ALESSIA’s POV

I couldn’t sleep throughout the night. I had spent most of it staring at my ceiling, turning from one side of the bed to the other while my mind replayed everything that had happened in the cafeteria.

Adrian’s expression.

The fight.

Most of all, the fight.

Zane had walked out without so much as a glance in my direction, and my heart sank even further.

Adrian had really injured him, despite the wounds he had already gotten from the previous match.

I had called Zane more times than

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 84: Drunk on heartbreak.

    ZANE’s POV. Everything in me stopped the second I set my eyes on Caleb kissing Alessia.I’d expected it. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I’d been waiting for it. But not this soon. And I definitely hadn’t expected it to gut me the way it did.She didn’t look sorry. She didn’t even look regretful. She just stood there, her lips still slightly parted, and when her eyes finally flicked up to meet mine, she couldn’t hold my gaze. Somehow, that was worse than if she’d glared at me. Looking away made me feel like she already knew what she’d done and had decided I wasn’t worth an explanation.Caleb looked confused as hell. The fucker had no idea what he’d stepped into. I gave them one last look before turning away, unwilling to find out what I might do if I stayed another second. Something I’d end up explaining to the police, the team, and every group chat in the city, probably.What’s worse than watching someone you were literally building your life around kiss someone else?Nothing.Not

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 83: Look at you, Sunshine.

    ALESSIA’s POV. Noise, noise, and just noise. I was already feeling suffocated by the time I entered the house. It was different from every other party at Northbridge, mainly because of the smaller crowd.Perhaps there was another party going on somewhere else, or the students had suddenly developed a brain.The smell of alcohol and cigarettes hit me immediately, followed by the heat of sweaty bodies from the hockey and football teams. My eyes searched the room before I remembered I was here with someone else, who was equally busy holding my hand. I looked down at our joined hands before looking up at him and giving him a smile.He returned it. “If you start feeling aches anywhere or get tired, just tell me, and we’ll get out of here, okay?” he said, and I nodded before nudging his shoulder.“I’m not a toddler. I can survive a few noises and a few shots of alcohol, too,” I replied. He frowned at me but eventually shrugged it off, respecting my decision.I liked that.We made our way t

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 82: A little revenge.

    ALESSIA’s POV. His smile came almost immediately, and I returned one of my own.“Bennett,” he called, walking in with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other. I suddenly craved chocolate and immediately stood up to rush towards him, completely forgetting that my head had been banging. Surprisingly, the pain seemed to have eased.Caleb laughed and handed me the chocolates as I walked back to my bed. He then placed the flowers on the bedside stand.“You sure know how to create a scene. I was worried sick when Kendra called me and told me what happened,” he said with a worried expression. I smiled and glared at Adrian when he snickered behind us.“I’m fine now. Apparently, chocolates solve all problems, don’t they?” I said, making him laugh. He sat down and started filling me in on everything going on with his team. By then, Adrian had left and returned a few minutes later with a nurse.“Alessia Bennett?” she called with a professional smile, though it was

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 81: Still him.

    ALESSIA’s POV. Bang… bang… bang.A very loud one at the back of my head and the front, too. It felt like someone had shoved a drum inside my skull and decided to beat the hell out of it.I slowly opened my eyes, immediately regretting it when the bright light above me stabbed through my vision.“Fuck,” I whispered, squeezing them shut again. Then I tried to raise my head, only for the pain to get worse.“What the hell?” I murmured, raising my palm to my forehead.“Alessia?”I recognised that voice. Adrian.“Thank God.” His voice sounded closer now, and I felt his fingers wrap around mine. “Hey, hey, take it easy. Don’t move too quickly, okay?”I tried opening my eyes again, blinking several times until the blurry figure beside me finally became recognisable. Adrian sat in a chair next to my bed, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. His expression was somewhere between relief and the kind of anger that made me wonder what I’d done wrong.Why was he looking at me like that?“W

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 80: Moved on?

    ALESSIA’s POV. I’d gotten a call from Coach and the head media team that I needed to be at the rink that morning for practice so I could get pre-game shots for the papers before the interview.That should have been easy, except I was going to be a few feet from my ex-boyfriend… the only person I still craved, no matter how things had ended between us. And I was going to watch him play as usual, act like I was fine, and pretend I wasn’t itching to scream my head off at him.I got dressed simply and drove across campus to the rink, counting numbers in my head so I wouldn’t have to think about him or anything that had to do with him. It was difficult—fucking difficult—because twice I caught myself checking the rear-view mirror to inspect my appearance and trying to rearrange my hair.Just to look good for him.Just to look like the girl who had moved on. A strained tear slipped from my eye because I hadn’t. Not when I’d tried to convince myself otherwise or even when I’d changed my look

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 79: Desperate Measures.

    ZANE’s POV. The night air helped a little. At least out here, I didn’t have to watch Alessia laugh at another man’s jokes or pretend I wasn’t bothered by the way he kept touching her. I shoved my hands into my pockets and leaned against the brick wall, trying to get my head to shut the fuck up. It had been three weeks since I ended things, and somehow, watching her with Caleb West tonight made those three weeks feel like nothing. Like I was right back where I started, wanting a girl I had no business wanting and hating myself for it.I hated that I was even out here thinking about it. Three fucking weeks, and I was still acting like a pathetic idiot over a girl I had personally told to get over me.The worst part was that I couldn’t even blame her. Caleb seemed like a decent guy, from what I’d seen. Good-looking bastard too, which only made things more annoying. He played hockey, knew how to talk to people without looking like he wanted to punch them in the face, and apparently knew
