FAKING IT WITH MY EX-BOYFRIEND'S COUSIN THE HOCKEY CAPTAIN CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
LILIANI lowered my gaze, still thinking about everything that had happened. “Don't worry about it; I don't want you to bother about this.”“It is fine,” Alex said, handing me a bouquet. “Here, I saw these and thought you might like them.”I looked at the flowers, surprised that he had actually gotten them for me. “You got these for me?” I asked, unable to hide the smile spreading across my face.He nodded, watching my reaction. “What are you going to eat?”“Burger!” I shouted without thinking.Alex stared at me, and I immediately felt embarrassed by how quickly I had answered. I expected him to tease me, but he only smiled and ruffled my hair.“I'll order burgers,” he said. “Or do you prefer that we eat out?”“No,” I replied quickly. “Let's eat here.”I brought the flowers closer to my nose, but the moment I smelled them, I started sneezing uncontrollably. Alex rushed toward me, his expression changing immediately.“Are you okay?” he asked.“Take the flowers away,” I managed between

ALEXThe training had just started when I decided to text Lilian. She replied with be careful and a smirk emoji, and I laughed when I saw it before putting my phone away.This wasn't a normal Williams practice. Because Williams and Westbrook were rivals, both about to represent the university at the international rink in Singapore, the school forced both clubs into a 3-day joint selection camp. The final roster for Singapore would be picked from both teams.That's why we were at the Westbrook Ravens' rink facility outside campus. A lot of students had already gathered around to watch, because everyone knew Williams and Westbrook hated each other.Mr. Westbrook was already there with Coach, and his stern expression made it obvious he wasn't there to watch an ordinary practice. His eyes moved around the rink before settling on John, his son."This is not just a practice," he said loudly so both teams could hear. "This camp will decide who goes to Singapore. You must defeat Alex and pro

LILIANMy head spun as Alex's words settled over me, and I blinked several times as though I had somehow misunderstood him. Those were the last words I expected to hear from him, especially because Michael had never said them to me with any sincerity. Whenever I told Michael I loved him, his response had always been an emotionless “you too,” and that was all I ever received.“I don't believe you,” I said, my voice quieter than I intended. “What if this is still a bet?”Alex reached for my hands, and the sadness that crossed his face made it difficult for me to hold his gaze.“Even now, while I'm holding your hands, you still think this is fake?” he asked, his fingers tightening gently around mine. “Don't you feel the same way about me, Lilian?”I lowered my head because I did not know how to answer him. “I need time,” I admitted.The sadness in his eyes faded into a quiet smile that immediately made me suspicious.“What is funny?” I asked.“Nothing,” he replied, although his smile rem

ALEXI grabbed my keys from the drawer and rushed downstairs because Michael had just told me Lilian was in his house, and then he rejected my call. My hands were shaking on the railing, and I could not get the image of her suitcase out of my head. I pushed the front door open and ran to my car without locking up.Traffic was light, but the fifteen-minute drive dragged, and I kept hitting red lights that made me press my hands hard against the wheel. By the time I parked near his gate, my shirt was sticking to my back from sweat.I banged on the front door and shouted his name until my throat hurt. He finally opened it with that smug smirk he always wore when he thought he was winning. I did not wait for an invitation and pushed past him into the living room.Lilian was sitting on the couch with her suitcase tucked tightly against her legs, and she would not look up when I entered. Her shoulders were stiff, and her hands were knotted together like she was holding herself in place. I s

LILIAN I guess I was at the wrong address because the place in front of me looked nothing like the apartment I had expected. Michael stood there with a smug smile on his face as though he had been waiting for me all along. "I knew you would come begging me," he said, and I immediately rolled my eyes."You wish," I threw back, gripping the handle of my suitcase tighter. My eyes moved past him when I noticed a woman stepping out from the hallway, and my entire body stiffened when I recognized her. It was Chelsea."Hey, Lilian," she said mockingly while Michael leaned against the door with an amused expression. "Were you the one who texted me?" I asked, my voice suddenly cautious. "Sure, come in," she answered casually as she stepped aside.My legs suddenly felt heavy as I pulled my suitcase inside, wondering what the hell was going on. I had nowhere else to go tonight, so I decided I would survive tonight and figure out the rest tomorrow. Still, walking into my ex-boyfriend's home whil

ALEX“Mother?” I answered the phone, still sitting in my car outside my apartment. “Alex,” her voice came through low and strained. “Are you okay?”“Where’s Dad?” I asked, my fingers tightening around the steering wheel. “Mr. Williams called us about two hours ago,” she replied. My pulse immediately quickened because I already had a feeling about why.“What for?” I asked, pretending not to know. There was a brief silence before she answered. “Alex, stay away from Lilian.”“Mom?” I called, my brows pulling together. “Mr. Williams is really pissed right now,” she said, her voice weak. “He is the one supporting the payment for my dialysis, and I can't afford to have him turn against us.”I leaned back against the driver's seat and closed my eyes. “Your captaincy won't be enough to save you if you keep getting on his bad side,” she continued. “If you want to keep your position as captain and make sure my treatment continues, you need to stay away from Lilian.”“I understand, Mother,” I sa
