Chapter 15
I stand outside and look at the dark. I'm still angry and scared at the same time. I pull out my phone and check my time, it's past nine already.
I sigh and begin walking. There's no damn car on the road and this is more difficult than I thought. Maybe I shouldn't have fought with Todd if I'm gonna end up being stranded. Same time I am glad I told him my mind. How he's been an asshole all this time and acting like a control freak. Telling me who to be friends with.
I continue walking down the lonely street as I look around. I look through my contacts, no one to call. Not even one person. Maybe I should have asked Chloe and Thomas for their numbers if I'm gonna make it out alive from this street.
And Judah, this is the point where he's supposed to be useful. I can't believe I told Todd to his face that I'd fuck Judah gladly. What was I even thinking? Judah ma
Chapter 16" What's he doing here?" Todd asks. I sigh and cross my arms." We're fucking, get out." Judah says behind me. I turn around and glare at him as I swat his chest. He smirks up at me bites his bottom lip. He looks down at Todd and huffs. I can't let them fight. Because physically Todd isn't a match for Judah, I can't watch my neighbor beat up my ex boyfriend." Can you excuse us? Please?" I ask Judah. Judah looks down at me for confirmation and I nod. I gesture for him to go inside and he does not after shooting Todd a death glare. I shut my door and step out on the porch." Why's he here Serena?" He asks and I cross my arms." You can't just slap me yesterday and come over to my house to ask me why my neighbor is in my house."" This isn't any neighbor Serena, this is Judah."" So what?"" You know he's gonna hu
Chapter 17 My head hurts and it feels like some people are drumming against my head. I try to open my eyes but I hold my head instead. Everything feels blank as I try to open my eyes. Everything seems blurry and I can hear little muffled voices. I sit up at once and hold my head in my hands groaning." God…" I blink my eyes and look around this unfamiliar room. This isn't my room. The wall is a light pink with pictures of Beyoncé pasted on it. The pain is terrible, I feel like my head's gonna fall off. And then I remembered what happened. How my head was slammed against my car window by Todd." You need to take this." A familiar voice says. I clean my eyes with one hand while the other holds my head. Diana smiles at me holding a glass of water and pills." What happened?" My voice croaks. I take the water and the pills from her as I swallow it dry, pushing the p
Chapter 18 ♥JUDAH♥" How much do you think a rare kind of diamond would cost Judah?" Ransom asks. I watch his back as he runs his fingers down the shelves of books." I don't know." He chuckles silently and turns around to face me. He removes the gloves from his hands and drops them on his desk." Of course you don't. It's price in the market is high because it's rare. You don't know how badly I want one." I don't say a word as I watch the scarred man in front of me. He picks up a cigar and lights it, puffing out the smoke." I'd kill to have that, you know. Sell it to the auction and make a lot of money from it. But where can I get it?"" I don't know."" Fucking bullshit!" He hisses in disgust and puffs out the smoke in my face.
Chapter 19" You know you're this popular girl in college but you don't really know about it." Diana says as we walk down the hallway of the hospital. I chuckle at Diana's words.After that conversation with that creepy scarred man, I had to make sure we left the Cafe that very minute. Diana stopped me earlier and told me what happened to Todd. And I'm suspecting just one person. Judah." I don't know what you're talking about. Did you call Genevieve and report Todd?" " Yeah, I did. That prick needed a warning. Now I'm wondering who made him hospitalized." We stopped at Todd's hospital room and I'm bewildered at his sight. Who the hell would wanna beat up someone to that position. Diana pushes open his door to the end. I turn to look at Diana as she tries to muffle her laugh. I nudge her and she smiles. Charlotte sits next to her son as she sobs. I don't even know why I'm here. Maybe to st
Chapter 20" It might sound weird but I've never kissed a girl before. You're the first." He didn't just say that. What? I pull away from him and look this man down. Judah isn't saying the truth, right? No, I mean he's this perverted neighbor I truly admired and he's never kissed a girl before? What about his sluts? How do they even have sex? He smirks and goes to the kitchen." Judah." I call after him and follow him." What, Sophie?" He turns to look at me." Judah, you always have sex. I mean you like women."" Wait, is that what you see me as? Your hot neighbor who likes women?" I roll my eyes." What about Mercedes? What about your other sluts?"" I paid them to fuck me and not to fucking kiss me. They are different."" I hate it when you swear."" You like it, Serena." He smiles at me." Then why did you kiss
Chapter 21 " I want you to ruin me." Judah is surprised that I said that. He watches me closely and he smirks." Are you sure about this?" He asks. I'm not sure about anything. But what I'm sure about is that I want Judah. I want him to do whatever he wants with me. Before I can blink my eyes, I'm being lifted up and placed on Judah's shoulder, head face down. I giggle and bite my lip when I feel his hand on my butt. I watch the ground as he walks past his living room to his bedroom. Oh, boy, we're going to his bedroom. My heart slam against my chest and it's beating rapidly. He opens his bedroom door and shuts it. I raise my head to look at my new surroundings. Judah's room is different from mine. It's pretty and manly. He set me on my feet and his arms stay around my waist." Breathe, we are not having sex."" What?"
