Chapter 163Chloe’s POVMy spoon slipped from my hand, clattering to the floor with a loud clang. I tried to nudge Lucy, but she was too absorbed in her meal to notice. Ryan's gaze shifted to me, and he looked just as startled as I felt. His expression turned stern,"What are you doing here?" he demanded, his tone harsh and accusatory. "Are you following me?" I felt my face grow hot, and I opened my mouth to respond, but I couldn't find my voice. Lucy finally raised her head, her eyes slowly leaving the plate in front of her. She looked up at Ryan, her gaze lingering for a moment before narrowing. She dropped her spoon, the sound echoing through the room, and turned her attention fully to Ryan.With a sassy tone "Ugh, Ryan, really?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "We'd rather chase after a ram than follow you around!" Ryan's face turned red with annoyance, and he snapped, "What's that supposed to mean?" Lucy just raised an eyebrow, her expression daring him to keep pus
Chapter 164Chloe’s POV After we finished eating, we all headed to the sitting room to watch a movie. But I was too restless to sit still, knowing we had to nail down a job as soon as possible. I tried to get Lucy's attention, pinching her arm to signal that we should get going, but she was too engrossed in the movie to even notice. She just swatted my hand away, like, "Not now, girl!"Just then, Bryan's phone rang, and everyone's eyes snapped to him. He answered, but his end of the conversation was completely silent. He just listened, his face getting more and more twisted by the second. When he finally hung up, he slammed the phone down on the table, his expression was like a hungry lion ready to devour its prey. "Hey, kiddo, what's going on?"Grandpa Terry questions noticing his stern look. "The new apprentice I hired is a total disaster, and I'm drowning in work! I can't do it alone!" he explained with a tailed of angered. "You know, Bryan, if you had settled down with a good
Chapter 165Chloe’s POV We were shown to different rooms, but the first one had really caught my eye was the first room!The maid gestured to show us more further room but I stop them. "I think I love the first room, The soft creamy white walls and dark wood floors are so warm and inviting. And the bed, oh the bed! It looks like a fluffy cloud just waiting for us to snuggle in." I exclaimed to the maid. "Me too! Let's stay there together! It feels like a little slice of heaven." Lucy nodded enthusiastically, her ponytail bobbing up and down. The maid smiled and led us back to the room, and as we entered, I collapsed onto the plush bed. "Oh, this bed is even more comfortable than it looks!" I sighed, feeling my exhaustion melt away. "I'm so glad we chose this room, Lucy. It's the perfect place to rest and recover." I gushed. Lucy giggled and snuggled in beside me. "It feels like a cloud too!" she said, her voice muffled by the soft pillows. "And look, there are potted plants on
Chapter 166Chloe’s POV We walked out of the house and Bryan led us to his car, parked nearby. He got into the front seat, while Lucy and I settled into the back. As we buckled up, Bryan glared at us through the rearview mirror, his eyes piercing. I instinctively reached for Lucy's hand, feeling a bit intimidated by his intense gaze.But then, Bryan's expression changed, and he said with a smirk, "I look like a driver, right?" Lucy and I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the unexpected comment. Our laughter filled the car, and even Bryan cracked a smile but he turned to a cold one immediately. And we quickly composed ourselves. “It sounds so funny that you two can't help but show off your teeth” He scolded his gaze mirroring ours and I swallowed hard holding Lucy Hands tighter, knowing fully I was not alone in this. “We are sorry” Lucy apologized but her facial expression didn't suit her tone. “With that face,” Bryan asked, and I wonder why he was acting up at least she apo
Chapter 167Author’s pov May and Ryan had just finished bathing. They went inside the sitting room, waiting for Grandpa Terry to take them to the fish mart, but when they got inside the sitting room, Grandpa Terry wasn't there. May exchanged a knowing glance with Ryan, but Ryan only glared at her annoyingly before taking his seat. May also sat down, trying to contain her excitement. She was thrilled that her room was opposite Ryan's, and she would get every opportunity to see him, but she hated the fact that Grandpa Terry and Grandma Terry had given Chloe the chance to live with them. She hated the fact.Ryan noticed May's excitement and asked, "Is the sunny day so good that it's put you in a good mood?" He asked in a rude way, and May swallowed hard, trying to hide her true feelings. "no…i’m…I'm just missing Mr. Wilson, I'm not excited about anything." she lied. "Save it, May. I'm not buying it. You lied too much and I'm not buying any of your words."Ryan said purely not intere

"You don't have to come, honey just stay home," Grandpa Terry replied standing up on the couch. “No, I'm following them, I know you would deny me of going but I'm not ready to bid, I'm following you,” she said snatching a loud snicker from May Grandpa Terry stared at a space lost in words for a minute. “Okay okay, do as you please,” he said gleaning to the door and they all followed him. they walked to the car outside.

