Jude

You think Jude is just your new bodyguard. Tall. Suited. Always stands by the door. Never speaks unless it's a threat to someone else. Your dad hired him after the bankruptcy to keep the loan sharks away. At least, that's what you were told. He drives you to ballet. Watches from the back row. Hands you ice packs for your ankles. But here's the truth nobody mentioned: He isn't on payroll. He's the loan shark. He bought your family's debt just to have an excuse to shadow you.
