Shared by the Three Captains CHAPTER 36: Cold Glass and Zero Mercy
The VIP lounge on the upper level of the arena glowed with soft gold light and the low murmur of alumni voices. Floor-to-ceiling glass stretched along one entire wall, showing the empty ice below like a dark mirror. Servers in black moved between clusters of men in suits and women in sharp dresses, offering trays of champagne and scotch. The air smelled like expensive cologne and polished wood.Elijah Castanier stood alone near the glass, one hand in the pocket of his dark suit pants, the other holding a heavy crystal glass of scotch. He had not touched the drink yet. He just swirled it slowly, watching the amber liquid catch the light. His ice-blue eyes stayed fixed on the empty rink below. His jet-black hair was perfect. His shoulders looked carved under the black suit jacket. He did not smile. He did not look at anyone.Portia Felize Mineses spotted him the second she stepped through the double doors. Her platinum blonde hair was perfect, silk-straight and shining. Her cold blue ey
Shared by the Three Captains CHAPTER 35: Cedar & Sauna Steam
CassyThe harassment wouldn’t stop. Every hallway on campus felt like a trap. Whispers. Phones pointed at me. Portia’s fake tears still circulating in edited clips. Hendrix’s stupid face in every comment section. I couldn’t breathe out there anymore.So I came home to the penthouse and headed straight for the private cedar sauna on the upper level. Mrs. Mori had already set the temperature. The room glowed warm and dim. I stripped down, wrapped a small white towel around my body, and stepped inside.Heat hit me like a thick blanket. Steam curled up from the rocks. The cedar benches were already hot under my bare thighs when I sat down. I leaned back, closed my eyes, and tried to let the anxiety sweat out of me.The glass door opened.Chase walked in wearing nothing but low-slung black athletic shorts. His golden skin already shone with a light sheen of moisture. Dark wavy hair stuck a little to his forehead. Those amber-brown eyes locked on me the second the door sealed behind him.“H
Shared by the Three Captains CHAPTER 34: He Laughed Right in Her Face
CassyI sat on the edge of the huge couch in the penthouse living room, elbows on my knees, staring at the floor like it had answers. The day had been a mess. Practice footage still played on the tablet in front of me, but I wasn’t really watching. My brain kept looping the same worries—Portia’s latest schemes, the pressure of the upcoming games, the way the guys looked at me like I was something precious and breakable at the same time.Mrs. Mori had left dinner in the warmer hours ago. I hadn’t touched it. My stomach felt tight. I pushed my glasses up my nose and rubbed my temples. The oversized hoodie I still wore sometimes when I needed to feel small swallowed my hands. I missed the quiet nights before everything got so loud. Before three captains decided I belonged to them. Before my ex and his new girlfriend decided I needed to be destroyed.My phone buzzed with another group text from the team chat. I ignored it. I just needed five minutes where nobody needed me to be brilliant
Shared by the Three Captains CHAPTER 33: He Put Himself Between Me and the Whole Campus
CassyThe hand around Hendrix’s wrist did not just stop him. It owned the space.I felt the air change before I even saw who it belonged to. A tall, solid body slid right between us, cutting Hendrix off from me like a wall that had decided I was done being touched. Chase Castillo’s messy dark brown waves caught the afternoon light. His amber-brown eyes were locked on Hendrix’s face, and for once there was no playful spark in them. Just something cold and sharp.Chase twisted.Hendrix’s arm bent back at an ugly angle. A rough sound tore out of his throat. His knees dipped. The gold watch on his wrist flashed as his fingers opened and closed uselessly.“Fuck—let go—”Chase’s voice stayed easy, almost bored, but loud enough for every phone in the circle to catch it. “Nah. You reached for her. That means we talk about manners.”I stood frozen against the fountain edge, heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. Chase’s back was broad and warm in front of me. The silver chain
Shared by the Three Captains CHAPTER 32: He Cornered Me in Front of Everyone
CassyI kept walking. My legs felt heavy, like the concrete under my sneakers was trying to pull me down, but I forced them to keep moving. The chaotic noise behind me—shouting, phones recording, people whispering my name like it was dirty—faded a little with every step. I just needed to get to the central campus quad. Somewhere open. Somewhere I could breathe without feeling like the whole world was closing in.The air was cool against my face. My oversized sweater still smelled faintly of rain from earlier, the sleeves too long, the fabric soft but not soft enough to stop the tightness in my chest. I pushed my glasses up the bridge of my nose and kept my eyes forward. Don’t look back. Don’t give them the satisfaction.Footsteps pounded behind me. Fast. Angry.“Cassy!”Hendrix’s voice cracked across the path like a whip. I didn’t stop. I sped up, heart slamming against my ribs. The fountain in the middle of the quad came into view—big stone thing with water spilling over the edges,
Shared by the Three Captains CHAPTER 31: She Framed Me on the Stairs
CassyThe student union felt too bright after the loss. Fluorescent lights bounced off the marble floors and made everything look sharp and cold. My legs still ached from standing on the sidelines for three periods of pure disaster. The team had folded. Bad passes. Missed checks. The kind of game that left the whole arena quiet on the way out. I kept my head down and my hands shoved deep in the pockets of my oversized hoodie. The thick tortoiseshell glasses sat heavy on my nose. I just wanted to get through the main hall, climb the stairs to the quiet study lounge on the second floor, and disappear for an hour.I reached the top of the wide marble staircase and started down. My sneakers scuffed softly against each step. Students moved around me in small groups, laughing too loud or scrolling on their phones. Nobody paid me much attention. That was fine. I preferred it that way after everything Portia and Hendrix had already tried.Halfway down I saw her.Portia stood near the bottom l
