Judy’s POV “Judy! We are so glad you decided to move in as well,” Meredith said as she greeted us at the doorway. Kelsey was also there with her arms folded across her chest and she was glaring at me. I tried hard to not look her in the eyes. This was the last place I wanted to be and the less I h
Without saying a word to me, Kelsey tipped her nose up and walked straight towards the staircase. We walked around the curvy hallway until we reached the door at the end. She pushed the door open, and I nearly vomited from the smell alone. It was also incredibly dark; when she flipped on the light,
“If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking,” I said exasperated. “Talk to me, Matt,” I said more softly as I walked closer to his bed. “Why are you upset with me?” Matt swallowed and I could see the moisture in his eyes; it broke my heart. Whatever was wrong… it was serious. “What did you say to Judy that
Third Person POV “What do you mean you found the perpetrator?” Gavin asked through the mindlink. He glanced at Matt who was still lost in thought. Had he lied to him? Matt has never lied before… has he? “It was a maid,” Taylor continued. “She was found with the peanut butter in her room. The s
I shrugged and chewed the inside of my cheek. “I don’t think she really notices how bad things are for me,” I admitted. “When I tried to talk to her about it, she told me that I need to be grateful to the Cash family and I shouldn’t complain too much.” Nan rolled her eyes. “She’s completely bl
Gavin’s POV “Every last maid was investigated, sir,” one of my gammas informed me. “They knew nothing about the crime and was astonished she would do such a thing. None of them will vouge for her though, fearing banishment.” I nodded and tapped my fingers on my desk. “And that maid is gone?”
A knot formed in the pit of my stomach as I stared at my Beta. “Then, where is she??” “She moved into the Cash family manor,” Taylor blurted. Fury boiled through me; over my dead body will I allow Judy to continue living in that mansion. Not after the way they treated her the last time we were t
Raymond entered the room shortly after and whispered something to one of the maids. She nodded and went with a few others towards the kitchen. “Sorry for the delay. She’s going to start bringing out our meal now,” Raymond said as he took his seat at the head of the table. I frowned. “But not e
She let out a loud laugh, cutting off my words. “Oh, you mean the mother who just signed a contract to be our live-in maid for the next unforeseen future?” She asked, folding her arms across her chest. “Now, you’re a maid’s daughter, which is even worse than what you currently are. It won’t be lon
Gavin’s POV After Judy went back to her room, I returned to the parlor where Richard was speaking with his wife. They both looked nervous as they discussed what they were going to do if I did happen to pull my funding. Without my funding, they would go bankrupt, and they would lose almost everythi
At least not right now. My mother could read my expression, and her gaze softened. “It wasn’t fair of me to ask you to get Ethan’s help, and it wouldn’t be fair of me to ask you to get Gavin’s help. So, I’m doing my part and trying to get help without making our family look pathetic,” she explai
Judy’s POV I was about to protest that I couldn’t just leave with him without others being suspicious. But before I could utter a single word, there was a knock on the door. My entire body tensed, and I felt my cheeks burning hot. Gavin didn’t seem to be as worried because he backed away from me a
She was trembling and keeping her eyes on her open wound. I wrapped my arms around her, hating how tense she was from my touch. I pulled her into me and lifted her into my arms. She sucked in a sharp breath as she held onto me with her good hand and carefully positioned her injured hand away so she
Judy’s POV My stomach was growling angrily. I hadn’t eaten much other than scraps in days. When Kelsey came to get me and told me to come to the dining hall, I thought I was going to finally get some decent food. But I was sorely disappointed when I saw that they had already eaten and left not eve
