The Hockey Star’s Contract Wife
First-Person POVSweet LoveExclusive LoveCEOStarContract MarriageSportsRegret
Avery had only one goal: win the championship and secure her future.
As a professional hockey player living far from home, her career is the only thing standing between her and a life she desperately wants to escape. Her family has already accepted a bride price from a wealthy and controlling CEO, and if Avery is forced to return home, she will have no choice but to become his wife.
Then she loses the most important game of her career.
With her contract in danger and her visa at risk, Avery believes everything she fought for is over. Until the man who defeated her on the ice, hockey legend Jordan Carter, unexpectedly steps into her life.
Jordan has his own problem.
His powerful family is determined to force him into a marriage with Harper, the woman they believe is perfect for him. Jordan wants nothing to do with their plans, especially because he has spent years waiting for the childhood girl he once loved and lost.
So he offers Avery a solution.
A contract marriage.
She gets to remain in the country, while Jordan finally has a reason to make his family stop interfering in his life.
There are only a few rules: no emotional attachment, no interference in each other’s private lives, no third parties, and most importantly, no falling in love.
It should have been simple.
But living under the same roof changes everything.
As Avery begins to see the man behind Jordan’s famous name, Jordan discovers that the woman he brought into his life as part of a temporary arrangement may be the one person capable of breaking through the walls he built around his heart.

Chapter: FourCHAPTER FOURAvery’s POVI barely slept that night.I sat on the edge of the bed in a room that still did not feel like mine, staring at the floor as though it could somehow explain how my entire life had changed so quickly.Only one day ago, I had been standing on the ice, fighting for the championship and hoping that a victory would secure my future.Now I was married to a man I barely knew.Not a real marriage, I reminded myself.A contract.A temporary arrangement that would allow me to remain in the country and keep my life from falling apart.Still, the words in that contract continued to replay in my mind.No emotional attachment.No interference in each other’s private lives.No falling in love.It looked simple when written on paper, but sitting alone in that unfamiliar bedroom, I realized that living by those rules might not be as simple as signing my name beneath them.I kept telling myself that this was only about survival.I needed to stay in the country.I needed to prot

Chapter: ThreeCHAPTER THREEJordan’s POVIt was already midnight when I finally got home, and the silence inside the house felt heavierthan it should have, like it was pressing against my thoughts and forcing me to sit witheverything I had done without giving me a way to escape it.I stood at the entrance for a long time without moving, still in the same state I left the arena, stillcarrying the noise of the match in my head, but none of that mattered anymore because theonly thing I could hear clearly was my own question repeating itself.What did I do.Why did I bring a girl home.A girl I hardly know.I walked further inside slowly, but my steps felt disconnected from my mind, like my body wasmoving out of habit while my thoughts stayed frozen in the moment I stepped in between herand her family.Even now, I could still see it.Her tears.Her shaking voice.The way she kept saying no while they pulled her like she had no choice in her own life.I stopped in the middle of the room and exhale

Chapter: TwoCHAPTER TWOAvery’s POVThe moment the door of the locker room closed behind me, the sound of the arena disappeared completely, but the silence that replaced it was even worse because it gave my mind the space to finally understand what had just happened.We had lost, not just a game but everything.My legs felt weak as I moved slowly deeper into the room, my hockey stick slipping from my hand and hitting the floor with a soft sound that felt too loud in my ears. I stood there for a moment, staring at nothing, waiting for my body to catch up with reality, but it never did, so I simply sank down onto the nearest bench as if my strength had been taken away all at once.That was when it started.The tears came without warning, heavy and uncontrollable, sliding down my face before I even had the chance to stop them. I quickly pressed my hand against my mouth because I did not want to hear myself break, but I was already breaking. My shoulders shook as I bent forward, my elbows resting on

My skates glidedsmoothly across the surface while I adjusted my gloves and tried to calm the nervous feeling inmy stomach.This was the biggest match of my career.I had played many games before, but none of them carried the same weight as this one.Everything depended on today, my future, my career , my right to remain in this country.
