Chloe's POV

Lying 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. 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

    Liam’s POV. The journey was incredibly tiring. After searching half of the city, we finally decided to head to a hotel on the street as night approached.The hotel wasn't as big as the ones we've been staying at, but it was still pretty spacious compared to some others.I led my crew into the hotel and we went straight to the attendant to book our rooms.We each got our own room and settled in for the night.It's frustrating and confusing that we still haven't found Chloe. We've searched almost everywhere in the city, but she's nowhere to be found.I know I don't have the exact location she's in, but since she left MayHill with nothing, she shouldn't have gone too far from home. Without much with her, she's likely relying on the kindness of others.My mind is restless, and I won't be able to relax until I see her.As I made my way to the room I booked, I heard a noise coming from another room. It's strange that the hotel manager hasn't addressed it yet. If the noise continues, it's g

    Liam’s POV. "I'm here to take her with me," I declared, watching the shock on everyone's faces.Looking around, I noticed the intense gazes on me, especially from my crew, whose mouths were wide open. It's unusual for me to get involved in matters that don't concern me, but this time, I felt compelled to act.As I gazed at the girl, a stranger to me, tears streaming down her face, a pang of guilt hit me. I couldn't shake the feeling of regret for sending her away yesterday, even after her desperate pleas for help.Swiftly, I pulled her close to stand by my side, signaling to my crew to keep their distance. Causing a scene here could attract unwanted attention from the police, and that's the last thing I want.“What are you doing?” the guy who had taken the girl away the night before demanded, his face showing a mix of anger and concern."I said I'm taking her with me, do I need to repeat myself for you to understand a simple sentence?" I retorted with a smirk, noticing murmurs starti

    Chloe’s POV. The moon embraced my eyes, and as I swiftly opened them, I gazed at the already white sky, stretching my body lazily. Flickering my eyes repeatedly. I know I slept late, and that's why I woke up late. I wonder why I slept late, and that's when my mind drifts back to the feverish kiss Alpha Jax shared with me and I quickly sat on the bed. I close my mouth, feeling my cheeks redden as I remember the passionate kiss. The moment our hot breath collided forming a room for spectacles The way his tongue did justice to my mouth, how his soft hand squeezed my ass gently using it to generate a moan from me, the gentle moan coming out from his mouth when I reciprocated the kiss.I must say, this was my first kiss, and I enjoyed it. I wish for more of it. If not for Ryan, who had cleared his throat, distracting us yesterday, maybe it would've led to something even steamier.I slap my head at the thought of making something steamy. I should've been lucky Ryan intervened. If Alpha J

    Chloe’s POV. I stood like a statue while trying to figure out what to do. Yeah, we kissed yesterday, so why am I making a simple hug such a big deal?I lifted my hand, ready to return the hug, but then he let go, and my hands fell back.My gaze could only scan the floor, my cheeks kind of red and shy.I felt his finger raise my head up, and our eyes met. He stared at me intensely, as if he was trying to devour me.He used his left hand to support my waist, pulling me closer as we exchanged breath through our noses before leaving me and walking to the stool."I'm taking you somewhere," he said, grabbing his car key from the stool and starting to lead me out.I wondered where he was taking me. I just hoped it would be somewhere I'd appreciate, not the other way around.He held my hand as we walked out, with different eyes on us, but he didn't care, and neither did I. I knew nobody would dare make a sound at that moment.We went to the parking lot, and I stood staring in awe. I never ex

I knew he would be wondering what was going on, but I preferred this to letting Liam see me.He walked beside us, his footsteps halting, making my body shake nervously as I held Jax even tighter."Did he see me?" my mind raced, sweat dripping from my body. “Please go, please” hot sweat formed out of my body as I pleaded inwardly. I noticed Alpha Jax's hand trying to lift my face to meet his gaze, but my grip tightened, I won't let him go until Liam evict the scene, I'm not ready to be catch. I heard Liam leave and waited for several minutes before lifting my head from Jax's chest and looking into his eyes."What's gotten into you?" he asked, holding my arms.

Despite enjoying the moment, I didn't want to feel powerless. “If you want me to stop, I will,” he offered. But I didn't want him to stop. This was my first time experiencing such a passionate moment, and I was glad it was with Ajax. I didn't want it to end.Without saying a word, I closed my eyes tightly, mustering my courage, and our lips met once more.

When I opened my eyes, he was already standing, carrying me effortlessly with my arms around his neck.He guided us closer to the bed, gently lowering me onto it.

    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.
