CHAPTER 28

"Someone was watching him from outside the school grounds."

The words hit Olivia like a slap. Her whole body went cold, every muscle locking at once.

Killian pulled the phone away from his ear, watching her face drain of color. "Olivia. What's wrong?"

"Nothing." The word came out too fast, too thin.

He didn't buy it for a second. He was already standing, already pulling his keys out of his pocket. "Get in the car."

They didn't speak the whole drive. Olivia's knee bounced the entire w

  • THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX    THE SHADOW OUTSIDE

    CHAPTER 30Someone is outside again.Olivia's whole body went cold. She flicked the lights off in one motion, pulling Charles away from the window before he could ask another question."Room. Now. Stay there until I come get you."He didn't argue. Something in her voice told him not to.She moved along the wall, staying low, peering through a gap in the curtains. A shape near the tree line. Still. Watching.Her hands shook as she pulled out her phone and called Killian.He picked up on the second ring. "Olivia?""I think someone's outside."His voice changed instantly, sharp and alert. "Lock every door. Don't open them for anyone but me. I'm on my way."She locked the front door, checked the deadbolt twice, then heard it. Footsteps. Slow, deliberate, near the back entrance.She pulled up the security app on her phone with trembling fingers. The camera feed loaded, grainy and dim, showing a hooded figure standing motionless near the stairwell.Then the figure turned. Looked directly up

  • THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX    THE LIE SHE COULDN'T TELL

    CHAPTER 29"Who is Charles's father?"The question hung there. Olivia's mouth opened, no answer ready, when small footsteps padded up behind her."Mom, who's at the door?"Killian's whole face changed the second he saw him. Whatever hardness had been sitting there melted into something gentler."Hey, buddy."Charles grinned, backpack still slung over one shoulder. "I thought you were coming tomorrow.""Plans changed." Killian glanced at Olivia when he said it.She moved without thinking, stepping half in front of Charles, putting herself between him and whatever was about to happen next.Killian noticed. Of course he noticed."Why are you acting like I'm going to hurt him?""I'm not.""You are."Charles looked between the two of them, uncertain, sensing weather in the room he couldn't name. Then he brightened, remembering something, and darted back to grab the football off the couch."Look, I got this at the clinic. Killian signed it and everything. Want to see?"He launched into the

The word came out too fast, too thin.He didn't buy it for a second. He was already standing, already pulling his keys out of his pocket. "Get in the car."They didn't speak the whole drive. Olivia's knee bounced the entire way, her hands twisted together in her lap so tight her knuckles went white.Principal Reyes met them at the entrance, her expression apologetic and tense. "Charles is fine. I want to be clear about that first. A teacher on yard duty noticed a man lingering near the front gate for longer than felt normal. By the time she went to check, he was gone.""What did he look like?" Killian asked, already in a mode Olivia had never seen from him before, sharp, controlled, all business."Middle aged. She d

  • THE STAR PLAYER IS HER EX    SOMEONE WAS WATCHING

    CHAPTER 27The photograph on the screen didn't blink, didn't move, just stayed there showing her son asleep behind glass someone else had been standing on the other side of.Olivia's first instinct was to grab Charles and run. Get him dressed, get him in the car, drive until the city disappeared behind them.She didn't move.Running was exactly what someone wanted. Panic. Mistakes. She forced her breathing to slow, counted to ten, made herself think instead of react.She checked the front door twice. Deadbolt. Chain. She went window to window pulling curtains shut, fingers still trembling but steadier now, methodical. Then she went into Charles's room and, as quietly as she could manage, pushed his bed away from the window, toward the wall furthest from the street.He stirred halfway through, blinking up at her, groggy. "Mom? Why are you moving my bed?""Just being extra careful, baby." She kept her voice light, easy, nothing in it that would scare him. "You're too important for me to

  • 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
