The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 152

When two men clashed over a girl, the girl's allegiance decided the victor.

"He's my friend!"

Mika stepped out from behind Lucas. Tears still glimmered in her eyes, yet she positioned herself bravely and firmly in front of him.

"Jude, I want absolutely nothing to do with you anymore. If you have even a shred of respect for me, you'll leave me alone. Do you hear me?"

Lucas stared at the slender figure defending him, his expression softening.

The festering guilt over his forced association with Seraphina surged back with a vengeance.

But Jude was beyond reasoning.

Staring at Lucas's effortless superiority, a tidal wave of bitterness washed over him.

"I'm your ex! Mika, he just assaulted me, and you're still protecting him?"

"Ex?" Lucas scoffed. He lifted his head lazily, exposing a jawline that was sharp and untamed.

"You mean the guy who dated her just to get close to her best friend?"

"That has nothing to do with you!"

A flicker of unease crossed Jude's face, yet he maintained his suffocatingly possessive stance.

"I was stupid before, but I know how to cherish her now. If she just forgives me, I swear I'll never let her suffer again!"

"You regret it, so she has to forgive you?" The contempt in Lucas's eyes deepened, bordering on lethal impatience.

"Get the hell out of here before I make you regret being born. Understood?"

Lucas wasn't known for his temper. When he first started college, a girl had stalked him to confess her feelings. She crossed a line, pissed him off, and quietly dropped out. No one ever knew where she went.

Another time, a student harboring a grudge against the wealthy keyed his car under the cover of night and bragged about it in a dorm group chat.

Lucas dragged him onto the campus track and broke three of his ribs in broad daylight. The school immediately issued a disciplinary notice, but Xavier paid to have it scrubbed within the hour.

That guy, however, wasn't so lucky. Photos of his battered, bloody state stayed pinned to the top of the school forum for a month.
