Fred POVMy phone has been ringing nonstop, and I am getting really annoyed. Jude is so drunk at this point that Richard takes him to the guest room and calls Bonnie to let her know he will sleep there. Obviously, she flipped the lid and was on her way here.Diego was already waiting for me downstairs with his daughter. As soon as I enter the car, the girl smiles at me and I offer her my hand. “Hi, I’m Fred,” I say, and she shyly accepts it, shaking it.“I’m Marta,” she says and I smile.“That’s a beautiful name. Your dad tells me you play hockey?” I ask, trying to make the girl feel a little more comfortable. I know how overwhelming it can be to meet your hero. She smiles and nods her head as she fiddles with her hands on her lap.“Yeah, I play right wing,” she says and I smile. “I started as a goalkeeper but the coach thought I was wasted there, so he moved me forward,”

Tatum POVMarta is the sweetest teenager I have ever met, that girl can make everyone smile with how caring and smart she is. I see a little of myself in her; I used to be like that, but unfortunately, some people got a hold of my innocence and kindness and destroyed it. I hope she can fight that off; I hope she can find someone who will treasure the way she is, someone who will lie down roses on the floor for her to walk on, someone who will treat her like a Queen.I can see movement in our direction and when I look it’s him, It’s Fred walking towards us, the way he walks with one hand in his pocket and the other on his side, the way his eyes scan my body makes me want to disappear into a hole and never come out. I look directly into his eyes and I can’t help but remember his eyes locked on mine while he was with his head between my legs. I stiffen as I bite my lower lip, closing my legs tighter together as I can feel the wetness.After some s

Tatum POVEverything seems to move in slow motion. I can’t believe what is happening here. I know Thunder thinks highly of himself and I never thought he would get so upset about this. I honestly thought women would bid on him, but I guess no woman wants to bid on a man who shows off like that, a man who did nothing to stop the women fighting for him and didn’t even acknowledge them. I guess he might learn a lesson with this. Or so I hope.“No, you’re not my captain anymore so you can’t come in here and start barking orders thinking we all have to bow to you, fuck you Moore, you are where you deserve to be,” he says, and before I even compute what was said a fist meets with Thunder’s nose making him take a couple of steps, back trying to keep his balance. His eyes go darker as he looks straight to find Fred without his jacket his sleeves pulled up to his elbows and his fists up in a fighting position.“Come at me,

Fred POV“Seven hundred thousand!” I hear someone in the back shout. I can’t really see who it is as the lights pointing toward the stage are kind of blinding me. I smile with my hands inside my pockets as they are starting to sweat. Put me in the middle of a rink with thousands of people watching me and I feel like no one is there, I feel normal, no pressure, but here, there’s only a couple hundred people and I feel like I am naked, exposed. I hate this feeling.“Seven hundred and fifty thousand,” I hear another woman shout. The value keeps going up and up to fifty thousand. I keep smiling, pretending this is perfectly okay. To be auctioned like a doll, like a prize.“One million,” I hear the hostess say, and I frown. When did it get to that amount? I look at her, smiling. “One million going once, one million going twice,” and without hesitation, I face her.“Two million dollars,” I

Fred POVTatum has been asleep for hours and I can’t bring myself to lie down next to her. I am sitting in the most uncomfortable armchair in the world. I don’t know what the interior designer was thinking when she bought this for my room. I make a mental note to get rid of this chair as soon as possible.Tatum moves on the bed, and my eyes dart to her immediately. She’s wearing one of my Nirvana t-shirts that cover her body all the way to the middle of her thighs. I watch as her lips part slightly and her eyes shut tighter as she moves on the bed. Her head darting from one side to the other and I realize she’s having a bad dream.Immediately, I fall on my knees on the floor next to the bed and hold her hand between both of mine while I whisper. “It’s okay baby, you’re safe. No one is going to hurt you, not while I am here,” I keep repeating until her body stills and her breathing goes back to normal. I move my hand, but hers squeezes mine, stopping me.“Stay with me,” she whispers as

Tatum POV I open my eyes to find Fred still asleep naked next to me on his bed. I can’t help but smile as his protective arm rests over my stomach. Fred has been great the last few days. I haven’t left his apartment, and he has refused to leave me alone. I know I have to leave today. He has practice and I have to go home to Grace. I can’t stay away from her like this. Obviously, Mara knows what happened, and she is okay to look after Grace, but she is my daughter and I need her hug to help me heal. I need her to be with me; I need her to help me go back to being the woman I was, not a victim. I am a fighter, and I will never allow myself to see myself any differently. What happened to me was not my fault, and was not a reflection of anything I did, it was all on him; he made the decision to force himself on me. I can feel the tears threatening to spill but I close my eyes, taking a deep breath to force myself to stop. I feel Fred moving. His arm disappears and I open my eyes to see

Tatum POV“Where the fuck have you been? Why isn’t anyone telling me where you are, a bunch of useless dicks,” Thatcher says as soon as he answers the phone without even saying hello, and I close my eyes shut. I can’t believe I ever liked him, he is so obscure. What did I see on him? I guess I was just young, stupid, and naïve.“No one is telling you anything because it’s none of their business, or yours by the way,” I say and he takes a deep breath and I know he is pissed. I know he is about to lose his shit. I should’ve kept my mouth shut, but I am tired of being the good girl. I am tired of being the one used and abused. I am tired of everyone doing whatever they want and I am the one suffering the consequences. Enough is enough.“Look, whatever it is you want it’s gonna have to wait, I will be at the game later,” I say and I can hear him throwing something, maybe a glass against a wall maybe, because I can hear the shattering of glass in the background.“You’re annoying me, Tatum,

Fred POV Leaving Tatum was the hardest thing I had to do in my life, especially after what she went through. I still can’t believe Thunder did that. I never really thought he was my friend, but I saw him as a half-decent guy. Julien called me today as the girl from my case was being interrogated again today. Apparently, her lies keep surfacing and things are getting bad for her. A witness came through with some footage from the party, and there it’s visible that I was pushing her away from me, and that I was way too intoxicated. Julien is trying to spin things around. He is going to go after her for sexual harassment to me. He says he has enough evidence now that she lied and manipulated a situation, not to mention what Thunder said in front of three witnesses. Tatum is really a very strong woman, not everyone would be able to move on the way she has, I know that she hasn’t really faced the world yet, but the way she behaved in the hospital while they collected the evidence from he
