Ruined by the Hockey Captain
“Denying me the privilege to taste your body is a death sentence I refuse to accept, especially since all I want is to consume you, all of you till there’s nothing left, Lady bug”…
~
Rhea Hale has spent the last four years paying for a crime she never committed.
Blamed for her twin sister’s death and forced to live in the shadow of the girl everyone loved more, Rhea has become an expert at surviving heartbreak, whispers, and loneliness. The only thing keeping her together is the small circle of people who still believe in her innocence.
Until the night she catches her boyfriend cheating with her best friend.
Humiliated and desperate for a fresh start, Rhea heads to Westbridge University determined to keep her head down and make it through the year unnoticed.
That plan is ruined the moment she’s forced to share a dorm with Zander Cole—the university’s hockey captain.
Grey-eyed menace with a reputation as cold as the ice he dominates.
Zander doesn’t do attachments, and he definitely doesn’t do broken girls. But when his bad reputation threatens his hockey future, he proposes a deal that could save them both:
Fake date him for six months, help repair his image, and in return, he’ll make sure no one touches her… well, except him.
It should have been simple.
Except pretending quickly turns dangerous when stolen kisses become addictive, jealousy turns possessive, and the boy who was supposed to protect her becomes the only one capable of completely ruining her.
In a story filled with lies, betrayal, and buried truths, Rhea is about to discover that some secrets were never meant to stay hidden...

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN~RHEA~ My eyes widened as soon as I saw Zander. What was he doing here?“Have you been crying, Rhea?” He questioned softly as he reached out to touch my cheeks but I slapped his hand away and took a step back.I placed my hoodie back on my head before meeting his gaze again.“No, I have allergies” I lied through my teeth.Last night was horrible. I had cried so much after seeing Heather with Sienna that I lost my voice for a second.I tried calling her again, messaging her again but still no response. With everything going on, I was literally a mess right now but I couldn't let Zander know that.“I have another class to get to…”“You're lying to me. Again” Zander pointed out with a frown and I tensed up.“Zander…”“Tell me the truth, what's going on?” He asked softly as he moved closer but I took a step back.“I've told you the truth and you have no right to question me anymore. You're not my boyfriend” I choked out and his face fell instantly.We stared at each other in silence be

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX~ZANDER~The puck barely left my stick before I slammed into one of the guys on the opposite team.Hard.He stumbled against the boards, turning toward me with a glare.“What the hell was that?”I shoved my gloves against his chest. “You got a problem?”“Zander!” Mason shouted from across the ice.I ignored him.The guy pushed me back, and I immediately stepped forward, ready to hit him again.“Cole!”Coach Jones’s voice finally cut through the noise and I turned toward him, breathing heavily.He was standing at the edge of the ice with his arms crossed, his expression already telling me he wasn’t impressed.“Back off.”“He started it,” I muttered.“I don’t care who started it. You’re looking for a fight.”I clenched my jaw.Maybe I was but everything was getting under my skin. Every missed pass, every hit, every little comment felt like an excuse to let out everything I was holding inside.Coach pointed toward the bench.“Go cool down.”“I’m fine.”“You’re anything but fine.” His voi

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE~RHEA~ “We are here miss”I lifted my head up from the car door and glanced out the window.My eyes felt so swollen, I could barely keep them open. As I stared at the girls only dorm in front of me, I almost felt like throwing up.In the past, I would love to stay in a dorm as big and beautiful as this. In fact, this would have been my dream dorm but now, it just looked like a prison.My eyes narrowed slightly when I saw Chase's car parked in front of the door.That bastard.“Thank you” I murmured softly as I paid the driver before climbing out of the car, taking my luggage with me.Immediately, Chase got out of his car just as the driver drove away and I glared at him.“You already got what you wanted. Why are you here?” I asked as I tried to brush past him but he blocked my path.“I could have picked you up” He said as he tried to reach for my luggage but I swerved it out of his reach.“I would rather snap my own neck than be in the same space as you” I muttered coldly and he fro

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR~RHEA~ My hands were shaking as I shoved my clothes into my luggage in an attempt to avoid looking at Zander.I had been avoiding his calls because I wasn't sure if I could hold myself back from crying if I stood before him and I had been hoping I would be gone before he got back but fate had other plans.“You're leaving? Where? Are you going on a trip or something?” He asked as he walked closer to me.I could feel him standing directly behind me but I didn't turn around.“No, I'm leaving. I got my own dorm now so I don't want to burden you anymore” I said as calmly as I could.Zander went silent for a while before he let out a chuckle.“You must be joking with me right now” He stated but instead of responding, I zipped up my luggage and placed it on the floor.“Thank you for accommodating me and I'll find a way to repay you in the future…”“What are you saying right now? Is this some sort of sick joke? Because it's not funny” I closed my eyes in order to reign in my emotions. I w

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE~ZANDER~ “Go again, Zander” Coach Jones shouted from the bench, and the sharp scrape of my skates against the ice echoed through the rink as I chased after the puck.“Come on, Zander. Where is your head at?” Coach yelled, and I tightened my hold on the stick as I tried to force all thoughts of Rhea out of my head, but it wasn't working.God, It was ridiculous how worried I was about her.“Take a break, Zander, and pull yourself together” Coach shouted, and I immediately stopped as he blew on his whistle.“Out of the ice now” He ordered, and I let out a sigh as I took off my gloves and helmet as I skated towards the bench.“Whatever that was, I want it fixed immediately” Coach uttered, and I watched him walk away as I took several long gulps with sweat dripping down the side of my face.“You okay, buddy?” Mason questioned as he skated over and sat beside me.“I guess by how horrible I was just now, no, I'm not” I muttered, and he sighed.“After seeing the video of Rhea's mother scre

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO~RHEA~ I woke up the next morning feeling like I had been hit in the head with a brick.“Rhea”I turned my head to the sound of Zander's voice and he was staring down at me with a worried look on his face.He reached out to caress my cheek.“Are you okay? Do you feel better?” He asked gently and I glanced around and noticed I was laying on his bed.“What happened?” I questioned as I tried to sit up. He immediately helped me out.“You fainted due to emotional stress. I called a doctor and he said you just needed to rest” He informed me as he stood up from the bed.“I'll go grab you water” He added and I watched as he walked away before letting out a sigh.memories of my mother last night came rushing back and a frown adorned my face.What did she really want from me?Zander walked back in with a glass of water and as soon as the water touched my throat, a satisfied moan escaped my lips.I needed that.“What's the time?” I asked as I handed the glass cup back to him.“It's 12 noon ri