Chapter 22 I watch Judah walk to Zayn's table. Zayn still stares at me. Eyes not leaving my body. I look away at once and drink Judah's bottled water. Judah leans his hands on their table as he says something. Zayn's taunting gaze moves to Judah and his smirk is gone." What the fuck are you doing here?" I hear Judah faintly ask." What the fuck do you expect?" Troy asks. His looks mean one thing. He hates Judah to the core. And if he's given a knife to stab Judah right now, that dude will." Bitch, I ain't talking to you." Judah spits out." Fuck you, man." Troy says as he glares at Judah." Be Careful what you spit out, boy." Judah warns. From where I'm sitting, I can sense the anger laced in his voice. And he isn't joking." What the fuck you're gonna do? Get mad and slam my head on a fucking counter? You'll only end up hurting your little slut right there." 
Chapter 23" Hey, champ." I greet Hero and sit on the counter stool opposite him. He looks up at me with his cigarette in between his lips. He smiles at me." What?" He chuckles." You're Hero. And a Hero is a champion." I tell him and shrug. I look down at the plate of toast on top of the counter. It doesn't look that bad actually." That's one of the worst definitions I've ever heard." He says and I playfully glare at him." You made this?" I ask, referring to the toast." Hero can't cook." Judah says as he walks past his kitchen door." Fuck you, man." Hero tells him." I bet that tastes like shit though." I hear Judah mutter and he chuckles quietly. The front door shuts and I assume he's outside, standing on his porch smoking a cigarette." You can cook right?" I pout at Hero." Sometimes. I suck at it truly, Judah is better." He says and I pick up a t
♥ EPILOGUE ♥ I squeal loudly as I run into the waves.Judah took me to a fucking island.A vacation I've always hoped for.An isolated island with a beautiful home and a man you're in love with by your side.Isn't that dream worthy? Judah sweeps me off my feet as we kiss.We were always kissing ever since we settled our differences. Aunt Adele went back to London the previous day before we came here. Diana threw a big party in her father's house that evening and we party the hell out. I talked with Todd and he apologized for whatever thing he did to me. Summer apologized too. Confessed she's been jealous of me all this while and she envied my life. My fucked up life. Judah took me to Italy and we spent a week there. We visited his neighborhood and it was fun, seriously. Seeing his childhood neighborhood and all that.
Chapter 42 ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥" 'Cause I'm leaving the country."God, no.He can't just do that to me.We can't just fight and have issues and he's planning to leave." Good luck then." I twist the doorknob but Judah stops me." Leave me the fuck alone!" I yell at him." You can't just hurt me and make me mad and then come back to me and ask me for forgiveness. It doesn't work like that, Judah. If you wanna go back to Italy, just go. Leave me alone. You're not human Judah. No matter what the reason is, I don't expect you to sedate me and give me to Francis fucking Ryland. You're mean Judah. I forgive you alright, get off my face." I push past him and storm inside the apartment, making sure I lock my door. I sniffle and sob. I hate that I feel this way." Fucking hell." I hear Judah mutter and a thumping sound follows. Did he pu
Chapter 41 ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥ " You know it's not his fault right?" Hero asks, leaning beside my kitchen door. " Yeah?" I chuckle sadly as I sit down. " You know most times, we're placed in this situation where we don't have a choice." " I believe every single person has a choice. It's about facing the consequences that come with the choices." " I agree though. Same time we're all fucked up. Him especially." Hero smiles apologetically and leaves. " And one more thing, if you choose to forgive him anytime soon, don't forgive him too easily. He needs to be dealt with a little." Hero says as he walks out. I chuckle sadly.Forgive him? Can I even forgive him?I can't do this. I take a deep breath, drawing back the tears as I pick up my phone. Aunt Adele is the first person I need to call. " Hey sweet cheeks. You're okay?" " I'm not." My voi
