LOVE AND SPORT
Sienna Carter has three rules: keep her grades high, avoid drama, and never—ever date an athlete. But when a cheating ex shatters her pride, a transfer to Northgate University throws her straight into the path of Scott McCall, Alpha, quarterback, and campus golden boy.
From the first clash, it’s war: football team versus cheer squad, Alpha versus Alpha. Then a scandal threatens Scott’s career, and his only way out is a fake relationship with the one girl immune to his charm.
What starts as a game of pretend turns dangerously real. Rivalry becomes chemistry, banter becomes fire, and with sabotage lurking in the shadows, Sienna and Scott must decide if their fake bond is strong enough to survive the truth.

Chapter: Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty fiveAlpha Hendrix POVThe weight of leadership is not something a man puts down at the end of the day.It follows you into sleep.It breathes with you.It watches every choice you make and demands to know if you are strong enough to live with the consequences.I stood by the tall windows of the pack house, hands clasped behind my back, watching the mist cling to the forest like a warning that refused to lift. The land was quiet—too quiet. The kind of stillness that always came before disruption.A storm was coming.I felt it long before I saw them.An Alpha knows when fate is walking up his path.“Alpha,” Beta Marcus said from behind me, his voice low, careful. “They’re here.”I didn’t turn immediately.I already knew who they were.My daughter.And the boy who refused to stay gone.“Let them in,” I said at last.Marcus hesitated. “Scott is with her.”“I said let them in.”The doors opened with a slow, echoing creak that carried down the hall like a challenge. I turned then—and there she

Chapter: Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty FourSienna’s POVFear has a smile. I discovered that as we drove away from the academy.It wasn’t loud. It didn’t scream or howl or announce itself the way danger usually did in our world. It was quieter than that—steady and persistent, like a heartbeat that refused to calm no matter how many times you told yourself to breathe.Scott’s hand was wrapped around mine, firm and warm, but even that couldn’t fully steady me.I kept my eyes on the road ahead, watching the scenery blur past, because if I looked at him for too long, I knew I would cry. And if I cried, I wasn’t sure I would stop.This was really happening.I was taking the man I loved to stand before my father.Alpha Hendrix.The name alone carried weight. Authority. Fear. Power sharpened by years of command and tradition. He was not a man who bent easily. He was not a man who forgave quickly. And he was definitely not a man who welcomed surprises—especially ones that came in the form of a rogue with a complicated past and a heart

Chapter: Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty ThreeScott’s POVThe engine rumbled beneath my feet.It was a low, steady sound, the kind that usually meant movement, distance, escape. The bus doors hissed shut, sealing us in, and I felt it in my chest like a final breath being taken without my permission.This was it.Home.I sat by the window, my bag at my feet, my hands clasped together so tightly my knuckles ached. Outside, the academy grounds slipped into stillness—quiet buildings, empty walkways, a field that had given me everything and taken just as much in return.I told myself this was what I wanted.Distance.Time.A chance to breathe without every decision feeling like a battle.And yet, as the driver shifted gears and the bus lurched forward just an inch, something inside me snapped taut.Not fear.Clarity.My chest tightened, not with dread, but with a sudden, brutal truth I could no longer ignore.Running home wasn’t courage.It was avoidance.I glanced down the aisle instinctively, searching for her even though I already

Chapter: Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty TwoScott’s POVThe stadium was still buzzing in my head long after the noise faded.Winning the match should have felt like closure. Like a full stop at the end of a messy sentence. Instead, it felt like a comma—like something important was still coming, something heavier.Home.That word followed me everywhere in the days after the match.In the locker room, where congratulations felt forced and awkward.In the corridors of the academy, where people suddenly remembered my name again.In my dorm room, where my bag sat half-open on the floor, waiting to be filled.Preparation for home wasn’t just about packing clothes. It was about bracing myself for everything I’d been running from.Coach Miller didn’t say much to me after the game. He clapped my shoulder once, firm and deliberate, like he was trying to make a point without using words. I noticed the way his tone shifted around me afterward—respect mixed with caution. As if he was reminded of my worth, but also of the chaos that seemed

A contract Wife
The night I thought the love of my life would propose to me, I found him in bed with another woman.
Three years of love ended in one painful moment.
I was heartbroken, angry, and completely lost. But I couldn't afford to fall apart for long. My younger sister was sick, and she desperately needed an expensive medical treatment. Without it, I could lose the only family I had left.
Just when I thought I had no way out, an unexpected offer came to me.
Damian Cole, New York's most feared billionaire CEO, needed a wife to secure his inheritance.
I needed money to save my sister.
So, we made a deal.
A contract marriage.
There were only a few rules: no questions, no emotions, and absolutely no falling in love.
It should have been simple.
But living with Damian under the same roof changed everything.
He was cold, powerful, and impossible to understand. Yet, whenever I was in danger, he was always there to protect me.
Slowly, the fake marriage began to feel real.
And then I discovered something that changed everything.
Damian was connected to the darkest part of my past.
Secrets, lies, dangerous enemies, and a hidden betrayal began to tear our marriage apart.
When the truth finally came out, I had a choice to make.
I could walk away from the man whose entire life was built on secrets.
Or I could fight for the love I never expected to find.
Some marriages begin with love.
Mine began with a contract.

