The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 123

Chapter 0123 Judys POV I could feel my cheek swelling from the force and the cat in my lip dripping with blood .

The moment he saw the blood on my face , I could see the horror in his eyes .

He released me quickly and stepped back , holding up his hands .

The motion of him holding up his hands though caused me to flinch , which caused hurt to flash in his eyes .

Judy … Im- Dont touch me , I said through my teeth , my voice coming out unfamiliar .

Im … Im so sorry … he said , covering his face with his hands .

I didnt mean to hurt you ….

Just leave … I said , desperate to hold back these tears until he was gone .

He didnt keep me waiting long , he said nothing more as he turned and ran from me .

The moment he was out of sight , I let myself crumble .

Tears flowed down my cheeks , stinging the wound on my lip .

I touched my swollen cheek with my fingertips and winced .

Thankfully , there were no witnesses , but I wasnt going to stick around long enough for anyone to come outside and see my situati I quickly hurried from the back patio .

I didnt bother going back inside ; I thought about saying goodbye to Irene , but the moment she saw my face , she would be questioning me , and I couldnt answer those questions right now .

My entire body was trembling as I made my way around the front of the building .

Walter was my ride and there was no way in hell I was going to find him and have him bring me home .

I reached into my purse and grabbed my phone .

I was about to call for an Uber but then I heard my name and my entire body froze .

Judy ? I knew that voice as if it were my own and I was dreading facing him right now .

I couldnt seem to keep the tears from flowing down my cheeks .

I kept my back towards him , not wanting him to see me weak like this .

I heard the car door opening and then shutting , soon , I was engulfed in the familiar scent as I felt his hands on my shoulders , Electricity pulsated through my flesh from his touch , and I hated that I was drawn to him like this .

What happened ? Gavin asked , his dark tone brewing .
