Chapter Fourty Nine - HealingTori's POV I decided to book an hotel somewhere far away from Bill. I was able to arrange all my clothes back in a wardrobe along with the girls' clothes. 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
CHAPTER ONE- A SURPRISE FOR TORITori’ Pov“Congratulations ma’am. You just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl,” the mid-wife announced.I groaned in agony as I struggled to sit up and look at my baby but the sharp pain that hit my belly made me give a short scream and had me falling back on the bed.“Take it easy! You just had a surgery,” the midwife said and brought my baby to me. As I looked at her innocent face, a dry smile formed on my lips but it was quickly replaced by a sad smile.My husband, Alpha Victor wouldn’t like this. This is my third daughter.The door suddenly opened and my husband barged in.“What’s the gender?” He asked impatiently, his hard face had a hint of hope and frustration.It hurt that he didn’t even ask how I was. I just had an emergency CS section to deliver my baby due to some complications.“I just had a CS, my love. At least….”“The gender!” my husband barked at the midwife who squirmed in fright, her eyes laced with fear.“It’s a girl!”“I knew it,” h
CHAPTER TWO- THE PRICE OF PAINTORIS’S POVIt felt as if my whole world was spinning and my life was a literal movie because how is there so much chaos within a few days. I clutched my tight chest as I felt my mate bond break. My wolf was howling inside of me, but I managed to keep her under control.“Wait..wait. I don’t understand,” I gave a sarcastic laugh, refusing to believe all of this is true.“I know Riley will give me a son, an heir to my pack. You’re useless to me now, so get out! My lawyer will send the divorce paperwork to you,”“Are you kidding me? Riley is literally married to my father? Does he even know about this? You impregnated a married woman! My freaking stepmom? How could you?” I asked, my anger rising as my face reddened like a tomato. I struggled to control my raging breath as I clutched the hem of my dress.“I’m divorcing your stupid father, okay? Alpha Victor and I are a better match,” she smiled and gave him a kiss on his cheek as she giggled like a little g
CHAPTER THREE- BACK AT THE HOSPITAL TORI’S POVI opened my heavy eyelids and the light in the room pierced my eyes and it hurt. I quickly shut them back but slowly opened them again.“Mummy! You’re awake?” I heard Millie’s voice. My vision was blurry but I could see her hovering over me and I gave a sad smile as I cupped her face in my hands.“Mummy is awake!” She cried happily and Candy came to join her as they both held my hands.“Where’s your sister?” I asked.The door suddenly opened and the midwife came in.“Thank goodness you’re awake. A driver brought you in along with your daughters?”I heaved a sigh of relief, feeling very grateful.“Please where’s my baby?” I asked.“We’re taking care of her. You shouldn’t have allowed yourself to get injured when your stitches have not healed. You simply got lucky!”the midwife said.Even though I was in immense pain, I was glad to be around my daughters. I was soon asked to pay the bill, but of course I didn’t have any money.My husband wa
CHAPTER FOUR- THE SHOCKING NEWSTORI’S POVI stood still, struggling to process what I just heard! The midwife is dying? Is my baby okay?The nurse pulled me and we quickly ran to where the midwife was. She lay in a room, looking like a shadow of herself. Her whole body was banged like a mommy.“Oh my God!” I gasped, wondering how the midwife that attended to me some hours ago was looking like this.“You’re probably wondering what happened but I had an accident. I know I’m goin to die soon. I can see angels already and that is why I must tell you this before I die,” she said and gave out a loud cough.“I’m listening,” I said eagerly.“The truth is, you gave birth to a boy. Miss Riley ordered me to switch the baby and kill him,”“What!” I covered my mouth in shock, as the news stung my ears and tears rolled down my eyes.“I’m so sorry, but Mrs Riley threatened me and my family, including the doctors. She even held the doctor’s daughter hostage. I couldn’t kill your baby! I wouldn’t be
CHAPTER FIVE- A NEW DISPENSATIONTORI’S POVIt’s been five years already. Five years since I’ve lived my painful past behind and now, I’m glad I could finally make something out of my life.Immediately I signed the divorce papers, Bill offered to accommodate me. His ex wife had divorced him after their daughter who looked like Candy, died in an accident. She thought it was his fault and couldn’t bear to look at him.I was surprised when Bill made his offer, but I didn’t have anybody so I accepted the offer and decided to work for him in order not to stay in a free accommodation and even though he refused, I insisted. He owned a big mansion, even bigger than Victor’s.He was the richest man after the Alpha in Silver moon pack, which is where we now reside. I worked in his fashion company and now, I had risen from a worker to having shares in the company.Luna fashion house was one of the biggest and most popular all over the packs, and our quality pieces could be seen on several ladies
