Logan's POV

Football practice started a little bit tense. The moment I entered the field, I could feel the way Aaron was looking at my presence. He was acting normal at first, but I knew him too well.

There was something behind his smug expression, he was plotting something and I knew it wasn't any good. And I had a feeling it had everything to do with Ava and the bet we made.

I regretted it every single day. But I also knew that no matter how much I hated myself for it, I wasn’t going to let Aaron use it against me.

But I was afraid!

The practice began, and I pushed my frustration and worries aside, focusing on the game. Tristan was already on the field, his sharp eyes passing between me and Aaron, probably expecting things to go south at any moment.

And he was right to.

It started when Aaron refused to pass the ball to me. The first time, I let it slide, thinking maybe it wasn’t intentional. The second time, I clenched my jaw, keeping my cool. But by the third and fourth times, wh

  • Against the rules    I missed you

    Ava’s POVThe morning after our fight, my chest still ached. I kept replaying everything I said to Logan. My anger had been sharp, my words laced with venom, and though I told myself he deserved it, a part of me knew I hadn’t just cut him,I’d shattered something that was barely holding on.He looked… broken when he stormed away. But I was hurting too, wasn’t I?The bakery buzzed around me, I refused to go to the office. Flour streaked my apron, and the smell of cinnamon and caramel clung to my skin. None of it reached me.He left me.But now I knew he was trying to come back.Was I just too angry to let him?A bell rang overhead. My heart leapt automatically, expecting it to be him again. But it was Levi ,his younger brother.He offered me a small smile, hands in his jeans pockets. “Got a second?”I nodded and wiped my hands before pulling off my apron. “Sure. What’s up?”“Lunch?” he offered.I hesitated, but something about his eyes which were calmer than Logan’s, but just as intens

  • Against the rules    I never stopped loving you

    Logan's povDays passed, and I kept trying. Small texts, short calls, even dropping by the bakery to catch her during a break. Every attempt met cold walls or silence. But I knew beneath the frost, she was melting slowly.One evening, I found her closing up the bakery late. She was exhausted but determined. I stepped inside, my heart pounding. Maybe this might be my chance.I should’ve walked away when I saw the storm brewing in her eyes.But I didn’t. I couldn’t ,I wanted a chance, just one chance to show her that I had a reason for everything that happened..“Ava…”“You need to leave,” she snapped, her voice like a blade I didn’t see coming.I flinched, stepping back like her words were a physical blow.“I just wanted to see if you were okay.”She laughed, a short, bitter sound that didn’t belong to the girl I once knew.“You wanted? Funny. Where were all these wants when I cried myself to sleep every night you disappeared?”My throat tightened. “I was...”“Gone,” she cut in coldly.

  • Against the rules    I Came Back For You

    Logan's POVThe elevator dinged, as I stepped out into the sleek, glass walled office that had become my battlefield these past few weeks. I wasn’t expecting to see Nate here of all people leaning casually against Ava’s desk, flashing that same stupid grin I remembered from two years ago. Fork Boy.What the fuck was he doing here?!He hadn’t changed much. Still smug, still thinking he's too familiar with Ava. And she was smiling. That same reserved smile she used to give me before I’d pull her into my arms and kiss it away. Now it was his to earn, apparently.Something dark twisted in my chest.I walked forward slowly, each step measured. Nate noticed me first, his eyes narrowing with recognition.“Logan,” he said, casually, like we were friends. Like he didn’t know how badly I wanted to deck him.I ignored the greeting and looked straight at Ava. Her smile dropped. She stood straighter, defensive already. Good. Maybe she could feel what was coming.“You’re a client now?” I asked Na

  • Against the rules    Work on it

    Ava’s POVLogan’s voice broke the heavy silence. “Ava, wait… we need to talk.”My hands trembled slightly, and I took a small step back, my heart racing in a way that wasn’t excitement or happiness. It was fear,confusion,pain I hadn’t fully allowed myself to feel until now.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “There’s nothing to say.”He frowned, his usual calm and commanding presence flickering with vulnerability I hadn’t expected. “I didn’t mean to disappear on you. I had my reasons—I…”I cut him off, voice barely steady but firm. “Two years, Logan. You left without a word, without even saying goodbye properly. You don’t get to just show up and expect everything to be okay.”His jaw tightened, and I saw the conflict in his eyes. “I wanted to protect you.”“Protect me?” I laughed bitterly. “By vanishing? By leaving me in the dark while everything fell apart?”Tears pricked at my eyes, but I blinked them away. I wasn’t ready to break down here, not now.Logan took a step forward, his

  • Against the rules    The Man I couldn't Forget

    ♣Ava’s POV♣I woke up with that same tight feeling in my chest, the one that never really went away. By the time I reached the bakery, the shelves were already filled with pastries neatly arranged, warm, and familiar. I kept my hands busy, moving trays and wiping counters, hoping the routine would quiet the thoughts in my mind that refused to let go.I wiped down the counter again, trying to focus on the task rather than the gnawing silence inside me.So much time had passed, but it still felt like I was waiting for something or someone that might never come.I pushed the thought away and forced a smile when a customer approached the counter. “Good morning! What can I get for you today?”After serving the few regulars who drifted in, the shop settled into a silence. I took a deep breath and glanced out the window at the sleepy street beyond. The city was still waking up, but for me, every day felt like a slow journey to the unknown .Just then, the familiar jingle of the doorbell m

  • Against the rules    Two years of memories

    ♣Ava POV♣ (Two Years Later)The city I lived in now was nothing like Westbridge. It didn’t have the same old buildings or that annoying sounds in the library steps. It was busier, colder, and the sky was almost always cloudy , a perfect match for how I’d felt for the last two years.I stood in the café I now worked at, wiping down a table as rain tapped against the windowpane. Another rainy day,another quiet shift ,another memory of him.Logan Carter.Some days, I still expected him to walk through the door with that same cocky grin, messed-up hair, a dumb joke ready on his lips. But he never did. He never would.He was gone.Not officially because there was never a death certificate,no headlines,no funeral. Just... gone. Like he vanished with the wind the night the Carter empire fell.I only know about his father's death,but I haven't heard from him or Levi ever since they disappeared.My fingers tightened around the rag.“Still thinking about him?” Charlotte’s voice pulled me back.
