Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain The promise
Lila’s POVFor a moment, I stared at Cole, searching his face for something. Anger. Disgust. Disbelief. Anything that would tell me what he was thinking.I had imagined this moment more times than I could count, and in every version, Cole's face changed when he learned the truth. The love in his eyes disappeared, and he walked away from me as though my pain had somehow made me unworthy of his affection.Sometimes, in my worst moments, I imagined him defending his father. And now, standing in front of him, I realized that I had never prepared myself for this day.“Lila.” Cole’s voice pulled me back to the present. “Say something."He took a step toward me, but I instinctively stepped back."I…” My voice caught in my throat. “I never wanted you to find out like this.”Cole's expression tightened."Is that why you've been avoiding me for two weeks?” His voice cracked slightly. “Why wouldn’t you pick up my calls or even give me a chance to talk to you?"My gaze dropped to the floor."I'm
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain A familiar stranger
Lila’s POVVictor stood in the middle of the building, studying me with an almost amused expression, as though my presence was exactly what he had expected.I had expected someone from the scholarship committee who could explain why my funding was suddenly under review. Never in my dreams did I expect to be standing face-to-face with Cole's father.“What are you doing here?” I finally asked. Victor’s lips curved into a cruel smile.“Is that how you greet someone who has invited you to a meeting?”“This isn't a meeting,” I shot back. “You practically tricked me into coming to meet you.”“Yet here you are.”His calmness made my skin crawl. I wanted to turn around and leave, but the thought of my scholarship stopped me. “You said you had information about my scholarship.” My grip tightened around my phone. “What is it?”Victor studied me for a few seconds before walking toward one of the old chairs in the room.“Sit down, Lila.”“I'd rather stand.”“Suit yourself.”He sat down, crossed
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain The Price of silence
Lila’s POVI stared at Cole’s name on my phone, my thumb hovering over the call button.God, I missed him so much.I missed his voice, his annoying smile, and the way he always looked at me like I was the only thing that mattered to him.But how could I tell him the truth?How could I look into his eyes and tell him that the man who had hurt me when I was fifteen was his father? Maybe I was a coward, but I couldn't bring myself to destroy the one thing Cole still had left of his family.My thoughts were still circling when a soft knock came from the bedroom door.“Lila?” she called quietly. “Don’t tell me you’re thinking again.”I quickly wiped my face before turning towards my grandmother.“I'm fine, Grandma.”“You've been saying that for two weeks.”She opened the door slowly, her eyes immediately moving to the phone in my hand as she walked into the room and sat beside me on the bed.“Then why do you look like someone has taken your heart and stepped on it?”I lowered my head, star
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain The broken aftermath
Cole's POVTwo weeks now…It had been fourteen long days since she looked me in the eye and told me she needed space.Fourteen days since I last heard her voice…of feeling her in my arms…Fourteen days of silence.Gosh! It had been the longest two weeks of my entire life.I stopped going to class and stopped going to practice.Coach called for the fiest two days I missed and since stopped—Mason had stopped trying to talk to me about coming because he knew it was a dead end.Even Sophie had given up as well…I was drowning.And I didn't care enough to stop.Now? I was at my favorite place for the past weeks…the bar.This kept me from drowning. This and nothing else…I usually arrived here by six and just kept going till I woke up to the morning or Mason would drag me back to my dorm.Tonight I was here for around three or four hours already…I wasn’t sure, I ost count somewhere between the fourth shot of whiskey and the fifth.I stared at the glass in front of me, just watching it bub
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain Finding Lila
Cole's POV“She never came here last night..” the word rang in my head over and over for like almost a full minute.Then I forced myself to blink, taking a few steps foward to Spphie by the word.“What do you mean?! She never came home?!”So how shook her head and the sleep that was on her face moments ago were gone. Worried was tinged in it.“Wait. So she wasn’t with you?!” “The dinner—I thought– you were having dinner with her!”“I was. But then she left.”“What do you mean she left?!” Sophie nearly snapped out. “I mean. She didn’t even wait for me. One second she was there, the next she was gone..”“Oh my God!” “Oh my God!” Sophie took a step back. “Let me get dressed, then I’ll make some calls and find out if she’s anywhere else.”You should shower too..you smell horribly.”I nodded sharply. Then the door slammed close in my face.I drove back to my dorm, sat on the edge of my bed, and stared at the wall until the sun came up.I called her, texted her and called her again.Nothin

I yanked my arm free at one and took a couple of steps backVictor stared at me almost stunned now. "Is something wrong?"I couldn't speak, I was even struggling to breathe now…I just stared at him, then at the tattoo again. It was the same! The very same!"Lila?" He tried to step towards me, but I backed off again. Then, I turned and ran.The moment I barged out into the hallway, I didn’t stop..I just kept on running. I didn't know where I was going and I didn’t care. I just needed to get away from here!…away from the house, frok him and from everything.The main exit door faced me and I slammed it wide open with both palms and continued to run foward. The cold air hit my face like a slap but I barely felt it…The paparazzi were still there, when I stepped out, snapping pictures and asking questions, but I pushed through them and didn’t look back or bother stop."Miss!
