Chapter 81~ Maddox.

I closed the distance between us, keeping my gaze locked onto Jason's.Sinking onto my knees in front of the couch, I reached out and gently lifted his injured leg onto my lap. Staring at the white bandage, guilt gnawed at my stomach—I hadn't even remembered to check on his ankle this morning because of the media firestorm I had woken up to.“You’re healing well...” I whispered, running my fingers over his calf. “Your medication should be almost finished. Are you checking in with the doctor later?”I raised my head to meet his hazel eyes, which were staring back at me with a mixture of shock and sheer disbelief. He looked at me as if my casual questions were completely insane given the nuclear bomb that had just dropped on our lives, especially with the expectation radiating from his entire posture.“Maddox,” he called out, his voice low but steady. “This isn't about my leg. That news... our parents...” He paused, embarrassment mixed with bitter disappointment flushing across his fac

“We just have to put up with this week. Next week is the break, and when we resume for final exams, everyone will have already forgotten about it,” I said, clasping my hands around Jason’s cheeks as assurance spread across my face.“Yeah...” he muttered dryly, staring back at me.For the hundredth time today, I really didn't want to see him step out of this car. The doors were still locked, and I found myself hesitating.Saying I was worried about him would only make Jason accuse me of not trusting him to handle whatever bullshit awaited him on campus today.Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his lap. I raised an eyebrow as I watched him glance at the caller ID and immediately tap the red decline icon.He caught me watching, shrugging slightly as he answered before I could even ask. “It’s my dad.”I let out a slow breath. “Yeah... we really shouldn't be getting in touch with any of them right now.”Especially since I didn't want him knowing that his own father was slowly becoming a prima

Chapter 83~ Jason.

“Him?” a guy at a nearby table sneered, pointing directly at me as I walked into the crowded campus cafeteria.I spotted Tina and Norman waving frantically at me from a booth across the room. Forcing a tight, neutral smile onto my face, I hurried over to them, acutely aware that almost every set of eyes in the hall was locked on me, whispering and pointing behind their hands.“You actually came...” Tina breathed out in relief as I reached the table.“Why wouldn't he?” Norman chimed in, leaning back in his seat. “It’s not like he did something others haven't done before.”“And, exams are fast approaching,” I responded, setting my tray down and taking a seat. “I can’t afford to start missing classes now.”“Exactly. You shouldn't bother yourself with what these bored people are saying,” Tina said, shooting a sharp glare at a group of girls staring from two tables over. “I don't know why everyone can't just mind their own damn business.”“Well, to be completely honest,” Norman said, throw

“I’ll be having some extra athletic conditioning starting tomorrow, and it’s going to start taking up most of my time,” Maddox said, leaning over to grab the serving dish. At the same time, I carried the drinks, following him into the dining room.“You’re already preparing for the NHL scouts this early?” I asked, keeping my tone light.“Well, Coach wants everything to move quickly. And because of the scandal...” He paused, placing the platter on the table. “We just want something to pull everyone’s attention away from the rumors. Besides, thankfully, a lot of the campus fans are really rallying behind me.” A small, relieved smile played on his lips.“Hmm... that’s good,” I replied, averting my gaze as I poured juice into our glasses. “I’m glad everything is working out so well for you.”“Uh... what about you?” Maddox asked, pulling out a chair. “Was today normal, or... did anyone give you a hard time? I can handle them if they do. You’re connected to the hockey team, and even if half

I couldn't even absorb the rest of my father's furious words. He pulled away from the curb and drove down the road, having promised to stay in town until he confronted Maddox face-to-face, after I lied and told him Maddox wasn't home to send him away.But what if he was wrong?Still, he wouldn’t come all the way if it was false, at the same time… No.God... My dad had to be wrong, I clung to that fragile hope with everything I had left, dragging my feet back inside the quiet apartment.Maddox immediately rose from the couch, his phone in hand, his dark brows raised inquisitively. “That took a while. Who was at the door? I wanted to come check…”“It’s... Norman,” I lied, my voice flat. “He left a while ago. I just... stayed out for some fresh air.”Maddox shook his head slightly, pointing toward the dining room. “I covered your plate. You still haven't eaten a single bite.”“I’m fine,” I forced out, blinking rapidly to keep the hot, stinging tears from gathering under my eyelids.For

