Chapter Seventeen - Bribe

Tori's POV

Samantha waited until breakfast was ready and Candy refused to leave my side for once. I could not help but think deep about her dream, she said something bad was going to happen to me. Everything seemed suddenly suspicious, especially with Samantha's arrival. I needed to be very careful around her.

I watched Bill munch on his food, the girls did the same but Samantha and Bill's mother refused to even take a single bite out of the pancakes.

"Mother, do you not like pancakes or would you love me to prepare something else for you?" I asked calmly. I wondered why I still tried to get on Bill's mother's good side. After all, she was clearly not interested in me and wanted Samantha to remain as Bill's wife. Why then was i bothering myself in impressing her?

"No, your food does not smell nice at all. I can bet it does not taste nice too." Bill's mother scoffed, her arms folded and her head up high. She had so much pride that it made me thank the Moon Go

    Chapter Eighteen - Bad GuyTori's POVI stepped into the kitchen hastily and yelled "What was that all about?" My loud voice startled Talia and Samantha. They jerked in fear and turned their heads towards my direction. Samantha adjusted her posture and moved away from Talia, I watched the frightened look on her face change into one of disdain."I asked a question. I said what is going on here? What was that all about?" I repeated with both of my hands on my waist. I was not going to leave until Samantha gave an explanation."What did you see?" Samantha sneered at me. I scoffed in response and shook my head at her while Talia stood awkwardly. "Are you asking me if I saw you hand Talia a huge amount of money? If yes, then of course I saw all of that." I said firmly. I heard a gasp escape from Talia's mouth as she staggered backward. That proved my suspicion, something was definetly off if Talia was that afraid."How about you start minding your own business Tori? Why would you spy on

I felt uncomfortable and i just wanted to leave the kitchen.Bill cleared his throat and walked towards me. He placed his hands over my shoulder and smiled. "I guess Tori just misunderstood the whole situation. She was just being cautious." Samantha wanted to say something but Bill interrupted her, his eyes narrowed towards Talia's direction and he said "As for you Talia, next time when you need to lend money. You should come to me instead and not to Samantha. I hired you so you should come to me." He said in a stern voice.Talia nodded her head and muttered an apology."Come on." Bill whispered into my ears. He pulled me by the wrist and just as we were about to leave the kitchen. Bill's mother's harsh voice caused us to halt in our step

    Chapter Twenty - PainTori's POVI clutched my stomach tight and groaned in agony. The piercing pain made me grit my teeth. Even with the cool breeze coming from the fan, sweat still dripped from my foreheadMy eyesight became blurry and head ached. What sort of pain was this? I was able to sleep well last night after my discussion with Bill and the tea helped calm my mind but as early as 6am, I woke up with an excruciating pain. I could not comprehend why I was feeling such pain."Come on Tori, we need to go to the hospital. You do not look good at all." Bill said, his voice was shaky and his breathing became hitched. He sounded afraid and so was I."I can barely move Bill. I feel really weak and I do not want the girls to see me like this." I managed to say, I paused to wince in pain. As I continued to speak, I felt pain wash over me. "The girls are still in their room. I will not let them know about it so please allow me take you to the hospital. It is for your own good Tori."

    Chapter Twenty One - The Threat Bill's POVMy heart raced extremely fast as I watched Tori shut her eyes close. She looked weak and drowsy. A drop of sweat dropped from my forehead. "Doctor!" I yelled. The doctor rushed into the room immediately with a concerned look on her face. She used a stethoscope to check Tori's heartbeat. After a few minutes, she turned me to me and sighed in relief. "She is still breathing but that does not mean she has much time left with her." I muttered a cuss under my breath and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Why was all of this happening to Tori all of a sudden. "What can be done doctor? Please you need to save her." I said with pleading eyes.The doctor placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it tight. "I already told you Mr Bill. She was poisoned by a rare substance and we have not been able to find a remedy yet. We have never experienced such before." The doctor said.His words made my heart race faster. I was not ready to lose Tori. A

She flared up immediately and it made me eye her suspiciously. Something had to be up for her reaction to be that way.I was going to get to the root of this. Tori had already suffered enough in the past with her ex husband. I was not going to allow my mother do more harm to her."That was the same thing Tori did to me when we are in the kitchen. She accused me of bribing Talia and now you are accusing us of harming Tori! Why Bill?" This time it was Samantha that spoke. She sounded disappointed and honestly, it did not bother me. There was so much reasons to point fingers at her and my mother."To begin with, you both never liked her. You made her life completely hell yet you expect me not to accuse you both and fall for your sudden care for Tori? No way." I spat out bitterly. My anger came from the frustration that Tori was not g

I scoffed and shook my head in disagreement. "I feel a lot more better, I swear. You know I need to attend to work urgently. Look at how much investments Dante put into this business Bill, I do not want to disappoint him." I said with a stern look. I hoped Bill would consider this. I did feel better, Millie's magical hands had performed well on me. Although I was slightly hungry so while Bill was contemplating about letting me stay at the hospital or not, I flashed him a wide grin and said "You can cook me some food when we get home."

