Julius's POVI opened my eyes feeling fully rested for the first time in years. I looked down at Vera who laid on my chest with her hair sprawled on her face. I watched her beautiful face. She looked like an angel sleeping. I tucked the hair behind her ear, away from her face and stroked her cheek. I could wake up to this face every morning.

Julius's POV"What the fuck happened! "Aldonis was the first person I met in the living room after practically driving home like a maniac. "She's upstairs boss"It was killing me how he didn't say anything ,but I didn't have time to strangle him right now . My heart raced and I needed to make sure Vera was okay. I rushed into my room to see Lexi seating beside Vera on the bed. I looked at Vera as she was sitted under the covers looking sick. I rushed over to her dropping everything from my suit jacket to my keys on the chair on my way to her"Doll what happened? "I took Lexi's position as she left the room to give us some privacy.

Julius's POVEverything changed after that encounter. Vera has been withdrawn from everyone for the past two weeks. She doesn't talk to anyone. She doesn't open her doorI wanted to kill Nina for telling Vera the way she did. I had been aware ever since the party but her parents made me promise not to tell her that they would do so themselves. But that bitch Nina had to come and ruine everything. She broke my Vera. My doll. After a few minutes of Vera crying her heart out into my shirt and shaking,she stood up with an emotionless look on her face and walked into her room locking the door behind her, and that was how it stayed.