I barged into the athletic office without knocking.Coach raised his head in shock as I strode in, my footsteps echoing across the room before I came to a stop right in front of his desk.“What are you doing, Maddox? You can see I’m in a meeting,” Coach said, gesturing vaguely to the few unfamiliar faces seated around him.“I need to speak to you right now,” I demanded, my voice icy and unyielding.Coach held my stare for a long, tense second before letting out an exhausted sigh. He turned to the other staff members, asking them to give us the room for a few minutes.The moment the door clicked shut, I stepped right up to his desk.“What the hell was that text I just received, Coach? I thought I explicitly told you last night that I wasn't ready to release any official statement! Why are you texting me saying it’s going public this morning?” I snapped, my voice rising until I was nearly screaming in his face.I hadn't slept a single minute last night. I had tossed and turned until daw

I pulled another shirt off the hanger, my hands trembling so violently I could barely fold the fabric. I tossed it blindly into the open suitcase on the bed.Before I could reach for the next hanger, the bedroom door was shoved open, banging hard against the wall.I whipped my head around, seeing Maddox standing in the doorway, breathing heavily, his chest heaving up and down.Sweat glistened on his forehead, his dark hair a frantic mess, his eyes wide with a manic, terrified urgency.He froze the second his eyes landed on my half-packed suitcase. A strange, shattered expression flickered across his face—like my name was too heavy, too painful for him even to call.“Jason...”Maddox stepped forward, closing the distance between us in two strides.Before I could pull away, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me flush against his chest in a desperate, suffocating grip. He buried his face into the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply, his fingers digging tight into the fabric of my shirt

The taxi pulled up to the front of the apartment building, idling at the curb.I dragged my suitcase down the steps, with Maddox trailing silently right behind me like a ghost.I stopped near the open rear door and turned to face him. When my eyes met his, my heart squeezed so tight, I could feel it threaten to break completely.“I’m going now...” I told him, forcing the words past the lump in my throat. “Take care of yourself.”“Can I... can I call you?” Maddox asked, his voice trembling with a desperation I had never heard from him before.I shook my head slowly. “I’m fine, Maddox. I just... I really need to spend the rest of this break alone.”I turned away before he could see the tears welling in my eyes. The driver shut the trunk with a loud thud and climbed into the driver's seat.I slid into the back, shutting the door between us. As the car pulled away from the curb, I looked into the side mirror.Maddox stood there on the sidewalk, his eyes puffy, his posture completely shatt

“Are you okay?” Finn asked, stopping by my side and placing the glass of juice on the table.I forced a faint smile. “Yeah... thanks.”My head was still lowered, my chest tight.Just a few minutes ago, Wendy and her crew had been backing me into a corner, ready to humiliate me. Thanks to Finn's sudden appearance, they had scattered—though not before promising to find me later to finish what they started.“I’m sorry that happened to you,” Finn said softly, pulling out a chair across from me and sitting down.“It’s fine... and thank you for stepping in,” I muttered, finally raising my eyes to meet his dark, watchful gaze.Sitting across from him felt surreal—almost forbidden. My college’s hockey team had literally lost the championship heat last year because of his school, mostly thanks to him.“Looks like you know who I am,” Finn said smoothly, a confident smirk playing on his lips as I stared at him a second too long.“Who doesn't know you, Finn?” I asked, trying to hide the embarrass

Chapter 90~ Maddox.

The arena lounge outside was echoing with deafening cheers and loud chatter.It was mid-season break, which meant showcase games, scout meetings, and high-stakes draft evaluations.“Hey...” Michael called out as I looked up from my locker. He was already fully dressed in his gear, helmet resting under his arm. “Aren't you coming out to the ice? You know the NHL draft reps and scout agencies are all sitting in the VIP box today, yeah? You don't want them picking only Finn Gunnar. Heard that arrogant bastard is in town representing Crestview.”“They can pick whoever the hell they want,” I gritted out dryly, staring blankly down at my skates.“You don't mean that.” Michael gave me a weird, searching look as he walked over to his own locker. “Look, man... whether whatever happened with your stepbrother is true or not, you didn't just grind through four years of hell on the ice just to watch another team—the same team we all fucking hate, take the spotlight, right?”A slight smirk played o
