“Please,” she whispered, breathing hard. “It hurts.”
“How did this happen?”
She shook her head. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Did someone do this to you?” A sliver of anxiety snaked around my chest. I knew people at campus were taunting her about the video but was anyone hurting her over it?
I didn’t like the idea of someone hurting her. Yes, I wanted to hurt her, but it had to be on my terms and in a way I deemed fit. Other than me and my brothers, no one else had any right to touch her.
A loud sob escaped her. “What do you want from me?” she asked in a choked voice. “Will you be satisfied when you’ve killed me?”
My arm went around her waist, bringing her against me. I mashed my mouth against hers, kissing her forcibly while she pounded her fist on my shoulder.
She needed to know how I felt. I didn’t want her life. I wantedher.
She looked on the verge of breaking down into tears when I broke the kiss.
I loosened my hold on her wrist but quickly grabbed her other hand. There was no way I was letting her go without learning how she’d gotten hurt.
“Let me go,” she said, glaring at me despite the angry tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Tell me who hurt you.”
“You did,” she hissed. “Your plan is working perfectly. They think I’m nothing but a whore. Everyone wants a piece of my cheap ass.”
I felt like someone splashed a bucket of icy water on me. Had someone already laid a hand on her? A fierce emotion crashed through me.
“Tell me who hurt you,” I said in a low, seething voice.
“You did,” she replied back stubbornly.
I pulled her closer, breathing down her face. “Tell me or I’ll really hurt you, Milla.”
“Fuck you.”
“Milla...” Her name was a growl on my lips.
The loud sound of someone clearing their throat made me look up.Fuck, I cursed internally as my gaze landed on Mr. Jenkins, the old geezer that worked for my dad.
“Is everything okay here?” Jenkins asked, looking from me to Milla.
She was hurriedly brushing her hands over her face, wiping her tears away. “It’s fine, Mr. Jenkins,” she said in a shaky voice. “I was just upset over something stupid.”
I didn’t care to explain anything to the fucker who interrupted me. Still, I had to reluctantly step away from Milla.
“I’ll leave you to discuss your business,” I said in a nonchalant tone and walked away from her.

A pained moan escaped me as I tenderly rubbed a dollop of aloe gel on my blistered hand and wrist. The cool jelly was soothing, relieving some of my pain.
I was finally back in my apartment. A sigh of relief escaped me as I thought of the moment when Mr. Jenkins walked in on me and Noah. The elderly lawyer was right on time before Noah could force an answer out of me.
His presence drove Noah out of the room. After making sure I was fine, he proceeded to get my signatures on some bank papers.
When we were done, I asked him if he could drive me to my apartment. Mr. Jenkins readily agreed without asking me any questions. Thanks to him, I was finally home without having to see Noah again.
