End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me! Caden! You didn’t wear a condom?!”After one heated round with her boyfriend, Caden, in the prop room behind the theater, Alora was shocked to discover he hadn’t used any protection.“Oh my God,” she gasped, “When did you take it off? The campus health center is already closed. Fuck! I’m screwed! Why did you finish in me?!”Alora immediately grabbed her sweatshirt from the floor, eager to get out. She had to get emergency contraception from a 24-hour store.“Babe, relax.” Caden stood up and pulled her close to his rock-hard abs, speaking casually. “What’s the big deal? If you get pregnant, we’ll handle it ourselves.”Alora’s body trembled again as his lips moved to her neck, his breath hot against her skin.“Baby,” he whispered hoarsely, voice thick with desire, “you’re so fucking sexy. Don’t tell me you didn’t prefer it raw? I can’t help myself…”His large hand slid down her waist, reaching toward her core, and Alora’s legs weakened again.“No, C

Brielle’s face drained of color. Before she could answer:CRASH!Caden shot to his feet, tipping the coffee table with a violent shove.Beer bottles flew, glass shattering across the hardwood floor.The entire room froze. No one moved, all eyes locked on Caden’s thunderous expression, the muscles in his arms and chest flexing beneath his fitted shirt as his breath came hard and fast.“You ask a girl shit like that, and you think that’s fucking okay?” he snarled, voice a deep, guttural roar.Bryce sobered up instantly, face pale as he stared down at the mess.Brielle stood abruptly, her voice unsteady. “I’m not feeling well. I should go.”Without another word, she turned and hurried toward the door.Caden kicked a piece of broken glass across the room, his jaw clenched tight. “I need a smoke,” he growled, storming out after her, broad shoulders tense and fists curled at his sides.As soon as he left, the tension broke.“Holy shit. That escalated fast.” Derek let out a breath.“Dude was

Alora was shocked to hear that and she couldn’t bring herself to make that call.But then, she didn’t want to have anything to do with Caden anymore.So what was her business if he was fighting?“It has nothing…”Before she could complete that, Fiona interrupted her.“I heard Caden traced the source of those pictures of you and discovered that they were released by Jacob. He got into a fight because of you.”That got Alora so confused.She then headed towards the location of the fight.Why was he fighting because of her?Was this another plan of his to get her under his control?Did he truly know nothing about how the pictures that has been released?What exactly was he playing at?This behavior of Caden got Alora so confused.There was a crowd gathered outside the building. When they saw Alora approaching, the murmuring grew louder.They parted to let her through. She could feel the stares, the side-talks.Oh, she should have known that things were never going to end well with Caden.

Caden was clearly shocked by that news and his momentary distraction gave Alora the time to pull away from him.As she made to open the door and get out of the car, he grabbed hold of her hand.“Rara.”He called.“Alora.”She corrected, firmly.“I thought you liked me calling you that.”When he started chasing after her, he called her Rara.Everyone called her Alora.But overtime, she grown to loved hearing him call her that.Like a person nickname that only the boy she loved calls her.But now, after seeing that the feelings were one-sided.She was the only one who loved him while he was manipulating and playing with her heart.She hated that name.She hated his presence.She wanted to hate him too.She didn’t want to have anything to do with him.“Don’t call me that anymore.”He pulled her back to face him.“Are you breaking up with me? Did anyone tell you anything?”Alora looked up at him.”Is anyone supposed to tell me anything?”“Then why are you transferring schools?”“Did I tell y

Caden’s words still weren’t enough to convince his friends.Mason eyed him.“If this was really for Brielle. You wouldn’t have beaten up Jacob like that. He’s literally still at the hospital fighting for his life! I heard his parents are having second thoughts about settling things, privately.”The truth was, Caden didn’t want those photoshopped pictures to be released either.Jacob kept saying he wanted to release them and Caden kept on telling him to wait for his permission.A permission he never intended to give but Jacob went ahead to release it.Seeing those pictures, even if they weren’t real, it had snapped something in Caden, something so raw and primal unlike anything he’d ever felt before.And that was why he gave Jacob the beating of his life.“Enough!”Caden let out to the boys, unable to take any more.His heart hammered against his ribs and his thoughts were a chaotic mess.He couldn’t deal with their interrogations anymore. He was finding it hard to understand his own fe
