Ryan’s POV

The sharp sound of the whistle cut through the training ground.

“Again, Keller!”

I turned toward Coach Garcia, who stood several feet away and gave me a nod before facing the field.

“Come on, Ryan,” one of my teammates called. “Show us what you’ve got.”

I took the pass, pushed forward, and slipped past the first defender. When another player came at me, I shifted my weight and sent the ball between his legs. I passed to the striker, who drove it into the net.

“That’s it!” Coach Garci

    Lila’s POVPush him away, Lila.That was the first thought that crossed my mind as Ryan held me against him. His arm remained firm around my waist, pulling me close enough that I could feel the warmth of his body. His face hovered dangerously close to mine, his eyes holding my gaze for a moment before slowly dropping to my lips. The way his gaze lingered there sent an unexpected flutter through my stomach. I quickly looked away, taking a step backward.“Lila, are you hurt?” Ryan asked, concern etched across his face. “I'm…” My voice caught in my throat. “I’m Fine.He lowered his hands. “Are you sure? You almost fell.”“I'm sure. Thank you for catching me.”An awkward silence settled between us. I could feel Ryan’s eyes on me, but I refused to look up. I just wanted to get away from this hallway before either of us said something that would make the situation even more uncomfortable.“I should get back to work,” I said.“Of course.”I nodded and walked away. I kept walking until I r

    Lila’s POVI arrived at Aurelia earlier than usual that morning.The company building stood tall against the morning sky, its glass walls reflecting the sunlight as employees hurried through the entrance. I adjusted the strap of my handbag and took a deep breath before walking inside.“Good morning, Miss Lila,” the receptionist greeted me.“Good morning.”I gave her a smile and continued towards the elevators. By the time I reached the creative department, a few employees were already at their desks. I greeted them before settling into my seat and arranging my things.I had barely switched on my computer when a familiar voice came from behind me.“You’re late. As usual.”I turned sharply. Maya stood there with a tablet tucked beneath her arm. Her expression was as unpleasant as ever, and the way she looked at me made it clear she hadn't come over to exchange greetings.“Good morning, Maya.” I forced a smile that never quite reached my eyes. “I arrived a few minutes ago.”“Then I hope

When another player came at me, I shifted my weight and sent the ball between his legs. I passed to the striker, who drove it into the net.“That’s it!” Coach Garcia shouted. “Keep that pace.”I wiped sweat from my forehead. Joining Aurelia was supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to put my career back on track. But I hadn't come back for football alone.I had spent years trying to understand why Lila chose to be with that arrogant jerk, Cole. I should have respected her choice and moved on, but when she looked at me across that ballroom last night, something I thought I had buried came alive again. “Water break! Coach’s voice cracked across the trainin

    Lila’s POVThe silence inside the car was becoming unbearable. I sat beside Cole with my hands folded in my lap, watching the lights from passing cars slide across the window. He had not said a word since we left the event. His eyes fixed on the road ahead. For the rest of the evening, his fingers stayed wrapped around mine, as though he feared I might disappear if he loosened his grip.The event had come to an end thirty minutes later. Richard and Maya had gone home together, and I had practically rushed out before Ryan would get another chance to approach me. I couldn’t afford to have another conversation with him. Not after the way he had looked at me and declared that he would make me his again by any means necessary.“Cole,” I finally said, turning toward him.He didn't look at me. “What?”“What is wrong with you? You have been silent ever since we left the event.”“Maybe I have nothing to say.”“Cole…” My voice shook. “Please tell me what the problem is.”For a moment, he rema

  • Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain    Could this be fate?

    Lila’s POVRyan stepped onto the stage, and the ballroom erupted into applause. I remained frozen, staring at him as though my eyes were playing tricks on me. Beside me, Cole suddenly shifted."You've got to be kidding me," he muttered under his breath. "What the hell is that son of a bitch doing here?"I turned slightly towards him. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes were fixed on Ryan, his hand, which was resting around my waist tightened, pulling me closer to his side.Meanwhile, Ryan accepted the microphone from Richard and stood before the audience."Thank you, everyone.” His voice carried smoothly across the room. “It’s a pleasure to be here tonight and to become part of something as promising as Aurelia."The audience applauded again. He continued speaking about the opportunity, his excitement about joining the club, and his determination to give his best. I tried to concentrate on his words, but my thoughts kept drifting.Then his eyes moved across the ballroom and landed on

    Lila’s POVPhotographers stood behind the barriers outside the venue, their cameras raised as they waited for the guests to arrive. Bright flashes kept going off, lighting up the entrance as reporters stood beside them, holding microphones and talking excitedly into their cameras."Are you ready?" Richard's voice pulled my attention away from the photographers.I turned sharply toward him. He was sitting in the middle of the back seat, looking completely relaxed in his black suit. His tie was perfectly arranged, and not a single strand of his hair was out of place."I…” I swallowed hard. “I’m not sure.""There's nothing to be nervous about, Lila.""Some people need time to adjust to this kind of lifestyle.” Maya’s voice came beside Richard before I could respond. She was looking at her reflection in her small mirror, adjusting one of her earrings. “Especially when they've spent most of their lives poor.”Richard's expression hardened as he turned toward her."Maya, watch your tone."H
