VIOLETTA

I stared at him still waiting for an answer but Cassian just stared right back, completely unbothered.

One second passed and then two.

Oh, he really wasn’t going to tell me.

“Has anyone ever told you that you’re annoying?” I finally asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

“Nah.” He picked up his drink. “They are usually too speechless to talk to me in the first place.”

The smugness on his face made me scoff, and this time, he laughed.

My eyes remained on him as he lifted his cup to his lips.

    CASSIANVioletta finally placed her hand in mine, and I helped her out of the truck before shutting the door behind her.The moment we stepped inside Ethan’s house, heads turned.‘Is that really Cassian Alexandris? And with the kiss cam girl?’‘No way… they’re actually together?’I expected it but judging from Violetta's reaction… Clearly she wasn’t used to this.‘She looks so cute wearing his jacket.’‘Didn’t Logan dump her yesterday?’Her fingers tightened around mine as whispers immediately spread through the room.‘Speaking of… Logan’s here too.’‘Shit… This night is about to be entertaining.’Without thinking, I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and pulled her a little closer as we moved through the crowd.The party was already in full swing, and it wasn’t even seven yet with swaying to the music… someone had somehow climbed onto the kitchen counter, and a crowd of drunk idiots were screaming over a game of beer pong.I was willing to bet at least three of my guys had already di

    CASSIAN“We both know you can do better.” Coach stopped directly in front of me, “I expect you to get your shit together before our next game because I will not let you drag this entire team down with you.”I swallowed whatever argument had been sitting on my tongue.Coach’s opinion of me mattered more than I would ever admit because he had never looked at me the way everyone else back home did. He knew about my family history… saw my fuck ups and every stupid fucking mistake I’d made, yet he had never made me feel worse than I already felt about myself.He’d continued supporting me…believing in me even when I didn’t trust myself and he was the closest thing to a father that I ever had, which made the disappointment on his face harder to stomach.“I understand.”“And?” His expression was still troubled, although he looked calmer now that he’d gotten everything off his chest.I exhaled slowly. “I’ll be on my best behavior.”Coach stared at me… more like glared at me, “On and off the i

    CASSIAN“I hate you.”I turned to look at her, and she simply shrugged, “What? I can’t help that I’m very honest.”She had this pointed look on her face, as though she was genuinely trying to convince me to take her words to heart.I didn’t.“We’ve been officially fake dating for barely thirty minutes, Red. That’s not very encouraging,” I teased as we walked toward my truck. “We are supposed to be in love moreover no one hates me.”She looked up at me and stared for a while, her brows slowly pulling together as she did.“I think you’re too pompous to think you can’t be hated?”The thought was in fact crazy because no one likes me, I didn’t make it any easier for them and I certainly don’t care who does and who doesn’t.I do, however, know for a fact that she didn’t. Else she wouldn’t be stretching up her neck just to meet my eyes to tell me how much she did.“You’ve been mocking my height,” she accused before quickening her steps to catch up with me and slipping her smaller hand into

    Violetta’s POVWithout looking back, I walked away with Cassian while Logan kept calling my name from behind us.“Are you really going to throw away everything we shared when I really need you?” I heard him shout after me.I felt my grip tighten around Cassian’s hand and kept walking, almost dragging him along with me. Surprisingly and thankfully, he didn’t complain… he simply matched my pace, letting me pull him.I couldn’t believe I’d almost fallen for Logan’s little display of jealousy.Could I even call it that? It seemed more like he was angry because, for the first time, I wasn’t waiting around for him to choose me.God.He was such a selfish prick.What on earth had I ever seen in that man that had made me abandon every ounce of common sense?The thought alone made me cringe.Only when we were far enough away did Cassian gently guide me toward one of the empty benches lining the hallway.I didn’t even realize I was still holding his hand until he carefully slipped his fingers f

    VIOLETTACassian had just reached for me when Logan caught my wrist.Okay…?I froze.What the fuck is going on here?It had just been less than twenty-four hours since Logan had stood in front of the entire university and made it painfully clear that he wanted nothing to do with me.He'd humiliated me, destroyed my reputation, and nearly ruined the career I'd worked so hard to build.So what was this stupid charade?“Let go of her, Cassian.” Logan said, through gritted teeth… trying and failing to sound intimidating.The two of them stared at each other as though they were only seconds away from throwing punches.Ollie would have paid good money to be an audience to this spectacle.As much as I hated to admit it, a small part of me couldn’t stop wondering where this version of Logan had been all while I'd begged for the bare minimum.I had spent two years hidden away like some dirty little secret, yet the moment he saw me with someone else, suddenly I was worth claiming.The realizati
