***GOTHIC GALA***

Flora's POV

What the heavenly fuck?

I stared at the phone screen shoved inches from my face, my eyebrows knitted together so tightly it almost hurt. The picture staring back at me was...something else.

A woman dressed head to toe in full gothic glory—all black clothes clinging to her body, jet-black hair falling straight like a curtain, heavy dark eyeliner that could cut glass, deep black lipstick, a chunky silver cross necklace, and knuckle rings that looked like something th

    ***THINGS WE NEVER SAY***Flora’s POVTyler took a step toward me and the music faded into the background.I noticed the sharp glint of the small diamond studs in his ears. His eyes looked heavy and slightly sleep-hooded.He cleared his throat, his gaze dropping to his shoes before rising back to my face. He looked entirely out of his element.“Hey,” he murmured. He shifted his weight, his hands sliding into his joggers. “Look... about what happened at the arena earlier...”He exhaled slowly, rubbing the back of his neck. “I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that,” he started again, the words coming out rough. “You were just trying to look out for the guys.”He stopped there, eyes searching my face. I kept my expression perfectly neutral, one eyebrow slightly raised.He’s actually apologizing?It was infuriatingly attractive, watching him stand there without his usual armor.He shifted on his feet once more, clearly uncomfortable.“I’m sorry, Flora,” he added quietly.I held firm, le

    ***HERSHEY BEARS CULTURE***Flora’s POVArthur and the mayor exchanged a fleeting glance, shock etched across their rigid faces. They probably hadn’t expected him to choose our relationship over his friends. But my mind was elsewhere.They had called me a slut.The ugly word still echoed in my head. I drew in a slow, shaky breath. All this brutal family drama had unfolded simply because I’d agreed to fake-date Tyler Sinclair.“I’m done here,” Tyler growled. His long fingers wrapped around mine, locking our hands together. He looked down at me. “Let’s go, my love.”I stood immediately, legs unsteady beneath my leggings, while Arthur’s cold eyes tracked our every move across the plush carpet. We headed for the exit and the air in the lounge turning stiff. Tyler reached for the handle—then stopped. He turned back, shooting one last irritated look at his father’s blank mask, before pulling me through the doorway and slamming the door behind us with enough force to rattle the corridor wa

    ***YOU TWO CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL***Tyler’s POV“What the fuck do you mean by that?” I demanded, my voice slicing through the fading echoes of the arena.Justin let out another loud laugh and pushed his heavy frame up from the ice. The stadium seats were emptying fast. Three state police officers stood waiting behind him in crisp uniforms.Justin didn’t run. He turned his head slowly, flashing them a twisted, unbothered smirk.Behind the glass, whispers erupted among the remaining Hawkins and Hershey players.“What the hell is going on?” One of my teammates muttered, skating closer. “What did Graham do?”Reporters swarmed the perimeter, cameras swinging toward us. The lead officer stepped forward, the click of handcuffs cutting through the rink as he secured Justin’s wrists behind his back.“Justin Graham, you are under arrest for the murder of Miss Candice Prudent three years ago and the attempted murder of Miss Flora Morgan,” the officer recited flatly. “You have the right to rema

    ***YOUR TREAT CAPTAIN***Tyler’s POVMy focus completely fractured the exact second I looked up into the stands.Flora was standing right there in the front row. She had completely ignored my orders to stay at the estate. The blare of the stadium horn echoed through the rafters, signaling the break, but my gaze was focused on Flora. She was wearing a pair of leggings and an oversized jacket. Her ponytail bounced as she waved at me.I stood on the ice, resting both hands heavily against my waist, staring straight up at her through the plexiglass. Turning on my heel, I skated toward the rink exit to talk to her, but as my blades cleared the gate, my eyes drifted to the bastard.Justin Graham.He was leaning against the wall, leisurely chewing gum. He looked at me with a wide fucking smirk.“You’re doing well out there, Captain,” Justin purred. “Playing like the devil you are.”“What do you know?” I scoffed, glaring at him. “I have to keep the momentum high, Graham. After all, I need

    ***THE D-DAY***Flora’s POVThe cool bathroom tile sent a chill up my bare legs as I stood in front of the mirror, carefully adjusting the knot of the bath towel wrapped around my chest.Today was D-day. The showdown between the Hershey Bears and the Hawkins. For the first time, I would sit in the stands as Tyler Sinclair’s fake girlfriend, and cheering openly for the man who had risked his life two days ago to keep me alive.I turned away from my reflection and took two steps toward the bed. The edge of my right foot clipped the wooden frame of the nightstand. A sharp sting flared straight up my leg, yanking me violently back into the nightmare from two days ago.The jagged glass slicing into my flesh. The deafening gunshot. My knees weakened.I collapsed onto the mattress, staring up at the blank white ceiling as the final terrifying moments inside that abandoned house replayed behind my eyelids. Minutes after that last gunshot, he had finally emerged from the shadows of the por

    ***WHO HAD SCREAMED?***Flora’s POVThe deafening crack of a second gunshot echoed into the room. Tyler’s massive hand clamped around my shoulder and yanked me down beside him with enough force.The bullet tore through the exact space where my head had been a heartbeat earlier, slamming into the computer monitor behind us. The screen exploded in a shower of sparking glass that rained across the floor. Cold sweat prickled across my skin. That bullet had been meant for my head.If Tyler hadn't pulled me—“Don’t move,” Tyler breathed against my ear as we crouched in the tight darkness beneath the heavy metal vanity.His broad chest pressed flush against my back.The acrid stench of gunpowder burned my nose. Then came the slow, deliberate thud of boots descending the wooden stairs, each step heavy with predatory intent.My fingers dug into the leather of Tyler’s jacket. “Tyler…I’m scared. I’m so scared.”His hand instantly covered my mouth, muffling the words. “I’m here, I got you,” he

His jaw was sharp, his sm