Chapter: Chapter fourteenSophia froze the moment she heard Fiona's voice from the other side of the door. For several seconds, nobody moved. Nathan immediately stepped in front of Sophia, while Damien's expression hardened. His eyes remained fixed on the door as another soft knock echoed through the apartment. “Sophia, I know you're in there,” Fiona called again. Her voice sounded calm, almost too calm. “Please open the door. I need to talk to you.” Sophia stared at Damien. “Why is she here?” Damien didn't answer immediately. He moved toward the door, but Nathan caught his arm. “Sir, let me check first.” Damien glanced at him, then nodded. Nathan moved quietly toward the door and looked through the peephole. After a moment, he stepped back. “She is alone.” Sophia's heart was still pounding, “Are you sure?” “Yes.” Damien looked at her. “You don't have to speak to her if you don't want to." Sophia shook her head. “No. I want to know why she is here.” Damien studied her face. “Then I'll stay with

Chapter: chapter thirteenSophia stared at her phone long after the call ended. “Damien?” she called slowly. She heard nothing and she immediately called again. Still, she heard nothing reply. Her heart began pounding. A part of her knew something had happened. Damien had never ended a conversation like that. Even when he was angry, he always had something to say. Sophia looked down at the necklace lying on the floor. Her mother's necklace and the note was still beside it. She bent down and picked both of them up. Her fingers were shaking. “This can't be true.” She said the words aloud, almost as if saying them would make them disappear. Her mother had died years ago. Sophia remembered the funeral. She remembered standing beside her father, holding his hand because she was too young to understand why everyone was crying. She remembered the coffin. She remembered her father's face. She remembered him telling her that her mother would always be watching over her. Everything she remembered sudde

Chapter: Chapter twelveSophia stared at the screen in disbelief. Fiona. There was no mistake. The woman in the footage was Fiona. She was wearing dark sunglasses and a black coat, but Sophia knew her face too well. She had seen it only a few days ago when she had walked into Damien's bedroom and found her with him. Her stomach twisted. “She was at the hospital,” Sophia whispered. Damien didn't respond. His eyes remained fixed on the footage. Nathan replayed the video. This time, he paused it when Fiona turned toward the camera. “She knew exactly where the camera was,” Nathan said. Damien's expression hardened. “What do you mean?” “She turned away from it at first, then deliberately looked toward it.” Sophia folded her arms tightly across her chest. “So she knew she was being recorded?” “Maybe,” Nathan said. Sophia looked at Damien. “Ask her.” Damien finally looked at her. “I will.” “No.” Sophia shook her head. “Call her now.” Damien hesitated. “Why are you hesitating?” “I need to understan

Chapter: Chapter elevenNathan arrived at Sophia's apartment less than twenty minutes later.He barely waited for the door to open before stepping inside.Sophia looked at him with confusion. “What happened?”Nathan glanced around the apartment before looking back at her. “Where is Serena?”“She went to the hospital to check on my sister. Why?”Nathan pulled out his phone. “Mr. Cole asked me to come here.”Sophia folded her arms. “Why?”“He received another message.”Her expression immediately changed. “About me?”Nathan nodded.Sophia's heart sank. “What did it say?”Nathan hesitated. He was not sure if telling her was a good idea but he did promise not to hold back anything from her. “Tell me.”“It said someone is trying to stop the wedding.”Sophia stared at him. “That isn't exactly surprising.”“It also said the person had already gotten close to you.”She went quiet.Nathan watched her carefully. “Has anyone strange approached you recently?”Sophia thought about it.“No.”“Think carefully.”“I am think

Chapter: chapter tenThe next morning, Sophia woke up to the sound of her phone vibrating repeatedly on the bedside table.She reached for it without opening her eyes, expecting Serena to be calling her. Instead, she found several missed calls from an unknown number and dozens of messages from different people.Sophia frowned as she unlocked her phone. The first message made her sit upright.“Is it true?”Another one followed.“Congratulations, Sophia!”Then another.“Girl, when were you going to tell us you were marrying Damien Cole?”Sophia stared at the screen, completely confused.“What?”She quickly opened her social media account. Her heart nearly stopped.The headline was everywhere.BILLIONAIRE DAMIEN COLE TO MARRY MYSTERIOUS WOMAN IN PRIVATE CEREMONY.Another headline appeared beneath it.COLE FAMILY HEIR FINALLY SET TO TIE THE KNOT.Sophia's eyes widened as she clicked on the article.There was a photograph of Damien leaving Cole Enterprises the previous evening.The article claimed that the wom

