Bailey POV

After practice, the ride back to Nolan's apartment is suffocating.

He keeps his hand on my thigh the entire way, his grip possessive and tight. Neither of us speaks, but the tension in the car is thick enough to choke on.

When we finally arrive and step inside, I feel the walls closing in on me.

I can't do this.

I can't spend another night here pretending and suffocating under his control.

"I need to step out," I say suddenly, my voice firmer than I expected. "I need some fresh air."

  • Claimed By My Ex's Rival Hockey Captain   sterile cage

    Bailey POVThe morning sun filters through the curtains of my apartment.Yes, you heard me, my real apartment, the one I share with Talia.Not Nolan's sterile cage.I didn't go back last night.After leaving my grandmother's house, I made a choice. A different choice than the one Orion thinks I made.My phone buzzes with another message from Nolan.“wWhere are you? You said you'd be back. Did you go to find that Hayes boy?”I can even read the irritation in his words.I scoff in annoyance.“ Went home.” I reply.I take a photo of myself in my apartment, then send it to him.It should be familiar considering we would visit Talia in her apartment back when we were still dating.The response is immediate.“You should have told me.”Now, I scoff. Am I supposed to seek permission from him?“ I will be home late. I am spending the day at the bakery.” I ignore his whining and inform him.I haven't been to my bakery for days. The last time was the day Orion’s scandal broke through Michigan.G

    "I do trust you…" I start to explain but Orion doesn't give me the chance to."Then why didn't you let me fight for us?" he asks, pain lacing every word. "Why didn't you let me be the one to protect you for once?" He adds and I have to hold myself back from breaking down again."Orion, you've protected me for so long," I say, my hands cupping his face. "You've fought for me, defended me, stood by me through everything. I wanted to protect you this time. I wanted to be the one who saved you." I reply, hoping he can understand my reasons."Save me by sacrificing yourself?" Orion's voice cracks. "Bailey, that's not saving me. That's destroying us both.""I didn't know what else to do. Nolan said he would destroy you. He said you wouldn't survive prison, that he would make sure…""I don't care," Orion interrupts fiercely. "I don't care about prison. I don't care about my career. I don't care about any of it if it means losing you." He declares with so much pain."Orion…""Don't go back to

"I need some fresh air."Nolan's head whips toward me, his expression immediately darkening."Fresh air?" he repeats, his tone dripping with suspicion.“ Bailey, are you planning to run back to Hayes the moment I'm not looking?" He accuses me.Something inside me snaps at his words."If you don't trust me, then you shouldn't have proposed this deal in the first place.” I say, my voice rising unknowingly.“I have done everything you wanted, Nolan. Everything. I posted that announcement. I went to your practice. I smiled

    Bailey "Stay away from my woman, Hayes."Nolan's voice cuts through the air like a knife, sharp and possessive.I turn to see him striding toward us, his expression dark with anger. He must have noticed I was gone and came looking for me.My heart sinks."Nolan…" I start, but he's already closing the distance between us."I said, stay away from her," Nolan repeats, positioning himself between Orion and me. His hand immediately finds my waist, pulling me against his side with bruising force.I see Orion's jaw clench and his hands curl into fists."We were just talking," Orion says, his voice tight as if he is controlling himself."Talking?" Nolan repeats , laughing but there's no humor in it. “ To me, it looked like more than talking to me. It looked like you were harassing my girlfriend." He declares."I wasn't…" Orion tries to defend himself but Nolan ignores him."Bailey, let's go," Nolan interrupts, his grip on my waist tightening in warning. "Practice is almost over anyway." He

    Bailey POV"Bailey Morrison, right?" Coach Williams' voice cuts through the noise of the practice session.I look up to find him standing there, his expression unreadable. He's not in his usual coaching gear.He is dressed more formally, like he came here specifically for something other than practice."Coach Williams," I say quietly, unsure what else to say.He sits down next to me without asking permission and I feel several pairs of eyes turn our way."I have to say, I am surprised to see you here," he begins, his tone carefully neutral. "Last I heard, you were with Orion Hayes. Now you're with Carter. That's quite a change." He notes.My throat tightens. "People change their minds.""Do they?" He looks at me directly now, and there's something searching in his gaze. "This kind of mind changing doesn't seem to make any sense.” He continues.“Few days ago, you used to accompany Hayes for practice and now suddenly you are with another man who clearly hates Orion?" He points out or sh

    Bailey POV"Besides, I want to show you off. Let everyone see that you're mine again."Mine again, like I am a fucking possession he reclaimed."I need to shower first," I say, desperate for any excuse to be alone again."Of course," Nolan says, his hand coming up to cup my cheek. "Take your time. I want you to look beautiful for our first public appearance as a couple." He informs me.His thumb strokes my cheekbone, and I have to use every ounce of willpower not to flinch away."Nolan," I say quietly. "When are you going to handle Orion's case? You promised…""Since I promised, I will handle it." he interrupts me impatiently."Tese things take time, Bailey. I need to make some calls and pull some strings. It can't happen overnight." He answers.Make calls and pull strings my ass. If he wasn't an asshole and framed Orion, would I be in this mess?"How long?" Despite the anger, I force myself to calm down and ask.Something flickers in his eyes.“ A few days.” He answers.“ How fast de
