THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX THE SECRET BETWEEN THEM
CHAPTER 26David walked off toward the parking lot without looking back. Olivia stood there watching him go, his last words stuck on repeat in her head. You may lose him forever. She wrapped her arms tighter around herself, like that could hold anything together.Footsteps behind her. She didn't turn."Who was he?"She looked at the ground instead of at Killian. "Someone from my past."A short laugh came out of him, no humor in it at all. "Funny how everyone from your past keeps showing up lately."She glanced up. Something was written across his face he probably didn't mean to show. Jealousy, plain and simple, and he looked almost annoyed with himself for feeling it.A small, unwilling tug pulled at the corner of her mouth. "You sound jealous.""I'm not.""You absolutely are.""I've matured since high school."She raised an eyebrow at him. "You just glared David halfway across the parking lot."That nearly got a smile out of him. Nearly. Then his jaw tightened again, and whatever sof
THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX THE QUESTION HE COULDN'T IGNORE
CHAPTER 25Nobody moved for a second. Olivia's mouth opened, no words came out. David just stood there, hands still in his pockets, looking like a man caught between two versions of the truth. Charles looked from face to face, confused. Adults weren't supposed to look this way at each other.Olivia found her voice first."He came to talk to me. About something from the past. That's all.""Something from the past." Killian's voice went flat. "How convenient.""Killian—" David started."Don't." Olivia cut him off fast, sharp enough that David actually stepped back. Her eyes flicked toward Charles, then back to David, a silent warning neither man could miss.Killian caught the look. Filed it away."What are you afraid he's going to tell me?"Nothing. Olivia had nothing.Charles filled the silence instead, tugging at her sleeve. "Mom, is he the man you told me about? The one who helped you when I was little?"Her heart stopped. Just stopped.David's jaw tightened. He understood exactly ho
THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX THE MAN FROM SEVEN YEARS AGO
CHAPTER 24 David stared at his phone after the call ended. Mara. After seven years of silence, Mara. He didn't call back right away. He made coffee first, let it cool untouched on the counter, tried to convince himself the message could wait. It couldn't. He called back within the hour. "I need you in Los Angeles," Mara said, no greeting, straight to business the way she always did. "Why." "You know why." He did. He just didn't want to say it out loud. "I helped Olivia once," David said. "I'm not helping you tear apart whatever peace she's built since." Mara's voice sharpened. "Killian is already close to the boy. Closer than you'd think. If he figures out the truth on his own, without preparation, it destroys everyone. Olivia. The boy. You, too, once people learn what you did seven years ago." Silence. "That's a threat." "That's a fact." David closed his eyes. Seven years of guilt sat heavy behind them. "What do you want." "Come to Los Angeles. Watch. That's all. For now.
THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX THE QUESTION HE WASN'T MEANT TO HEAR
CHAPTER 23Killian's feet stopped moving before his brain caught up to why.He'd rounded the corner near the principal's office with a box of donated cleats balanced against one hip, half listening to the assistant beside him rattle off numbers about jersey sizes, when a small voice cut clean through everything else in the hallway."Mom... why doesn't my dad want me?"The question landed somewhere low in his chest, harder than any blitz he'd ever taken unblocked. He set the box down without really deciding to, his hands suddenly needing to be empty, needing to be free in case his body decided to do something his mind hadn't caught up with yet.Through the half open door, he could see them. Olivia on her knees on the tile floor, cupping Charles's face between both palms, her whole body curved protectively around him like she could shield him from the question just by holding him close enough."Listen to me, sweetheart." Her voice wavered, thin and careful, the sound of someone trying v
THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX THE WOMAN WHO NEVER FORGOT
CHAPTER 22Miss Ashford stayed quiet on the line as Mara recounted the clinic in detail, the passing drills, the laughter, the way Killian had brushed past a room full of sponsors just to watch a seven year old learn to plant his feet correctly. With every word, the silence on the other end grew colder, heavier, until it felt less like listening and more like waiting."That should never have happened." Miss Ashford's voice, when it finally came, was quiet enough to be terrifying."I tried." Mara's grip on the phone tightened. "He wouldn't listen to anyone. He just walked away from the sponsors like they didn't matter."There was a long pause before Miss Ashford spoke again, each word measured and deliberate."Watch Olivia. If she suspects the truth is getting close, she'll make a mistake. And when she does, we'll be ready."The line went dead, and Mara stood there in the quiet of her office, an uneasy chill settling deep into her chest despite the summer heat outside.At Thunderbirds

CHAPTER 21Miss Ashford picked up on the second ring, and Mara didn't waste a single second before diving in."They spent nearly the entire afternoon together. Killian couldn't take his eyes off the boy."Silence pooled on the other end of the line, long enough that Mara pulled the phone away from her ear just to check the call hadn't dropped.When Miss Ashford finally spoke, her voice came out chillingly even. "I warned you this day could come.""He doesn't suspect anything," Mara said quickly, her grip tightening around the phone. "Killian has no idea.""He doesn't have to suspect." A pause, cold and deliberate. "The truth has a way of revealing itself whether we're ready or not."The line went dead before Mara could respond, and she stood there a moment longer than she meant to, an unfamiliar chill settling into her chest that no amount of confidence could quite shake loose.Across the city, Killian drove home from the clinic with the radio off, his mind circling back to the same s
