30 Ways To Win A Heart, 30 More To Break It 33– Gabrielle
Kayden and I had barely made eye contact since Montreal. It had been a full day and a half since we returned, and somehow, the silence between us had become louder than any argument we had ever had. The energy between us wasn’t necessarily negative. It was suffocating. There was something hanging between us. Every time I caught him looking at me, his gaze lingered for half a second before he looked away. Every time I wanted to say something, the words seemed to dissolve between my mind and my mouth. It also seemed there was so much Kayden wanted to say but was unable to reach his words. As for me, I couldn’t speak because I was simply confused with myself. Do you think life is worth living now? That question… I had no idea why I had asked it. Or maybe I did. Maybe I simply wasn’t ready to admit the reason to myself. Because what I knew for sure was that my heart was beating for that man. That was a fact I could no longer deny. And I thought it would be stupid for me to a

Pain jolted me awake.It started behind my eyes with a deep, throbbing ache that seemed to crawl slowly toward my eyebrows before shooting straight through my skull.I groaned and pressed both hands against my head.I didn’t move for a few seconds.Perhaps I couldn’t move.I simply lay there with my eyes squeezed shut, trying to convince my brain that whatever the hell was happening inside my head would stop if I stayed still.It didn’t.“Fuck,” I breathed. My voice sounded rough and unfamiliar to me.I finally forced my eyes open.The room was still dim, but sunlight was already filtering through the curtains in thin golden strips, which meant I’d slept far longer than I intended to.I stared at the ceiling. My mind was a complete haze. I couldn’t remember getting back to the penthouse. Actually, I couldn’t remember much of anything after leaving the club.My stomach turned at the thought.I pushed myself upright, immediately regretting it when the room just spun around.“Fuck,” I gr

The bathroom door slammed for the umpteenth time.Kayden stumbled inside, his heavy footsteps scuffing against the tile. A moment later, a strained groan echoed off the walls, making my stomach twist. I bolted in behind him, gripping a bottle of water in one hand. He was already on his knees, hanging over the bowl. I dropped beside him, and began rubbing his back in rhythmic circles.“It’s okay,” I cooed, trying to keep my voice steady despite the spike of adrenaline in my chest. “Let it all out. Just breathe.”But it wasn't okay. A knot of worry was tightening in my throat. We had been back for less than thirty minutes, and Kayden had already emptied his stomach more times than I could count. I was starting to suspect this wasn't just because of a heavy night of drinking.“Oh, fuck…” Kayden slumped back onto his heels, chest heaving as he gasped for air. His fingers clutched the rim of the toilet, squeezing so hard his knuckles turned pale.“Here.” I unscrewed the cap and thrust

Since I had been working with Kayden for six months, I had never once seen him deliriously drunk.Not once.I had seen him tipsy. I had seen him hungover. I had seen him drink enough to become louder than usual at parties and cockier than usual around women.But I had never seen him like this.And honestly? It wasn’t a terrible sight.The man was a dramatic drunk. He talked a lot. He moved a lot. And, dare I say, he was the cutest when he was drunk.Well… That was until everything began falling apart.“Oh, God.” I tightened my grip around his waist as he stumbled beside me, nearly taking us both into the wall of the elevator. “Kayden.”“I’m fine,” he slurred. “Yeah? Well, that’s all thanks to me,” I replied, holding him tightly.“I was trying to avoid the wall,” he said. I stared at him. He stared back at me with the most serious expression I’d ever seen on his face. “I was.”“Of course you were.”The elevator doors slid shut behind us, trapping us inside the small, mirrored space.K

Kayden came to a fucking club.So naturally, as both his handler and his supposed girlfriend, I had to come after him.It was literally my job to babysit him, and he was making sure I put in the work.By the time I stepped into the club, I was furious. God, I was so fucking furious that putting it into words would just be a disservice to myself.The music was loud enough to vibrate through my chest, the bass pulsing beneath my feet as bodies moved around me in a blur of expensive clothes, flashing lights, and alcohol. Colored lights swept across the room, illuminating faces for half a second before plunging them back into darkness.I hated everything about this place.But mostly, I hated that I had come looking for one particular idiot, who I spotted almost immediately.Kayden was impossible to miss.He was sprawled across a booth near the back of the club, a bottle in one hand and a woman pressed so close to his side that there was barely enough space between them for air.Another wo

“I wasn’t cleared.”Silence.Coach stared at me as if he couldn’t decide whether to yell or simply walk away. “You weren’t cleared to play?”“I never said I was.”“Then why the hell were you on that ice?”I looked down at my hands.Because I didn’t know.Because sitting still with my thoughts had become unbearable.Because lying in that penthouse with Gabrielle beside me would’ve been worse.Because every time I closed my eyes, I heard her voice.I’m ashamed to be associated with you.Maybe I’d wanted the pain.Maybe I needed something loud enough to drown out everything else.But I wasn’t about to say any of that.So I looked back at my coach and answered, “Because there was a game and I wanted to play it.”The man had a look of disbelief on his face before, but it deepened even further. “That’s your excuse?”“It’s not an excuse. I’m explaining why I played.” “You think this is funny, Alvarez? You think you’re untouchable because you’re good?” He pointed at me. “You walk onto that r
