Chapter 011 Heartache

ELIANA TWO DAYS LATER The loud siren sound of the alarm cuts through the quiet air, waking me up to the harsh reality that I have been trying to escape. I reach for the clock on the bed side table and turn it off then flip to my back, staring at the ceiling blankly. It has already been two days since Ethan's betrayal. I haven't been able to get enough sleep for the past two days because what happened has been keeping me up, the scene at the locker room haunting me like a nightmare whenever I close my eyes. Neither have I been able to eat properly. I thought that maybe, just maybe, the pain would go away during the two day weekend. However, I still feel the dull ache at the depths of my heart, the persistence throbbing, hard to ignore. I place my hand over my chest and stroke it gently, hoping it’ll help lessen the pain but…it doesn't help that much. I clench my hand into a fist on the thin fabric until my knuckles start burning. My mother, uncle James and Robert have bee

Chapter 012 Lies

ELIANA I turn off the tap then slowly raise my head to look in the mirror and we lock eyes, the redhead, Tess. “Can we have a talk?” She asks. “What do you want to talk about? About how you stole her boyfriends?” Zoe responds way faster before I do and I can feel the anger in her voice. “I come in peace. I’m not here to cause any problem.” Tess defends, “How kind of you? You already did, bitch.” Zoe fires back, not buying her words. Neither do I. I still remember the smile on her face when they pulled off from the kiss and my heart squeezes inside my chest, suddenly suffocating in the bathrooms. “Come on Eli, don't listen to her. It doesn't matter whatever she says. She's a boyfriend snatcher and nothing more!” Zoe says, tugging my hand. All eyes inside the bathroom turn to us as they wait for the drama. I take a deep breath, managing a smile. I have never been the kind who love drama, let alone getting involved. I pull back my hand from Zoe's tight grip and she turns

Chapter 013 Protective Stepbrother

ELIANA My jaw clenches, not expecting to bump into him after having a heated confrontation with Tess. I pretend I haven't heard him call me by my name and continue walking. He calls again but I ignore him, again and again. He steps before me, blocking my way and I have no choice but to stop. “I’m sorry, Eliana. I tried to call you a few times to apologise but you didn't answer any of my phones. I sent a couple of texts to apologise but you didn't respond to any. And I have been wanting to apologise physically but you have been avoiding me throughout the day.” “I’m sorry about…Friday. It's not what you thought Eli, please believe me. I don't know how it happened. Tess is the one who kissed me I swear. There's nothing going on between the two of us. She's just my childhood friend and I have been helping her to get around since she's new.” Ethan explains, looking at me with sympathetic eyes, silently begging me to understand him. I’m quiet for a moment, looking into those brown ey

Chapter 014 Trouble

ELIANA It feels like time has stopped for a split second, silence falling over the hallway and the tension thick in the air. “Get out of my way!” I hear Ethan's cold voice, however, I’m unable to see him since Jackson is slightly taller than him. “She doesn't want anything to do with you. If I were you, I would back off.” Jackson responds calmly. He turns his head briefly to look at me and for a fleeting second, I see a flash of something cross his eyes. However, it disappears before I can make out what it is. For the first time ever, I nod to his words in agreement because I want Ethan to stay the hell away from me. “And who are you to tell me what to do with my girlfriend?” Ethan responds, pushing Jackson forcefully. “I’m her brother!” I take a sharp breath when I hear Jax’s words, his voice bold and almost possessive, claiming his rightful place and loud enough for Ethan and everyone to hear. “You're in no position to tell me what to do, man. You couldn't even lead you

Chapter 015 Punishment

ELIANA It's quiet inside the principal’s office, the tension in the air so thick that I can breathe it. The inquiry is over and now it's time to find out about the disciplinary decision.I take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. “We have listened to both sides of the story which caused the conflict and as the disciplinary department, we have discussed and come to an arrangement.” I inhale sharply, not sure what kind of punishment it's going to be. “Jackson Harrison and Ethan Harrison are going to have an In-school suspension and they're not allowed to do sports for one week because this isn't the first time the two have been involved in a fight.The last time it happened, they were given a one week detention. We talked to them and agreed that if they repeat the same mistake, the punishment will be severe.” I remember clearly when the last fight between the two happened. It was in the rink during the last match between Python and Hawkers for championship qualification’

