MIA'S POV

“No. I know it's painful, and I know all you care about is money, so I've compensated you well for breaching the contract and more.”

Something caught in my throat. For a few seconds, I couldn't breathe. So that was what he thought of me? That I had only stayed because of his money? My fingers slowly loosened around the railing. He wasn't completely wrong. The first time I accepted the arrangement, I had been desperate. My mother had been abandoned at the hospital after Logan refused t

  • FAKE DATING MY EX'S RIVAL HOCKEY STAR   SOMEONE'S WATCHING

    MIA'S POV“M-Mia, I-I…”“What do you want from me, Ryan Hayes!”I turned, and the person I saw behind me was none other than the last person in the world I would ever want to see.“M-Mia... I-I want to speak to you.”Why was he hiding his face with a hood? Why was he looking back and forth as if he was scared someone would find us here?“Never! Get your filthy hands off my wrist!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, my heart throbbing so hard in my chest that I was sure it might pop out, and he quickly released me.His eyes softened, as if he was scared I would disappear into thin air.He looked tired. Now that I was close, I could see the dark circles underneath his green eyes. His demeanour had also changed. He looked nothing like the strong, powerful and always in control super star Ryan Hayes who was used to win matches. What happened to him? Why was the sudden change within a short period of time?Wasn't he happy now that he was with Rebecca?I quickly shook my head. That was non

    MIA'S POVI couldn't help but turn to Betty.She raised her eyebrows.“What?”“What did I do?”Betty laughed softly.“You're asking me?”“I have no idea why she wants to see me.”Franklin looked over from his desk.“Maybe you're not in trouble.”I frowned.“Then why?”He smiled.“You'll find out after lunch.”I looked toward the restaurant's exit, but she was already gone.God.My heart was practically bursting out of my chest because of fear.The food suddenly tasted like charcoal.What did I do?“She must have done something,” someone murmured from the table behind us.“I heard she didn't qualify to be her assistant. Maybe she has found someone better.”God, they also knew about that.I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry.“It's okay, Mia. Don't listen to them,” Franklin said.But I wasn't listening.Maybe they were right.Maybe she was going to fire me.My stomach twisted again.“Yes, Mia. They are just jealous,” Betty said, louder than necessary so the gossipers could hear.All

  • FAKE DATING MY EX'S RIVAL HOCKEY STAR   ADAPTING

    MIA'S POV The following days became easier. Sara taught me which files needed immediate attention, how she wanted documents arranged and how she preferred her calls handled. She corrected me whenever I made mistakes. I listened and learned. I never argued. And slowly, I started understanding the rhythm of the office. I also started noticing other colleagues in the company apart from Betty and Franklin. Some were kind. Some were indifferent. Others clearly wished I had never walked through that door. Sarah was very kind to me. I could see it with the way she helped me learn. When I did a mistake, she never lashed out. She just corrected me and told me to do better next time. She was good to me that I decided to wirk exra hard and learn quickly to avoid mistakes, that I ended up skipping lunch. I didn't want to disappoint her especially with the fact that she was kind to. That really angered many in the company, leading some to start gossiping. “She thinks starving herself makes her b

    MIA'S POVI sat down and stared at the computer.Then I immediately pulled out my phone and called Sophie.The moment she answered, I blurted out, “I got the job!”“Congratulations, girl!”Her scream was so loud that I pulled the phone away from my ear. She seemed to be happy that I was.I laughed.“Thank you.”“I knew you would get it! I knew it!”“You sound happier than I am.”“Of course I am. Now, since you have your first salary coming, you owe me.”I laughed again.“What do you want?”“Pizza.”“Okay.”“No, wait. Not pizza. I need clothes.” She interrupted, how voice louder.“Okay.”“No, maybe shoes.”“Sophie, God.""“Fine. I'll think about it.”I shook my head.“You better decide before I get paid.”“You better not forget me.”“Never.”She lowered her voice.“I'm really proud of you, Mia.”My smile softened.“Thank you.”“I have to go. I'm still in class. I literally stepped outside just to receive your call.”“Oh, I'm sorry.”“You're forgiven because you got the job.”She hung u

    MIA'S POV“You can do this, Mia.”I stood outside the building with one hand wrapped tightly around the strap of my handbag and another one, on the small file I had carried along with me, staring at the entrance as people walked past me without giving me a second glance.“Remember, no one can see your nervousness.”I could still hear one of my lecturers saying those words back at Michigan University."People cannot see your fears unless you let them see them."I had remembered those words countless times during presentations, exams and difficult moments at university, but today they felt different.Today, I was not walking into a lecture hall.I was walking into a law firm where I did not know anyone, where I had no experience and where most people probably knew me for something completely different from what I wanted them to know me for.Ryan Hayes's fake girlfriend.The girl who had been publicly rejected by him.The girl everyone believed had used a hockey star to make herself impo

    MIA'S POV"It doesn't matter who he is anyway." I shook my head.No.I was imagining things.My father was not some powerful man hiding somewhere.I did not even know what he looked like.Why would a man like that matter to me now?I grabbed my handbag.“Goodbye, Mom.”I leaned down and kissed her cheek.“I love you.”I had almost reached the door when her voice stopped me.“Mia.”I turned.My mother was looking at me with tears shining in her eyes.“I am proud of you.”For a moment, I could not breathe.Those four words reached somewhere inside me that I had spent weeks trying to protect.My eyes burned.“T-thank you, Mom.”My voice trembled.I looked away quickly, blinking hard.She was proud of me.Even after the suspension.Even after everything people had said about me.Even after the men in my life had made me feel like I was something they could use and throw away.My mother still looked at me and saw her daughter.“You don't know how much those words mean to me.”She smiled th