"Are you sure you haven't lost your memory of how to drive?" May teased in a way that only Ryan could hear. Ryan ignored her question and walked to the driver's seat. "watch out on how I'm going to drive." He smirk.
Chapter 169Author’s Pov. Bryan drove roughly to the police station, his mind racing with thoughts of Ross and the predicament she was in. "What the hell is going on?" he muttered to himself, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. He had just received a call from the officer, informing him that Ross would be taken to court tomorrow, and he couldn't believe it. "Tomorrow? That's ridiculous!" Ross was like a sister to him, they had been friends since secondary school, and he cared about her deeply. He had tried his best to help her out of the trouble she had gotten herself into, but it seemed like all his efforts had been in vain.He parked his car in front of the police station and rushed inside, his heart pounding with anxiety..

Do we have to?""No, May, you should come with us. It's not far, and we want you to see Bryan's shop. It's a beautiful place." Grandma Terry was insistent, her voice firm but gentle. "Fine, but I'm only going because I have to, not because I want to." May sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. They started moving Grandpa Terry leading the way. As they walked, May's irritation grew. "This is taking forever! How much farther is it?"But no one reply her. They all keep walking without looking at her side which annoys her but she only matches her foot on the floor. Finally, they arrived at the shop, and May's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, this place is beautiful!" she exclaimed, her voice full of admiration and wonder."Yeah, it's nice, but you don't want to come do you?" Ryang runted,
Epilogue. Three years later. I stood in front of all the people that made mockery of me in the last few years and I came up with an idea that was going to yield a greater impact than whatever they decided to dump on me. It was going to take a long time before I finally gave up because now there was a reason for me to become Luna.Firstly, my eyes roamed about the crowd that had gathered one way or the other and I felt immensely proud of myself and my achievements. I had not wasted any time in making sure that this was completed and this made me very interested in whatever I could get. My eyes rested on my family which had come together after the first issue."Today we gathered together as a pack and celebrated the fact that we have only one person in our midst who has been wonderful through the beginning of time. We must have wronged her but she had never used this opportunity against us!" A moderator spoke on the platform, making me smile a little bit. Everyone's gaze was fille

The only way they would be able to make a difference because if they were able to push Chloe away.Mendy hugged him tightly, planting a small kiss on his lips as everything she had ever wished for was falling into place in her very eyes. "If anyone had told me that I was going to experience this, I would never have believed it but, here I am with the most amazing man, who doesn't hesitate to do whatever I want. I think I'm the luckiest woman on Earth." Liam's feet tapped the ground in anger but he refused to allow himself to be mad at her. "Yeah, right." Scott and Ryan were already doing their thing, and it was up to him to have them get more answers. "So what do you want us to do? Do you want me to bring the kids over again or to kick Chloe out?" He asked in a somewhat weird voice. This was enough to sell the script that
Chapter 139. Author's POV. At Jax's pack, Jax walked out of his room with his head held high as he thought of the best way to humiliate the woman who had tried to make his life miserable. She had proven to be stubborn and he was going to love it when he broke her into pieces and made her forget the fact that she ever wanted to leave him. It was going to take a lot of mental stress, but what better way than to discover somebody who had wasted her time trying to fight for us, something that even she didn't understand. It was hard to say the least at least from the beginning but now that he had the upper hand, he was going to make it into whatever you wanted and hoped that she wouldn't come against him. "I hope you know that it's my birthday and you have to dance before everybody." He asked. Chloe looked up from the book she was reading. He had been kind enough to allow her access to books so that she wouldn't be bored out of her mind. He had claimed that this was the be
Chapter 138. Liam's POV. I jumped out of bed almost immediately as though somebody had pinched me. I looked around and found myself being alone in a room, wondering what the hell had happened and why I couldn't explain to anyone how I had felt. It was almost like I was telling a lie but I knew deep down that it wasn't. This was as real as possible. Something had changed inside of me. I looked at the teacup on my bed and smelt something weird. I picked it up immediately, inspecting the contents, and realizing it was just normal coffee, but something was highly different. The door opened immediately and I saw Bryan come in without my permission. "How are you feeling today?""When did you start being nice to me?" I demanded from him. "I think it has started to work and that's why you are trying to grasp why everything is upside down." "I still do not understand what you are talking about. I would love more context so that I have a perfect idea." I answered, a little bit worried
