Chapter 184
Coloe’s POV
Late that night, there was a knock on the door.
Before Sandra could go towards it, I already knew who it was by scent alone.
Hannah strutted into the house with her head high, holding a basket of fruits. “Chloe, I wanted to bring you something to eat.”
She said that while looking around the entire house with a frown.
I knew what Hannah was thinking.
Why was Chloe not crying? How did she have the appetite to eat and drink alcohol?
Hannah had a flaw that she could not hurt someone without going back to gloat. This was the final trap I had set for her, to make sure to ruin her completely that she would forever remember her place.
For now, I completely ignored her until she sat down beside me and set the fruits on the table.
“Chloe, how are you doing?” she started, her voice soft.
Without looking at her, I responded. “Very well. Thank you for asking. Though I do wonder how you have the time to worry about me when you just lost a child…my condolences.”
Hannah’s eyes narrowed slightly at my snarky response but the hard look disappeared almost immediately.
“Chloe, I came here to speak with you, not to be reminded of what I am going through-”
“And tell me, Hannah.” A cruel smirk lifted onto my lips. “How exactly do you plan on speaking to me without being reminded of your loss when apparently, I am your child’s murderer?”
My voice lowered to a whisper that only the two of us would hear. “Hannah, you know why you are here. Cut to the chase. I do not have time for your nonsense.”
As I said that, I silently signaled Sandra who had remained in the room to join the others in the backyard.
As the door shut behind Sandra, the look on Hannah’s face instantly transformed.
“Sooner or later, you are going to be dead,” she spat.
“A cocky statement from someone who has to use a child to garner followers. If Alpha Paul wanted me dead, I would be by now.”
I chuckled. “Hannah, do you really think this little stunt can get rid of me?”
I checked Hannah’s face and body over and over again, listening for her heartbeat as well. She looked and sounded perfectly normal.
Now, I was almost certain that she had not even been pregnant at all.
She must have also manipulated the doctor’s reports somehow. After all, her father was the Beta of the pack and still had some standing.
“Chloe, you really think you are something because you mated Axel, right?” she asked, wearing a smile that screamed ‘I know something you don’t.’

She was thinking of the fact that Axel died in my past life so I would soon become a widow.
eet down the cards I was playing with and leaned back on the couch, crossing my arms over my chest. “Hannah, can you answer a simple question?”
Her brow lifted and I took that as my permission to continue.
“Why do you have it out for me? You would seriously harm your own body just to make sure I get punished.”
Hannah opened her mouth and then shut it.
Of course, she did not have a reason besides the fact that she could not stand to see me happy for whatever reason.
I pressed on. “You got our parents’ love. You got the man you wanted to marry. You got all the money and the attention from everyone else. Why continue?”
“Do not even try to get into my head now-”
I cut in to say. “You are a lunatic. That’s why,” I said, my voice blank like I was talking about the weather. “A lunatic that would get herself killed sooner or later.”
Hannah was about to speak but I shut her up. “You hurt your child because of me. Admit it. You are a lunatic that killed your child.”
Hannah did not say anything for a moment and then, she burst into derisive laughter.
“Goddess,” she said, wiping a stray tear from her eyes. “Here I was thinking you were not rattled at all. Turns out you really were scared and were hiding it.”
Her eyes shone with glee. “So what?”
“Excuse me?” I said.
She chuckled. “Yes, I faked a miscarriage. So what?” She giggled again. “Don’t tell me you actually thought I was pregnant. A little blood and no one can tell the difference.”
