Lahat ng Kabanata ng His to Ruin: Breaking Chelsea : Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

ARMOR{Playlist Suggestion: "Style" by Taylor Swift / "Mount Everest" by Labrinth}~KADE POV~I was sweating through my dark hoodie because navigating a high-end women's designer boutique on aluminum crutches is basically an Olympic sport. Especially when the floors are made of some slippery imported marble that makes you feel like you're going to snap your other knee just trying to walk past a rack of silk gowns without knocking everything over.Denver was walking beside me with his hands shoved deep in his pockets, looking around the aggressively white and gold store like he was expecting security to tackle us at any second."You know you look like a creepy sugar daddy right now, right?" Denver muttered, stepping over a velvet stool that was placed in the middle of the floor for absolutely no reason. "Two teenage guys in a place where a single shoe costs more than my car, and you're aggressively glaring at dresses while limping. It's not a good look, man.""Shut up and help me loo

THE WOLF DEN{Playlist Suggestion: "Blood in the Water" by grandson / "The Hills" by The Weeknd}~KOLT POV~The smoke twisted around my fingers in the dark, wet air of the warehouse, smelling like expensive tobacco and blood because the guy tied to the metal chair in front of me was currently bleeding from about four different places on his face.I took a slow drag from my cigarette, my eyes fixed on Samuel, who was beaten to an absolute crisp, groaning and spitting blood onto the concrete floor of one of my empty storage properties on the edge of the city."I told you," I said, my voice dangerously quiet as I breathed out the smoke into the freezing air. "I broke your wrist and I told you exactly what would happen if you ever showed your face at her place again, and yet you still went back."Samuel whined, trying to pull against the zip ties cutting into his wrists. "I didn't... she gave it to me...""Don't insult me," I snapped, stepping forward and grabbing him by the dirty collar

THE COMEBACK{Playlist Suggestion: "Natural" by Imagine Dragons / "Whatever It Takes" by Imagine Dragons}~KADE POV~"If you don't smile, turn around, and walk with me right now," my father whispered, his breath hot and venomous against my ear, "I will personally ensure that your little stray never finds a single job in this city again, and I will have her brother's health insurance canceled before the night is even over."I froze, the blood draining completely out of my face, my fingers gripping the handles of my crutches so tight my knuckles popped."Don't you dare test me, Kade," My Dad continued, his voice so dangerously quiet that nobody else in the crowded ballroom could hear him over the string quartet playing in the background. "You have already embarrassed me enough by parading her in here like some kind of sick rebellion, so you are going to come with me and shake hands with the board, or I will ruin her beyond repair."He pulled back, his face a perfect disguise of wealthy

THE COLD LIGHT{Playlist Suggestion: "Traitor" by Olivia Rodrigo / "Illicit Affairs" by Taylor Swift}~CHELSEA POV~"What the hell do you think you are doing, Chelsea?"I just stared at him, my back pressed so hard against the freezing brick wall that I could feel the rough edges through the thin silk of my dress. My chest thrusting up and down as I tried to catch my breath because the spot on my neck where his mouth had just been was literally burning."What am I doing?" I fired back, my voice shaking so badly but I couldn't stop myself. "You are the one who just pinned me against a wall in a dark alley, Kolt, you are the one who kissed my neck, so don't put this on me!"Kolt ran a hand over his face, looking incredibly frustrated and angry, but the anger wasn't really aimed at me, it looked like he was furious with himself."You didn't push me away, Chelsea," he said, his voice dropping into that dangerous, low gravel that made my knees feel weak. "You stood there and you leaned

THE OBVIOUS CHOICE{Playlist Suggestion: "Line Without a Hook" by Ricky Montgomery / "Electric Love" by BØRNS}~MIA POV~I was standing on the sidelines of the turf field holding a clipboard full of list sheets that I wasn't actually reading, because my entire focus was on watching the soccer practice completely fall apart in real time.Without Kade out there running the midfield, the team was basically scrambling around like a bunch of headless chickens, and Coach Marshall was blowing his whistle so hard his face was turning a terrifying shade of purple. Kade was standing just a few feet away from me, leaning heavily on his aluminum crutches with his jaw clenched so tight I thought his teeth might break, looking absolutely miserable as he watched his entire life go on without him.Out on the field, Denver was wearing the bright yellow captain's armband, completely drenched in sweat and literally screaming his lungs out trying to get Lucas and the defense to hold a simple formation,
