Chapter 22      I watch Judah walk to Zayn's table. Zayn still stares at me. Eyes not leaving my body. I look away at once and drink Judah's bottled water. Judah leans his hands on their table as he says something. Zayn's taunting gaze moves to Judah and his smirk is gone. " What the fuck are you doing here?" I hear Judah faintly ask. " What the fuck do you expect?" Troy asks. His looks mean one thing. He hates Judah to the core. And if he's given a knife to stab Judah right now, that dude will. " Bitch, I ain't talking to you." Judah spits out. " Fuck you, man." Troy says as he glares at Judah." Be Careful what you spit out, boy." Judah warns. From where I'm sitting, I can sense the anger laced in his voice. And he isn't joking." What the fuck you're gonna do? Get mad and slam my head on a fucking counter? You'll only end up hurting your little slut right there."  

Chapter 24   " Judah?"  He clenches his hands into fists as he walks to us. Todd notices my stare as he turns to look at Judah. He let go of my hand at once. " What the fuck are you doing with her?" Judah flares at Todd. " I'm just talking to her."" You're talking to her?" Judah says as he glares at Todd.    I stand in between them and hold Judah's wrist. He's not willing to let it slide." It's not what you think." I whisper.    I notice the few eyes around the parking lot and they are staring at us." I made it clear Todd, stay the fuck away from her." Judah says through clench teeth." You're not her boyfriend, Judah." Todd says.    Oh God, can someone please listen to me. I mean what's wrong with Judah? I can't let him beat up Todd for the second time. " You wanna go back to the hospital? Cause I'll do that right no

   Chapter 26   With my earbuds plugged in my ears, I put on my running shoes and race down the sidewalk. I wave at mama Gina and don't even look at Judah's apartment. He's such an asshole. How can he play me? I mean I know what we had isn't something romantic, but that doesn't mean he had to throw it at my face after having sex with me. Not just any kind of sex. He fucking took my v-card.     I wish I knew the meaning of his words when he said he was gonna ruin me. How can he be such an asshole? And also good looking at the same time. Fuck him.      It's 6:15 am in the morning and the entire street is not yet busy. I run down the sidewalk without a care in this world. Danileigh rap music blares through my earbuds and it makes me feel good.       After I stormed out of Judah's penthouse last night. We haven't talked. He didn't call me and I didn't bother to drop a call. He's

Chapter 28                          ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥ "Father."    Is he serious?Okay, I don't have bad memories. I can literally recall him telling me his father died of an overdose, including his mom. How's Ransom is dad?    I furrow my brows and look at him as I cross my arms.  " What are you saying?" " You asked me who's Ransom to me. I told you he is a lot of things to me. He's likely a father figure which I don't value. He's a sick fuck." " Your parents died of an overdose Judah." " Yeah, I know. It's the truth." " And Ransom?" " He took me in. Brought me up and shit." He scoffs. " Wait. I don't understand." I tell him and sit on his lap. Judah wraps his arms around my waist.  " Your parents died when you were fourteen and Ransom took you in?" " Maybe." " You work wi

   Chapter 30  " Are you serious? I mean I remembered I told you I've always wanted to visit LA."   Judah smiles at me and nods." Why are you surprised?" He asks.   Maybe because I don't see you as the guy who listens. I never thought he would remember that. I wrap my arms around his torso and hug him. I hear him faintly wince as I pull back to look at him." You're okay?" I trail my eyes down his torso and I see the bandage at the side of his ribs." Oh my God, what happened to you?" I panic." Breathe, Candy, I'm fine. I'm gonna be okay."    I glare up at him. He sighs and throws his hands in surrender. I grab his forearm and lead him to the couch and make him sit down." What happened to you? Don't you dare lie to me." I ask and sit next to him.    He smiles and forces me down on his lap." You're cuter when you car
