Leo

The morning of the biggest game of our season arrived with the kind of pressure that seemed to settle over an entire campus before a single puck touched the ice, because everybody understood what was at stake and nobody pretended otherwise, while sports networks spent the entire week discussing playoff implications, leadership questions, captaincy rumors, draft projections, and every possible outcome that could emerge from sixty minutes of hockey, creating an atmosphere wh

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    Chapter 217: The Invitation

    Leo POVThe invitation arrived on an otherwise ordinary afternoon between practice and a scheduled video session, tucked among contract updates and community appearance requests that had become part of my daily routine since entering the NHL, and I almost overlooked it until the familiar title of Maya’s documentary caught my attention, followed by a handwritten note from the festival director explaining that a limited number of private guests had been invited to the final gala screening and that my presence would remain completely confidential if I chose to attend, leaving me unexpectedly still as memories I had carefully learned to carry without dwelling on them quietly resurfaced all at once.For several long minutes I simply stared at the invitation resting on the kitchen counter while sunlight filtered through the apartment windows, realizing that months had passed since I last saw Maya in person even though we continued exchanging occasional messages that

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    Chapter 216: The Film Festival

    Maya POVThe invitation to premiere my documentary at one of the most respected international film festivals arrived months after I had already convinced myself that the project had reached the peak of its journey, because the documentary had earned critical praise and industry recognition far beyond anything I originally imagined while opening doors that transformed my career from an uncertain ambition into a genuine profession, yet standing outside the historic theater on the evening of its festival premiere surrounded by filmmakers whose work had inspired me throughout my years as a student, I realized there were still moments capable of making even the most carefully controlled confidence give way to quiet disbelief, reminding me that some dreams continued unfolding long after you thought they had already come true.The festival itself carried an atmosphere unlike any event I had attended before, with streets filled by artists and journalists speaking doze

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    Chapter 215: What Matters

    Leo POVThe strange thing about losing someone who had once been one of the most important people in your life was that the pain did not arrive as dramatically as I once imagined it would, because after the confrontation with Jax ended and I walked away from the empty arena without looking back, I expected anger to consume every thought I had for days or perhaps weeks, yet what settled inside me instead was an overwhelming sense of exhaustion mixed with quiet sadness, as though I had finally reached the end of carrying a weight neither of us had been willing to admit existed until it became too heavy for our friendship to survive.For several days I replayed our conversation countless times while traveling with the team and sitting through video sessions and morning practices, wondering whether there had been a single moment years earlier when everything could have unfolded differently if either of us had found the courage to speak honestly before resentment h

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    Chapter 214: The Last Thing He Says

    Jax POVPeople always believed jealousy arrived suddenly as though it were born from a single moment of weakness, but the truth was far uglier because it grew quietly over years while disguised as admiration and loyalty and patience, feeding on every comparison and every headline and every conversation where someone looked at me only long enough to ask another question about Leo, leaving me convinced that I had accepted living in another man’s shadow until I finally realized I had merely become skilled at pretending the darkness no longer bothered me, and by the time he walked onto the empty ice toward me that night with disappointment written more clearly across his face than anger, I already understood there were words waiting inside me that could never be taken back once they were spoken.He stopped only a few feet away without raising his voice or making any attempt to intimidate me, asking why I had chosen to reveal conversations that were never meant to

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    Chapter 213: Betrayal

    Leo POVProfessional hockey taught me to expect pressure from opponents and criticism from the media because both came with the territory once your career became visible enough for strangers to form opinions about your life, yet nothing prepared me for discovering that the most painful blow would come from someone who once knew me well enough to recognize exactly where my deepest vulnerabilities existed, because betrayal always carried a different kind of weight when it arrived wearing the face of a friend you had already forgiven once before.The story broke late in the afternoon while our team was finishing recovery sessions after practice, appearing first as a sports interview clipped into short videos before spreading rapidly across every major hockey platform as reporters highlighted one particular section where Jax had been asked about leadership and the transition from college hockey to the professional level, and although his opening answers remained r

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    Chapter 212: Jax’s Decision

    Leo POVBy the middle of my rookie season the rhythm of professional hockey had finally begun to feel familiar rather than overwhelming, allowing me to focus less on proving that I belonged and more on improving the smaller details that separated dependable players from exceptional ones, yet despite how completely my life had changed since leaving Northridge, there remained certain friendships that refused to become simple memories, and among them none carried more complicated history than the one I shared with Jax, because although we had repaired enough of the damage created during our final college season to part on respectful terms, I always sensed that some wounds had merely stopped bleeding instead of truly healing.We spoke only occasionally after graduation, usually through short messages following particularly good games or major career milestones, with neither of us attempting to recreate the effortless closeness we once enjoyed because we both under

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    The Punch

    Maya “Did Leo just punch Hayes?” Chloe’s voice cut through the noise. One second, Northridge was roaring chants, skates, sticks, and the next, silence. “No,” I said, adjusting my camera. “He just ended his career.” Through the viewfinder, everything sharpened to Leo Thorne. Captain, the Ice K

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    The Perfect Couple Disaster

    Maya By the time I moved back into my dorm two days later, Northridge had fully lost its mind. Someone had taped printed screenshots of me and Leo across the journalism building hallway like we were celebrities instead of victims of a badly managed public relations stunt. One photo showed him le

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    The Rules of the Lie

    Maya By the next morning, the internet had apparently decided I belonged to Leo Thorne.I opened one video and instantly regretted it. Someone had edited slow-motion clips of Leo looking at me at the café, adding soft music and dramatic captions like we were characters in some tragic sports docume

  • THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king    The Glass Walls

    Maya POV “Chloe, wait!” I pushed through the library doors hard enough for them to slam against the wall, the sound chasing after her down the corridor. She didn’t slow, didn’t turn, just kept walking like stopping would break something she was barely holding together. “Please,” I said, catchi
