All Chapters of The Goalie's Tutor: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Aria's POVGreat. Liam was officially a desperate fugitive, and I was his prime target for leverage. Could my life get any worse?The silence in the hallway was intense, broken only by the frantic beating of my own heart."He's not coming back," I whispered, trying to convince myself as much as Jason. "He'd be stupid to come for me." "I think he is," Jason insisted, his hand immediately squeezing mine. "I think that Liam is desperate, Aria. We need to leave now. We can't be standing around waiting for the first period bell to end.""Wait, we can't leave. We need to rip down every single one of those flyers before people start taking pictures." Lily said, already tearing them.Just as Jason started to turn toward the nearest exit, a voice, dripping with falseness, cut through."Well, well. Look what the cat dragged back in. I've heard about you, Captain."We all turned. Celeste... the new girl Lily had labelled obnoxious... was sauntering toward us, completely unfazed by the drama we

Aria's POVThe high school gymnasium was unrecognisable. The terrible lights were dimmed, replaced by strobing coloured spotlights and twinkling fairy lights strung over draping fabric that made the ceiling look lower and far more glamorous.A DJ was blasting music loud enough to vibrate the floorboards.Lily and I arrived with Aiden... Emily had dropped us off, reminding us all that Jason was under strict instructions to stay in the most crowded area of the room and not leave with me. Jason was already waiting for us near the entrance, looking devastatingly handsome in a dark suit that made his eyes look even better.The moment he saw me, his jaw actually dropped. The silver fabric that clung to me like a second skin caught the light with every tiny movement, and the open back felt surprisingly daring."Wow," Jason breathed, forgetting his carefully rehearsed casual entrance. He walked straight up to me, ignoring our friends. "Sunshine, you look... incredible. Seriously. You just br

Aria's POVHer words haunted the fuck out of me.One night. She wanted one night with Jason as payment for saving his whole family. It was sick. It was insane. It was utterly foolish. It didn't make any sense.I scanned the dance floor for Jason, desperately needing the grounding presence of his arm around me. The music suddenly cut out, replaced by a loud, celebratory fanfare that echoed the kind of sound they use for sporting events."Attention, students." The DJ's voice boomed over the speakers. "The moment you've all been waiting for! The results of the Homecoming Court Vote are in."Every head turned toward the makeshift stage draped with cheap velvet. The spotlights snapped on, illuminating my father and a few teachers.My stomach dropped. Homecoming King and Queen. Of course. This school wouldn't miss a chance for this.I finally spotted Jason. He was already standing near the stage with Aiden and Lily, looking totally confused. Lily was waving her arms, trying to catch my eye

Aria's POVI swallowed hard, trying to slow my racing heart. I could tell my brain was desperately trying to calculate how much of the closet conversation I might have slurred out last night.One night. Did he know about the 'one night' demand?I had to lie. I couldn't just tell him that right now. He'd lose it. Maybe he'd confront Celeste and make things worse."W... what about Celeste?" I repeated, trying to sound genuinely confused, wobbling slightly on my feet. I forced a small, weak laugh. "Did I... did I say I saw her? Because I don't remember seeing her after the whole... mess."Jason's gaze was piercing, making my stomach clench hard. He didn't look like he believed me for a second."You said it right as I was putting you in the car," he pressed, taking a slow step toward me. "You were rambling about how she was a witch but had money and would help."I winced inwardly. Okay, so I hadn't said the worst of it, but clearly, her name was linked to my panic. I had to say something

Aria's POVI ran. I couldn't bare to see what I'd seen. I knew Grant was the same man who'd arranged my kidnap, but still... he was my boyfriend's father. It was horrifying to see him collapsed and weeping on the stairs. It was the last push I needed. To do the right thing. I didn't stop running until I was out the front door, pulling it shut with a quiet sound. I leaned against a stone pillar, clutching the hem of my dress. It wasn't just about saving the companies anymore. It was about not letting Emily sell what I presumed was her family heirlooms. And it was about giving Jason a clean slate. More like giving him a chance to forgive his father. If his father's company fell, then I didn't think they'd ever make up.'She can fix it, Jase. She can make the bad things go away.' my drunken words echoed in my head, but now they didn't sound foolish... they sounded like the truth.I pulled out my phone, staring at it for a little too while. I didn't have anyway to contact Celeste. I d