Chapter 016 The deal

ELIANA Jackson is hesitant to respond to my suggestion. However, I don't wait for his response as I walk into his big spacious room. The room is clean, grey painting on the wall and it smells more like him, his strong cologne that is almost suffocating. I ignore everything and walk to him before the mirror. “Hand me the towel,” I say in a soft voice. I don't want to come across as rude since it's my fault he has a busted lip. I reach for the wet face towel but he pulls back his hand, “I can manage,” He says, being stubborn. “Can you just stop being stubborn for a moment and let me help you? Of course I know you can do it. I’m only helping because you got it because of me.” I scold and he raises an eyebrow at me. I reach for the towel again but he doesn't pull away his hand this time. He lets go easily, without that much struggle. He watches quietly as I fold the towel. I raise my hand to reach for his lip and that's when I realise how tall he’s. I will have to tiptoe. “Do

Chapter 017 The deal 2

JACKSON " While your weak side is left, his weak side is right.” Her words are still loud in my head. I stare at the door for a while even though she has walked out of my room, the faint smell of her perfume still lingering in the air. I wasn't expecting her to give me such important information. Not that easily. I know fucking well that it's a trap. She's giving me a piece of information that I have been trying to find for months. Or rather, two years since I became the captain of Hawkers. The winning team gets the opportunity to represent Hillcrest Academy in the hockey championship and the players of the losing team act as substitutes in case of injuries or inconvenience. " Damn it!” I curse through gritted teeth, the thirst to find more about the opponent's weaknesses growing inside me. Too strong, hard to suppress and I hate every bit of it. I hate that I want to go and ask her more. It seems like she knows me too well. Or maybe she played a gamble and I hate that

Chapter 018

ELIANA THREE DAYS LATER It's quiet inside the kitchen as everyone is focused on his/her plate. I scoop a spoonful of the scrambled egg and sip on my coffee. From across the island table, I can feel his eyes lingering on me. Slowly, I raise my head from the plate to look in his direction and we lock eyes. He's casually leaning on the kitchen counter, holding a a mug of steaming coffee in his hands while he sips on it, taking his sweet time. His lower lip looks much better and the crack isn't that visible. I want him to say something. Just anything. However, he doesn't say even a single word. His sharp blue eyes don't give away anything and it's hard to tell what 's going on in his mind. It has already been three damn days since I shared my idea with him. However, he hasn't said anything. He hasn't responded to me, to tell me if he's in or not. He's pretending as if we didn't talk about anything. He's acting cool, as if he isn't holding anything towards Ethan. However, whenev

Chapter 019

JACKSON It has already been three damn days without skating on the ice. Even though I don't want to admit it out loud, it feels like forever. I have been dry practising every single day after school back at home using the tiny information that Eliana gave me. I have been trying my best to perfect my left side and strengthen the right side so that it would be easy to kick Ethan's ass the next time we meet in the rink.I look across the big hall and spot him. It's all his fault that all this is happening. It's his damn fault that I have missed the feeling of being on ice for fucking three days. As though he senses my eyes on him, he turns to look at me and I don't miss the little curl at the corner of his lips. My jaw clenches and I’m tempted to walk to him and punch the stupid smirk away from his face but…I take a deep breath to calm my nerves. I know damn well that he's doing all that to get a reaction from me.The supervising teacher clears his throat intentionally and I turn my att

Chapter 020 She's destruction

JACKSON “This is the last chance, Jackson. No next time. Your career depends on it and so is mine. If you want to stand a chance to be recognised at the championship, you’ll have to win the two remaining games. Or else…you’ll become a substitute and we all know that isn't good.” The coach’s words replayed in my head over and over again like annoying music put on repeat, loud, hard to ignore.“ Fuck you Ethan!” I curse through gritted teeth, my grip tightening on the steering wheel as my car pulls through the gates and I drive straight ahead to the parking lot.A low growl escapes my lips, the desire to let out all the frustration that has been building up within me throughout the drive so strong. Turning off the engine, I punch the centre of the steering wheel so hard that my car honks. However, that doesn't make me feel any better. I unbuckle the seatbelts and head straight to the mansion, my hands fisted to my sides.I open the door and she's t
