The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 68: Broken Trust
NOAH’S POVMy sneakers screeched against the hardwood of the court, a sharp, piercing sound that ricocheted off the steel rafters and drilled directly into my skull. "Again!" Coach barked from the baseline, his whistle clamped between his teeth. "Blue line and back, Hale! Look like you actually want to be in the tournament tomorrow!"My lungs were on fire but the physical pain was the only thing keeping me from completely snapping. I slammed the ball onto the floor, catching it on the rebound, and sprinted.I needed the burn. I needed my muscles to scream and my vision to blur at the edges. I was trapped. Every single wall I’d ever built to keep myself safe had just turned into a cage."Yo, Captain! Heads up!"The voice cut through my haze just as I hit the three-point line.Jax. He caught my chest pass, his sneakers sliding on the glossy floor as he spun and dropped a casual layup through the net. He was grinning, his dark curls damp with sweat, completely unbothered by the fact th
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 67: The Missing File
ELENA’S POVThe cursor just blinked.I sat completely frozen in my desk chair. My desktop wasn't right. I’m meticulous about my workspace. I have to be. When you're juggling twenty credit hours, and athletic department press releases, you don't leave things messy. But right now, the icons were shifted two inches to the left. The trash bin was empty—even though I’d dumped three drafts of the post-game summary into it last night before my brain shut down.My palm felt slick against the mouse as I forced myself to double-click the local drive.Documents. Athletic Communications. Spring Tourney. Hidden System Archive.I hit the enter key. The window loaded, and my stomach instantly turned entirely inside out, a violent wave of nausea hitting my throat so hard I had to press my hand over my mouth to keep from gagging.The subfolder was empty. The one titled The Real Noah was all gone. Completely wiped from the directory."No, no, no, no," I muttered as my fingers flew across the keys, ripp
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 66: Something Is Amiss
NOAH'S POVThe gym room smelled like iron, sweat, and the faint rubber burn of mats that had seen too many battles. Clangs of plates echoed off the walls as guys pushed through their last sets of the day. Laughter mixed with grunts, the usual post-practice chatter that usually settled after a long day of heavy lifting.I finished my set of pull-ups with muscles burning, and dropped to the floor, wiping sweat from my face with the bottom of my shirt. My eyes scanned the room out of habit — checking on the call me but, making sure no one was pushing too hard after the tough practice Coach had run us through. But my gaze kept landing on Jax.He was spotting Marcus on the bench press, but his attention was somewhere else. His eyes flicked to his phone again, resting on the floor beside the rack. He checked it for the third time in ten minutes before Marcus even finished the rep. When Marcus racked the bar with a heavy clang, Jax forced a laugh and clapped him on the shoulder, but the smil
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 65: The Boy Beneath The Captain
ELENA’S POV2:17 a.m.The dorm room was wrapped in darkness except for the soft blue glow of my laptop screen. My eyes felt like sandpaper and were smarting. My neck ached from being hunched over for so long, but I couldn’t stop. The words were spilling out of me like they’d been locked away for years, finally breaking free in the quiet hours when no one else was watching.I was writing the article I could never publish. The one the world wouldn't get to see."The Real Noah Hale: The Boy Beneath the Captain, The Grief Beneath the Game."I don't know what really inspired that title. My fingers kept flying across the keyboard, my heart pounding harder with every sentence. This wasn’t the safe, professional profile the media department wanted. This was raw. Honest. Dangerous and crossing the line.I wrote about the boy who carried the weight of his team on his shoulders while carrying the ghosts of his stepfather’s mistakes in silence. The boy who smiled for the cameras and the scouts bu
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 64: I'd Lay It All Down For Her
NOAH'S POV The scouts were here.There weren't just one or two but three of them. They wore suits that cost more than my entire wardrobe, had clipboards in hand, and eyes that measured everything from my footwork to the way I tied my shoes. They’d been following me around campus all day like quiet shadows. Watching my warm-ups. Taking notes during drills and also, whispering to each other during film review.This was it.The moment I’d been working toward since I was twelve years old. The draft. The future. Everything my coach had drilled into me, everything I’d sacrificed for, plus everything that was supposed to define me.But all I could think about was her.Elena sat on the bleachers near the baseline, her legs crossed, notebook open on her lap like she was just doing her job. But I knew better. She was pretending to take notes while the whole world felt like it was closing in on me. Her hair was pulled up messily, a few strands falling loose around her face. She looked focused a
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 63: The Girl He Never Knew
ELENA'S POV I was slumped in one of those oversized armchairs near the windows, my black off-shoulder top still slightly damp from the rain I’d walked through earlier. My phone sat face-down on the table like it might explode if I touched it. My head was pounding. My chest felt tight. I was so tired of pretending everything was fine.The automatic doors slid open and the cold night air rushed in. I didn’t look up at first. Then I heard the footsteps and suddenly, Lucas Kane stopped right in front of me.Of course it was him.He looked annoyingly put-together in his dark coat, like he hadn’t spent the last months trying to ruin my life. His smirk was any indication of that.“Elena Voss,” he said smoothly. “Didn’t expect to find you alone down here. Where’s your guard dog?”I lifted my chin, fixing him an icy glare. “What do you want, Lucas? I’m really not in the mood for your villain monologue right now.”He chuckled and dropped into the chair across from me without being invited. “A
