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
Chapter 24 " Judah?" He clenches his hands into fists as he walks to us. Todd notices my stare as he turns to look at Judah. He let go of my hand at once." What the fuck are you doing with her?" Judah flares at Todd." I'm just talking to her."" You're talking to her?" Judah says as he glares at Todd. I stand in between them and hold Judah's wrist. He's not willing to let it slide." It's not what you think." I whisper. I notice the few eyes around the parking lot and they are staring at us." I made it clear Todd, stay the fuck away from her." Judah says through clench teeth." You're not her boyfriend, Judah." Todd says. Oh God, can someone please listen to me. I mean what's wrong with Judah? I can't let him beat up Todd for the second time." You wanna go back to the hospital? Cause I'll do that right no
Chapter 25 ♥ TODD'S POV♥ I can't believe I lost her for good.Not to any person but Judah. And it has to be Judah. I tap my fingers on the steering wheel and groan at the red light. I caused this. I let dad control me as always and now I've lost her. I might be a jerk but Serena is one of the girls I've truly liked. It was when she walked away with Judah, I realized I really cared about her. What made me hit her?What was wrong with me? I just let my anger take the best side of me. The light turns green and I drive to my father's estate. I park my car and get down. I shut the door and ignore one of his many guards that greets me." You are now friends with that slut, huh?" I hear my father's voice yells. He's probably yelling at Diana.&nb
Chapter 26 With my earbuds plugged in my ears, I put on my running shoes and race down the sidewalk. I wave at mama Gina and don't even look at Judah's apartment. He's such an asshole. How can he play me? I mean I know what we had isn't something romantic, but that doesn't mean he had to throw it at my face after having sex with me. Not just any kind of sex. He fucking took my v-card. I wish I knew the meaning of his words when he said he was gonna ruin me. How can he be such an asshole? And also good looking at the same time. Fuck him. It's 6:15 am in the morning and the entire street is not yet busy. I run down the sidewalk without a care in this world. Danileigh rap music blares through my earbuds and it makes me feel good. After I stormed out of Judah's penthouse last night. We haven't talked. He didn't call me and I didn't bother to drop a call. He's
Chapter 27My heart skips a beat at Judah's confession. He didn't mean that, did he? ' I just want you. You make me feel these awkward feelings I've never felt before. What are you doing to me Serena?' I run my fingers through his hair and look down at his beautiful face. His eyes are closed and his arms curl around my waist. He's not letting go of me. How can he do all these annoying things to me and openly make that confession? I wish he tells me what it means." Judah." I call his name but he doesn't respond. He stands upright and removes his head from my shoulder to look at me. He's still wobbly and I'm holding tight to him." What did you take?" I ask him. He smiles. One of his huge smiles that makes my heart beat for him. He's weird. We're both weird." You're so beautiful." He smiles and raises hi
Chapter 28 ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥ "Father." Is he serious?Okay, I don't have bad memories. I can literally recall him telling me his father died of an overdose, including his mom. How's Ransom is dad? I furrow my brows and look at him as I cross my arms. " What are you saying?" " You asked me who's Ransom to me. I told you he is a lot of things to me. He's likely a father figure which I don't value. He's a sick fuck." " Your parents died of an overdose Judah." " Yeah, I know. It's the truth." " And Ransom?" " He took me in. Brought me up and shit." He scoffs. " Wait. I don't understand." I tell him and sit on his lap. Judah wraps his arms around my waist. " Your parents died when you were fourteen and Ransom took you in?" " Maybe." " You work wi
♥ 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.
