“You should have told me that you were pregnant,” he finally spoke after what felt like an eternity.
I nodded, my eyes shifting to the ground.
“I know. I—”
“It was stupid and dangerous for you to continue working knowing about your pregnancy. If I had known, I would have pulled you from that post,” he said, shaking his head. “Did you know that you were pregnant when you were caught up in that explosion?”
I knew he already knew the answer, so lying would be pointless and possibly dangerous.
“Yes,” I whispered, tears filling my eyes before I could stop them.
These stupid hormones were out of control.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
His question made me look up at him; there was a hint of hurt and vulnerability behind his tone that made my chest squeeze painfully.
“I was worried you’d fire me,” I admitted. “I just got here, and I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I had something to prove…. I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. I’m so sorry.”
He was quiet as he processed my words; he leaned back in his seat and sighed.
“I wouldn’t have fired you, Judy. I would have put you on maternity leave until you were capable of resuming your duties. You have been here for a short while, but you are an exceptional addition to the force. You’ve proved yourself early on, and you’re making a name for yourself. It would be a shame to lose you. But I need to be able to trust you, Judy. Lying to me was not the way to go about this.”
“I know,” I said softly. “And I’m sorry for that. I was going to tell you… But I was scared. I was a coward.”

Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....

You can tell this book was written by a man trying to think like a woman. There are so many plot holes and loose ends. They’re clearly dragging it on way more than they should as a money grab. And now we’re in for probably 50 more chapters while they hunt her down. I’m sure someone will end up drugged and SA’d by the end of it. So frustrating that we’re reading in circles. I’m out....
Same! Short chapters going backwards now!...
