~Zane~

When my finger hit the end call button on Chloe’s line, Marcus spun his tablet around toward me with a wide grin.

"Take a look at this, sir," Marcus said, tapping the screen. "The tides just completely flipped."

I glanced down at the screen, and a smile spread across my face.

The internet had already seen Kiara’s confessional.

The video of her calmly exposing Chloe’s greedy deal was spreading across every major platform.

The comments, which had been full of hate toward Kiara were now te

  • My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?   121. Noah’s Immediate Comeback

    ~Arabella~At first, I thought it was just the carrier bag moving. Then the thick, scaly body slowly pushed its way through the opening.It suddenly felt so difficult to breathe. It was much bigger than I had imagined. The snake slid over the edge of the backpack and dropped onto the floor with a heavy thud.And suddenly, the cafeteria exploded.Students screamed and scrambled away from the tables, some nearly tripping over their own feet in their rush to get away.Chairs scraped violently across the floor as people shoved backward, while a few students actually climbed onto their seats, lifting their legs as if the snake could somehow reach them.Someone dropped a tray, sending plates and food crashing onto the floor.Another student screamed and grabbed her friend’s arm, dragging her toward the far end of the cafeteria. Within seconds, the noise became unbearable.Priya’s phone nearly slipped from her hand, but she caught it just in time.Her face had gone pale as she stared at th

  • My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?   120. The Initiation Ritual

    ~Arabella~The morning sun shone brightly over the academy courtyard, but I barely noticed it.I was still angry about what had happened the other day. Noah, the arrogant transfer student, had accidentally tripped and spilled an entire tray of sticky, greasy cafeteria food all over my clothes.That was embarrassing enough. But what made me even angrier was how he acted afterward.When he threw his jacket over my shoulders, he actually had the nerve to warn me to return it.Bring it back? To him? Please.As a sixteen-year-old sophomore who had ruled this school for years, I was not about to take orders from some new senior.I intentionally left his jacket crumpled at the bottom of my closet purely because I wanted to put the insolent newcomer firmly in his place.No one crossed me and got away with it. I needed to remind him exactly who owned this campus.By mid-morning, I had gathered my inner circle of sophomore elites in our usual secluded alcove. My girls were ready for action.Pri

  • My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?   119. Daddy is coming soon

    ~Kiara~Snow’s innocent question hung and pressed down on my chest until it was hard to breathe.“Where is daddy? You promised you were going to bring him home with you when you came back.”My heart shattered all over again. For a second, my mind scrambled for a lie which would becsomething soft and comforting to deflect the truth.But the memory of everything that had just happened, flashed through my mind. I couldn't do it anymore. I knew from bitter experience that the longer you hide behind a web of falsehoods, the deeper the hole you dig until you’re buried alive.I swallowed hard, blinking back the hot tears stinging my eyes, and gently brushed a soft lock of hair away from her pale forehead.“Baby... Mummy had to rush home very, very fast because you were sick,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion. “When you get all better and strong again, I promise you... you’ll get to see him.”I paused, taking a shaky breath before deciding to give her a glimpse of the truth. “And you

    ~Kiara~She glanced briefly toward the ICU doors before looking back at me. “I’ve met little Snow once or twice before. She’s such a sweet little girl, and I just wanted to help out however I could.”Something about the sincerity in her voice softened me, but the older-sister part of me still couldn’t stop asking questions.I tilted my head slightly and studied her face. “What about your parents? Don’t they mind you being out all night?”Lily bit her lip and shifted awkwardly from one foot to the other. “Ah… my parents are currently traveling out of state, so I’m staying at our house alone right now.”My eyebrows rose slightly at that answer, and I glanced at Elijah again.He suddenly looked even more uncomfortable, which only made my suspicion grow.Before I could ask anything else, my father gently cleared his throat, and Elijah quickly took the opportunity to step away.While Elijah and Lily stepped away to grab some water and give my father and me a moment to breathe, I watched th

    ~Kiara~The drone of the airplane engines had lulled me into a deep, exhausted sleep the moment we cleared the runway.I didn’t stir once during the flight, not even when the cabin lights changed or passengers moved around us. I was completely drained, and after everything that had happened, my body had finally taken the opportunity to shut down.I didn’t wake until the sudden bump of the landing gear hitting the tarmac jolted me out of my sleep.I blinked hard against the cabin lights, disoriented for a moment as I looked around at the passengers already reaching for their bags.It took me a few seconds to realise that we had touched down in Seattle.I immediately turned toward Mateo, who was sitting right beside me, and shot him an accusing glare. “Why didn’t you wake me up before we landed? You know how I get when I sleep like the dead!”I rubbed my tired eyes and pushed a few strands of hair away from my face, still feeling like I could fall asleep right there in my seat.Mateo d

    ~Alexei~The night had been nothing short of psychological torture for me.I hadn’t slept a single wink.Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Tinsley’s soft smile on the yacht right before the producers called me away, and every time I opened them, the endless ocean came crashing back.I had spent the entire night pacing around our empty suite, unable to sit still for more than a few minutes.My phone stayed clutched in my hand as I waited for a call, a message, a knock on the door, anything that would tell me they had found her.I looked over at the photos we took just yesterday evening and how I had never felt that free with someone and now, I couldn’t find her. Every few minutes, I checked the screen even though I already knew there would be nothing there. There were no missed calls and no new messages. Nothing but then the silence was slowly driving me insane. I couldn’t tell if I could take it anymore. As the first pale streaks of dawn began to appear across the ho
