ELARA

It was time for our afternoon match.

Me versus Ivy.

The scouts, staff, and clipboards were present. I looked around to have a glimpse of Aiden, but he wasn't present.

I stared at the net between us, Ivy didn’t look at me.

She just bounced the ball.

“First to six,” Coach said.

“Play.”

I served. It was very clean and sharp like myself.

But on the second serve, there was a double fault. It was weird. The third serve was out, by miles.

I stared at the line, that never happened.

“You okay?” Iv

It was very clean and sharp like myself.But on the second serve, there was a double fault. It was weird. The third serve was out, by miles.I stared at the line, that never happened.“You okay?” Ivy asked.“Fine,” I responded.She served next, it was too fast and the ball slammed past me.“Focus!” Coach Rain yelled.“I am!” I yelled, frustrated. But the score climbed.3 to 1.Then 4 to 1.I was losing.Ivy was moving smoothly and between points she said quietly, “You’re different.”“What?” I was breathing hard this time..“Before, you’d crush me.”“I will.”“Doesn’t look like it.” She smirked, I snubbed her and focused.“Game,” Ivy said.5 to 1.I was one game away from losing.I bounced

    ELARA“Run it again!”Coach Rain’s whistle split the air, but I was too lost in thought to hear him speak.“Elara… Elara Vance…”There was a tap on my shoulders. I looked up and it was my Coach, Rain. I flashed him a tired smile.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing, Coach,” I responded weakly, but my mind wasn’t with him.“You want to take some time out and rest?” he questioned, but I declined, saying I was fine.“Hey…” Mara nudged me.Last night was fun with her. She helped me clear my thoughts and we talked about everything possible, especially the Blackthorne brothers.I really needed that to clear my thoughts from the phone messaging incident.Mara was Aiden’s partner in the sports section. She was the Crowe’s only child.“You can do this, okay?”“1… 2…” Her voice kept fading off as I felt the hair on my skin rise.I swiftly turned around.I felt like someone was watching me.But of course people were watching me.This was my first training.“Elara?” Another tap on my shoulders brought me ba

    Chapter 105: The ContractElara's PovI stared at Aiden and back at Vance. I had no idea what was going on. I was switched and Ivy had taken my place earlier, so why was he here?I smiled at Ivy, but she didn't return it. She looked like she would pass out from stress.I didn't blame her. Just yesterday she was his protégé and now I was about to be the second one.Damon got up immediately."Mr. Vance, welcome to our home. We weren't expecting this courtesy visit.""This isn't a courtesy visit," Mr. Vance's lawyer said from behind."Mr. Damon, we heard you forced and coerced Elara to sign a contract marriage with you, so you could sign her as your protégé, right?"Damon didn't say a word and looked at Aiden."I didn't force her, the orphanage…" But he was interrupted by the lawyer placing three contracts before me."Miss Elara, you know you can be prosecuted for breaking the agency contracts and sponsorship deal when it's not yet expired, right?""Yes," I replied nonchalantly.The lawy

    Chapter 104: The BreakfastElara's PovMy back hit the table edge and I fell to the floor in pain. Damon got up, his hands tightening around his glass."Why are you touching my fiancée, Aiden?"But Aiden didn't answer. His eyes stayed on me. He wasn't angry, just neutral.I looked away, more embarrassed."Are you okay, dear?" the Matriarch called out. I nodded, but deep down I was losing it.I got up and a cousin made a remark."A tennis player with asthma? I don't bet anything on her, Damon. I hope you're making the right choice.""Let's reschedule this introduction to tomorrow. I'm exhausted."And with that, they all dispersed one by one.Damon didn't say a word to me but led me out. I knew he was fuming with unsaid anger."You embarrassed me tonight," he said in the hallway.But I didn't say a word."Get your act together if you want this sponsorship. They can't know it's a contract marriage and you, be the perfect wife. I've seen you play and whatever Aiden sets his eyes on is per

    Chapter 103: The ProposalElara's PovI stood still under his control. He towered over me, seven-foot-eight. The man I had returned to destroy stood over me and I couldn't do anything.Anger surged through me, but I knew that would be a weakness and I wouldn't show one, not now.He squinted, staring at me like he had just recognized me.This time, I tried to leave his grip but his hand grabbed my arm and yanked me against his waist."What are you doing?" I demanded, my voice sharper than I wanted."Who are you?"But he didn't answer, only his eyes scanned the horizon. We were too close and when I tried to twist away again, his grip tightened."Don't turn around," he said finally, low and smooth."If anything happens, stay still."I fidgeted immediately. Something was off and then I sensed it.Turning slowly, my stomach dropped. A massive dog stood near the hedges. I froze and the old fear from my first life returned.I grasped Aiden's collar instinctively. Some things didn't change fo

    Chapter 102: The Second ChanceElara's Pov"Not again!" I yelled when I opened my eyes and realised how bright the sky was. Fear hit me first, before any other emotions.Something was wrong today. I had never woken up this late. I already felt like a failure, as I wondered what my coach would say now.Just yesterday, he threatened to pull me out of the team.There was no time to think. Mr Vance was scheduled to visit the orphanage and being one of the best tennis players, I needed to be present.I sprang out of bed as I pulled the sheets tight and arranged the pillowcase, tucking all corners. I didn't want to be scolded again by the matron.The sound of whistles outside didn't let me focus. I ran to the sink, ready to wash my face. I tied my hair in a bun and raised my face in the mirror when I stopped.My hand froze mid-air as air slammed into my lungs so violently that I choked on it, and immediately the sounds of screaming and screeching filled me.I held my head in pain as I lost

I said, looking away from him."Alpha, the pharmacy is fully operat
