***EVICTED***

Flora's POV

“Our hotel stay expired today,” I said, staring at the flashing red text. “We’re supposed to be out of Chicago this morning.”

“This is exactly what I’ve been trying to discuss with you. Where do I get to stay for the next three months? And what about my best friend? We can’t exactly pitch a tent on the sidewalk while I play the part of your doting fake girlfriend.”

Before he could answer, a frantic, rhythmic knocking rattled the door.

It swung open immediately. Lucil

    ***A LITTLE CHAOS***Flora’s POVI snatched the phone from Tyler’s hand and stared at the screen, reading the message again and again until the words blurred.“No… no, no, no,” I whispered, my voice cracking. My chest felt like it was caving in. Tyler didn't say anything, his eyes remained wide like he had just seen a ghost.“This can’t be real, Tyler. How is this even possible? It has to be some kind of mistake, right?”Tyler reached over, took the phone back with steady fingers, and dialed a number. He put the call on speaker, and the tense silence of the bedroom filled with the ringing tone.It picked up after two crackles. “Mr. Sinclair.”“Detective,” Tyler said, his voice low but perfectly stable. “I just received a text. Justin’s dead. What the hell happened?”The line went silent for a beat.“They found him unresponsive in his cell this morning,” the detective replied, sounding tired. “The doctors are saying it's a sudden fatal spike in blood pressure.”“High blood pressure?”

    ***SURPISE VISIT***Sean’s POV“Yo, bro! Tell me you remember that dark-haired puck bunny from the club last weekend,” the voice exploded through the phone speaker, entirely too loud for nine in the morning.I grabbed the device, violently jamming the button to take it off loudspeaker before pressing it flat against my ear. My eyes flicked toward the room door. “Keep your fucking voice down. I’m at Megan’s place.”“Oh, shit,” He chuckled, his tone dropping into a lazy rumble. “You two settled your fight already?”“Yeah, we’re good. Now what the hell are you yapping about?”“The girl from the club, man! The one you wanted to slide into before you completely fumbled her and vanished. I ran into her at a warehouse after-party last night. We had some incredibly hot sex, bro.”I rolled my eyes, a short, bitter scoff escaping my lips as I leaned back against the headboard. I didn't fumble her.I was less than two minutes away from taking that girl out to my car when my gaze had tracked acr

    ***GO HARDER, TY***Tyler’s POV“Alright, Captain’s woman! Get to work!” Marcus yelled, flashing a drunken grin as everyone started to cheer.Flora slowly stood up, hooking her fingers around the condom. She turned around to face me, stretching out her hand toward me as she threw a wink straight at my face.I stood up instantly, my large hand wrapping around her forearm to stabilize her as the room erupted.Flora turned back toward the guests, waving her free hand. “Goodnight, everyone! Don't keep the whole neighborhood up.”Everyone began slamming their cups against the floor, whistling through their teeth as she dragged me up the staircase. She led the way straight into my bedroom. I closed the door behind us, my eyebrows flattening as I stood near the window, my arms folded tightly over my chest. What the hell was she thinking?Flora completely ignored my stare. She padded over to the mattress and began casually dressing my bed, smoothing down the duvet before tossing the condo

    ***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

His jaw was sharp, his sm
