SEVEN.

I was finishing the last skating drill when the head coach raised his hand and called me toward the bench. My legs were tired, my jersey was damp with sweat, and all I wanted was to get my helmet off, but the serious look on his face made me slow down. I pulled off my gloves and walked over, wondering if something had gone wrong during practice. Instead, he gave me a small smile that immediately made me curious.

“Good session today,” he said. “But I wanted to talk to you about Mikka.”

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   50: Genuine Concern

    MIKKA.I knew something was wrong the moment I returned to the arena and saw Seven waiting near the video room. He wasn't doing anything unusual, but the way he looked at me made my steps slow, because his eyes followed me with a seriousness I had not seen that morning. I placed my notebook on the desk and tried to act normal, but he didn't say hello or make one of his usual jokes. Instead, he walked toward me and asked where I had been, whether anyone had followed me from campus and whether I had received any more anonymous messages. The questions came so quickly that I stared at him in confusion.“Why are you asking me all of this?”Seven looked away for a moment before answering.“Because I'm worried about you.”“That doesn't answer my question.”He sighed, then pulled out a chair and sat down. I remained standing because something in his expression told me I wasn't going to like what came next. Finally, he admitted that he had spoken with the team's security coordinator after seei

    SEVEN.I was still in the video room when Mikka suddenly closed her laptop and looked toward the analysis office across the hallway. She frowned when she remembered that she had left one of her notebooks there, then quickly stood and gathered her papers. She told me she would only be gone for a few minutes and placed her phone on the table before walking away, saying she didn't want to carry it around while searching through the files. I barely paid attention because I was still studying the footage on the large screen, but a few seconds later, her phone lit up beside me. I glanced toward it without thinking, expecting another team notification, and then I saw the message preview.“The attention around you won't protect you.”I froze.I didn't touch the phone, but I couldn't stop staring at those words. The memory of the black sedan outside Mikka's residence suddenly came back to me, along with the strange feeling I'd had when I noticed it sitting there for far too long. I had told my

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   48: His Attention

    MIKKA.I found out what Seven had done when one of the analysts walked into the video room with his phone in his hand and a surprised look on his face. “Oh, you both are here?”I looked up at him, puzzled.“Yeah. What's up?”He placed the phone in front of me without saying anything, and the moment I saw Seven standing outside the arena surrounded by reporters, my stomach tightened. I watched the interview in silence, listening as he spoke about my work, my reports and the changes we had made together, and I felt embarrassed when he openly admitted that I had helped him believe in himself again. He did not make me sound like some magical person who had fixed his career, but he made it clear that he trusted my ability, and somehow that meant more to me than all the praise I had received from the coaching staff.When the video ended, I looked at Seven, who had been standing near the doorway without me noticing.“You didn't have to do that.”He shrugged, but there was nothing casual abo

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   47: Enough Talk

    SEVENBy the time I reached the arena the next morning, there was no way to escape the photograph. It was everywhere, from sports websites to social media pages and entertainment accounts, and every headline seemed determined to turn one simple dinner into a story about my entire life. Some headlines asked whether Mikka and I were secretly dating, while others claimed she was responsible for my sudden return to form. I had barely stepped out of my SUV when reporters rushed toward me, cameras flashing so quickly that I had to shield my eyes for a moment. I kept walking toward the entrance, hoping they would lose interest, but the questions followed me across the pavement.“Seven! Are you and Mikka together?”“Is she the reason you're playing better?”“Does the organization approve of your relationship?”“Seven, is Mikka becoming your personal coach?”I stopped.The reporters immediately moved closer, their microphones almost touching my face. I looked around at all the cameras and real

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   46: Hurting Her

    MIKKA.I woke up to the light from my phone flashing across the dark room, and for a few seconds, I had no idea what time it was. I reached for it sleepily, expecting another message about the internship, but the moment I opened the first notification, the little bit of peace I had been feeling disappeared. A photograph filled the screen, showing me and Seven walking out of the restaurant the previous evening, with his hand resting casually on the car door while I stood beside him smiling. My stomach tightened as I scrolled down and saw that the picture had already been posted on campus gossip pages, hockey forums and sports accounts, with strangers adding their own stories to a moment they had not even witnessed. Some called me the woman behind Seven Calloway's comeback, while others said I was using him to build a career in professional hockey, with some persons even claiming that I had planned the entire thing for attention.I kept scrolling until my fingers started to hurt, but so

    SEVENI had barely finished changing when the general manager appeared at the locker room door and motioned for me to follow him. I pulled my jacket on and stepped into the hallway, wondering if I had done something wrong, because managers did not usually pull players aside after practice without a reason. He walked in silence until we were far enough from the locker room that the noise of the other players faded behind us. Then he stopped near a window overlooking the empty parking lot and turned toward me with a serious expression.“Seven, I want to talk to you about Mikka.”I raised an eyebrow.“Is something wrong?”“No, not at all,” he said quickly. “Actually, it's the opposite.”The manager leaned against the wall and folded his arms.“Honesty, when the head coach first suggested bringing Mikka into the team's tactical meetings,I wasn't convinced,” he began to say. “She was a graduate student without professional experience, and the organization already had analysts who have spen
