Marked By The Ruthless Hockey Captain
One rule, the golden fucking rule of Apex Crest Academy, don’t get noticed by Knox Cole.
The day I broke it, the moment I stood up and defended my best friend.
Knox Cole noticed me.
I became his target.
A possession.
Marked by the devil himself.
***
Being a scholarship kid didn’t help Finn’s case in a prestigious school like Apex Crest Academy. In a world where money, power and secrets are tools of exchange, Finn finds himself lost, trying to navigate through the tunnels of attention, fame and lust.
The plan was simple: get a decree and fight his way into an Ivy League College. But destiny and fate don’t always play by the rules. All it took was a minute of bravery, and Finn was doomed.
Knox Cole doesn’t accept escape routes.
Hockey captain, an untouchable legacy. Knox doesn’t ask; he takes, controls, and when he is done, he ruins. When Finn stands up to him, challenging his authority, Knox doesn’t destroy. He plots. He watches.
The school bends, closing in on Finn, making his world slowly dark. Knox offers a way out, a deal wrapped in danger.
How would Finn fight the man who breaks him, yet gives him kisses that make him want to never be saved?
When the closet opens, and secrets spill, will Finn stand, or will he run to save the one dream he has always had?
Finn must decide: survive the boy that had chosen him, or surrender to something darker, scarier.
Because in Knox’s world, love isn’t given.
It is taken, controlled.

Chapter: Chapter 103Finn’s povI ended the call and slipped the phone into my pocket. Once I turned my head up, I caught his gaze. He wanted to know what my mom had said so badly, and I knew it. He was about to speak when I interrupted.“She said yes. She agreed to the sleepover,” I replied as though I was sure that was what he wanted to ask about. That was what he was anticipating.I followed my reply with a smile as I was relieved Mom consented and then it turned into a quick chuckle. He grinned. “Told you she would” he said smiling back at him.I was so excited. At least, I got to stay one day away from home away from Knox who I wasn't sure was there. I really anticipated the experience. “Staying out will indeed be relieving for you,” Jason said. It was always as though he invaded my thoughts every single time. I turned to him and gave him a sweet nod. “It's gonna be fun right?” I asked even though I knew what it'd be like. “Let’s go home,” he replied after a short pause as he moved forward to p

Chapter: Chapter 102 Finn’s PovHe paid for our taxi and I felt weird, so I kept quiet, blanking into space until I saw his expression. His expression was dark and the way he stared at me showed there was a lot involved. “Are you okay?” He rested his hand on my knee and then flashed me a smile. “Yes. I'm just a bit overwhelmed. I didn't expect you to actually be here. You saved me.” “He was trying to harass me and if you hadn't shown up I would have been accused of being a thief.” “Thank God that didn't happen. I didn't know what I would have done if I had heard that you…. You were labelled as a thief.” I sighed. “It's the daily struggle of being poor. People never believed that you're someone who has the ability to make money. I can't wait to do well for myself.” He smiled. “I know you will. I believe in you.” Then he turned away from me. “Was Knox the one who

Chapter: Chapter 101Finn’s Pov“Gone?” I shook my head, picking up the note because I thought my mind was messing with me in the first place. I stared at the written words, going over it again and again then I scoffed, folding the paper into a round shape before tossing it into the trash can. I hated the fact that he wrote to me. If he left them it was good. I would get him a new phone and break up with him through text. He didn't deserve to set eyes on me when I broke up with him. I frowned, but walked over to the place where I kept the money he had given me. I pulled open the drawer and picked it up, then I noticed my SIM card was placed close to the bed. “Stupid bastard.” I picked up my SIM card and headed straight to the door. I needed to get a new phone and fast. I headed into town, using public transport because I couldn't walk all the way. Besides, I needed to be back to make dinner because Mom wou

Chapter: Chapter 100Finn’s PovI slowly blinked my eyes, my brows furrowed, and my eyes squinted as I slowly started to push myself up from the hard floor I had slept on last night. My body ached, but I woke up to notice that Knox was seated next to me. His back was turned towards me, and he scoffed. “Who were you texting last night?” It was almost like he sensed I had woken up but waited for me to make a move before finally speaking up. “I don't understand why you're asking me that. Don't I have the right to chat with anyone I want to?” Knox snapped his head towards me and that was when I saw that my phone was in his hands. His gaze was dark and it was enough to make me shiver, but I decided to stand my ground. “You're speaking to him again. Jason, why do you keep going back to him?” I shook my head. “You're so obsessed and that's the problem I have with you. Hand me my phone!” I snapped. I c

Chapter: Chapter 99Finn’s PovI was sceptical about texting him, but within a few seconds, I sent the message and I was so nervous to see his response. Would he respond? That was something that bothered me more than I could ever imagine. I didn't know what else to think and just as I was thinking, about why he had not responded to my message, the door opened. I didn't bother to look at him, I already knew it was Knox. “How are you?” I scoffed. Why the hell was he interested in how I was doing? My brows knitted together, and I didn't care what he had to say. All I wanted was for him to leave me alone. “You're not going to respond? Are you still mad at me?” I blinked, but walked over to Crouch down close to the bed. “Are you serious?” He was stunned and moved over to where I was seated. “Get on the bed.” I scoffed. “You don't own me and you can't

Chapter: Chapter 98Jason’s PovAfter dinner, the housekeepers cleared the dishes. “I'm sorry this is coming a bit too early, but I want to rest my head a little.” I forced a yawn out of my lips. She raised her brows. “You never go to bed by this time. What's going on? Are you mad at me?” I shook my head. “No, Mom, it's not that. You know you can't even make me get mad at you. You're my favourite person. Do you know that?” She exhaled. “Maybe you're tired. What did you do today?” She wanted to know my activities. “I woke up early, exercised. Had breakfast… the regular things, Mom.” She hummed. “That's okay. You can actually go rest. I also have some work to complete so I might not stay here for a long time.” I smiled, pushing myself up from my seat. It didn't take long before I walked over to where she was seated. I leaned in and kissed her cheek. “Goodnight, Mom.” She
