Chapter: AnnouncementChapter FourKaia’s POVI had been sitting on my couch for almost an hour with my laptop open in front of me, but I had barely read anything on the screen because my mind was somewhere else entirely.My phone suddenly rang, I looked down and saw my friend’s name on the screen.I answered immediately. “Hello?”“Kaia, where have you been?” she asked, sounding unusually excited.“At home. Why?”“You haven’t heard?”I sat up slightly. “Heard what?”There was a short pause before she laughed. “The championship.”My heart skipped. “What championship?”“The championship, Kaia. The one you’ve been waiting for.”I immediately pushed the laptop away. “What happened?”“It has been officially announced. The dates were released this morning, and registration has already started.”For a moment, I couldn’t speak.The championship, the one I had been talking about for months, the one I had wanted to play in more than anything.I had imagined myself standing on that ice, wearing my team’s jersey, hea

Chapter: My BrotherChapter ThreeKaia’s POVI had spent years building my name in hockey, yet now that I was trying to build something of my own, my name did not seem to be enough.I walked out of the building where I had just finished another meeting, holding my phone tightly in my hand as I looked at the message I had received a few minutes earlier, another rejection.I stopped beside my car and stared at the screen for a moment before locking my phone.I was tired of hearing the same excuses.Some people said they needed more time, some said they were not ready to take the risk, others simply stopped answering after I mentioned the name of my new team.I knew exactly why. Roman.I refused to let myself believe that he was behind every rejection, but it was becoming harder to ignore the pattern.I opened my car door and was about to get inside when a black car slowly moved in front of mine and stopped.I immediately recognized it, my expression hardened.Of course, the window rolled down, and Roman

Chapter: StartingChapter 2Roman’s POVThe morning after Kaia walked out of my office, I sat behind my desk with the team’s financial reports spread across it. I had spent most of the morning going through the numbers, and the more I read, the clearer one thing became.Kaia was the center of almost everything.Her name was attached to the biggest sponsorship deals, ticket sales depended heavily on her, merchandise carrying her number sold faster than the others, and even the team’s media attention was largely built around her.My assistant walked into the office with a tablet in his hand.“Sir, there is something you should consider. Kaia is the most talented player on the team. If she leaves, it will be a loss for the acquisition because so much of the team’s value depends on her.”“I know.”I turned another page before leaning back in my chair. “I didn’t know when she became this brave.

Chapter: ControlChapter OneKaia’s POVThe final whistle blew, and for a second, everything around me seemed to disappear.Then the arena exploded.“Kaia! Kaia! Kaia!”Thousands of voices rose together as I stood in the middle of the rink, breathing heavily, my hockey stick still in my hand and sweat running down the side of my face. I looked up at the scoreboard and saw what I already knew.We had won,againI smiled as my teammates rushed toward me, pulling me into hugs while the crowd continued chanting my name. Cameras flashed from every direction, reporters were already pushing toward the barriers, and somewhere behind them, our fans were waving jerseys with my number printed across the back.This was how it had always been, I played, I won, people shouted my name.I had spent years earning this moment, one game after another, one victory after another, until I became the player everyone expected to carry the team whenever the pressure became too much and I had never complained about it.I love
