Chloe’s POV. As I took a step, a sound echoed in my heart. It was like a mix of excitement, nervousness, and a hint of fear. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, almost as if it wanted to burst out. the maids passed by, their voices blending together into a distant hum. I could see their lips moving, but their words didn't reach my ears. It was as if I was in my own little bubble, lost in a sea of thoughts and emotions.Ryan suddenly stop walking, lost in my thought I was unable to notice that until my head accidentally bumped on his back, The pain shot through my skull, but I couldn't even let out a groan. It was as if my body was mirroring the inner struggle I was going through. The physical pain was nothing compared to the turmoil within me.When Ryan turned to me, his eyes bore into mine with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. It was as if he could see right through me, unraveling the chaos that was swirling within my mind. And in that moment, he asked me “why
Chloe’s POV. As I followed the maid to the bathroom, my mind was racing with a million thoughts, swirling and colliding like a storm inside my head. I couldn't help but wonder why I was able to speak in front of Alpha Jax when just moments ago, I couldn't even open my mouth to utter a single word to Ryan. It was like my voice had been stolen from me. But then, when I found myself in the presence of Jax, everything changed. I could talk, I could scream, and my voice echoed through the air. It was as if a dormant part of me had awakened, breaking free from the shackles that had silenced me before.I couldn't help but think back to the first time I had the dream, the dream that seemed to hold the key to this enigma. I remember desperately trying to speak to Alpha Jax about it, to share my fears and seek guidance. But my voice failed me, leaving me voiceless and frustrated. It was a moment of helplessness, a feeling of being trapped within my own thoughts.And now, as I stood on the pre
Chloe’s POV.I stood there, my mind still racing with thoughts about what Lia had said. What did she mean by "don't come back home wet"? And what was she referring to when she mentioned Alpha Jax? And what did she mean by "set up"? It felt like a puzzle that I couldn't quite solve.Lost in my thoughts, I walked out of the bathroom and suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. Startled, I turned around to see Alpha Jax standing right beside me. My heart skipped a beat, I wasn't expecting him to be there, and the sight of him made me stumble and land on my butt."What's wrong with you?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. I quickly shook my head, trying to regain my composure."Nothing, I'm just startled," I replied, my voice a bit shaky. I could feel my face turning red, embarrassed by my clumsy reaction to his presence. I couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and curiosity as he smiled lightly and stretched his hand toward me. I raised my eyebrows, my mind struggling to comprehen
Chloe’s POV With a flick of my hand, I opened the door, and my eyes widened almost to the point of popping out of their sockets when I saw Lia standing before me. "What are you doing here again?" I blurted out, unable to contain my surprise. Instead of answering, she swiftly pushed me inside, causing my heart to skip a beat.As I stumbled backward, my mind raced to make sense of Lia's unexpected presence. Was she here to offer answers or add to the growing pile of questions in my mind? The room suddenly felt smaller, the air thick with anticipation and uncertainty. I searched her eyes for any hint of an explanation, but they remained enigmatic, like a locked door refusing to reveal its secrets.My pulse quickened as Lia closed the door behind her, enveloping us in a cocoon of secrecy. I could feel the weight of the unknown pressing down on me, suffocating my thoughts. It was as if the room held its breath, waiting for the truth to unravel.With a mix of apprehension and curiosity, I
Chloe’s POV"I've heard everything you said, but I'm not interested. I'm not ready to cooperate," I said firmly, standing up from the bed and pushing Lia away. The weight of the situation hung heavily in the air, and I needed some space to process everything that had been said.Lia seemed taken aback, her eyes widening with surprise. It was clear she wasn't expecting such a strong reaction from me. But I couldn't help it. The thought of aligning myself with her, someone I merely know, was just too much for me to handle.As I pushed her towards the door, a mix of fear and confusion swirled inside me. I wasn't sure what would happen next, but I knew I needed to distance myself from Lia and the whole situation. I opened the door, expecting to see an empty hallway, but instead, I was met with a sight that sent chills down my spine.There, standing at the door, was Alpha Jax himself. His eyes, usually filled with a dangerous intensity, were now fixed on me. I could feel his gaze piercing t
Chloe’s POV "What are you discussing with that girl?" he inquired, and I couldn't help but wonder who he was referring to. Had he been watching me? My mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle of his knowledge. Or perhaps, he was asking about May? "Who is that?" I asked, my voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern. I needed confirmation, a reassurance that my suspicions were correct. "The girl I met in your room," he replied, his words hitting me like a ton of bricks. It was then that I realized he was talking about Lia truly, My heart sank as a wave of emotions flooded over me.I tried to play it cool, masking my true feelings behind a nonchalant facade. "Nothing, just this and that, it is nothing necessary," I said, my voice betraying a hint of hesitation. The truth was that, I didn't know if I could trust him anymore. If he was still the Alpha Jax I knew before, I would have opened up to him by now. But the Jax sitting beside me right now was confusing, leaving me
Chapter 77Liam’s POVAs I sat there, my eyes fixated on the laptop screen, every word exchanged between Chloe and Lia seemed to seep into my very being. The intensity of their conversations was palpable, and I couldn't help but be drawn into their world.Chloe, she had become so stubborn, more than I could have ever imagined. It was as if she had built an impenetrable fortress around her thoughts and emotions. But Lia, was relentless in her pursuit to change Chloe's mind.What struck me the most was Lia's unwavering determination to keep me in the loop. she would take a moment to explain the intricacies of her interactions with Chloe. Lia had this nagging feeling that Jax, harbored some sinister intentions towards Chloe. Her self-esteem couldn't shake off the sense that danger was lurking nearby. And when Lia stormed out of Chloe's room, she left me with a cryptic warning. Tonight, she said, something might unfold, something that demanded my preparedness.I couldn't help but question
Liam’s pov. As I sat there, the shock from the encounter still lingering in my bones, I couldn't help but stare at the man in front of me. My mind was racing, trying to come up with the right words to say. Who had employed me? It was a question that weighed heavily on my mind, and I had no idea how to approach it. I felt completely clueless about the people in this mall, let alone who had hired me.But then, to my surprise, the man spoke up again. "Anyway, go and stay at that place, I will prepare their food," he said, finalizing his decision. A wave of relief washed over me, grateful that he had taken back his previous words. If he hadn't, I didn't even want to think about what could have happened.I followed his instructions and made my way to the designated seating area. As I sat down on the bench, my mind couldn't help but drift back to Chloe. I could still see the shock and disbelief on her face when she saw me. I knew she wasn't expecting me, and I imagined that a thousand ques
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
