Chapter 177Chloe’s pov. All the staff tried hard not to cry, each of them finding a spot to rest their butt while Lucy wept on my chest. Lucy's face was wet in anguish as she apologized over and over for not being there for me, even though she knew how toxic my family was towards me."Lucy, it's okay," I pet her back, trying to comfort her, "Is Mendy the only sister you have?" Emma's eyes were filled with concern. “No” I shook my head, feeling a deep lump in my throat "I have a brother who used to love me, but suddenly he switched sides and chose Mendy over me." My voice cracked. "What about your mate?” Sarah's asked her mouth agape. “The one who rejected you and chose your sister over you?" her voice laced with disbelief.I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself.“It is not his fault, he was bewitched by Mendy’s sucked attitude but I guess now he is regretting his action” I explained tears welling up my face. “But I'm not ready to forgive him” Bryan’s face turned to thou
Chapter 178 Author’s POV Bryan banged the door tightly, leaving Chlor staring at him in disbelief “Aren’t you going to give me my book?” She proclaimed her voice laced with frustration her hand pressed against her hips. Bryan refused to reply to her, he turned to leave his long strides eating up the distance, Chloe ran behind him, her short legs working harder to keep up the race with Bryan. Chloe tried to stop Bryan but she was too scared to do so, she only walked beside him their footsteps echoed through the passage, a stark constraint on the silence between them. Chloe’s eyes fixed on Bryan her gaze pleading with him but Bryan wasn’t looking at her side. When they got to the open passage that led to the store, Bryan stopped walking and turned to Chloe, his eyes narrowed, his jaw set. "Go join your mate," he said curtly, his voice low and even. Chloe gazed at him trying to calm her angry emotion, her hand was spread out in gesture pointing to the book Bryan was holding
Chapter 179Liam’s POV. I paced back and forth inside my room, my mind swirled with the thought of Chloe, I couldn't seem to get everything straight, the feeling of unease consumed my heart, the urge to ensure she was fine and sound wherever she was. I have been thinking about her throughout the day and I couldn't help but feel the responsibility for her well-being. “I just can't shake off the feeling that she's in danger, I know it's irrational but I can't help” My legs limp beneath my trousers. A knock erupted from the door and I froze for a minute “Who is there?” I asked. I was expecting the person to answer but rather the person opened the door and stepped in without permission. I was about to shout at the person when I realized it was Lia, of course, she's the only one that can do that. She walked inside the room and went to sit down on the bed, her eyes following my every move, her hand folds on her chest. “What are you thinking?” she asked after a long distance of silenc
Chapter 180 Liam” POV I pace around the hall, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. How did Mendy find out about the meeting? And why did I have to hold it at my house? I'm such a fool. My hand rubbed through my hair, trying to calm my racing heart. "Mendy, please, don't start this" I tried to calm her down, but she looked unfazed, my eyes darting around the hall. She stands with her arms crossed on her chest, her eyes flashing with anger. "I ask you a question Liam, Why the hell did you hold a secret meeting?" she demands, her voice rising with frustration. She takes a step closer to me, her eyes rolling fiercely. Luke tries to intervene, his voice calm and soothing. "Mam Mendy, let's talk about this calmly." He said his eyes calm and reassuring but Mendy only glared at him dangerously. "Stay out of this Mr man," she snaps, her eyes never leaving mine. "This is between me and Liam okay?" Now I fully regret holding the meeting here. I should have chosen somewhere far away,

She had already sold over $1000 fish, she was giggling from head to toe, the thought of having more sales than Ryan brought her joy. "I can't believe you’ve not sold anything apart from the one you sold in the morning" May exclaimed, with a teased tongue a gesture of ‘I'm good then you’ "What's wrong, are you not charming enough?" she smiled. Ryan rolled his eyes annoyingly "I'm not in the mood to speak with you" he replied merely. Grandma Terry and Grandpa Terry, sitting nearby, chuckled to themselves as they watched the dynamics between the two of them. "Ooh, another customer here,” May snapped simply not interested cause the new customer was a lady and there was a deal between her and Ryan that said, Ryan would attend to the female customer while she would attend to the male customer.

The bandit surrounded them trailed Them to the middle, Ryan’s face darted from side to side trying hard to read their intention. The rubber’s eyes gleamed with Excitement and greedy. One of the robbers a tall lanky man with a scruffy beard moved closer to Ryan “Hand over your money and everything you have with you” He spoke up his voice was gruff and menacing. His eyes were greedily fixed on the Carton of potato May was carrying. His hand slowly moves to his back resting his hand on the knife in his belt.

Chapter 183 Chloe’s Pov. I remained in the store and quietly sat down while other apprentice went out for lunch, I wasn't in the mood for food, the frustration boiling in me was evident on my face, and Bryan’s refusal to return my book still grated my soul-making my annoyance grow with each passing moment. How could he be so stubborn? Why would he refuse to return my book after the long narration from me? Why would he withhold my book for goodness sake? My mind jugged banging my hand on the table. Or should I sneak into his quarter and steal the book back? Maybe I should wait until he was distracted or create a diversion to draw his attention. But I know isn't possible he is always grumpy blaming me for everything. I sighed heavily, my my mind racing on how I could get the book back, but I knew that would be futile, he would never give me the chance to move closer to him not to talk of stealing the book. Lost in the pool of my through my anger and frustration simmering bel

May shivered in fear, not understanding Ryan's gaze. his was burning with anger, and his jaw was clenched tightly. He turned suddenly back and saw the person who had hit him with the stick it was one of the robbers. Even before Ryan stood up, the robber was already shaking like a leaf. Ryan's face twisted in rage, and he stood up, his movements swift and menacing. Ryan twisted the robber's hand to the back, snatching a loud groan from him. "Please let me go!" the man screamed, his voice trembling with fear. But Ryan wasn't listening. He twisted the hand to his satisfaction, his eyes was blazing with fury, he pushed the man away and the man rolled on the floor, gasping for breath, his face was twisted with in pain. "Are you okay?" May's voice echoed, tears staining her lashes. Her eyes were wide with fear, and her face was pale.
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
