CHOOSING MY EX'S HOCKEY RIVAL
I've spent two years loving the wrong man.
As the captain of North Crest University's hockey team, Jason Brooks was every girl's dream. To me, he became my nightmare. I stood by him through every victory, forgave every betrayal, and convinced myself that love meant enduring the pain. By the time I finally found the strength to walk away, my grades had crashed terribly, and my scholarship was hanging by a thread. What made things even crazier was finding my best friend in bed with my ex.
I thought that was the lowest point of my life. Then I accidentally crossed paths with Damien Knight, the captain of Westlake University, North Crest's biggest rival.
One unexpected encounter turned into a campus-wide scandal. Suddenly, everyone believed I had traded one hockey captain for another. The rumors spread like wildfire, my ex became obsessed with winning me back, and before I knew it, I was living under the same roof as the one man who made me feel something I'd never felt before.
But loving the captain of our biggest rival comes with a price, and some people will do anything to tear us apart.
Including the man who refuses to let me go.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4: No LongerEVELYN'S POV My mouth fell open, and for a second I just stood there, staring at him like he'd grown a second head."What?" I finally managed, my voice barely above a whisper."You heard me," Damien said, his thumb still lingering near my cheek before he pulled it back. "You could stay with me until you find somewhere more comfortable.”“And who says I'm not comfortable here?”He glanced at me for a brief moment, then retracted his gaze. “You could take one of the vacant rooms at my private suite,” he said in a low voice. “You get your private kitchen, WI-FI, a door that locks. And literally no distractions.”My mind went blank at first, then everything rushed in loud and clear.Move in with Damien Knight… The same guy the whole school already thinks I’m dating? I’d literally be handing them gasoline and a match.“I… I can’t,” I stammered, hugging my bag tighter. “People already think—”“That you and I are a thing?” He finished for me, and a corner of his mouth lifted in an unbothe

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: Come Stay With MeEVELYN'S POVI paced back and forth across my room, biting my finger, as my encounter with Damien replayed in my head."I'm not falling for this guy, right?" I asked no one in particular, then bit down so hard on my finger that I drew blood.Eventually, after tiring my legs out, I crashed into my chair and picked up my philosophy textbook to study. Just as I started studying, the moaning started again. I slammed my palm against my face and let out a muffled cry. I was about to hit the demarcation, but my phone started buzzing. I paused, then glanced at my phone before picking it up.“Lilly,” I muttered, clenching my jaw. “Now is not a good time.”There were a few seconds of silence before she finally responded. “Oh… now I get why you're in a foul mood.”“What do you want?” I asked, already tired.“Hmmm…” she let out a low-pitched sound. “I just wanted to check on you, and also get gists about Damien. Rumors have it that you guys had a personal conversation after the council meeting

Chapter: CHAPTER 2: One Photo, A Thousand RumorsEVELYN'S POVI took his hand instinctively, and he pulled me up with so much ease. My eyes locked onto his green eyes, and I couldn't do anything but stare at him.There was a sharp flash, and that helped me break the gaze, and snatch my hand out of his grip. I took two steps back and lowered my head. “Thank you…” I shuddered, heart racing.For a moment I didn't hear a single thing, so I lifted my gaze slowly. My heart froze when I saw his face. He was staring at me so intently. Far behind him, the corner of my eye caught Jason staring at me. He shook his head when our eyes met, then left.I couldn't take the piercing stares of everyone around me anymore, so I just squeezed in between the Westlake players and ran off to my dorm.***Buzz-buzz!My phone wouldn't stop vibrating, and I hissed out loud. Still half asleep, I fumbled around my desk until my fingers found my phone.I picked the call without staring at the screen. “Hello…”“Why the fuck haven't you been responding to my texts

Chapter: CHAPTER 1: The Worst Day Of My LifeEVELYN'S POVThe table shook suddenly, and my pen slipped as I tried writing in my book. I ignored it, then tried writing again, but the same thing repeated. “What the fuck?” I cussed under my breath, as I pulled my headphones from my ears.My jaws dropped as I heard loud moans from the other end of the room, and hard thuds against the plywood demarcating my side from Chloe's. I ran my fingers through my hair, and I buried my head into my palms.Chloe was my best friend, and she was very well aware that I needed to pass these supplementary exams, so as not to fall off my scholarship. How could she be so inconsiderate as to have a man over?I sighed heavily as I plugged back my headphones, trying to study despite the constant shaking, but I couldn't. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I slammed my fist against the plywood demarcation three times.“Can you please keep whatever you're doing down? I'm trying to study here.”For a few seconds, I couldn't hear anything except the sound
