Chapter 0256
Judy's POV
| was stunned by her words and 1 slowly turned to look at her. She was looking anywhere but at me. Her hands
fidgeted with the ends of her blouse and her breathing was heavier than usual.
“What?” | asked her, narrowing my eyes.
“I think he’s cheating on me,” she repeated, her tone breathy. | thought she was about to go into a panic attack.
“I went to his house because | had barely seen him in days and there was a woman standing outside his house.
She looked like she was going to knock, but when she saw me, she left.”
“A woman?” | asked, my chest twisting “Do you know who it was?”
Irene shook her head.
“No, I've never seen her before.”

“What did she look like?” | asked.
Irene thought about it for a moment, a clouded expression falling over her face as realization consumed her. She
narrowed her eyes at me, that bitter look I've gotten accustomed to these last few weeks returning to her face. It
was as if she had just remembered who she was speaking to and now her guard was back up.
The look was so deadly and out of pocket that I instinctively took a step back.
“She looked like you,” she said bitterly. “I need to leave.”
Without another word, she walked back up the stairs.
| frowned as | stared after her.
That was strange, | thought to myself.
| brushed the thought out of my head and spent the rest of the day with Matt, tutoring him and then giving him
more combat and defense lessons. | thought Gavin would have at least made one appearance today, but he
didn’t return to the Villa. By the t| left for the evening, the sun had set, and | was exhausted.
Leroy was the one who broughthome; when | asked him if he heard from Gavin, he gavea vague answer
and said that the Alpha had been busy and that | shouldn't worry too much about him.
“Busy with what?” | asked him.
He didn’t reply, which madeeven more suspicious. Could it be because there was someone else in his life?
Was he sleeping with another woman and now he was spending all his twith her?1 thought about Skyla....
maybe he had decided to get with her after all.
The thought madesick to my stomach.
A part ofwanted to go to his office and find out what's been going on and where he’s been. But another part
ofdidn’t want to face the rejection that would inevitably come.
| decided to let it go for now and hoped that he would ctowhen he was ready.
He didn’t.
It's been a week, and he still hasn't cto me.

would tell Gavin, but | hadn't heard a thing from either of them..
| spent the entire day packing and talking on the phone with Nan who was also packing. She hadn't spoken to
Chester since that awkward car ride hand Chester hadn't mentioned anything about it either. He's been
quieter than usual, and he hasn't been spotted around Harper much.
They both drowned themselves in work and kept their heads down.
Irene hadn't spoken tosince last week; she’s been clearly avoiding me. | wondered if she was embarrassed
about what she had confessed to me. Matt was upset when | told him that today would be our last training
session for the next few weeks, but he was excited that | was nominated to participate in the Gamma
competition, and he promised to watchon TV when it was broadcast.
