FAKE DATING THE BAD BOY FOR REVENGE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

LUCIEN'S POINT OF VIEW.The rink was empty except after a rigorous practice with the team. Except for the hum of the cooling system and the faint echo of my skates against the boards, practice ended twenty minutes ago.The second Coach blew the whistle, signalling the end of a hard afternoon in the freezing rink, most of the guys bolted for showers without wasting a second, and some escaped for their weekend plans. I stayed behind, working the puck until my shoulders burned and my hands ached. Pain focuses me. Keeps the world from getting too loud.The words my father droned in my mind about perfection echoed in my mind as I dropped by a few points from last practice. Staying back to earn my strike back would be punishment enough for me.I peeled off my gloves, flexed my fingers as I skated toward the bench. The cold air bit my face with a force and a bite sharper than the edge of my blades.The first sign of trouble I encountered was the click of heels against the marble floors. It

LUCIEN'S POINT OF VIEW.The glow of my phone screen is the only light in my car. I sit parked in front of Sloane's house with a smirk on my face as I scroll through her Instagram page. Her little profile picture stares back at me. It's a picture of her face; she smiles at the camera with that smug, bookish grin like she doesn’t know how much it ruins me every time I see her cherry red lips around me. It's been 731 days, 17,544 hours, 1,052,640 minutes, 63,158,400 seconds. Since I've forced the urge to kiss her the way I want to. Since I've restrained my need to claim her and finally make her mine for realThat fucker named Matt might deserve a thank you, since his screw up gave me an opening to take her for myself.Not that I'd needed one earlier, this just speeds up the process for me. But one truth is inevitable;She's mine.I lean back in the driver’s seat with the engine off while I'm parked in the shadow of the maple tree across from her house. It’s quiet here. Her suburban neig

LUCIEN'S POINT OF VIEW.They all walked out of the hall briskly, their shoes and heels clinking against the marble floors of the hall, as they rushed out of the hall. The parents, the board members, the shareholders, every important adult in the damn building walked out at the chaos that had ensued.Except for Roxanne's mother and Mat's father, who stood awaiting their judgment.Her mother, Stacy, looked around in shame as she clutched her pearls tightly. She knew the gossip making the rounds right now would be about how she and her daughter stole thousands of dollars from the school.Roxanne thought no one knew, but I knew all too well about how her father was the one who had all the money, but she and her mother were left with scraps because of their lavish spending habits.Her clinching up to me last year was on mommy's orders, because she thought Eldric would give her to me in marriage if she ended up pregnant for me.But as usual, I was one step ahead of them all, and my father a

LUCIEN'S POINT OF VIEW.I pull up to the front of her house a few minutes into the night. Grabbing my phone, I shoot her a text.ME: Come outside.Three dots appear instantly.SUNSHINE: What do you mean?I could imagine her scrunching up her little button nose in confusion as she typed away at her phone.ME: We're going to the spot, remember?SUNSHINE: I thought that was tomorrow.It was, but like the selfish bastard I am, I wanted her to myself before the guys got there.ME: That's for the guys; you and I should go there earlier. I have something to show you.She doesn't reply, but her curtains shift as she raises two outfits for me to choose from. They both look horrible, so I shake my head negatively before walking to her door and ringing the bell.The sound of her running down the steps draws a smile from my lips. She opens the door and quickly pulls me in like I'm a secret she doesn't want anyone to see."Hurry!" She whispers. "Let's go up." She said, unaware of the tension in my

SLOANE'S POINT OF VIEW.The only sound in the room below the hatch is that of a deafening silence, as Lucien and I sit facing each other. His last words echo in my head, as the meaning of them bites back at me with a cruel smile. I've heard rumours about how he is in bed. Every girl who had the honour of spending the night with him raved on and on about him, how big he is, and how dominant he is. I remembered the days and weeks of having to listen in on their droning about how much of a sex god he is in bed. All my life, I'd kept myself for Matt, and now that he's out of the picture, all I wanted to do was to keep myself for the right person, someone I would love, and would love me back. As much as the thought of exploring with Lucien gnawed at me, the times we'd spent together and the way he acted in our fake relationship convinced me of how passionate he could be, and we hadn't even gone past kissing and half-holding.But at the same time, the thought of Matt leaving me for Roxann
