Judy's POV

I don't remember leaving the villa; I don't remember getting into my car. I have no idea how I managed to go from the villa back to my parents' house. Everything was such a blur. I was in a daze when I got out of my car. My mother immediately ran out of the house, tears in her eyes and a horrified look on her face. My father stood at the doorway, his expression hard to read.

I knew without a doubt that they saw the news article and I was in some deep shit.

If they revoke my win from the competition, I would lose everything I worked so hard for. My stomach was in a complete knot, and I thought I was going to get sick

on the spot.

My mother was quick to wrap me in her arms as soon as I got out of the car.

"Please tell me it's not true," she whispered as she held me tightly. "Tell me you aren't having relations with Gavin Landry."

I wasn't sure what to tell her; she would be able to see through this lie easily, and I didn't want to have to lie to her anymore. I was tired of keeping this secret from my family; I was tired of having to sneak around behind their backs just so I could have sex with Gavin. I hated that this was happening... but I needed to come clean.

Though I knew what I needed to do, the words wouldn't come to me.

"Let's just get her inside so we can talk as a family," my father said, turning his back on us and walking straight into the house.

My heart sank at his dismissive tone. My mother pulled away and wiped her moist eyes, nodding along with his words. She took my hand and pulled me along with her. Once we were inside, I felt suffocated. Like, there wasn't enough space to breathe.
