Sage's POV

The first thing I registered was the gentle warmth, a comforting weight beside me. My eyelids fluttered open, adjusting to the soft morning light filtering through the blinds. And then I saw Andrew.

My breath hitched. He lay on his side, facing me, his dark hair a delightful mess against the pristine white pillow. Sunlight caught the sharp line of his jaw and highlighting the subtle stubble and his lips, slightly parted in sleep, looked so incredibly soft.

He was even more handsome like this as he was stripped of the usual tailored suits and the confident, sometimes aloof air he carried in the office. Here, in the quiet intimacy of his bed, he was just... beautiful.

A stray strand of hair fell across his forehead and an almost irresistible urge to reach out and brush it away rippled through me. My gaze traced the strong column of his neck, the broad expanse of his shoulders visible beneath the sheet that was draped over him. He was a masterpiece of masculine grace and th

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 108

    Andrew's POV She tilted her head to the side, a conflicted, indecipherable look flickered in her eyes before she looked away. "Well, so it was just a fleeting moment of pleasure after all. Then why do it in the first place? Why hurt the people around you if you know it isn't worthwhile or isn't going to last?" She said angrily, after noticing my lack of explanation. I sighed, the sound strained like the weight of the world was on my shoulder. "I never said it wasn't worth it, we just had to call it quits because we knew we were hurting the people around us. But with everything that's going on, I guess it's already too late for that," I said, my voice filled with silent regret. Not for the things that I had done but for the outcome of it."Wow, if you hadn't slept with my friend I might've thought you actually cared. I mean what's the point of it all. What is that you're not telling me?" She finally asked, her eyes staring wide at me and hoping for a response. Just then we heard a k

    Andrew's POV The air in the head of the school's office was thick with the scent of old paper and quiet disapproval. Hawthorne, a stern woman with a gaze that could peel paint, sat behind her large mahogany desk, her fingers steepled in a gesture of calm authority. I already knew why I was here; the campus whispers had reached a fever pitch, and my fate had been sealed long before this summons."Andrew," Hawthorne began, her voice crisp and devoid of emotion. "I trust you know why I've asked you to come in."I nodded, the word a heavy weight in my throat. "Yes, I do.""Good. Then I'll be direct," she said, leaning forward slightly. "Following the recent news regarding your... relationship with one of your players, the school council held an emergency meeting this morning. Their decision was unanimous. You are to be relieved of your duties as coach, effective immediately. Your conduct has been deemed to be in violation of school policy, and we advise you to comply with these terms to

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 106

    Sage's POV The team’s accusations came in a furious torrent, a wave of angry voices demanding answers I couldn’t give. They crowded around me, a sea of hostile faces, their words a barrage of accusations. “How could you do this?"“You ruined his career, you whore!” “Did you really sleep with him?”I was frozen, unable to speak, the shame and the shock was like a heavy blanket suffocating me. The world felt like it was closing in, every whisper a nail in my coffin. Just then, I saw her. Pauline. She walked into the basketball court, her face a mask of cold resolve, and my heart skipped a beat. A foolish, desperate hope flickered within me that she might defend me, that she might, for a moment, be my friend again.But she didn’t even look at me. She walked straight past the huddle of my teammates and up to one of the girls. “Where’s Andrew’s bag?” she asked, her voice calm and steady, a stark contrast to the chaos around her.“In the locker room,” the girl replied, her eyes wide with

    Sage's povThe next morning, the weight of the world felt impossibly heavy on my shoulders. Every muscle ached, every breath felt like a struggle. But I knew I couldn’t hide forever. With a deep, shuddering breath, I dragged myself out of bed, a ghost of my former self, and got ready for school.As I walked across campus, I felt it immediately. The stares. The whispers. Every head turned as I passed, every conversation seemed to pause and then resume in hushed tones. The eyes that followed me were a mix of pity, disgust, and morbid curiosity. It was the walk of shame, made real and public for the entire campus to see.I rushed to my locker, my head down, desperate to avoid eye contact. I grabbed my books and hurried to class, but even there, the whispers didn't stop. The familiar faces of my classmates were now a sea of judgment. I felt isolated, alone, a pariah in a place that had once felt like home.After the lecture, I was walking down the hall, my mind a haze of shame and pain, w

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 104

    Sage's POV The sight of Anastasia, her face a mask of cold fury, was the final, brutal act in the play of my betrayal. I didn’t wait for her to speak. I didn’t wait for Andrew to explain. The words he had just spoken, the cold, calculated lies he’d fed me to make me leave, were enough. I turned and ran, the front door slamming shut behind me with a finality that echoed the death of my heart.I didn’t look back. I didn't want to see his face, to see the pain he claimed to feel, the pain that wasn't enough to make him fight for me. I just ran, my feet pounding on the pavement, a silent, desperate escape from the wreckage of my life.I went home and collapsed on my bed, the world outside a distant, irrelevant hum. His words, the terrible, bitter lies he had spoken to me, were a constant replay in my head. “I lied… I wasn’t looking for a relationship… I just wanted to sleep with you…” Each word was a fresh cut, a new layer of pain. The tears came, hot and fast, a torrent of grief for a l

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 103

    Andrew's POV My chest ached with a pain so profound it was physical. Every word out of Sage’s mouth, every accusation, was a dagger to my heart. She couldn't understand, and how could she? How could she possibly comprehend the impossible choice I was making, the sacrifice I was forced to make for a promise I’d made to my daughter years ago?"You got lost?" she'd said, a bitter, broken laugh escaping her lips. "And you think that's an excuse? You let me fall for you, Andrew. You let me believe that this was something real, something worth fighting for."Tears streamed down her face, a sight that tore me to pieces. I had hurt her. I had hurt the one person who had managed to find a way back into my carefully constructed life, the one person who made me feel alive again. I had to end it. I had to stop the bleeding, even if it meant becoming the monster she now saw.“Sage, please,” I pleaded, my voice hoarse. “Don’t do this. I’m just trying to protect you.”“Protect me?” she scoffed, a f
