Chapter Ten - Discomfort

Tori's POV

I halted in my steps to gaze at Millie with wide eyes. My hands were shaky and my breathing becane hitched. Her question was too sudden and it shocked me. Had Victor told them something that could warrant such a question like that from her?

"Mum, why can't we see dad?" Millie repeated in an innocent tone. She was just a child anyways. There was no possible way for her to read the room and tell that I was shocked by her question.

Victor was a complicated topic, I did not want to scare the kids. Millie still recognized him very well, even after five years. I doubted that Candy still recognized him, after all she was only just a child. Before I could say anything, Bill swooped in, saving me from the conversation.

"Hey angels. Guess what I got for you girls?" Bill exclaimed holding up the bag of toys. The girls screamed in excitement.

Millie's eyes widened and she forgot all about her question. "Ohhh, what is it!" She squealed rushing towards the dire

Where were the hotel staffs and what were they going to do about the noise Victor was causing?"I do not know." Bill replied with a serious look on his face. He got out of bed, his eyes scanning the darkness. "I am going to go out and find out what it is but you stay inside and check on the girls." Bill ordered. His tone low and menacing.And with that, he slipped out of the room, leaving me alone with the darkness, my heart pounding with fear. I rushed out of bed and scurried towards the room of my girls. Just to check on them as Bill had ordered.I pushed the door open and I noticed that the girls were still fast asleep, not even the loud thud noise was able to wake them up.I released a heavy sigh of relief and walked back to the living room. In some few minutes time, Bill arrived back, still dressed in his nightwear. He looked unharmed, I thanked the Moon Goddess a

I bet she didn't I knew about her evil plan."I don't know what you're talking about, but I did not mean to hurt you,"I stared at Riley with wide eyes. Did I hear her say she did not mean to hurt me or was that just my own imaginations? Even before I could push further with my questions, Victor stepped out of the room and stared at me with a raised brow.I gulped a lump down my throat and staggered backward. I hated Victor's presence. Without anymore hesitation, I scurried back into my room and locked the door behind me. I leaned on the wall and breathed heavily.Riley seemed different. It felt like she was pretending to feel remorseful about swapping my son. I waved off the thought as I watched the girls scurry towards me with big smiles on their faces. That was when I was reminded that I had a beautiful family already. I pulled the girls into a tight hug as they chorused in unsion "We love you mu

    Chapter Thirteen - Unexpected VisitorTori's POV My eyes narrowed slightly as I tried to place the woman standing on the porch. She looked so familiar but I could not quite recall where I had seen her. Was it her features that seemed familiar? I furrowed my brows in confusion and watched the woman raise a brow at me. Was she the new neighbour perhaps? The woman looked like she was about to say something but Bill's loud voice interrupted her. "Babe, who is at the door? Remember, we still have lot of stuffs to unpack!" "Babe." The woman scoffed and rolled her eyes at me. Why did she act so sassy? She was literally standing in front of my door yet she acted as if she owned the house."Who are you?" I questioned with a raised brow. I heard Bill's footsteps trailing closer. "I do not k----""Mum?" Bill said, his eyes widened in shock. I turned to gaze at him with an equally surprised look plastered on my face. Mum? Bill just addressed this woman as mum? Or was that just my imaginations?

Samantha is the past and I have moved forward with Tori, my future." Bill said. His hands reached for mine and he squeezed it tight. I flashed him a small smile and pretended to be okay but deep down inside of me, I felt really bad that Bill's mother saw me as a mere gold digger."Bill!" His mother snapped at him. She paused to take a sip from the glass of water. "How could you just move on? After everything that you and Samantha have been through?" His mother yelled at him.I just sat at the end of the table. My head bent low. I could barely say a word. I was speechless. Everything seemed like a nightmare that was slowly coming to pass. Just when i thought that I and Bill could finally be with each other in peace, his mother decided to show up and worse of it all was that she hated me."I am not having this discussion wi

Especially when she knew we were clearly not on good terms. I sighed heavily and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. I watched Bill's face fall. The athmosphere suddenly became tensed and everyone remained quiet."I am sorry to cause any inconveniences, I don't have anywhere else to go actually. Bill, your mother was so kind to offer a roof over my head." Samantha said. Unlike the last time where she was so rude to me, right now her tone was calm and a sad look remained plastered on her face. Was she really trying to make Bill fall for her schemes any take pity on her?"We need to talk." Bill snapped at Samantha, I caught him sneak a glance at my direction but I hastily averted my gaze elsewhere. I did not want him to notice the anger burning in my eyes, I was angry at his mother and I felt little re

