Chapter 60: My Boyfriend

LYRIC SPENCER POV

Just as Gavin’s hands slid beneath my dress, gripping the backs of my thighs, the shed door banged open.

"Lyric Spencer!"

Aunt Stephanie’s voice cut through the haze like a bucket of ice water.

I jolted, shoving at Gavin’s chest as we scrambled apart. He stumbled back, breathing hard, his hair thoroughly wrecked, his shirt stretched from my grip. My pulse hammered in my ears, my lips still tingling from his kisses.

Aunt Stephanie stood in the doorway, arms crossed, one brow raised. She wasn’t exactly angry—more amused, maybe exasperated.

Gavin cleared his throat, running a hand through his hair. "Uh—hey, Aunt Stephanie."

"Hey yourself," she drawled, eyes flicking between us. "Y'know, when I said to ‘love a little,’ I didn’t mean in broad daylight where the kids could walk in on you."

My face burned.

Gavin grinned, unrepentant. "To be fair, we were behind the shed."

Aunt Stephanie sighed like she wa

I feel like there should be more to this story. Does Lyric ever talk again?

    Chapter 61: Hopeless Plates scraped, glasses clinked, and conversation flowed easily—though Gavin, the menace that he was, kept his hand on mine beneath the table, his thumb brushing slow, lazy circles against my skin. It was distracting. I tried to focus on my food, but every tiny movement of his fingers sent little sparks up my arm, making it impossible to think about anything else. After dinner, Aunt Stephanie called Gavin and me over for the talk. This was going to get uncomfortable. "So, Gavin," Aunt Stephanie said, sipping her lemonade and fixing him with a scrutinizing gaze. "What exactly are your intentions with my niece?" I nearly choked on my saliva and glanced at him, my stomach clenching. Gavin, however, remained infuriatingly calm. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, then shot her a lopsided grin. "I intend to keep her happy with me. Because she makes me happy." I froze, my gaze locked onto his face, my heart stumbling over itself. Au

    Lyric Spencer POV Chapter 62: My fairy As Gavin’s taillights disappeared down the road, a strange unease settled in my chest. He hadn’t said where he was going. I turned back toward the house, wrapping my arms around myself. Aunt Stephanie stood by the door, cigarette between her fingers, watching me. “He’ll be back,” she said, exhaling a thin stream of smoke. “Let’s go in. We have a lot to do.” I gave her a weak nod, but the feeling didn’t go away. Inside, the house felt too quiet despite the distant sounds of the kids playing outside. I retrieved my phone from the couch and hesitated before texting Gavin. Me: Where are you going? The message stayed on ‘delivered’ for a while. No response. I frowned but tried not to think too much about it. Instead, I busied myself helping Aunt Stephanie organize the few bags we had brought. The house was old but well-kept, with framed pictures on the walls—some faded, some new. I paused in front of one near th

    Chapter 63: An easy prey Sleep never came. The moment my alarm rang, I forced myself out of bed, the weight of exhaustion dragging at my limbs. The memory of last night—the worry, the fear, the warmth of Gavin’s forehead against mine—clung to me like a second skin. But as I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake the heavy fog in my head, something felt… different. The sheets under my fingertips weren’t Gavin’s. The air smelled sterile, like the inside of a classroom. And then I heard it. Laughter. Whispering. I looked up. I wasn’t in Gavin’s house anymore. No—this was school. The hallways stretched endlessly, the lockers dull gray, buzzing fluorescent lights flickering overhead. My hands clutched my backpack straps as I walked, but every step felt heavy, like I was dragging myself through wet cement. More laughter. This time, I saw them. Students lined the halls, their faces twisted in amusement, eyes locking onto me like vultures. Some pointed.

    Chapter 64: I’m a new student here I watched as he rode off toward campus before turning in the opposite direction to walk. My pace quickened when I noticed the sky darkening. It was going to rain. Reaching into my backpack, I searched for my umbrella—only to realize I’d forgotten it. The first fat drops of rain hit my skin. Within seconds, the drizzle turned into a full downpour. I broke into a run, but I wasn’t fast—not like the other girls, the ones who seemed weightless as they sprinted ahead. Nearby, a guy crouched on the ground, frantically searching for something. "Where are they? Where are they?" he muttered under his breath. A strong gust of wind swept by, carrying a pink umbrella straight toward me. It landed at my feet. I picked it up and walked over, crouching beside him so the umbrella hovered over both of us. He looked up, his gaze meeting mine—and for a second, I forgot how to breathe. His eyes were the most beautiful shade of blu

