บททั้งหมดของ Ruined by the Hockey Captain: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

~RHEA~ I walked away before Zander could say anything, and I mentally cursed myself for my reaction.Why had I reacted that way? It was none of my business who he fucked.“Rhea, wait up” Zander called out from behind me and I let out a sigh.“Please just leave me alone” I muttered And was about to hail down a taxi when he grabbed my wrist and spun me around.My breath hitched when I saw that he was still very much shirtless.“You could have at least had the decency to throw on some clothes before running after me” I muttered as I glanced around and noticed we were getting odd stares.“Well your reaction confused me so I had to come clarify what the issue was” He responded and I scoffed.“There's no issue. You found another woman to be your fake girlfriend so I was taking my leave. Congratulations” I muttered and tried pulling my wrist away but he just tightened his hold.I looked up and he had an amused glint in his eyes.“Is that jealousy I sense, Lady bug?” He asked and my heart

~ZANDER~ I stared down at my body, and I was covered in blood.My body shook as I used my hand to wipe the blood off in an attempt to get it off me, but I was just making it worse.“You are responsible for her death!” I turned to the voice and saw my Dad rushing towards me with anger written all over his face.Before I could move, he grabbed my neck and slammed me against the wall. I literally heard my bones crack.“I didn't…” I began, but the words wouldn't come out.“You killed her!” He yelled in my face, and instantly, I jolted awake.My heart was racing as I stared up at the ceiling, drenched in my sweat.Another fucking nightmare.I slowly sat up while massaging my chest. I guess I wasn't getting any sleep tonight.I let out a sigh as I threw the blanket off me and got out of bed.I walked into the bathroom and splashed some water on my face to help clear the aching headache that was brewing before staring at myself in the mirror.I saw blood on my cheeks for a second but it d

~RHEA~I was lost in my thoughts, staring into space when I felt a light tap on my back.I let out a light gasp before turning to Zander, who stood beside me with a confused look on his face.“You alright?” He asked, and I flashed him a small smile before glancing around.“Where did Mason and Kai go?” I asked, and he raised an eyebrow.“They left several minutes ago. Are you sure you are okay?” He asked, and I turned back to him.“What? Do you suddenly care about me now?” I joked.He let out a scoff.“No but I need to know if you're having a psychosis episode so I can check into a mental hospital” He retorted.“You want to get rid of me that quickly, huh?” “Is it that obvious?” He asked, and I rolled my eyes.“Well you're stuck with me for now, so let's talk about this whole face dating thing again so I can be really clear on what it is” I told him, and he sighed.“Just pretend like I'm Chase. You can do that, right?” He asked before grabbing his keys.I frowned at him.“Wait, you ca

~RHEA~ I had spotted Chase from afar. Our eyes had met a minute after he arrived and I knew he had been watching me, I knew he was approaching him and I wanted him to.So I danced, I swayed my hips seductively in an attempt to catch his attention. The alcohol running through my system made everything better.I felt free, I felt happy. No one had stopped me to ask me about the scandal or my sister.No one seemed to care about me at that moment and I loved it.He got a little bit closer and my eyes met his again. He reached out to grab my arm when an arm suddenly wrapped around my waist.I gasped softly as my back pressed against a hard toned chest behind me. He didn't even need to speak, I could already tell who it was.“Zander”“You look beautiful in this dress, Rhea” He murmured against my ear and the tone of his voice ran a chill down my spine but my eyes were on Chase.He looked… jealous.He glanced between us before stepping closer. Heather immediately jumped in front of me.“W

~RHEA~ I couldn't stop thinking about Zander's words, and I felt like the biggest hypocrite in the entire universe.But his case was different. There was evidence. He himself never came out to deny any of the allegations, so why did I have to feel guilty about what I said?Zander came back in later to run the bath for me. He nor i said a word to each other, and after he had helped me get into the bathroom, he left and never came back that night.I let out a sigh as I stripped naked and got into the bath. Honestly, the ache I had been feeling down there had disappeared the moment Zander had gone, but the cold water still helped.I didn't remember how long I stayed in that bathtub or how I woke up fully clothed on my bed, but by the next morning, the guilt still hadn't gone away.As a matter of fact, my interaction with Zander had been all I could think about because his words really struck a cord. Even if I believed he wasn't a good person, maybe it wasn't right for me to put it t
