Sage's POV

"Are you sure this is going to work, Pauline?" I asked, a knot forming in my stomach. The library's hushed atmosphere felt like it was pressing in on me, amplifying my unease. "I really shouldn't be involved in this. It's... family."

Pauline, who was ever the force of nature, scoffed, already pulling a hefty fantasy novel from a shelf. "Sage, you are family! Always have been. My mom practically raised you, and even my dad thinks you're the bee's knees." She waved a dismissive hand, as if my very valid concerns were nothing more than dust motes in the afternoon light.

I bit my lip, forcing a flimsy smile. The idea of playing cupid for her parents of rekindling a flame that had seemingly fizzled out years ago, twisted something inside me. It felt wrong, a betrayal of... well, of a lot of things. But how could I explain it to Pauline without her finding out about Andrew? The mere thought of her discovering my secret relationship with her father sent a shiver down my spine. Pa

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 139

    Sage's POV Anastasia's presence was a toxic cloud, a storm that had just rolled into our little haven. She leaned down, her face a mask of feigned concern, her voice a low, venomous whisper. "Pauline," she said, her eyes boring into my best friend's. "You don't need to force yourself to be with them. You're better than this." She held Pauline's shoulder, a possessive, territorial grip. "I've been so worried about you, sweetheart. Especially when you didn't come home. Come with me. Let's go home."She held Pauline's hand, her fingers lacing with hers, a sickeningly sweet gesture that made my stomach churn. She pulled Pauline to her feet, a silent act of aggression. Then, she turned to Andrew and me, her face a mask of pure hatred. "You two should stop forcing yourselves on my daughter. You're shameless. Whatever is going on between you two, you should keep Pauline away from it."She started to drag Pauline away, but my best friend was stronger than she looked. Pauline pulled her hand

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 138

    Sage's POV Andrew suggested we all have dinner at his restaurant, a treat from him to celebrate our reunion. He and I left first. He dropped me off at my place so I could change before he drove home to get ready. The evening air felt different, lighter and filled with a promise of a new beginning.I went inside, my heart soaring, a joyful melody playing in my head. I quickly found a dress, a beautiful sapphire blue one that I had saved for a special occasion. I did my hair, a simple updo and applied a little makeup, my hands trembling with excitement. An hour later, the doorbell rang. It was Andrew. He was wearing a dark suit that fit him perfectly, and his eyes held a soft, loving gaze that made my heart flutter.He drove to the restaurant, a place I had never seen before. It was beautiful, with a warm, inviting ambiance and soft, romantic lighting. He had already made reservations and soon, Pauline and Kay joined us. We all sat together at a round table, a happy, reunited family an

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 137

    Sage's POV She wrapped her arms around both of us, her body a warm, comforting presence against mine. She held us tightly, her head resting on Andrew's shoulder and I could feel the silent sobs that racked her body. We held her just as tightly, our arms a protective shield around her, a promise to never let her go.After a long moment, she pulled away, her eyes still red, but a small, determined smile on her lips. She looked at Andrew, a playful glint in her eyes. "Dad," she said, her voice soft but firm. "If you ever hurt Sage, you don't need my permission to never forgive you. I have no intention of forgiving you."Andrew let out a warm, genuine laugh, the sound of a beautiful melody that was a balm to my bruised and broken heart. "I'll take your word for it, Pauline," he said, a proud, happy smile on his face.Just then, Kay walked back into the room, a tray of hot chocolate in his hands. He looked at us, his eyes filled with a new kind of relief and happiness. "I'm sorry to inte

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 136

    Sage's POV He stood there, his eyes filled with a raw, vulnerable plea, his hand reaching out to her, a silent offering of peace. The room was thick with a tense, expectant silence, the air heavy with unspoken emotions. Pauline just stared at him, her face a mask of conflicting emotions, a mix of anger, betrayal and a deep sadness. She didn't say anything, and I knew it was my turn to speak. I had to tell her the truth, all of it, without any pretense or lies. I had to show her how much I cared, how much I loved her, how much I needed her in my life.I took a deep breath, my heart pounding in my chest, a frantic drumbeat of nerves. I took a step closer to her, my voice thick with emotion. "Pauline," I began, my voice a soft, sincere whisper. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything. I know I hurt you. I know I betrayed your trust. I know I should have told you. And I know that my actions led to all of this. But I have to be honest with you. I don't regret meeting Andrew. And I don

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 135

    Sage's POV We stood on the porch, Mia's words ringing in our ears, a cold, empty feeling in the pit of my stomach. Pauline was gone. Mia hadn't seen her, which meant Anastasia also had no idea and Pauline had lied. My mind raced, trying to figure out where she could be. The city was a maze and Pauline could be anywhere. My heart pounded in my chest, a frantic drumbeat of dread.Just then, a thought, a single, clear thought, broke through the chaos. "Kay," I whispered, my voice thick with a sudden realization.Andrew looked at me, a confused expression on his face. "Kay? Who's Kay?""He's the only other person Pauline trusts," I said, my voice filled with a new kind of urgency. "He's her friend. He's been there for her. He's the only one I can think of who would know where she is. He's the only one she would trust enough to tell her where she's staying."Andrew's eyes widened with a dawning realization. He immediately pulled me to his car, his voice urgent. "Lead the way, Sage. We're

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 134

    Sage's POV I stood there, tears in my eyes, a wave of profound relief washing over me. He understood. He wasn't angry at me anymore. He was just a man, a father, who had been hurt and had lashed out in pain. I reached out and gently touched his arm, my voice a soft whisper. "I forgive you," I said, a small, genuine smile touching my lips. "I could never be angry with you."A genuine, grateful smile touched his lips and he took my hand, his fingers lacing with mine. The simple touch was a quiet promise of a new beginning. We sat there, on the edge of the basketball court, the sun setting behind us, casting a warm, orange glow over the city. We talked about everything, about the last few days, about the pain, the anger, the fear. We didn't leave anything unsaid. We were finally, completely, honest with each other."I'm so sorry, Sage," he said, his voice a low, sincere rumble. "I almost gave up on us. I almost let my anger get the best of me. But I'm not going to do that again. I'm goi