Chapter 40 ♥ JUDAH'S POV ♥I feel terrible.Whatever shit I did, I don't have a choice. But I probably got it covered. It was out of my will, I didn't know what to do. I can't see her get hurt after seeing all the shit she passed through." We need to talk." Ransom said on the phone. I sat across from him. He knows I'm not happy with whatever shit he wanted to say." Where's the fucking heirloom Judah?"" I don't know what the fuck you're talking about."" You're playing smart ass huh? Do you wanna see her get hurt or what?"" I don't fucking know what you're talking about, Francis." I told him." You know I brought you in. Made you who you're today."" No shit, you didn't. You only made me worse. You made m
Chapter 39 Wait.I thought my father's friend, Francis Ryland died months ago in Cuba. What the hell is going on that I'm not even aware of." I need to go." I say as I proceed to follow Genevieve and Francis. Todd pulls me back." Where are you going?"" Let go of me." I grit out. He nods and lets go of my hand." What do you even want from me? What do y'all want from me? You know I just witnessed a miracle today. I saw my father's old friend who's supposed to be dead."" Who?"" Francis fucking Ryland."" That wasn't Francis. You are mistaking him for someone else." I roll my eyes and walk back into the tavern. I need to get the hell out of here.I stop by our table." I'm sick. I wanna go home." I say." Why? Something wrong? What did Todd say to you?" Diana asks ." Nothing, I'm fine. I'm gonna call an Uber, you gu
Chapter 38 ♥ JUDAH'S POV ♥" I'm falling in love with you Judah, and I'm a damn fool for it." Fuck it.Fuck all of this.This is new.This is crazy. This is fucked up.It's kinda weird to hear someone tell me they love me. I don't even think anyone has ever told me that.Fuck this shit.I lean my elbows on the railings as I stare out the city. I groan and rake my fingers through my hair.God I'm going insane.I pull out a stick of cigarette and light it.Without pulling it out , I exhale the smoke through my nostrils. She's fucking with my entire thinking system. I don't feel good.This isn't right. She isn't supposed to be falling in love with me. She shouldn't have told me that.I grew up to understand that nobody cares about me. Nobody gives two shits about you
Chapter 37 ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥" Serena." I'm already down the hallway when someone grabs my forearm. Without turning back, I know who it is. Of course it's Judah, you can easily tell. I turn to face him." What? You should be with Mercedes."" Why?" He asks. Is he insane?Or is he high or what? I look into his eyes and there's nothing wrong with him. They are the perfect shades of green that I've always admired." Serena." The girls waltzes in. They stare at me and Judah as they shift their gaze to my form." It looks like you're safe. We are gonna be inside." They say and walk back inside one after the other." You know this can't work right? You don't just take a girl to her dream vacation and ignore her calls afterwards. And there you're with some other gi
Chapter 36Wanted?Like criminally wanted?I feel like passing out.This can't be true right?Judah's is weird, he's mysterious and he can't be criminally wanted right?But how the hell did Phoebe know a lot about him? About what he told me only? Who the fuck told her that?I'm not insane. I can literally remember he told me that story when we were alone. By ourselves." It's a lie." I say at once." What? Serena what did he do to you?" Michael asks." I should be asking all of you what this man did to you. He's lying. Judah's not a bad person."" Judah is not bad? He told you that right?" Albert asks.Who the fuck is he?How can he be so manipulative?How the hell did he even convince two detectives who knew their jobs?But why do I even trust Judah?I mean he asked me why I trusted him and yet I have no damn reason. Judah c
Chapter 35 I stare at this camera on my countertop and think of who to call. Judah or maybe Phoebe. Who would do this? How come I'm just seeing this? I run my hands down my hair and itch it. I'm going insane. One tiny little heirloom is trying to consume my life and I don't even know what to do with myself anymore. Who would plant a camera in my kitchen? And that's when something clicks. What if it's everywhere in my house? I carry a kitchen stool and take it to the living room. I drop it close to the wall and climb on it. And that's when I see another one. I pull it out and go to the extreme of the living room. Another one. I throw them on the floor and sigh. This has passed becareful. " Damn it, my bedroom." I hurriedly went to my room and searched for any cameras. There are none. I breathe in a sigh of relief and sit down on my bed.
