I nibbled on my lower lip and nodded; I didn’t want to lie to him. “Yes,” I admitted. “Are you okay?” He studied me for a moment, his eyes scanning my face to find out if I truly cared or not if he was okay. Once he got the answer he needed, he let out a breath. “Yeah… she’s going to make thin
Third Person POV Nan felt ridiculously embarrassed about getting alcohol poisoning. She had spent days locked up in her one-bedroom apartment, shielding away from the world, drinking. She’s been ignoring her best friend completely and she felt bad about that. She felt even worse when she found o
She grabbed the bag and went into the bathroom. As predicted, she found her toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste. She quickly brushed her teeth and then finished doing her business. She washed her face, grateful that Judy remembered her face wash as well. Once she was finished, she quickly put on a
Judy’s POV Things were awkward, to say the least. Chester didn’t bother answering her question; I think he was too stunned to even speak. He wasn’t prepared for Nan to ask that, and he wasn’t prepared to make that kind of decision. Despite her trying to keep the pain out of her eyes and voice, i
“So, instead, he left me? His mate?” Nan asked, her eyes growing wide as she stared up at me. “How does that make sense, Judy?” I was quiet for a moment, not really sure how to answer her. “I don’t know,” I admitted. “It’s all too much right now. I’m sorry you have to deal with this.” She sigh
Judy’s POV “You want me to go with you??” Nan asked, her eyes wide. I nodded. “Yes,” I told her. “We would only be gone for a few weeks. And I think it would do us both some good to get away for a bit.” “Are you sure?” She asked, worry and fear in her eyes. “I don’t want to impose.” “You c
Adam narrowed his eyes. “It’s kind of short notice, don’t you think?” He asked, raising his brows. I folded my arms across my chest. “I didn’t really have a lot of notice,” I told him. “But this kind of a big deal. I can’t pass up the opportunity.” After a brief pause, Adam nodded. “I’ll l
Judy’s POV I was stunned by her words and I slowly turned to look at her. She was looking anywhere but at me. Her hands fidgeted with the ends of her blouse and her breathing was heavier than usual. “What?” I asked her, narrowing my eyes. “I think he’s cheating on me,” she repeated, her tone b
“What is it?” Alex finally asked after a long while of silence.“I need to call my father,” Irene said, still in a daze.She grabbed her phone and swiped across the screen until she got to Gavin’s contact number. Then she pressed the call button, her breathing shaky. She’s hoping that her tone doesn
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
I gave him a sad smile.“I think over time he will learn to forgive her,” I told him honestly. “It’s not something to rush, though. You just found out something devastating, and it’s going to take time. You need to sit with it for the time being, but also remember that there are people who love you
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
