MAXTON'S POV

“What about Zeke?” I asked, raising my eyebrow. My curiosity took over as I waited for her to tell me everything.

I had been curious for hours about what happened the day before, but I respected her boundaries. I didn’t want to bother her with unnecessary questions when she clearly wasn’t in the mood to answer.

“Well, he and Bambi are together,” she blurted out, then took a deep breath. “They are like some kind of evil couple who teamed up and planned schemes to keep you and me apart because they think we are some kind of lovers which is not true,” she said hurriedly and I was kind of disappointed about that part, “I found out yesterday,” she added. Her cheeks turned red as she looked away, unable to keep talking.

It was clear she was too embarrassed to admit everything.

“Bambi and Zeke?” I sighed. “That is not very surprising. I tried to tell you he was bad news, but I guess he was really manipulative and you were really angry at me so…” I trailed off before adding, “Ba

    Talia's POV. A few days happened to pass by and I was stuck in my limbo of thoughts as I tried to figure out how I was going to fit into a dress so heavy that I could feel the weight from mere looking at it. The feathers on the neck were a bit over the top and the corset seemed pretty slim for my shape. I would have thought they confused my age with that of a fifteen years old girl, but my mother assured me it was my size. “It doesn't have to look like your size baby, it just has to feel like it, I bet you will be comfortable when you try it,” she said in a feeble attempt to convince me. “And if I'm not?” I looked at her, folding my hands with a sigh. “Don’t you think it's umm… I don't know, something about this dress doesn't feel right,” “Talia, the dress is okay, you're just not feeling it coz I approved of it. If I had said no, you'd be throwing a fit,” my mother replied, holding the transparent sleeves up. “You think that?” I questioned. “I know it. You know what, I think I

    Talia's POV. I hated myself at that point. I was pumped up for this date, but the moment a thought of fear crept into my head, everything came crashing down like dominoes. “Talia,” Maxton cut in as I paused for a deep breath. I managed to look up at him. My hands brushed the menu list in the table in the process. “I thought of that before making reservations in this restaurant, you know.” He echoed. “We are safe here and before anyone would think to take pictures of us, the security would send them out before they take out their phone,” He leaned closer, his eyes innocent and reflecting a calm look. “It's okay, I brought us here to spend time together,” His grip tightened and I forced out a smile, hoping I would loosen up quickly. Soon enough, a waiter came to take our orders. Maxton took his time to order while I watched him as he gestured along without worry. “I'll get some grilled fillet mignon and some truffle fries by the side,” he said to the tall waitress. She smiled and

    Maxton's POV. O'Neil had a killer stare, the type that was thirsty for blood. He struggled to set himself free from Johnny's tight grasp while Jason groaned silently from the cut on his face. “O'Neil, I said stop it!” I growled. Instantly, he turned to face me, a defiant look etched on his face. “You don't tell me what to do,” he thundered. “You've watched them make fun of me and even laughed with them, now's not the time to assert your fucking dominance,” There was a cold silence after that. We stared intensely at each other for up to a minute, my hands clenching and unclenching momentarily. A part of me knew he wasn't wrong but a part of me also hated the disrespect in his tone. “God damnit!” A deep, croaky voice growled as he stomped in. “I leave for what? Twenty minutes and you all are on each other's neck? The hell is wrong with y'all?” Our coach fired. He took a deep breath, then, blaring through his whistle with a full blown force. “Everyone, on your knees. I want to see

    Maxton's POV. “My hockey bag is getting heavier by the day,” Johnny quipped, sending my team into a chaos of loud laughter. “Maybe you should check it, I heard O'Neil is into rocks. He might have some of his rocks in your bag.” We all turned to stare at O'Neil, a member of our hockey team. He was always calm, calculative…and spiteful. Hence, the reason he was always a target of these jokes. He appeared lost in thought, but as he noticed that we all turned to face him, he raised his head up, curling his brow in curiosity. “What's wrong?” He asked. “We heard you're keeping rocks in Johnny's bag,” one of them echoed. They burst out laughing and Johnny shook his head, realizing that the guys had lost the context of his joke. Before O'Neil could bite back a reply, our coach walked in, a large whistle hanging on his neck. I sprung up quickly, my head raised high, and shoulders squared up as if we were in the military. “We have a match right up our noses and you think making jokes is

  • Her Hockey Stepbrother, Her Worst Enemy, Her Beloved   Chapter 129

    Talia's POV. I prayed heavily for a sudden discourse to occur between father and son, but Eris failed me. They were always at loggerhead but when I needed it the most, Maxton stood speechless, even pulling back as though tired of their countless arguments. “I'll wait for you in the car. We'll go to school together,” he said, proceeding to walk away.No, don't walk away like that, I thought to myself. Where was the growling? The Gala for goodness sake, couldn't Mr Carter bring it up? Anything at all to make me slip out without having to talk to him. As Maxton walked out of our sight, he took a step forward, feeling every vibration as he got closer. “How are you? Hope you're having a swell morning?” He asked. It took a while to nod at his question and it was brief. He slouched his shoulder and stared at his feet. “You are still mad at me for yesterday?” He uttered, his voice firm and deep. I looked away, smoothing my sleeves over and over. “I'm… I'm not,” I forced out a laugh. “

    She pressed her lips together, looking away as I stared at her in disbelief. Her statement could only remind me of Mr Carter's threat earlier. I felt the cold chills run down my spine, the jitters sending me into a flux of goosebumps. “You are always so dramatic, Talia,” she suddenly sighed. “There is nothing about this event that will take away your dignity, you don't have to make me seem like the bad guy everytime,” “The bad guy,” I quoted, rolling my eyes. “You've given me the answer I needed to know. I've heard you, I won't disappoint you so can I be left alone,” I glanced at the door, gesturing it was time she left. “That's all I wanted to hear from you,” she cracked a smile, leaping into motion. “I can't believe you're so tone-deaf,” I whispered, though barely audible, but enough to grab her attention.“Pardon me,” she raised her eyebrows. I bit hard on my lips as I tried to stop myself from lashing at her. “I said, have a goodnight,” I lied, my chest heavy with raw emoti
