Chapter 0221 Judys POV I stared at Ethan in shock ; his face was so serious , and his eyes were flaring with anger as he glared at me .<\/p>\n
He was holding my wrist so tightly that it actually hurt .<\/p>\n
But I was about to grab him and throw him to the ground ; with all my training , I knew I could take him down in a heartbeat .<\/p>\n
I never used my strength on him before because I didnt want him to feel bad about himself , but I didnt care anymore .<\/p>\n
He hurt me for the last time , I wasnt going to let him get away with this .<\/p>\n
Just as I grabbed his arm , Ethan went down , blood oozing out of his nose and his grip my wrist immediately dropping .<\/p>\n
I staggered backward , confused as to what just happened .<\/p>\n
I heard the crunch of his nose , and I knew it was broken .<\/p>\n
He yelled out a ton of different curses as he whaled on the ground , covering his bloody and broken nose .<\/p>\n
I looked up to see Beta Taylor growling at Ethan , his fist outstretched and a little red from the punch .<\/p>\n
Lay your hands on her again and the next it wont be just your nose thats broken , he spat down at Ethan .<\/p>\n
I was still in shock , not really registering what had happened until Beta Taylor looked up at me .<\/p>\n
Are you okay ? He asked me , studying my face for any potential damage .<\/p>\n
I managed to nod and then the fog lifted from my head .<\/p>\n
What are you doing here ? I asked him , my eyes narrowed .<\/p>\n
I was told to come pick you up .<\/p>\n
The paparazzi have been ruthless , and the Alpha wanted someone he trusted to get you through the crowd and to the villa .<\/p>\n
I raised my brows at him .<\/p>\n
The paparazzi ? I asked .<\/p>\n
What do they want ? They want to ask you questions about your relationship with the Alpha , Taylor said with a smirk .<\/p>\n
You should see him running around all day trying to get the stories pulled .<\/p>\n
He managed to get the paparazzi off his property earlier , but they are ruthless and keep reposting the articles , despite him getting each one pulled .<\/p>\n
Right now , they are all over the place , including the mansion youve been staying at .<\/p>\n
My heart sank .<\/p>\n
So , in other words , it wasnt safe for me to return home .<\/p>\n
You asshole , Ethan said as he continued to roll around the ground .<\/p>\n
Taylor rolled his eyes and paid him no further attention .<\/p>\n
He motioned for me to follow him .<\/p>\n
We walked to his waiting car , and I slid into the back seat .<\/p>\n
Taylor got into the front seat .<\/p>\n
Neither of us spared Ethan another look as the car sped away .<\/p>\n
As soon as we left the campus grounds , my mouth nearly dropped .<\/p>\n
Taylor wasnt kidding .<\/p>\n
The entire place was surrounded by paparazzi .<\/p>\n
They were swarming the place with their cameras , trying to get a picture of the moving car .<\/p>\n
Thankfully , the windows were tinted so none of them were able to see me .<\/p>\n
But It was still unsettling to see them all trying to peer into the window and get a glimpse .<\/p>\n
I was not the kind of person who was noticed , so this was bizarre for me .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0221 By the time we reached the villa , the paparazzi were long behind us .<\/p>\n
There were extra guards outside the front gates , keeping the paparazzi away , so I knew we were safe now .<\/p>\n
What about my tutoring session \u2026.<\/p>\n
and the film crew ? I asked as Taylor parked the car .<\/p>\n
The film crew finished up earlier today , he told me .<\/p>\n
Youll have your tutoring session here .<\/p>\n
Its not safe to return to the mansion just yet .<\/p>\n
Gavin spent the day working on it , Gavin was waiting inside when we entered and the flash of relief that went across his eyes didnt go unnoticed by me .<\/p>\n
But I was too wound up to find it too sentimental right now .<\/p>\n
Im working on it , he assured me before I could utter a single word .<\/p>\n
If I have to break every single camera of theirs , I will .<\/p>\n
Taylor already told me everything .<\/p>\n
Im sure that wont be necessary , I told him .<\/p>\n
But who took that photo in the first place ? That was the one thing thats been bothering me all day ; someone was outside of the mansion and snapped that photo .<\/p>\n
The thought left me feeling unsettled .<\/p>\n
Gavin shook his head .<\/p>\n
I dont know , he told me .<\/p>\n
But Ill find out and then Ill destroy their phone too .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I smiled , unable to help myself .<\/p>\n
He can be so adorable sometimes .<\/p>\n
I would have told him that if pack gammas and the Beta didnt surround us .<\/p>\n
Is Matt in the parlor already ? I asked , looking around to see if I could get a glimpse of him .<\/p>\n
Yes , Gavin replied .<\/p>\n
By the time your tutoring session is over , itll be safe for you to return to the mansion .<\/p>\n
You have my word .<\/p>\n
I nodded , still feeling unsure , but trusting him .<\/p>\n
I stepped around him to head towards the parlor , but he grabbed my arm to stop me .<\/p>\n
My entire body lit from his touch ; warmth spread across my cheeks and an electric sensation formed where his fingers up were .<\/p>\n
Well talk later , okay ? I nibbled on my bottom lip , hoping that the others didnt see how red my face was getting .<\/p>\n
Okay , I replied before I turned and went to join Matt in the parlor .<\/p>\n
I was surprised that he was already hard at work on his homework .<\/p>\n
I raised my brows as 1 hut the door behind me .<\/p>\n
Whats all this ? I asked him , pointing towards his 3 open books , a scatter of paper , and his notebook which he was messily writing his notes in .<\/p>\n
