Chloe’s POV. I held my cheeks in astonishment, my heart racing as doubt flooded my mind. How could a stranger I had just met today have the audacity to slap me? I could feel the weight of everyone's gaze on me, their eyes filled with curiosity and shock. I shifted my attention back to Liam, hoping to find some solace in his expression, but all I saw was regret etched across his face.Anger surged through my veins as I locked eyes with the lady who had slapped me. Her face held a twisted sense of satisfaction, as if slapping me had been some kind of twisted amusement. Without wasting a single second, fueled by a surge of adrenaline, I retaliated. My hand connected with her cheek in a resounding slap, sending her stumbling backwards until she crashed onto the floor.A collective gasp echoed through the room, a symphony of surprise and disbelief."Maria!" Liam's voice pierced through the chaos. , rushing towards the girl who had just assaulted me. I couldn't help but smirk, my eyes narr
Chloe's POV My lips parted and I stared at Liam in shock. I couldn't believe that he was the one who was saying such words to me Why is he approaching me to apologize and why did he want to have my sincerity when he already has my sister? I wondered if this was a scheme or some sort of revenge from Liam The thought had pushed me to tell Liam to prove his sincerity. Thinking about it, will he? We have nothing between us anymore, right? Liam tried to grab my hand but I quickly placed my hand behind me, evading Liam’s touch. His eyes dimmed immediately and he pressed his lips together Back in the restaurant, if Liam had tried to hold my hand and support me, I’d never have evaded his touch. We would never have been in such a position but he had chosen to call out her name. The thought made my heart clench with pain Liam continued to stare at me with sadness in his eyes At that moment I had the thought that Liam won't continue his explanation so I turned my back to him and atte
Chloe's POVMy mind raced chaotically due to fear and shock. I gulped down, wondering what Jax was doing here. Why is he here? Jax’s expression was blank, making me unable to know what he was thinking. He began to make his way toward me, causing me to break into sweats due to fear. I knew he would smell my fear, and it made me displeased.I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist to snap out of my fear Seeing Jax calmly approach me with Ryan behind him, I glared at Jax coldly Jax stopped in front of me. He stretched his hand and grabbed my chin with his hand and his eyes began to trace my features. His hand kept turning my face from the left to the right I trembled and broke into sweat immediately. My heartbeat increased and I could feel my sweat trickling through my body I bit my lower lip to regain my clarity knowing I couldn’t keep being this way. I gritted my teeth and glared at Jax coldly“Jax, What are you doing? Why are you here? Let me go right now.” I scowled at him ang
Liam’s POV Somehow, the sadness in Chloe’s eyes stabbed my heart deeply. I knew I had let my greed overwhelm me so much it had hurt Chloe Before I could even restrain my emotions, I found myself chasing after Chloe. My mind kept wandering as I took to my race. I knew I was guilty for not supporting Chloe back in the hospital but I had my reasons. Only if Chloe had tried to listen to my words, how good would it be? However, I knew I had hurt Chloe a lot and it’s no guess why she didn’t want to hear my sentence Finally I got to the hospital, I ran my hand through my hair and sighed deeply. I didn’t even know when I lost Chloe but I'm sure she would be inside the hospital. I had the impulse to smack myself due to anger. However, I hurriedly pushed my chaotic thoughts away The most important thing to do now is to find ChloeI began to make my way around the hospital. Since Chloe is an occasional of the hospital like me, I decided to ask one of the staff around if they had seen h
Chloe’s POV I was so caught up in everything that was happening that I couldn’t even blink an eyeWas Liam following me, how did he know I was in the hospital? Seeing Liam continue to throw slaps and punch at Jax, my expression turned grim and my heart began to race. Firsthandedly experiencing how ruthlessly Jax could be, I had the premonition that he’ll never let things go without his form of revenge And when I heard Jax’s threat, my heart couldn’t help but skip a beat with shock and fear. I knew Jax would do something in retaliation, but I didn’t expect it to be a threat to Lia’s life. How dare he?The thoughts made my stomach churn and my heart sped, I could sense a headache creeping in.My fist clenched tightly. How did Jax know Lia was admitted to the hospital?Although I tried to calm down, Jax’s blatant threat made me unable to. My face paled and my lips quivered, “How? How did you know?” Although I tried to ask calmly, my voice ended up in a stutter Jax smirked wicked
Chloe’s Pov. Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to decide which path to follow. It was a difficult choice, one that even my inner wolf found hard to make. I turned my gaze towards Liam, hoping to find some clarity in his eyes, but all I saw was confusion.Then, my eyes shifted to Jax, and he had that same determined look he always had when he made a decision. "Can't you just change your mind?" I pleaded, desperately hoping for a different outcome. Maybe he could reconsider or have a change of heart."I'm sorry, but I have to make you mine. Only you can ease me," he said with a mysterious glint in his eyes. His words sent shivers down my spine, and tears welled up even more. He had made up his mind, and there was no turning back."I... I..." I tried to speak, but all that came out were stammered words. The weight of the situation was overwhelming, and I struggled to find my voice.Liam, sensing my distress, reached out to touch my hand. "You don't have to follow him. I promise
Chloe’s POV. My heart raced as we drove home in silence, the weight of Jax's words echoing in my mind. "You are my sex slave." The sting of those words cut deep, leaving me feeling vulnerable and unsure of what to do next.As we entered the house, Jax's eyes remained fixed on my body, a subtle smirk playing on his lips. I longed to retreat into solitude, to escape the thoughts swirling in my head, but it felt impossible. The familiar faces of the maids seemed to taunt me, their whispers echoing in my ears, amplifying my unease."Come to my room," Jax commanded, his voice filled with a mix of desire and dominance."I don't want to," I replied defiantly, hoping that my words would hold some weight.But in an instant, Jax's hand gripped mine tightly, forcefully pulling me towards his room. The door closed behind us, sealing us off from the outside world. My back pressed against the door, leaving me trapped in the middle, while Jax stood before me, his arms outstretched on either side of
Liam’s POV. He sucked my breast for something that felt eternity tasting all the bite of it sending a shockwave through my whole body. His mouth cupped the whole length of my breast. Gasping a moan from me. I heard him smirk. A smirk that felt as if he had gained the upper hand. I let my body soft, ignoring the desire and the soft moan that was supposed to escalate from my mouth. He raised my body letting go of my breast but his hand was still rolling on my nipple and that only added cliffhangers to my whole being. These feelings that I can’t even deny Even in this kind of sad situation. "You like it?" he asked, his voice filled with a mixture of curiosity and confidence. Instead of responding verbally, I chose to show my hesitation by averting my gaze. His smirk deepened, a silent acknowledgment of the effect he had on me.In one swift motion, he scooped me up in his arms, effortlessly holding me in a bridal-style embrace. I instinctively wrapped my hands around his strong neck,
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.
