Hailey’s POV

By the time I got home that evening, the sky was already a dark shade of orange. My backpack felt heavier than usual, and my mind was cluttered from the whispers and side glances I’d endured all day at school. I wanted nothing more than to get inside, take a shower, and curl up under my blanket.

But when I reached the front door and tried the handle, it didn’t move. Locked.

That wasn’t unusual—Dad sometimes locked up when he went out. So I reached for the spare key I kept hidden in my backpack’s inner pocket. I slipped it into the lock, twisted, and… nothing. It didn’t turn.

My brows furrowed. I tried again, harder this time, but the key wouldn’t fit properly. That’s when the realization hit me like a slap.

The locks had been changed.

“Dad?” I whispered under my breath and immediately pulled out my phone. My hands trembled slightly as I dialed his number. It rang once… twice… then straight to voicemail.

I tried again, and again. Nothing.

I was standing there, heart poundi

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 14: Ryan

    Hailey’s POVThe morning felt different, it was too quiet, but not peaceful. My body was still buzzing from what had happened between Roy and me. Every time I thought about that kiss, my chest tightened, heat rising up my neck. I could still feel the ghost of his lips against mine, still hear the way he’d said, “we stop pretending we don’t feel it.”I shook the thought away as I stood in the kitchen, sleeves rolled up, trying to focus on breakfast instead of my heart. The smell of bacon and coffee filled the air, mingling with the faint rain still tapping against the windows. I wanted to do something nice...maybe it would distract me from the swirl of feelings crashing in my chest.Roy hadn’t come downstairs yet, and Ryan was probably still asleep. At least that’s what I told myself.The knife slipped before I even noticed.“Ah!” I hissed softly, jerking my hand back. A small line of red bloomed across my fingertip.Before I could grab a napkin, someone moved behind me....quick and si

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 13: Feelings

    Hailey’s POVMorning came slowly, breaking through the heavy curtains in thin streaks of gold. The faint chirping of birds outside mingled with the soft hum of the rain that had continued through the night. My body felt weak but warm, cocooned beneath the thick blanket. For a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was until I opened my eyes and saw Roy sitting in the chair beside my bed.He was leaning forward, elbows on his knees, one hand resting against his jaw as if he hadn’t slept at all. The soft light touched his face, drawing out the sharp lines of his features and the quiet exhaustion in his eyes.When he noticed I was awake, he straightened. “Hey,” he said gently. “How are you feeling?”His voice carried that familiar roughness, the kind that brushed softly over my nerves.“I’m… better,” I murmured, sitting up slowly. The room swayed for a moment before I steadied myself. “Did you stay here all night?”He gave a small shrug, eyes flicking to the untouched cup of coffee on the n

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 12: The Williams’ Mansion

    Hailey’s POVThe ride to the Williams’ mansion felt longer than it probably was. Maybe it was the silence, the heavy kind that fills every corner of your chest and makes you painfully aware of your own heartbeat. Roy sat beside me in the backseat, his jacket still around my shoulders. It carried his scent, a mix of rain, leather, and something warm that felt almost like safety.His brother, the driver, hadn’t said much either. I only knew his name because Roy had mentioned it once before: Ryan Williams. His tone whenever he said his brother’s name was complicated, the kind that hinted at history, rivalry, and loyalty all at once.The car glided through the long, wet road, past gates so tall they seemed to cut the rain in half. When they opened, I caught my first glimpse of the mansion. It wasn’t just big, it was intimidatingly grand. White columns, wide glass walls, and faint lights that shimmered through the rain. The kind of place that didn’t just say money but whispered power.As

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 10: Glow

    Hailey Queen’s POVThe morning sunlight streamed through the windows as I walked into school, my hair perfectly styled, outfit crisp and flawless. Every step felt light, confident. I could feel the eyes on me—friends, classmates, even a few strangers glancing as I passed by. The mirror in the hall reflected the version of me I wanted the world to see: composed, glowing, untouchable.“Hailey, you look amazing!” one girl whispered as I passed, and I offered a polite, almost shy smile. It was nice—finally nice—to be admired without someone trying to tear me down.I felt the familiar warmth of pride settle in my chest. Today, I wasn’t just Hailey the quiet girl. Today, I was glowing.Then my phone vibrated. A text from Madison flashed across the screen:"You think you can just have a little glow up and outshine me? Dad’s on the line. He will sort you out...you’re just a slut."My stomach dropped. I stared at the screen, heart hammering. What?Before I could process it, the school office

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 9: Defense

    Roy’s POVHer sobs hit me harder than I expected. Hailey’s tiny frame shook, tears sliding down her cheeks as she clutched the phone in her hands, staring at those damn pictures. Every ounce of control I had slipped. My fists tightened, jaw locking.“Are you sure… no one else has these?” I asked, my voice low, rough, carrying a warning I didn’t even try to hide.She sniffled, nodding, her voice trembling. “Yes. I don’t know how they could even resurface now.”That was it. I didn’t even give her another second. Without another word, I stood, my boots scraping the floor. Brighton was going to pay. He was going to regret ever trying to hurt her. My muscles coiled, my body humming with barely restrained rage. I knew exactly where to find him.The locker room was loud, teammates laughing, tossing gym bags around. And there he was—Brighton, leaning against a locker, smirking with a group of guys. In his hand, the same photos of Hailey that had made her cry.“Yo,” Brighton called, noticing m
