The laughter hadn’t even fully faded from the hallway when a familiar group of voices echoed again, sharp and mocking.

I tensed immediately.

Emilia noticed it too, because her grip on my arm tightened slightly as she turned her head toward the sound. “Don’t tell me…”

I didn’t need her to finish.

Samantha and her group were already walking toward us, their heels clicking confidently against the floor like they owned every inch of the university. Samantha led them with a smug smile, her arms swin

  • Hated by the Mafia Hockey Star   Chapter 13

    For several long seconds, I couldn't answer her, not because I didn't know what the truth was, but because I was afraid of what that truth might reveal if I finally allowed myself to say it out loud.Melanie watched me carefully, her eyes fixed on me as neither of us spoke, and the silence between us stretched longer and longer until I finally looked away."I don't know."The words left my lips much softer than I had intended.Melanie let out a quiet sigh."I think you do."I rubbed my tired eyes, and although the tears had finally stopped falling, the exhaustion remained, settling heavily over me until every part of my body felt completely drained emotionally, mentally, and physically."I don't admire who he is now."Melanie remained silent, allowing me to continue."But sometimes..."I hesitated before forcing the next words out."Sometimes I still remember who I thought he was."A sad smile slowly appeared on Melanie's face."That's different."I frowned."Is it?""Yes."She leaned

    The rest of the afternoon passed in a blur.I finished cleaning the hallway long after most students had left for their next classes. Emilia stayed with me the entire time despite my repeated attempts to convince her to go."You know you don't have to babysit me," I muttered as I pushed the mop across the floor.Emilia leaned against the wall, arms crossed."And you know you're terrible at pretending you're okay."I glanced at her.She raised an eyebrow."See? Exactly."A reluctant smile almost escaped me.Almost.Because the moment I remembered Samantha's words, the small spark of amusement disappeared.You're already on Dravik's radar.The sentence had followed me all afternoon.I hated that it bothered me.I hated that his name still affected me at all.Most of all, I hated that despite everything Khaelon Dravik had done, a part of me still remembered the person I used to admire.The person I thought he was.Not this version.Not the cold student council president who seemed determ

    The silence after my words stretched longer than I expected.Samantha’s smile twitched, like she was trying to force it back into place but failing. Her friends shifted uncomfortably beside her, suddenly unsure whether this was still entertaining or if it had crossed into something they couldn’t control anymore.For a moment, I thought she would leave.But then she laughed.A short, sharp sound.“And what exactly do you think that means?” she asked, tilting her head as she looked at me like I was something amusing again.I didn’t answer immediately. I simply tightened my grip on the bucket and stood still, refusing to give her the satisfaction of seeing me flinch.Emilia, however, stepped closer to me, her voice low but firm. “It means you should stop before you embarrass yourself further.”That made one of Samantha’s friends scoff.“Oh please,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Look at her. She’s literally cleaning toilets. What pride is she even talking about?”Another girl laughed, nudg

    The laughter hadn’t even fully faded from the hallway when a familiar group of voices echoed again, sharp and mocking.I tensed immediately.Emilia noticed it too, because her grip on my arm tightened slightly as she turned her head toward the sound. “Don’t tell me…”I didn’t need her to finish.Samantha and her group were already walking toward us, their heels clicking confidently against the floor like they owned every inch of the university. Samantha led them with a smug smile, her arms swinging casually as her eyes landed on me holding a mop near the maintenance area.Her lips curved upward almost instantly.“Well, well, well,” she said slowly, dragging each word as her gaze traveled from my face down to the cleaning supplies in my hands.Her friends snickered behind her, exchanging amused looks like they were watching a live performance made just for them.I tightened my grip on the mop handle but forced myself to stay still.Emilia stepped slightly in front of me, her posture st

    For a moment, I just stared at his outstretched hand. Part of me wanted to ignore it after the way he had dismissed me earlier. But then I remembered that the collision had been partly my fault. I had been too distracted and wasn't paying attention to where I was going.Taking a slow breath, I pushed aside my pride and accepted his hand.“Ms. Vida Elene Moretti,” I introduced myself politely. “I'm a scholar here.”His smile widened.“Wow. That means you're intelligent.”Heat crept up my cheeks as I shifted my weight awkwardly.“Not really,” I replied with an awkward laugh.Jacob chuckled softly and shook his head.“Trust me, earning a scholarship isn't easy.”For the first time since being summoned to the guidance office, I found myself relaxing slightly. The knot in my chest loosened a little, and I almost forgot about the humiliation waiting for me.Then I remembered his question. My brows furrowed as I looked at him.“Wait,” I said. “What did you mean earlier when you asked if you

    My stomach dropped when I saw him step out of that room, Khaelon Dravik. Tall, expressionless, and colder than I remembered. His eyes, so sharp and calculating, immediately locked onto me, making my heart race faster than I could control. I clutched my notebook tighter, feeling the weight of everyone’s gaze, the whispers swirling around us.He paused, as if weighing whether I deserved his attention. Then, in that calm yet terrifying voice, he spoke.“You argued and insulted the daughters of the families who pay big money to this university, the ones your kind looks up to,” he said, voice low and dangerous. “Because of that, you’re going to be punished.”My eyes widened, dread pooling in my stomach. I had only defended myself against their sneers, their mocking words. I didn’t think I’d done anything wrong. If anything, I’d only stood up for myself. But his expression told me he saw it differently.Khaelon’s gaze hardened as he took a step closer, voice low but deadly.“They pay a lot
