All Chapters of Resisting My Ex-Bully: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

KILLIAN“Your mother doesn't believe us,” was all Josie said when she exited my mother's study.She was pale, her hands were trembling, and it was clear my mother had done something to intimidate her, but no matter how many times I asked, she remained silent. She stayed that way—silent and pale—on the way back to the penthouse.“I knew I shouldn't have left you there alone with her.” I dragged my hand down my face and cursed.“She would have found another way to meet with me then,” Josie murmured, staring blankly through the side window.I grabbed her hand and squeezed it. “Talk to me, Josie. I need to know everything she told you.”Her throat worked on a swallow. “Please… not now.” She glanced at the driver and then returned to staring through the window.I hated not knowing, but I understood she might not feel comfortable here. I could press the button and pull up the privacy glass, but I doubted she kept silent only because of the driver.Her state didn't improve after we returned

KILLIANTony's words swirled in my head long after our call had ended. A few rumors had ruined Josie's life and even led to her father's death. Tony tried to find the source of those rumors, but even with his skills, he found no evidence. It was obvious that someone must have worked hard to cover it, which only confirmed my suspicions that the rumors had come from one of the students at my old high school.The high school I went to wasn't just an ordinary private school. That particular one, Flower Hills Private High School, had been founded by my grandfather, Joshua Blair. All the students there were either rich, powerful, brilliant, or all three at once. Of course, that filled the school with rich assholes—mostly dumb assholes—but the school also had a scholarship program. Josie was one of the brilliant kids who received the full scholarship, while I was one of the assholes who practically owned that school.My friends' parents were either wealthy owners of various companies, invest

Us. This one word sounded surreal. Dylan was my ex-boyfriend and was supposed to be my problem, but somehow, I knew that Killian would never leave me alone with this mess. Of course, I was well aware of the fact he hated Mr. Grant Ricardson's guts. He would have never missed an opportunity to crush him. Still, he was mainly engaging in all this for me…Killian told me to focus on my recovery while he and Mr. Morgan were going to prepare us to battle against Dylan and Mr. Ricardson. I tried to object, but I also knew I was no help in my current state. Unfortunately, this case came up at the worst possible moment. I still had to find the right time to tell Killian about my past before Adeline made her move, and the clock was ticking…“Maybe you should call him and tell him you need to talk,” Ashley suggested. With Killian busy talking to his lawyers about the potential strategies, I constantly had the twins or someone from my team visiting me in the hospital.I shook my head. “I can't i

KILLIANJosie's chest rose and fell as she stared at me. A glossy layer of tears coated her eyes. “Thank you,” she murmured, lowering her head.I grabbed her chin, lifting it until our eyes leveled. “Tell me about everything that happened after I left for England.”She bit her lower lip and nodded. Her trembling hand reached for the glass, and she took a few greedy gulps before putting the glass away. “Actually, I'd like to start my story a little earlier... You should know what happened after I saw you in that classroom with your girlfriend.”I didn't want to go back that far, but I realized it was time I finally heard her version of the story. I drew a deep breath and nodded. “Fine. Tell me.”She cleared her throat. “Despite what you believed back then, I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about what I saw. I kept it to myself, but…” She trailed off, nibbling on her lip.“But?” I urged.Her eyes met mine. “The next day, a girl I didn't know caught me when I was walking to my class.

KILLIANI was looking at the beautiful blue of Josie's eyes, the blush gently appearing on her cheeks, and her parted lips. I saw her chest heaving and falling faster. I felt her fingers restlessly tangling in her grip on my neck. I knew she wanted me, but I also knew she was scared, and I didn't want her to run away from me again.As I debated whether or not I should screw the waiting, rip her clothes off, and kiss her senseless, the telephone ring made that decision for me, thoroughly crushing our rather intense moment. It wouldn't be the first time trouble at the company dragged me away from her. I even began to think someone had cursed me… and I would have a potential suspect in that matter. This time, however, I kept Josie by my side. I felt less anxious when I had her within my sight. Besides, I found her presence amazingly soothing.She was tired and quickly fell asleep on my sofa while I worked at my computer, taking care of the most urgent matters. When I finished, I removed