I hated Tori, I hated her stinking guts and seeing Bill close to her made me want to rip her throat out. She was full of so much pride and confidence, it was disgusting."Calm down Sam." Regina, Bill's mother said. I turned to gaze at her wide eyes. Was she telling me to calm down right now? How was I supposed to be calm when Tori kept clinging to Bill."Mother, you need to act fast about this!" I snapped at her. She pointed to the empty space on the couch she was seating on and gestured me to sit close to her. I sighed heavily and joined her on the couch.Regina placed a hand on my shoulder and rubbed it gently. "You know I am on your side right?" Regina smiled at me with a reassuring smile. That was not enough, I needed something else to make sure Tori was put in her place. I mean I was happy to have Regina as an ally but I was not satisfied. I wanted more than j

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.

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 yelled for umpteenth time. "Yes mum!" Millie replied. The sound of footsteps drew closer, i snapped my head up to gaze at the culprit, assuming it was Millie. To my surprise, it was Bill instead. He sluggishly walked towards my direction and planted a small kiss on my forehead."Hi babe, you look tired. Everything okay?" I asked with a concerned look plastered on my face. His shoulders were slumped and his eyes looked tired. I knew it was work taking a toll on him but i still wanted to hear from him instead."Yeah, everything is fine.

I held a meeting with the elders of the pack immediately and this time, I invited Riley to join. At first she was confused because she assumed that i would still be angry at her for sleeping with a man in the room we shared, on our matrimonial bed. Little did she know that I held no grudge against her for that, instead I was happy that she had a son, one who would be able to heal the land.The rest of the elders joined in the chamber room for the meeting. I instructed one of the guards to lock all doors.

I do not bother to see if he had dead or not. Instead my eyes moved to Riley, she hastily wore her clothes and rose to her feet to stare at me."How dare you?" I yelled through gritted teeth. A frown grew on my face. I clenched my fist tight and held back the urge to throw her through the window too. What if she got caught by someone else that was not me? That would not only bring shame to my name but also to my title as Alpha of the pack. How could my supposed Luna cheat on me?Riley raised her hand in mock surrender and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

Starvation is increasing by the day! Something needs to be done to save the pack or else we will all die." His words humiliated me. How could he utter such word in front of me? I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist tight as I sneered "How can all of this happen to the pack when the elders exist? What are you people doing towards this misfortune!" I growled angrily.The other elders shifted at the harshness of my tone but Elder Maxwell remained still, he showed no fear at all. Instead he rose to his feet, challenging me. "It is the duty of the Alpha to cater for the needs of the pack and it is our duty to obey what you instruct us to do." He paused to clear his throat.

Somehow Bill had managed to throw me out of the house and not even Regina was able to do a single thing. I was going to plot a bigger plan, I refused to give up now. This time my target was not on Tori but on her girls except Candy.I just needed to find the school that they attended, my plan was to take them captive and kill them right before Tori and Bill can do anything.Although before I would do any of that, I needed to meet with Talia. I was afraid that she would end up telling Bill that I had poisoned Tori, that would make Bill take legal actions against me and I might end up in jail for it. That meant big trouble, that was why I needed to shut Talia's mouth as soon as possible.I rested comfortably on the armchair and my eyes roamed around the small restaurant while I impatiently waited for Talia to arrive.

I rushed towards the direction of the tears but Regina grabbed me by the wrist even before I could climb the stairs."Let him be." Regina said with a serious look on her face. I pushed her hands from my wrist and scoffed at her. Was she being serious right now? "Leave him? We need to know whether Tori is dead or not! If she is not dead then we are all in trouble!" I whisper-yelled at her."I told you to trust. How hard is it for you to do that? If you go up there and pressure him then that would only make him suspicious of us! Tori is dead and that is Bill's own way of mourning. I know my son perfectly well."

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

After Dante's influence and investments, I had been getting calls since then. A few models wanting to partner with me."Tori, you know that you need to rest." Bill scolded me with a straight face. 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.