CHAPTER SIX- OLD WOUNDSHer smile turned to a smirk, and I watched her fold her arms as she looked from me to Bill.“I see you’ve moved on nicely, playing perfect family with these strangers,” Samantha scoffed.“Please leave,” Bill said quietly.“Why should I…” she paused as her eyes rested on Candy, and she almost lost her balance as she sighted her.“Is that…” she pointed at Candy, too short of words to speak.“She has a striking resemblance to our late daughter, but you know she’s not her,” Bill said.Samantha walked closer to Candy and examined her closely. “They look exactly the same. Are you sure this isn’t our daughter? Did you pretend to kill our daughter so you can end up with this woman?”“Please leave!” Bill banged his fist on the table, attracting the attention of other customers.“I don’t believe this! I know you’re capable of anything so I’ll find out myself,” Samantha said and pulled at Candy’s hair till she got a strand and Candy immediately cried out in pain.“How dar
Chapter Seven Tori's POVMy eyes widened in surprise and shock as I turned a corner and came face to face with my ex husband. Victor's looks had changed. He seemed to be keeping a moustache now. His wife, Riley stood besides him with scornful look on her face.Staring at the both of them made me feel like I had been punched in the gut. My breathing became hitched and my hands were shaky. I placed my hand over my mouth to stop the gasp that threatened to escape from my lips.For a minute or more, I stood there, frozen in shock until I felt Bill's warm hands squeeze mine. I released a heavy sigh and allowed Bill pull me closer to himself. His arm wrapped around my waist sent a feeling of reassurance. It reminded me that this time, I was not alone.Luckilly, something distracted the kids just in time and they ran off, jumping happily.Victor's eyes narrowed at me. A sneer spread across his face as he spoke "Well well well, look what we have here. The slut has found a new sugar daddy." Vi

Chapter Fourty Eight - The End Of A Beginning.Tori's POVMy hands were shaky on the steering wheel. I was scared to start the car, I was afriad because my attention was not on the road but on Bill. On the decision of whether to leave or not. Bill looked sincere but how could I trust him? 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. Can we take a taxi instead?" I turned to the girls. Candy and Sienna nodded their heads in agreement, they seemed unbothered about it but were mostly focused on their burgers. I felt M
Chapter Fourty Seven - Letting go.Bill's POV "What is going on, Mum? Dad?" Millie asked, her voice was rough and barely above a whisper. The girls were already dressed in their uniforms and they seemed prepared for breakfast. How were we supposed to have breakfast in peace with the tension between I and Tori? I suddenly felt bad for the girls, the last thing I wanted to do was disappoint them, I wanted to be a father figure for them.Tori hastily wiped the tears off her eyes and forced a smile on her face. I was so sad right now, I hated that Tori had to pretend to be okay when she was literally breaking down deep inside of her. This was all my fault and I knew that I was going to live with this guilt for what seemed like eternity."Nothing baby. You girls look ready for school already?" Tori was struggling to change the topic. Sienna nodded her head in agreement while Candy pushed further. "Were you guys fighting?" She asked. I sighed heavily, Candy was so quick to notice the tensi
Chapter Fourty Six - Fight For Love Bill's POVI hated myself. I felt guilt eating me up on the inside. My whole world was slowly crumbling and i found it difficult to hold still. I wanted to fall flat to the floor and beg Tori, I could not imagine how horrible she was feeling at that moment. Was it that bad that she would not even look me in the face?"Tori, are you even hearing anything of what I am saying?" I asked. All of a sudden, she turned to gaze at me. My heart shattered into pieces as I saw tears roll down her cheeks. I felt guilt wash over me and my entire walls eventually crumbled. I was shattered just at the thought of knowing that I was the one who broke Tori. I made her this way and I hated myself for it."I am leaving." She blurted out. My brows furrowed in confusion at her words. What did she mean by she was leaving? Where would she be going? Was she leaving me? No way. I shook my head in disbelief and gazed at her with a questioning look."Lea-ving? Wh-ere? What d-o
