Chloe’s POVI open my hefty eyes, my gaze scouring the room. Everywhere was opaque and that only sent shivers down my spine believing the angel had later blown the trumpet. I sat up and at that moment I felt a sharp pain on my waist snatching a loud groan from me, I held where I felt the pain massaging it slowly with my fingers. It was so painful but I had to do it. After spending some minutes massaging myself, I tried to stand up, I had no idea where I was, I just hoped it was not heaven. One of my feet touched the floor and I felt light pain running through my lap vein. I put my second leg on the floor and then, the light blew on revealing Alpha Jax. We both exchange a glance before he hurriedly turns off the light again. I wonder why he turned off the light without making a sentence, I was not even given the chance to check through the room And see where I was. I heard him clearing his throat as if he wanted to declare something and I made my ear wide. “Can you cover your

He walked to me and surprisedly, his hand grabbed my waist making my eyes go wide threefold. “You can go,” he said to May and i watched her storming out of the room banging the door hardly “What are you doing?” I asked and he smirked naughtily “Holding your tiny waist,” he said lustfully and I felt my pant shift, I broke the gaze between me and him, my eyes moving to the other side but he used his index fingers to raise my head and our gaze met again. Like a posses Sharmaq, his head started hauling close to mine as if he wanted to land me a kiss. I felt it was just a prank until his lips Left an inch from mine and my heart lifted up more than normal. I quickly changed direction of my head to the side and his lips landed on my cheeks and I flushed. I eyed him widen his eyes and quickly released me from his embrace and my butt whack on bed, if not that we are close to the bed I would’ve hit my ass on the floor, the hasty scene snatched a loud wail from me, clasping m

The next morning, the sun shone through the window and lit my face, my hands rolled around the bed and it felt so adherent, I shifted slowly resting on my right flank, I opened my eyes swiftly and it emerged on Alpha Jax. His eyes were still sealed sleeping peacefully, my eyes traced down to his features, his set eyes brown, his shining lip, everything about him was fascinating. I don’t know why but suddenly, his pink lips look so admirable and it seeking my lips. My hand gently strolls toward his face, steering to his lips and I gently care for it, it’s so soft and it will surely taste yummy in my mouth. Maybe I was posses or I was doing it willingly, my head moved closer to his, my eyes remedied on his lips, his hot breath mixed with mine and I felt so raptured at that moment, my lips leaving an inch between his and that instant his eyes blew open and it met with mine. My cheeks turned red and the butterflies in me took a race, I quickly moved back, avoiding makin
Chloe’s POV. I rush to my room, my heart filled with fear. The maid's words have left a deep mark on me. Who could have made a video of me? It's hard to comprehend why people choose to be so wicked towards me. Was I not born into this world to live a peaceful life? Why must I face challenges every single day?I left my pack behind in search of a better life, only to find myself encountering enemies once again. It's exhausting, and all I want is a life filled with tranquility. I yearn for a life without boundaries.Reaching my door, I use my legs and feet to push it open, and it swings wide. Stepping inside, a familiar scent fills my nostrils. I take a deep breath, savoring the familiarity before making my way to the bed and sitting down.Everything in my life feels so tangled.

I miss her dearly, and I wish she could still be happy an
Mendy’s POV. I stood in front of my closet, carefully selecting my clothes and laying them on the bed. Today, I'm determined to find Liam, and nothing will stand in my way. I've been pretending everything is fine, but I can't keep up the act anymore.It's been six days since Liam left in search of Chloe, and I haven't heard from him. I've called him, but he refuses to answer. The one time he did pick up, he threatened me and said he'd never answer my calls again.I won't let anyone take Liam away from me. He'll always be the one I love, and if I have to go after him to win him back, I'm ready to do whatever it takes. Nothing can stop me.I carefully choose the essential clothes for my journey and place them on the bed before closing my closet. As I fold my clothes into my bag and zip it up, I start planning the route in my mind.

Chloe's POVLying flat in my room, my gaze fixed on the ceiling, I had a terrible dream about my grandmother passing away. I know dreams can be silly, and I hope this one was just as foolish.I long to see my grandmother again, to witness her bright smile and wrinkled face, to hear her soothing voice that brings comfort when I'm feeling down. I want to see the joy on her face when she sees me again. I don't want to lose her now, she means the world to me.The darkness has engulfed the sky, and the moon has embraced it. The stars twinkle, forming a beautiful pattern like a red rose on a white bed. I happily breathe in the breeze coming through the window.I rise to my feet and walk towards the window, using my right hand to push the curtains aside, revealing a breathtaking night view. The city's houses illuminate the darkness with their unique colors, and the sounds of cars, footsteps, and bicycles create a harmonious rhythm. The wind tousles my hair, and I close my eyes, letting the e
Chloe’s POV. Ryan walked right through the midst of the maids, and they all made way for him to come stand in front of me. He announced loudly that Alpha Jax requested me to sit beside him. I was shocked, my eyes widening as I looked at him. He had a gentle smile on his face.The maids started murmuring amongst themselves, but I didn't really care. Ryan moved to the side, giving me the chance to walk in front of him. I couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness and excitement. It felt like a dream come true.I took quick steps, walking towards where Alpha Jax was sitting. My eyes never left his side, and both Our eyes were locked on each other. It was like a fairytale moment, and I couldn't believe that a day like this could turn into something so amazing. I had always wondered how I would stand before him, and now I was walking towards him like a princess.All the eyes in the retribution room were on me. I knew that some of them might be irritated, given my past experiences in this
Chloe’s POV. My heart thumped a hundred miles. How could you steal something and still have the audacity to look for it? It sounds absurd, but I don't want to be the type to judge without listening.I watched as Miss Ann crawled to the front, leaving only an inch between her and Jax. Her eyeball rolled to the side, as if she was searching for what to say. Hot tears streamed down her face as she cleared her throat.My ears formed a perfect silence, and my heart aligned with the stillness in the room, eager to hear what Miss Ann had to say."The jade... the jade was gifted to me by your late wife," she spoke, but I found it hard to believe her words.Whoever would believes her word? the only person who could testify to it is Jax's late wife, who is no longer here.I shifted my gaze to Alpha Jax. He had a mix of emotions swelling on his face, as if contemplating whether to believe her or take the other route."You're not ready to open up to us, right? Tell me, how the hell am I supposed
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
Chloe’s POV The moment the words left the principal’s mouth, I froze, every part of me stiffening like I’d been struck by lightning.“Yes,” she said, “She’ll be Aria and Luis’ teacher this year. 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.
