And now, I can’t even say it to the world — just to the bastard Aiden, but it’s a start.
“I’m surprised she stayed a virgin for you with you being a dick and all that. And you’d think being with me for three years would have upped her standards.”
“More like lowered them.”
“I don’t know what perverted game you’re playing, Nash, but does she agree?”
“That’s none of your business. Your only role is to end it.”
“No can do. You see, Queens and I are it. So what if you’re fucking her? I’m the one whose ring she’ll be wearing and who she’ll marry.” His face is blank, but it couldn’t look any more gruesome if he were smirking.
They made a deal. I can smell it in the air, even without knowing it for sure.
Silver felt threatened and, therefore, pulled on her armour, in which Aiden plays a part.
The fucker must’ve been offered something that serves him in some way.
I slam the lid of the bottle shut. “Are you sure you want to play this game with me? This time I will crush you.”
“Is that a promise?”
“This is your only warning, King. I will not play fair.”
“Are you telling me you were all this time?”
“Your choice.”
“Show me your worst, Nash.”
The break finishes and Aiden saunters back to the field.
After Levi King graduated, I became the captain. He recommended me to the coach because he thinks I’m more level-headed than his dick of a cousin. He chose right. I can pretend to care, Aiden doesn’t even try.
I follow close behind him. If it were any other person, they would’ve backed away, especially if it was someone who’d witnessed how I play unfair.
However, Aiden is made for the challenge. The harder it gets, the more insistent he becomes about finishing it with flying colours.
It’s his loathsome competitive nature that resembles Silver’s, and probably the only reason why they get along on some level.
What Aiden doesn’t realise is that I know his weakness. He didn’t have it when he took off with her and played me by sending those texts. Now, he does.
I promised him and I promised her.
It took me years, but I’ll make them both fall as far as I did.
I’ll make them feel every thread of chaos I felt while riding my bike all night under that pouring rain.
When I go back to Sebastian’s house that late afternoon, it’s buzzing with energy.
Assistant, PR team, spokesman team, publicist, secretary, and even the driver. They’re all there, running about and making calls and turning the house into an elections’ hall.
Farewell, my quiet home. Mum kept the house, but it’s not like I’ll go live there on my own.
I wouldn’t anyway. Even with the number of people who are here on a daily basis, being here is worth it.
We’re under the same roof. My chaos and I.
“Oh,
