Walter’s cheeks turned red, and he glanced at the ground. To save him from further embarrassment, I stepped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder, drawing his attention back to me.“That’s very kind of you to offer, Walter. But it’s quite alright. I’ll be fine. Thank you though,” I told him.
Judy’s POVWhen I first realized Carol was no longer my friend, back in middle school, it was a few days after the spelling bee contest. She only missed one letter in the word ‘Necessary’ and it cost her the competition. It was only a small competition for middle schoolers, but she took it to heart,
“Is she really unworthy of the scholarship?”“Her silence speaks volumes!”“Why isn’t she defending herself??”My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan; her eyes were wide and filled with worry. She gave me a small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was i
Judy’s POVCarol’s face paled immediately upon hearing Gavin’s words.I could see the panic on her face as she tried to desperately come up with a story to justify her actions. I knew Carol was a lot of things, but a cheater?She had always worked so hard to get to where she was and a part of me sti
Nan only rolled her eyes and made her way over to me, wrapping her arms around me and pulling me in for a hug.“Are you okay?” She asked me, her voice low and for my ears alone.I nodded, feeling the burning sensation of unshed tears in the back of my eyes. I refused to let them fall right here thou
“I’ll take care of you tonight,” Alpha Edward told me softly. “Don't worry about a thing. You just focus on having fun and forget about that terrible ceremony.”I smiled, grateful to him.After my 3(rd) tequila shot, I could barely walk. As soon as I slid off the barstool, I nearly fell to the groun

Third Person POVIrene was lost in thought, lying in the parlor, doom-scrolling through her phone. She frowned when she came across a recent article that featured her father and Judy out on what seemed like a date. Irene wasn’t stupid, she knew that there was something going on between the two of th
“Did you think I wouldn’t?” I asked him.He shrugged his shoulders.“I knew Dad would come back, but I didn’t think you would take,” he admitted. “But I’m glad you’re here. Doctor Pierce said I can leave later today because my vitals are good.”Eliza nodded, a fond look in her eyes.“It’s true. He s
Judy’s POVI slept better than I had in a long time. I was fully satisfied both emotionally and sexually. As the sun cast its morning rays through the window, causing a subdued light in the room, I stretched out my body and yawned tiredly. Gavin’s arms tightened around me from behind, pulling me clo
I finally broke my kiss from her mouth and started to trail down the nape of her neck. I nibbled on her ear, kissed the sensitive spot just below the back of her ear, the one that makes her shudder with pleasure and goosebumps form on her arms and legs.My hands moved to her hair and to the buttons
Gavin’s POV“Judy’s friends are settled in the villa,” Taylor said as soon as we got back to the villa. He was standing at the entrance with the butler, Alex.My hand was still tucked in Judys, a slight blush on her cheeks that did something to my insides.“Great,” I said. “You can proceed on that o

Judy’s POV“What?” Gavin asked, his eyes dark and brewing as he stared down at Matt. “What are you talking about?”“She told me it was she who put the peanut butter in my sandwich…” Matt murmured. “She tried to kill me and everybody knew about it… right?”My heart shattered at his accusatory words.
“I need you to look into Samantha, the maid in the mansion,” he said into the phone; I assumed he was speaking to Beta Taylor. “I want a full report on everything she does. In the meantime, I’m having Judy stay in the villa, so go there and pack some of her things to bring to the Villa.”My heart sk
