Third Person POVLater in the evening, Irene sat curled up on the couch, staring at her phone. Ethan told her that he would call at 8 pm and now it was 9:30 pm. She tried calling him a couple of times about a half hour ago, but he didn’t answer. She texted him as well, but her messages were left unr
“Why are you asking?” He countered; his eyes narrowed in her direction.She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and nibbled on it gently as she thought about how to answer his question.Truth be told, she wasn’t sure why she wanted to know. Maybe to prove that the mate bond doesn’t matter. She’s no
Judy’s POVThe house was quiet when I returned home after having dinner at Gavin’s house. It was always quiet these days.The house felt so empty with my mother hiding away in her room, not a sound to be made. I put my coat on the hook and made my way upstairs. I paused outside of her bedroom door w
“I’ve known you for a while, Judy. You can’t bullshit me.”“What do you expect me to say, Ethan? That I’m not okay? That my mother is depressed and barely eats? Isn’t this what you wanted? For me to suffer? So, why are you acting like you care right now when we both know you don’t!”“Judy!” My mothe
Judy’s POV“Return the favor?” I asked, my heart falling deep into my stomach. “What are you talking about?”He cleared his throat and straightened his posture; the soft expression he wore for most of the day was gone completely and now it was a cold look that sent a chill down my spine. I instincti

Judy’s POV“That asshole!” Nan gasped as we stood in line at the campus coffee shop, waiting to take our orders. “I can’t believe he had the nerve to do that to you last night. And to involve your mother??”It was the next morning after Ethan came to see me and I just finished telling Nan about what
“Is Judy still here?” “I think she was going to the bathroom and then leaving,” he replied with a shrug. “Any more questions or can I return to my room?” He asked bitterly. She rolled her eyes and gestured for him to leave. The second his bedroom door closed behind him, Irene ran out of her room
Judy’s POV By the time we finished our training, the sun was already setting. I was exhausted and I wanted to return to the mansion where I could finally spend some time with Gavin. I was craving his touch and hadn’t realized how much I craved him until I felt his fingers on my arm earlier today.
Matt looked up at me and a grin spread across his face. “I wanted to get this done quickly so we can spar outside!” He told me. “I kind of wish we were still at the mansion though. I liked it over there.” “Your father thinks it’s better if we worked here because of the paparazzi. Until he takes
Judy’s POV I stared at Ethan in shock; his face was so serious, and his eyes were flaring with anger as he glared at me. He was holding my wrist so tightly that it actually hurt. But I was about to grab him and throw him to the ground; with all my training, I knew I could take him down in a heartb

Third Person POV Skyla stood shell-shocked by Gavin’s words. Had she heard him correctly? Was he confirming his relationship with Judy? She only thought that it was a fling. Nothing that Irene had said indicated that her father was in a serious relationship. Her cheeks were burning with heat as th
But seeming the filming was about to wrap up soon, I promised Chanse I would be there at least for the next couple of days. “Oh, hello, Daddy,” Irene said as she reached the bottom step. “You were gone all night. Everything okay?” I ran my fingers through my still-wet hair and nodded. “Yeah, I
Gavin’s POV I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around my waste. By the time I left the bathroom, Judy wasn’t in bed anymore. I frowned at the messy bed and glanced around the room; my brows furrowed. I hadn’t even realized she was awake. I grabbed my clothes and quickly
Fury climbed its way through Irene’s chest as she clutched her phone tightly. She needed Judy to get out of that mansion; she was only doing this so she could weasel her way back into Ethan’s life and by the looks of things… it was working. She knew people in the media, and she knew if word got ou