Chapter: Chapter nineDamien drove through the gates of the Cole mansion with his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel. His grandfather's last words kept repeating in his head.She's in more danger than you realize.He had heard his grandfather speak about enemies, business rivals and threats countless times, but there had been something different in his voice tonight.Fear.Damien stepped out of the car and walked into the mansion without waiting for anyone to greet him. His grandfather was already in the study, standing beside the large desk with an old brown envelope in his hand.“You came alone?” his grandfather asked.“Yes.”“Where is Sophia?”“At my apartment.”His grandfather's expression changed. “You left her alone?”“She has security.” Damien replied.“That isn't what I asked.” the old man said, squeezing his brows. Damien frowned. “What is going on?”His grandfather held out the envelope. “Close the door.”Damien did as he was told, then turned back toward him. “What did you find?”His gran

Chapter: Chapter forty twoThe trial took four months.Four months of testimony, of cross examinations, of Vivian and Claire Odum building a case so complete that Gerald's lawyers spent more time apologizing for him than defending him.I sat in that courtroom every single day.I listened to Dr. Esso read his written account aloud, his voice breaking only once, on the word "heart." I listened to Dr. Monroe describe the morning her daughter didn't come home from school. I listened to the prosecution lay Catherine Robertson's life out piece by piece until she was no longer a footnote in someone else's story.She was the story.Gerald never took the stand. His lawyers advised against it, and for the first time in his life, he did as he was told.The jury deliberated for six hours.When the foreman stood and read the verdict, I did not cry, and I did not smile. I simply breathed, the way you breathe after holding something underwater for a very long time and finally letting it go.Guilty on all counts.First degree

Chapter: chapter forty oneThe next two weeks moved with the kind of focused momentum that left very little room for stillness.Vivian scheduled three separate testimony preparation sessions. Claire Odum's office sent formal documentation requests daily. Dennis's legal team worked in parallel managing the corporate side — ensuring the Robertson Group shares remained secured under Hawkins Capital while the criminal proceedings developed.I barely slept.Not from distress this time. Not from the kind of sleeplessness that had once driven me to a bridge in the rain.This was different.This was the sleeplessness of a person building something. Checking every brick before laying the next one. Making sure nothing would crack under the weight of what was coming.Sheila came to the penthouse on a Wednesday afternoon.I had agreed to see her alone.

Chapter: chapter fortyThe DA's office on Creston Avenue was the kind of building that made you feel the weight of institutional authority the moment you walked through its doors.Cold marble floors. Fluorescent lighting. The quiet hum of a system that moved at its own pace regardless of how urgently the people inside it needed it to move faster.Dennis and I arrived at six fifty-five.Vivian was already in the lobby, sharp and composed in a grey suit with a leather folder tucked under her arm. She shook my hand first and Dennis's second which told me everything I needed to know about who she considered the principal in this case."Any word from Lisbon?" I asked immediately."The flight landed at six twenty this morning local time," Vivian said, lowering her voice as we moved toward the elevator. "Portuguese authorities confirmed contact with the aircraft. Gerald was taken into temporary custody at the airfield pending verification of the wrrant." She pressed the elevator button.

Chapter: chapter thirty nineThe words hit me like cold water."What do you mean he left the city?" I said.The voice on the other end remained measured and professional. "We sent officers to the Robertson residence at four thirty this afternoon for a voluntary questioning request. The housekeeper informed them that Mr. Robertson left with a single bag approximately two hours before our arrival. His car was found at the airport thirty minutes ago.""Which airport?" Dennis asked, leaning close."Westfield Private Airfield," the voice said. "Not the commercial terminal. A private charter." A pause. "We've issued an alert but if the flight departed before the alert was processed—""He's already gone," I said quietly."We believe so yes," the voice confirmed. "Mrs. Hawkins we're going to need you in our offices first thing tomorrow morning. Seven o'clock if possible. We want to move on an international notice before he has time to establish himself somewhere with limited extradition cooperation.""We'll be there," D

"Medical evidence, financial transaction records, and a sworn written testimony from a Dr. Philip Esso." A pause. "Gerald, this is serious. This isn't a civil matter anymore. If the DA's office picks this up—""Can we block it?" Gerald cut in."I don't see how," Brock said. "The documentation is thorough. Whoever put this together knew exactly what they were doing."

