THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king CHAPTER 127: Captain Under Fire
Leo POVWinning Game Two should have quieted the criticism for at least a few days, because championship series were supposed to be judged by results rather than narratives and Northridge had done exactly what was required after dropping the opener, yet the moment I opened my phone the following morning I discovered that public opinion had already found a new angle to dissect, while analysts debated leadership qualities, sports networks compared performances, and social media accounts treated every shift of the championship as evidence supporting whichever conclusion they had already decided to believe.The comparison with Jax had returned.Again.Louder this time.More persistent.More public.Everywhere I looked, someone seemed eager to ask the same question in a different form, while television panels discussed offensive production and hockey podcasts analyzed advanced statistics and journalists published article
THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king Chapter 126: Couple Duties
Maya POVThe most frustrating part about the fake relationship was not the lying, because the lie itself had become so deeply woven into daily life that pretending in front of cameras often required less effort than explaining the truth would have, nor was it the constant attention from students and reporters, exhausting as that had become, but rather the fact that every new level of success seemed to generate an entirely new collection of obligations that neither Leo nor I had agreed to and yet somehow remained expected to fulfill as though public ownership came included with popularity.The championship finals had elevated everything.Every interview attracted more viewers.Every photograph generated more discussion.Every appearance created another wave of speculation.What had started as a simple arrangement designed to solve specific problems now felt less like a secret agreement and more like a machine that continued g
THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king Chapter 125: Game Two
Leo POVThe hours leading into Game Two felt heavier than they should have, because losing the opening game of a championship series did not end a season and every player in our locker room understood that fact logically, yet logic rarely carried much weight inside the mind of an athlete who had spent an entire night replaying mistakes and imagining different outcomes, while every television segment, social media discussion, and sports article seemed determined to analyze our shortcomings from every possible angle, creating the kind of pressure that could either break a team apart or force it to become stronger than it had ever been before.Coach made his expectations clear long before we stepped onto the ice, while video sessions focused on details rather than panic and leadership meetings centered around adjustments rather than blame, creating an atmosphere that felt noticeably calmer than the outside world despite the fact that we were preparing for one of the m
THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king Chapter 124: Championship Travel
Maya POVThe public only saw championship hockey when the lights came on and the cameras started rolling, because what appeared on television was always the dramatic part that fit neatly into highlight packages and emotional montages, while the endless hours spent traveling between cities, waiting inside airports, sitting through meetings, recovering from games, and maintaining routines under constant pressure rarely attracted attention despite forming the foundation of everything that happened on the ice.That reality became impossible to ignore during the first away trip of the Championship Finals.The team left campus before sunrise.Players moved through the athletic center carrying equipment bags and half-finished coffees while coaches reviewed schedules and support staff checked travel arrangements for the third time, creating the familiar chaos that seemed to accompany every major road trip regardless of how carefully everything had be
THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king Chapter 123: The Pocket
Leo POVThe problem with routines was that they became invisible after a while, because habits repeated often enough eventually stopped feeling like choices and started feeling like necessities, which was why it took me several days to realize that reaching for the letters had become as automatic as checking my hockey gear before practice, while the folded pages remained tucked safely inside my pocket or equipment bag no matter where I went, creating a dependence I would have mocked relentlessly if I had seen it happening to anyone else.The morning after the network announcement began with practice.At least that part was normal.Everything else felt increasingly complicated.Championship preparation consumed most of our schedule, while coaches dissected video footage from Game One and adjusted strategies for the next matchup, creating an atmosphere where every mistake was examined repeatedly and every decision seemed capable of inf
THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king Chapter 122: National Obsession
Maya POVThe morning after the championship opener should have been dominated by hockey analysis, because Northridge had just played one of the most important games in program history and the entire country suddenly seemed interested in college hockey, yet somehow the conversation had drifted away from defensive adjustments, scoring opportunities, and championship strategy and settled instead on something far more ridiculous, creating a reality where Leo and I had become almost as newsworthy as the series itself.I discovered that unfortunate fact before I even reached campus.My phone began vibrating before sunrise and continued doing so with such consistency that I eventually considered turning it off completely, while notifications flooded every application I owned and messages arrived from classmates, production staff, distant acquaintances, and even relatives who rarely contacted me under normal circumstances, creating the kind of digital chaos t
THE ICE WE BREAK :Fake dating the ice king The Digital Execution
Maya POVThe contract was still warm in my hands. My phone vibrated, then again and it didn’t stop. I frowned, shifting the contract under my arm as I pulled my phone out. Notifications stacked on top of each other so fast that the screen lagged for a second.Northridge Spill. I opened it.[EXCLUSI
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 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 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
