[Liam’s POV]
Of all the possible reasons why Ella had not been in class, that had been the absolute last on my list.
Even after I forced myself to leave her to rest, I felt myself seething with rage from having been left in the dark on a matter as horrible as this. Why hadn’t Ella come to me as soon as she was safe?
It was bad enough that I had to live with the fact that Arthur had been the one to save her. Call it pride, I didn’t care. It bothered me beyond comprehension that I wasn’t even made aware of such an assault after it happened.
It made me wonder how right I was to worry about Arthur getting close to Ella. I knew I should have been happy for the fact that she had been protected and was now safe. But the mere notion wasn’t enough to allow me to let it all go.