Chapter Fourty Five - To leaveTori's POV I was afriad that Bill would wake up and meet me in the living room or bedroom so I chose to sleep in the girls' room. I made sure to lock the door as well. At first, I was unable to sleep because my mind kept drifting from Bill to Samantha's advice. I knew I had to make up my mind in the morning and that was what I was mostly afriad of, I was afriad of making the wrong decision so that I would not end up regretting it.A small knock on the door startled me, causing me to jolt from my sleep. I snapped my eyes open and they came in contact with the bright rays of sun coming from the window. I realized a loud yawn and my face fell as I was suddenly reminded of my predicament.The knock on the door must have woken the girls' up as well, although Millie was no longer in bed. I could hear shower noises coming from the bathroom. "Good morning mummy." Sienna cuddled herself close to me. I planted a small kiss on her forehead and flashed her a small
Chapter Fourty Four - Bigger ThingsTori's POVSamantha was right, I had to admit it to myself deep down that she was more than right. I had truly suffered enough. In the hands of Victor and in the hands of Bill. I had suffered in the hands of men and all I needed was a break.A break from everything and everyone. All my life, I have been betrayed by the people I loved the most. From Victor to Riley and to Bill. What more would happen if I decided to stay with Bill? Was our love really worth all the struggle that I was about to get myself entangled in? Most importantly, was I the only one fighting for the love I shared with Bill? It mattered to me if he was making any efforts towards keeping our relationship intact. Bill loved me, then why was he doing this to me? I was beginning to doubt Bill's love for me and I knew that it was beginning of a failed relationship. Even if I chose to stay, would I be able to trust him again? After all of this that happened? I knew I could survive o
Chapter Forty Three -Her TearsTori's POVMy hands were shaky and I found it extremely hard to catch my own breath. My heart raced fast as my eyes settled on the screen. I felt tears flow down my cheeks up till the point of causing my eyesight to blur. My phone eventually fell from my shaky hands causing it to make a shattering noise.I gulped a lump down my throat as my mind began to imagine the worse. How long had Bill and Samantha being doing this? Behind my back? Really? I bit my lower lip as I tried to hold back the tears but I was too weak, the tears kept dropping and I found myself breaking down into sobs.I slumped to the floor in defeat, my entire body shook in fear as I slowly processed everything. I was a fool all these years, I thought that Bill had gotten over Samantha but turns out he had not. I and the girls were only a pawn in their game. Bill had used me to heal and once he had healed, he went back to Samantha."No, no, no." I muttered to myself as I ran a hand throug
Chapter Fourty Two - The ImageTori's POVI laid comfortably on the bed, my eyes fixated on the roof ceiling. I sighed heavily at the absence of Bill. He had gone for a party, although he promised me that he would not be taking so long because Bill was never really a fan of parties to begin with. I gazed at the wall clock hanging carelessly on the wall, the time was 11pm, a few minutes before midnight. I ran a hand through my hair in frustration as I calculated how many hours Bill had been gone, for close to three hours. Was he okay? I felt like I was exaggerating and the last thing i wanted to do was ruin Bill's fun. Maybe he found the party interesting and decided to stay longer?I shook my head in disagreement, I knew Bill way more than anyone did. If there happened to be any of change of plans, I knew that Bill would have reached out to me, one way or the other. I sat upright and clutched the sheets of my bed tight.Without any more hesitation, I reached for my phone which was on
Chapter Fourty One - Showtime Samantha's POV Today was the day that I would execute my plan. The plan to make Bill get me pregnant. I was confident that my plan would work because that way Bill would feel attached to me knowing that I would be carrying his child.I grinned widely as I gazed at the white substance in a small transparent jar. The plan was to spike his drink and then lay with him. That way i would steal his sperm and leave the rest for the doctor's to do. Regina had recommended a secret hospital that specialized in such acts.I could not hide the excitement I was feeling as I walked into the club where a party was holding. Regina had been able to gather information on Bill's whereabouts. Apparently, he was invited to a party being held by a friend of his. Today was the perfect day.My eyes roamed around the space full of sweaty adults that swayed their bodies effortlessly to the music. The smell of booze and cigarettes was thick in the air. This was indeed a good party