Chapter 137.Author's POV. One month later, Ryan and Lucy stood in front of the table in Liam's office this time fixated on him as they looked up and down coming up with nothing else but anger."What is the report from the people back there?""Everyone says that they have not been able to find her. In fact her scent is highly untraceable as everybody believes that she has probably decided to shield herself from the public. Are you sure she has been talking or this is just a way of getting her sanity back?" Lucy asked, a little worried but thinking of other possibilities. Chloe was a woman of many skills and sometimes she could deserve to come up with something but they wouldn't be able to comprehend. If that was the case, then they needed to be as careful as possible and not just Rush into conclusions like that. Liam came in just as they were having the conversation and was a little bit stifled even though he couldn't just ask how things had been going because of the bad relation
Chapter 136.Chloe's POV. Two weeks later, "There is only one place that I know that Mendy would never fail to take those kids to and that is back to Jax pack." Ryan's words rang in my head. It wasn't as simple as that because then I had so much to prove and I hoped that I was able to bring him back on track. I walked into a place that was formerly mine and my mouth fell wide open as I saw Sophia leaning on Jax's body stroking his chin softly. "What the hell is going on here?" I demanded angrily when I saw the way she continued even in my very presence without feeling like she had done something wrong. Sophia stood reluctantly, "I don't know why you are screaming. This is not your jurisdiction where you can do whatever you like so I would suggest that you tame your voice." My eyes widened at the second betrayal that I had received in the last few weeks. Why did everyone I trust turn on me so badly and make me feel like a fool? "You are not even sorry about your actions!" "Th
Chapter 135:Chloe's POV. After my brother collapsed on the ground, I had absolutely no choice but to think of what could be done next to ensure that I had everything back on track. Bryan attended a meeting that was supposed to help assist us on knowing how exactly to deal with my brother's case. Things were already getting out of hand and I didn't know how to handle it. Most importantly, I felt a little bit weird inside my bones as I was left with nothing but people just conversing and making mockery of me as I walked around the pack where I was once respected but now disgraced. My kids were still nowhere to be found and I felt like running mad but decided to hold myself together because if I did let myself go, how on earth was I supposed to get them back? That would simply be allowing Mendy to win and that was the last thing on my mind right now. All I needed was the faith that I was going to be able to overcome this without even batting an eyelid. "So, if I understand correc
134.Author's POV. Mehndi shook her head immediately when she heard those words come out of her younger sister's mouth. Of course, she was going to act like she was powerful, but she knew deep down that this lady feared for her life, and that was exactly what she was about to capitalize on. Her sister would never have the Liberty to move around and to do whatever it is that it took unless it was time and that she gave the permission. "Have you any idea what it means, to lose everything that you have ever worked for? Do you know how problematic your world turns?" Aria asked Mendy whose mind was completely somewhere else and didn't even care for whatever the child must have been feeling. In her mind, she couldn't wait for the kids to realize that she didn't love them and put them under her bondage forever. "You shouldn't disturb me when I'm trying to meditate. You, of all people, know that, don't you?!" She snapped at them, making them recoil in shock. This was the first time that
133.Chloe's POV. I was a little bit worried for my brother who had been doing a lot of work behind the scenes and had not been receiving any glory whatsoever. If there was anybody that I wanted to praise right now in my life, it had to be him, and I wasn't even ready to do anything besides just relax and wait and see what could be done. I had more than enough reason to be afraid when he grabbed the railing and immediately began to tremble like he had been struck by lightning. Someone else might think that I was exaggerating, but that was how I felt at that moment. I had more than enough reason to also fear my life when he came close to me and looked like he was about to give the ghost. My brother was the most precious thing in my life right now and I didn't think that I was going to change that for the world. I have more than enough reason to also relax and hope that the best came to me but I knew deep down that he was trying his best just to make sure that I enjoyed the fines