Chapter: CHapter 53Kate povEunice walked towards the boys’ room and knocked on it gently. The knob twisted, and the door gave way. It was Nathan who opened the door, and he had to look up to see the tall woman standing before them.Eunice smiled and said, “Hey!”Instead of replying, Nathan turned to his brothers and signaled for them to come over. Jason and Liam strolled over to him and also saw Eunice.“Hey… can I come in?”Jason shrugged, and the boys looked at themselves as if meditating on whether to let her come in or not. Liam opened the door wide for her, and then she walked in.She looked around the room and found it so adorable, then went to sit on the couch in the room. “I’m so sorry I had to disturb you.”The boys went to sit on their beds and were facing her but didn’t say a word.“Don’t you like me? Why are you guys giving me that look?” she asked.“Can I ask our dad who you are?” Nathan asked.“Oh! That… erm… in the past, your dad and I were friends—very close friends. Then he promised th

Chapter: Chapter 52One of the men appeared all of a sudden and saw one of them on the floor. “What! Bitch!” he shouted, and others began to run towards him. I threw my shoe toward the man, and while he was guarding himself from getting hit, I ran speedily toward the room.The three men in the room ignored me and ran quickly away. I was confused and wondered if I was a ghost. Before I could take another step, I saw Roberto appear.“Find and bring me those men,” he commanded, and his guards ran after them immediately.I was still trying to catch my breath, having just run while trying to escape death. I looked at Roberto blankly and wondered how he found me. He walked toward me and wanted to grab my wrist, but I pulled my hand away. I didn’t want him to touch me. Was he not the one who sent me away and let me get kidnapped? He always punished and made up for mistakes. But what if I had been raped and killed before he found me? I was angry.Roberto then said, “Let’s go home.”“I will find my way home,” I s

Chapter: Chapter 51My heart thumped so heavily I almost choked to death. “Oh my! You’re a kidnapper!” I realized I had to do something—fast. I attempted to jump on the man’s hand, hoping he would lose control of the steering, but he immediately took his hand off the gear and picked up a small bottle, spraying its content right in my face.Everything went black.I lost consciousness immediately. The driver glanced at my face and grinned as if he had found a prize. Once he parked before an uncompleted house, he jumped out and shouted with glee, “Fucking hurray! We’ll get to fuck a pretty angel!” His disgusting voice echoed in my fading senses.Other men began to walk out, drawn by his voice, eager to see the new catch.Then, a call came through on the man’s phone. I heard him answer it while asking one of his men to help light the cigarette he had just pulled from his pocket.“Have you got her?” Eunice's voice filtered through.“Yes, she’s here. Send my money already,” the driver said, puffing smoke from

Chapter: chapter 50Once the work period was over, Roberto walked out and was soon escorted out of the building as usual. He had told me to join him in the garage in two minutes—he didn’t want us walking out together so people in the company wouldn’t assume there was a relationship between us. He couldn’t afford to make whatever was between us public.While I was wrapping up my work and getting ready to leave the office, the door suddenly opened and Eunice walked in.“You bitch!” she spat furiously.I paused what I was doing and looked at her. Then I smirked and calmly continued packing my things. I picked up my small handbag and headed for the exit, but Theresa stretched her arms out to the sides, blocking my path.“Please move out of the way,” I said, trying to stay polite even though I was irritated.“Do you really think Roberto loves you?

Chapter: Chapter 49Kate povWhen I remembered that Roberto once told me that loving any woman was impossible, I thought I might be thinking too far."Can I know how much I will earn as salary?" I asked.Without glancing at me, Roberto answered, "Multiply whatever amount you were to earn monthly as a secretary by two. That will be your salary for the position."My heart almost exploded with happiness. Double my salary? That was huge, and even the work I had to do was very little. This wasn’t even something to be sad about.But rather than using my leisure time to play games, I decided I was going to use it to come up with many amazing designs that might fetch me a huge amount of money in the future."Happy?" Roberto suddenly asked, and I responded instinctively, "Sir?"He paused what he was doing and asked in a clearer tone, "Are you happy that you have an increase in promotion now since your salary has practically doubled?""Kind of," I answered.A knock landed on the door at that moment, and Roberto ge

Chapter: Chapter 48Kate povIt was late at night when Patricia walked out of her room. She was bored, and truthfully, she had thought she would be living in the same room with Roberto. After all, we were husband and wife. She never foresaw that we would be living separately.She could only reveal her identity after she had a baby for him. That way, no matter how angry he got, he wouldn’t be able to easily chase her away because she’d have a child for him.She impatiently walked towards the master bedroom. She knocked on the door gently but got no response. She knocked again and again, wondering if Roberto was inside or not.“Hello,” a majestic voice sounded behind her, and she turned at once. Seeing Roberto standing tall before her, her heart skipped, and she swallowed hard.“Hi,” she smiled. “I felt lonely in my room and decided to come and check on you.”“I don’t like people intruding into my privacy. I’m a very busy man, I hope you can understand that?” Roberto asked.“Yes, sure. But I also hope you’
