Hazel’s POV

I kept thinking about who Trey used to be before all of this.

It was a strange thing to grieve, considering everything he’d done. But somewhere underneath everything, there had been a version of him I actually liked once. The brother who used to steal my fries at dinner and pretend he wasn’t doing it. The one who showed up to one of my middle school recitals because nobody else could make it.

I didn’t know when that person had disappeared, it must have been in college because that w

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 157: State Champions

    Jaxon’s POVThe locker room felt different before this game than it had before any other.Usually, there was noise, music, trash talk, and someone tapping their stick against the floor out of nervous energy. Today there was just the low hum of guys getting ready in silence, everyone aware of everything that had happened over the past week without anyone saying it out loud. Rivers in custody. Trey was suspended, sitting at home instead of in the locker room with the rest of us. The team that had spent the whole season building toward this game was walking into it cracked down the middle.Coach gathered us before warm-ups, standing in the middle of the room with his hands in his pockets, looking at each of us in turn.“I’m not going to pretend this week hasn’t been hard. Some of you are worried about Trey. Some of you don’t know what to feel about any of it. That’s fair. But here’s what I need you to understand before we walk out on that ice today. Championships aren’t won by the most t

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 156: I’m sorry, Hazel

    Hazel’s POV“What is happening?” Trey asked again, slower this time, his eyes moving between Oswald’s still expression and Rivers’ stricken one.Nobody answered immediately.“Someone needs to explain this. Right now.”I was the one who finally spoke. “Trey, I’m not Hazel Pierce.”He stared at me like I had said something in a language he didn’t recognize. “What?”“My name isn’t Hazel Pierce.” I gestured at the documents still scattered across the coffee table. “It’s Rebecca Sterling. I’m his daughter.” I nodded toward Oswald. “The girl everyone thought died eighteen years ago.”Trey laughed, short and disbelieving, the kind of laugh that comes out when your brain hasn’t caught up to what your ears just heard. “That’s not… that’s insane. This is some kind of joke.” He turned to Oswald. “Did you put this idea in her head? Is this some kind of manipulation to get to whatever’s left of our family’s money?”“Trey…” I started.“No,” Oswald said calmly, cutting in before I could finish. “I u

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 155: The second truth 

    Hazel’s POVI didn’t knock when I got to the house.I just walked in, the way I had for almost my entire life, except this time every step felt deliberate. Jaxon waited in the car at my request. This part needed to happen without him standing beside me. Whatever came out of this conversation, I needed to be the one who said it.Rivers was in the living room when I came in, sitting in his usual chair, a glass of wine untouched on the side table beside him. He looked up when he heard the door, and whatever he saw on my face made him go very still.“Hazel.”“Don’t… Please don’t do the concerned voice. Not right now.”He set down the glass he had been holding. “I have been eating for yu to cobe home. Did you see my calls?.”“I’m not here because of your calls.” I crossed the room and set my bag down on the coffee table, pulling out the folder I had been carrying since I left Oswald’s office. “I’m here because I want the truth. Every piece of it, not the version you’ve been managing for ei

The one who showed up to one of my middle school recitals because nobody else could make it.I didn’t know when that person had disappeared, it must have been in college because that was when he got all too absorbed with himself. Either way, he is gone from WildLife now. The school’s IT department had pulled his access during the investigation, and somewhere in the mess of paperwork, my account had finally come back to where it belonged.To me, after I wrote an undertaking never to use it to tarnish any image. Even if I never did tarnish any image. My blog posts were o mostly about rumours, sex and wild life on campus. Yet I graciously signed the undertaking because I missed

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 153: What is he hiding?

    Trey’s POVThe official notice came through at noon, and by the time I finished reading it, my hands had gone cold.Blacklisted from any hockey activity with immediate effect. Three months of mandated community service, alongside Tiffany and the other students who took part in it. A formal public apology is to be broadcast through the school’s official channels for the entire student body.I sat with my phone in my hand for a long time after that, not moving.By two in the afternoon, the news had already crossed every group chat on campus. I knew because my phone had gone almost completely silent. Teammates who used to text me first about everything weren’t texting at all. Guys who had followed my lead in the locker room for three years suddenly had nothing to say to me.The worst part came at four.A message from one of the scouts my father had personally introduced me to last season. Disappointing to hear about the situation. We’ll be reassessing our interest.I stared at that messa

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 152: That should have been me.

    Trey’s POVI woke up the morning after Tiffany’s verdict feeling very good, for the first time in weeks, because everything has finally been settled.She had taken the fall. My name had stayed clean through the entire hearing. I stood in front of my bedroom mirror, buttoning my Ice Hounds jacket with a confidence I hadn't felt in a long time. One more game. That was all I needed.The moment I stepped onto the walkway leading toward the athletics building, something felt...off.Conversations stopped as I walked by. Two freshmen from the team whispered to each other before quickly looking away when I caught them staring.My grip tightened around my bag.What now?Then I saw Hazel crossing the courtyard with Jaxon beside her. For a second, everything else disappeared.She looked different because she no longer carried herself like someone waiting for permission to exist.Jaxon said something that made her smile faintly. It wasn't a big smile, just enough to soften the exhaustion that ha

    Hazel’s POVI couldn’t sleep.The image of Jaxon’s back as he walked out of the library kept flashing in my head. Each step he took away from me made me regret what I had said earlier to him.I had pushed him too hard, or maybe I am overthinking everything, I don’t even know anymore. All I know is

    Hazel's POV The roar of the arena still buzzed with excitement in my ears from the fans as I made my way up the steps, weaving past people who were still talking about the win. My stepdad didn't look pleased at all. He was still standing with his arms crossed, and he didn't look like someone who

The place was dead quiet, except for a few doors slamming and screeching upstairs.I was about to take a turn at the
