**Chapter 0063**<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go of me,\u201d I hissed through clenched teeth, my voice barely above a whisper, yet laced with an unmistakable edge of defiance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen will you stop pretending you don\u2019t have feelings for me, Judy?\u201d Ethan\u2019s voice dripped with a sultry undertone, his dark eyes smoldering with an intensity that sent an icy shiver racing up my spine. It was as if he could see right through the walls I had built around my heart, and it terrified me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you still want me,\u201d he continued, his confidence unwavering.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn your dreams, Ethan,\u201d I muttered, yanking my arm free from his grasp with a sudden surge of determination. The moment I felt the cool air against my skin, I relished the small victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdmit it, you were watching us with those jealous eyes,\u201d he said, his fingers curling around my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. There was a challenge in his eyes, a dare that made my heart race for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was merely observing your display,\u201d I replied, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me. \u201cIt was unsettling and completely uncalled for, especially with her little brother around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ethan let out a mocking laugh that echoed in the quiet room. \u201cDon\u2019t pretend to care about the little brat,\u201d he sneered, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. \u201cWe both know you\u2019re just using him to get into Gavin\u2019s pants.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words struck a nerve, igniting a fire within me. \u201cYou have no idea what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d I shot back, pushing his hand away from my face with a force that surprised even me.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t pretend you aren\u2019t deceitful, Judy,\u201d he retorted, his voice dripping with disdain.<\/p>\n
I narrowed my eyes, my lips pressing into a thin line as I fought to keep my composure. \u201cYou want to talk about deceit, Ethan? How about you explain how my dean found out about my dyslexia?\u201d The moment the words left my mouth, I saw a flicker of recognition flash across his face, and it confirmed my worst fears.<\/p>\n
He knew exactly what I was referring to; he was the one who had orchestrated this betrayal. My heart sank as the realization settled in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d he said, straightening his posture, but the defiance in his eyes was telling. \u201cYou\u2019re just talking nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n
I furrowed my brows in disbelief. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m the one speaking nonsense,\u201d I replied, shaking my head incredulously. \u201cYou told the dean about my dyslexia, and then he informed all my professors. You\u2019re the reason they\u2019ve been treating me poorly all day!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStop making things up, Judy,\u201d he growled, stepping closer, his presence looming over me like a dark cloud.<\/p>\n
It was painfully obvious he would never admit the truth. I felt a wave of hatred wash over me for his audacity to involve himself in my education. He had no right to meddle in my personal affairs, yet he had taken it upon himself to discuss something so intimate with my dean, shattering my trust.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t even need to be at this school,\u201d he continued, his tone dismissive. \u201cWhat are you learning there that you can\u2019t learn in the outside world? It\u2019s pointless and a waste of money. The professors are incompetent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome with me to the house I bought for you, Judy,\u201d he insisted, his grip tightening around my arm, to the point where it bordered on painful.<\/p>\n
I was taken aback by his audacity, especially in the middle of Gavin\u2019s parlor, where his fianc\u00e9e was just a room away. She could walk in at any moment and witness this scene, yet Ethan seemed utterly unconcerned. Perhaps he had forgotten that she was even under the same roof.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go of me, Ethan,\u201d I said again, my voice strained as I attempted to shove his arm away, but he held on tighter, his determination unyielding.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust give in, Judy,\u201d he murmured, his other hand snaking around my waist, pushing me against the wall with an alarming force.<\/p>\n
My heart raced, panic rising in my chest like a tidal wave, and I felt trapped between him and the unforgiving wall. There was no escape, no refuge from the intensity of the moment.<\/p>\n
As he leaned in closer, I could feel his hot breath against the nape of my neck, inhaling my scent as if trying to claim me. He exhaled deeply, brushing his scent along my shoulder line, and I shuddered at the intimacy of it all.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you still want me,\u201d he whispered, his voice low and sultry, a haunting echo of what once could have been.<\/p>\n
Once, his voice had sent shivers of excitement down my spine, igniting a spark of desire within me. But now, all it brought was a wave of disgust and despair. I bit my lower lip, my instincts screaming for me to escape, to break free from his hold.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me go, Ethan,\u201d I demanded again, my tone sharper, more threatening.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t really want me to let you go, do you?\u201d he asked, his lips trailing up the sensitive skin of my neck, igniting a fury inside me that was almost blinding.<\/p>\n
Just as I prepared to shove him away with all my strength, the door to the parlor swung open, and a new, commanding presence filled the room.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell is going on here?\u201d The voice cut through the tension like a knife, and I turned to see who had entered, my heart racing with a mix of hope and dread.<\/p>\n
In that moment, as the door swung open and a new figure stepped into the parlor, I felt the weight of the world shift ever so slightly. The tension that had coiled tightly around me began to unravel, and for the first time, I sensed a glimmer of hope piercing through the suffocating darkness that Ethan had cast over me. The arrival of this unexpected savior was a reminder that I was not alone in this fight, that there were still people who cared about my well-being and who would stand up against the injustices I had faced. The fear that had gripped my heart began to dissipate, replaced by a burgeoning sense of empowerment. In that instant, I resolved to reclaim my narrative, to no longer allow Ethan\u2019s manipulations to dictate my worth or my future.<\/p>\n
As I stood there, caught between the remnants of my past and the uncertain promise of what lay ahead, I realized that this confrontation was not just about Ethan\u2019s betrayal; it was about my own journey towards self-acceptance and resilience. I had spent too long hiding behind walls of anger and hurt, but now I understood that vulnerability could be a source of strength. With each breath, I felt the ashes of my former self giving way to a new kingdom\u2014one built on authenticity, courage, and the unwavering belief that love, in its purest form, would always find a way to shine through the darkest of times. I was ready to face whatever came next, armed with the knowledge that I deserved to be treated with respect and kindness, and that I would no longer allow anyone to take that away from me.<\/p>\n
