“I do love her, sir,” Ethan said, bowing his head in my direction. “I would never do anything to hurt her.”“I took Judy on a date last night; Ethan and Irene happened to be at the same restaurant. He was staring at her the entire time,” Walter said through his teeth.I wasn’t expecting Walter to op
Judy’s POVI wasn’t really sure what I was expecting, but an actual light show gallery was not it. The entire event was busy with people, and it was completely outside. It was the most spectacular thing I had ever witnessed. There was a ton of artwork created by packmates from all over, and the work
Some even started to dance with their partners as well.“You speak pretty words, Mr. Landry,” I teased as he twirled me around again. This time he twirled me a bit faster, and I nearly lost my footing. I had to wrap an arm around his neck to keep myself steady and it only brought my body that much c
Judy’s POV“He kissed you?!” Nan shrieked on the phone the next afternoon. I had to pull the phone away from my ear at the sound of her loud voice.“Yes,” I told her. “It was unexpected.”The Uber driver parked the car outside of Gavin’s villa. I thanked him before handing him his tip and got out of
My heart lightened a little; I felt bad for her. She had no idea about the cruel jerk she was engaged to, but maybe she would start to understand things on her own. I brushed the thought out of my head; it wasn’t my problem or concern. I was here to do a job and that was it. My main focus was on my
Judy’s POVI was momentarily stunned by his words. Did he really think I was so cruel and conniving that I would purposely hurt someone to get what I wanted? The only thing I wanted was to work hard and pay off my father’s debt, I wasn’t looking for anything and I certainly didn’t want to hurt anyon
“No,” she told me, her tone softening. “Honestly, I wanted to hang out with you, because I wanted to talk. I needed someone to talk to and I need to reassure myself that it’s all in my head.”“What’s on your mind?” I asked her.She bit her lower lip and stared at her hands.“Not here,” she finally s
Judy’s POV“Ugh, you brought your slimy friend with you? This isn’t a thrift store,” the woman hissed. “I’m calling secur—” Before she could finish her sentence, the manager grabbed her arm and yanked her away from us. She nearly fell to the ground from the force.Her startled eyes darted around the
“I… I apologize,” Taylor said, lowering his gaze. “It was an oversight, and it won’t happen again. I’ll make sure it’s fixed by the end of today.” “What good does that do me now??” Gavin asked, turning to face him fully, his eyes red with fury. “My son was poisoned, and we have no camera footage s
Judy’s POV This was the scariest moment of my life. When Matt took a bite of the sandwich and suddenly, he was dropping to the ground, I had no idea what to do. I had never been put in a position like this before. His entire face turned red and blew-up like a balloon as he grabbed his throat; it w
When she found the Epi-pen in its usual place, she grabbed it and put it into her back pocket, knowing she was going to need it for what she was about to do. “I’ve missed talking to you,” Judy continued as she spread the red jam on the slice of bread. “I truly do think of you as a friend, Irene.”
Judy’s POV I stared at Gavin completely dumbfounded. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice coming out breathy. “I asked you to move in with me,” he repeated, his face serene as he stared back at me. Even though he repeated it, I still wasn’t convinced I heard him correctly. “You’re jo
“It’s part of the job,” she murmured. “But exhausting. So, seriously What’s so important? You sounded urgent on the phone.” I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, tugging at the ends. “My mom is selling the house,” I blurted. “What??” Nan gasped. “Why would she do that? She loves that ho
“Okay,” I finally said after a beat of silence. “We don’t need to talk about this any further.” “Can you leave now?” She murmured. “I’m really tired.” I nodded and started to leave, but then I paused and glanced over my shoulder at her. “I thought you’d like to know that Ethan is sleeping in a
Gavin’s POV I was hesitant for a moment as I stood outside the closed door. This was ridiculous, I shouldn’t be this nervous. But I couldn’t get Judy’s words out of my head. Why would I want this for my own daughter? It was obvious Ethan wasn’t serious about his mating with her, so why should I al
He sighed and shook his head. “Not even a little bit… but Irene… she’s fragile,” Gavin murmured, shaking his own head. “Taking Ethan away from her would destroy her and I worry about what she might do if that happens. She’s my daughter and I only care about her happiness. I just hope Ethan shapes
Judy’s POV For the last couple of days, the pain continued only at night. It would go on until the morning, but with Gavin holding me almost every night, it wasn’t as bad. I was able to get through it. It made no sense because I’ve noticed Irene around the mansion, she’s been avoiding me… ignoring