    Chapter Twenty Five - The Suspense Samantha's POVI sat down with Regina on the couch in the living room. She was laughing at something on the TV screen but I could barely focus on what displayed on the screen, I guess it was because I was mostly concerned about what Bill would think of me.He had seen Tori's daughters crying in my presence. I was worried that Bill would find out that I was the one who hit them. I could not stand them except for Candy, she was the only one who had a sense of reasoning. The two other girls irritated me."Samantha, what are you thinking about? We have won this battle already. Talia played her part well by poisoning Tori." Regina blurted out.My eyes widened, I immediately cautioned her to keep quiet. "Shush, what if someone is hiding somewhere and listening to our conversation? We would be in big trouble if Bill happened to find out." I said, I was slightly afraid that Talia would eventually confess.She was nothing like me, Talia was innocent. I only

I ordered and the guard nodded his head hastily.Louis gazed at me with a concerned look on his face. "Why are we locking mummy up? I know you both are not on good terms but I do not think it is a good idea to lock mummy up." Louis said. I only laughed in response. If only he understood everything around him, locking his mother up would be the least of his worries."I have this under control son. Just trust me." I said, with an evil smirkplaying on my lips. I took Louis to the shrine where the sacrifice would be conducted. The priestess asked me to leave Louis behind as she had to be the only one with him.Louis had a look of fear written on his face

The elders were on my neck, everything was choking and it was all thanks to that stupid woman, Riley who refused to let me use Louis, our son to perform the sacrifice that would save the pack.I sighed in frustration as the elders have started their bickering again.Elders Thomas rose to his feet and yelled loudly. "The land has slowly become infested with creatures that I have never seen in my life. Last night while I was taking my usual walk, I saw something big crawl out of the woods."

He used to be my husband until we got a divorce of recents." She blurted out. I turned around to gaze at her with my eyes wide open in shock. "Are you serious?" I muttered. Gracie nodded her head in agreement. She looked so hurt while talking about it, almost too hurt that I could tell that her and Dante had not ended things on good terms. It was obvious. "I am so sorry about that. My husband, well boyfriend anyways. We both got into a fight recently and I think I understand how you feel to be separated from someone you love. I am so sorry." I said.

    Chapter Fifty Two - Identity RevealTori's POVI spent the entire night crying my eyes out and once it was 5am, I was already up cooking for the girls. I realized that the only way I could stop thinking about Bill was if I occupied myself with something to do. That way time would pass so fast without me having to think about him. It was a coping mechanism and frankly speaking, it was good for me. After packing up their lunches, I set the table for breakfast, the girls had already finished showering. "That smells nice mummy!" Sienna yelled as she scurried towards the direction of the dining table. "I know right!" Candy agreed, racing her there.The both of them sat on the table, I excused myself to brush my teeth and surprisingly I met Millie sitting on the bed in the room as if she was waiting for me. I rushed towards her with a racing heart and a concerned look on my face. "My princess, are you okay?" I asked in a soft tone.Millie sighed heavily and she flashed me a look of pity. "

I felt empty without Bill, I was so used to him that I had not even realized it until now.I guess it was because Bill and I basically did everything with each other. After the girls, he was the next person I loved wholeheartedly. I thought I had finally found love after everything Alpha Victor had done to me but fate just had to kick in, Bill and I just had to separate in the worse way ever.Eventually, the tears rolled down my cheeks. I allowed them flow but I bit my lower lip to stop myself from making any sobbing noise. The last thing I wanted to do was get the girls worried about me. They already seemed drained from I and Bill's seperation. If they knew that their mother was hurting, it would only make things worse.I sighed heavily and just as I was about to shut my eyes close.

Tori was right though, all those while she had been fighting for our love yet I had not made any efforts at putting Samantha in her place. Now I was more than motivated to do so.I tucked my hands into my pocket and brought out the ring box. I gazed at it wi a sad smile.

I made sure to add some of their toys in the room, just to make everywhere look like home to them. I sighed heavily as I took a glance around everywhere. The room was cozy, there was a queen sized bed by the corner of the room. One that would be comfortable enough for I and the girls. It was time to pick the girls from school. I left the hotel and drove to their school, I felt better than this morning. Although I could still feel this emptiness in me but this time it was a lot more easier to overlook things.I stood in the large school compound as I watched the girls rush towards my direction. I felt anxious on how to break the news to them. How were they going to feel knowing that they would no longer be staying with Bill for a while. At least for a long while until I am able to clear my head."Mummy

If Samantha had never showed me that image, I could not help but wonder if Bill would have opened up to me by himself? Would he have confessed? Or would he have kept it a secret?I sighed heavily as Millie's voice jolted me out of my thoughts and back to reality. "Why are you not driving mum? We are going to be late for school." She said pausing to take a bite out of her burger. I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Why was I letting my own emotional pain affect the girls?"Sorry girls. I am just slightly tired.
