn't know what he wanted to say to me, but I had to see him. I inhaled loudly before pushing the door to his office open. Our faces met, and that's when I realized I hadn't knocked before entering his office.He raised an eyebrow before dropping the phone in his hand on the table. "We seem so close now that you even forget to knock on the door," he smirked devilishly, and I swallowed hard."I'm sorry," I bowed my head down, and he nodded twice."Come have this," he said, handing me a drawing paper. I walked closer, collecting the paper from him, and my mouth fell open in awe, staring at the design on it."These are so beautiful," I complimented, my eyes still lingering on the paper. It was a design of various suits, and it was colored like it had been brought to life."Of course, they would be beautiful. I worked on them," he said proudly, and I scoffed."What am I supposed to do with the desi
Chapter 194 Author’s POV. Grandma Terry and Grandpa Terry were busily preparing for their trip to Switzerland to visit their first son. May was helping them pack their clothes into boxes. As they worked, Grandma Terry turned to May with a serious expression. "May, before we leave, I want you to find a way to apologize to Ryan. What you did was terrible, and you need to make things right," Grandma Terry said, her voice firm but loving. May's face scrunched up in discomfort, knowing that what grandmother Terry said was right. She had been too greedy and selfish. "And don't forget to apologize to Bryan and Chloe too,“ Grandpa Terry chimed in. "I'll do it later, I promise ."May nodded reluctantly. Grandma Terry stood up and wrapped her arms around May in a warm hug. "I want you to know that you are loved, no matter what. We love you so much, and we want you to be happy." May's eyes welled up with tears as she nodded, feeling a mix of emotions. "How did you know, Grandma? That
Chapter 195Chloe’s POV. We all surrounded the white table while Bryan cut out the piece of cloth, the one they had ordered for mating. I had asked Bryan countless times who the cloth belonged to, but he had told me the owner wanted to keep their identity secret. I had stopped asking, not wanting to come across as clingy. Time had already flown by, and it was getting darker, but we were determined to cut out the cloth before heading home.My heart raced with the thought of my mom's burial anniversary coming up. I was torn between attending and staying away, not wanting to cause a scene knowing I wasn't appreciated in the family. Even though I knew going there was the best option, I still felt uncertain. My mind was a jumble of emotions, thoughts swirling around like a vortex, making it hard to focus on the task at hand.Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder, jolting me awake from my deep thoughts. I wiggled my head and straightened up my neck, then realized it was Emma. I shifted my
Chapter 196 Author’s POV. Alpha Jax was in his domain, his eyes blazing fire. His body was getting better, and he could now walk without stress, but sometimes he felt a lingering pain. He had tried his best to find Chloe, but to no avail. Just yesterday, his new beta had told him he saw someone who looked exactly like Ryan. Alpha Jax didn't want to believe it, thinking maybe his beta didn't know Ryan well enough. But his beta had known Ryan for a long time, since they lived in the same pack. His mind raced with how to confirm if what his beta said was true. He thought about sending his beta to gather more information, but he was afraid of putting him in danger. He knew the alpha of MayHill pack, Liam, was ruthless and wouldn't hesitate to hurt anyone who got in his way. Jax paced back and forth in his room, trying to come up with a plan. He wanted to go to MayHill pack himself, but couldn't, since the alpha had banished His man with a warning: "If I see you again, I'll slit your
Chapter 197Chloe’s POV. As I got dressed for work, Lucy was still fast asleep. I considered waking her up, but she seemed distant lately, and I wasn't sure how to approach her. recently, she had been cold and distant. I didn't know what was bothering her, and I didn't know how to bridge the gap that had grown between us. I sighed and decided to let her sleep, hoping that she would come around eventually.My mind wandered back to the previous day when Bryan shared the painful story behind his phobia. He had confided in me about the traumatic experience in high school, where he lost his best friend to bullying. The memory of his tears and his vulnerability still lingered in my mind. I felt a pang of empathy for him, remembering how he had opened up to me, trusting me with his secret. I finished applying my makeup, my thoughts still on Bryan and his story.I walked over to Lucy on the bed and gently tapped her shoulder twice. She opened her eyes slowly. “I’m going to shop now,” I said
Chapter 198Chloe’s pov. After the kiss with Bryan, I hadn’t gotten myself together yet. I couldn’t get the reason why he kissed me out of my head. I was on the machine, joining the last pieces of the last cloth, but my mind wasn’t there. My mind was still reeling from what Bryan said earlier. I asked him why he had kissed me, and he told me he loved me, which I couldn’t believe. He always scolded me, always showing me his wrath, so why would he claim to love me?Someone tapped my shoulder, and I mistakenly set my hands on the needles, causing them to match and throw my fingers into a bloody mess. I screamed on seeing it, my body shaking as I used my second hand to hold the hand with the needles stuck in it.“What the heck!” Jake screamed, running towards me and holding my hands to take a proper look. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. I just wanted to notify you that you’re making a mistake with your sewing.” Sarah covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock. My eyes darted
Chapter 199 Chloe’s pov. As I watched, Liam walked into the store with Luke by his side, a bright smile spreading across his face. I tried to speak, but my voice caught in my throat. Bryan emerged from his office, a look of excitement on his face."Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to our special guest," Bryan announced, his eyes shining with pride. "Liam, the owner of the very cloth we're standing on!."My eyes widened in shock as Liam greeted us, his eyes locking onto mine with a hint of familiarity. Bryan ushered him into his office, leaving me stunned and confused.Sarah turned to me, her voice low. "do you know who he is?" she asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.I shook my head, still trying to process what was happening. How could Liam be the owner of the cloth? I had no idea.Emma chimed in, her eyes curious. "Where did you know him from?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. How could I explain my connection with Liam? I d
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
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 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