    Chapter 65 GAVIN HAWKINS' POV Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Practice was horrible today. With a game scheduled for Saturday, we were close to doom. Frustration boiled inside me as I threw my hockey stick across the rink, watching it slide past the blue lines. My hands clenched into fists—I needed to hit something. "Gavin," Shawn called out, tapping me on the shoulder. I turned to him, shooting an irritated glare. "What?" He didn’t flinch. "Coach wants to talk." I let out a sharp grunt, running a hand through my damp hair. "Save your energy for the game, Hawkins," Shawn said with a smirk. "For now, just listen to Coach's whining." "It's not whining," I snapped, my jaw tightening. "We were awful today. Worst practice ever. We weren’t in sync, and I couldn’t stop a single puck." My breathing turned heavy as anger twisted inside me. Shawn patted my back. "Calm down. Coach will figure things out." --- Locker Room Coach’s voice was sharp as a

I shoved the script into Aaron’s chest and sprinted after her, pushing through the auditorium doors into the dimly lit hallway. “Lyric!” I called, my voice echoing against the lockers. She was already halfway down the hall, moving fast. She didn’t stop. Didn’t even look back. My heart pounded as I closed the distance between us, finally reaching her just as she pushed open the exit door leading outside. I grabbed her wrist, gently but firmly, forcing her to stop. She flinched and yanked her arm away, spinning to face me. Her eyes were brimming with hurt, her lips parted as if she wanted to say something—but of course, she couldn’t. Her fingers trembled as she pulled out her phone, typing furiously. A second later, the robotic voice from her text-to-speech app cut through the cool afternoon air. “Don’t touch me.” I swallowed hard. “Lyric, please. Let me expl

"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice gentle. I nodded solemnly, keeping my head down. "We should go back. The teacher is calling for everybody." I glanced at Gavin. He was staring at Viktor and me with an indecipherable expression. I quickly looked away, focusing on the path leading back to the auditorium. My relationship with Gavin was not something I wanted the world to know. I was a coward because of that. "Have you guys decided what role you're auditioning for?" Wren asked, glancing between Aaron and me. I kept my head lowered, even though I had washed my face to hide the evidence of my tears. "Mr. Bingley," Aaron replied, adjusting his posture. "And you?" "Elizabeth Bennet, good sir," she declared dramatically, curtsying. "And you, Lyric?"

    Chapter 68: Neither will you LYRIC SPENCER POV By the time Wren dropped me off at the old house, Gavin was already waiting, leaning against his car with his hands shoved into his pockets. The streetlights cast shadows across his face, highlighting the sharp angles of his jaw and the unreadable expression in his eyes. I approached cautiously, my fingers tightening around the straps of my bag. His gaze never wavered, following my every step like a predator watching its prey. "Get in," he said simply, opening the passenger door for me. I hesitated. I should say something—anything—to break the silence. But instead, I slid into the seat, and he shut the door behind me. The drive was quiet, the tension so thick it pressed against my skin. I could feel his frustration radiating off him, but I didn’t know what to do about it. When we pulled into his driveway, he killed the engine but didn’t move. His hands gripped the wheel tightly, knuckles white. "Who’s the

I stared at him blankly, barely registering his laughter. "She meant lactose intolerant," he added, letting out a deep chuckle. I didn’t laugh. I wasn’t in the mood for jokes. My mind was too preoccupied with my fight with Gavin yesterday. What did he mean by what he said? Shaking off my thoughts, I left the counter to prepare the order Viktor handed me. My body moved on autopilot, my mind still trapped in yesterday’s argument. Then suddenly—pain. Hot coffee spilled over my hand, scalding my skin. The cup hit the floor with a shatter, but I didn’t scream. I didn’t even flinch. I only stared at the mess, the burning sensation barely registering through the numbness inside me.

The crowd was still buzzing with energy after the win, but my focus was gone. I didn’t hear the cheers. I didn’t see the flashing lights. I couldn’t feel anything but the weight in my chest. He saw. I knew it the moment I looked up and saw Gavin’s face on the ice. The way his expression fell. The way his shoulders dropped like the air had been knocked out of him. He saw Viktor kiss me. And he thought I let it happen. I swallowed hard, trying not to cry, but the tears blurred everything—my screen, the rink, the people. I wanted to go to him, explain, scream if I had to, but I couldn't even speak. All I had was this goddamn phone, and I couldn’t get close enough in time. I tried to follow him after the ceremony, but the crowd was too thick, and he disappeared before I cou

Laughing. And Viktor… kissing her like he had the damn right. No. No. No. My throat tightened like it was closing up. My gloves suddenly felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. My chest ached, like someone had slammed a hockey stick straight into it. I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t do anything but stare. She didn’t push him away. She didn’t even look surprised. I wanted to believe it was a mistake. That Viktor forced it. That it was out of nowhere. That she didn’t mean to let it happen. But none of it mattered. Because it still happened.

He turned to Lyric, his expression softening. “Sorry to bother you. We’ll leave now.” Lyric offered him a tight, polite smile, though her mind was already spinning. She wondered how Gavin was doing. What kind of family emergency could make him leave his phone behind? And if his phone was really off... why did he reply to her text? Her eyes narrowed. Why was Gavin lying? A voice broke into her thoughts. “I saw Coach leaving. Is Gavin okay?” someone asked. Lyric nodded and signed, > “Okay. That’s great.” --- In the locker room, Gavin sat on the bench, already dre

    Chapter 84 Third Person POV Finally, it was Friday—the day of the long-awaited match. Foreigners and out-of-town visitors filled the town stadium, eager for the game to begin. The scent of grilled hot dogs and burgers filled the air as vendors lined up their stands, taking advantage of the large crowd. Inside the locker room, the coach gathered his players for a final pep talk. The team was fully dressed in their uniforms and hockey gear, ready to take on their opponents. However, as they huddled together, the coach quickly realized someone was missing. "Where is Gavin?" he asked, his voice laced with irritation. The players exchanged confused glances, searching each other’s faces for an answer. "Shawn, you're closest to him. Where is he?" the coach pressed, narrowing his eyes at the player. Shawn hesitated before answering, his voice uncertain. "I don't know, sir. He hasn’t been picking up my calls or responding to my messages." The coach’s express

    Chapter 83: Out of the game GAVIN HAWKINS POV The cold evening wind breezed past me, sending a shiver down my spine. I had driven over two towns to reach the Baby Dragon Casino, the location Allesio had assigned me to. The plan was simple: deliver over ten grams of methamphetamine. It was the most sought-after drug of the month, going for over a thousand dollars per 1.5 grams. I pulled over a few blocks from the casino, scanning the area for anything unexpected. By that, I meant the police. This place was notorious for drug dealing, thanks to its location by the famous casino. Politicians, celebrities, and the elite stopped here, not just for high-stakes games but also for a quick fix. Allesio was one of the biggest dealers in town. I was just the messenger. The deal was to dress decently—not enough to raise suspicion, but just enough to blend in while standing out slightly. With tight security and police dogs patrolling the area, the risk was high.

It’s not my fault people don’t know how to take care of themselves." I rolled my eyes and turned away, stepping toward the main street. The town was quieter now, with most businesses closed for the evening. A few groups of people wandered around, probably visitors in town for tomorrow’s hockey game. Viktor easily fell into step beside me. “Are you walking home alone?” I nodded. "I’ll walk with you," he said casually, shoving his hands into his pockets. > "I know." His voice was light, but his steps remained firm. "But I want to." I didn’t argue. It had been a long day, and honestly, I di

People in Velmont didn’t drink much coffee in winter since snow rarely fell in town. The last time it snowed was at my sixth birthday party. I only remembered because Mama had kept the photos at home. I had clocked out of my shift earlier that day. It had taken a lot of convincing to get both Gavin and my aunt to let me work. The head chef, Sasha, was at the grill, her face red from the heat. She was also washing dishes in the back, her movements sharp with frustration. Then Michael stepped in. He stood by the threshold of the double doors, scanning the room like a hawk. "You, with the ugly hairband." I froze, pointing at my nose in question. "Yes, you," he clarified. Self-conscious, I touched the hairband resting atop my head. My mother had given it to me. It was beige and outdated, but I loved it.

Lyric and her aunt were safer in my house than they were anywhere in Velmont, but that didn’t mean Alessio couldn’t still harm them. I wasn’t going to let that happen. Running a hand through my hair, I tried to ignore the weight of the steel tucked into my jeans. I pressed the doorbell. A sharp voice erupted from the speaker beside the gate. "Who is it?"
