Faking Forever With My Hockey Roommate Chapter 9
Zaria's POVI stepped out into the hallway, smoothing down the front of the dress, and stopped in front of the full-length mirror near the entrance.I looked at myself. Really looked at myself.Godamnnnnnn.I had spent the last three days feeling like absolute garbage,eyes swollen, skin pale, living in oversized clothes that swallowed me whole.But now? I had put on a little lipstick, curled my hair so it fell over my shoulders in soft waves, and zip-locked myself into this nice ass dress.The dress itself was simple but the way it fit was just great.It made my waist look tiny and hugged every curve like it had been tailored specifically for me.So yeah, maybe I was a little depressed, heartbroken, and living out of a suitcase, but damn. I looked incredible.I pulled out my phone, angled it toward the mirror, and took a quick picture. Then another one. I was adjusting my pose to catch the lighting when a voice spoke up right behind me."Are you taking selfies?"I froze, my hand snapp

Zaria's POVTwo days had passed since I signed my life away on a piece of paper, and I was still waiting for the other shoe to drop.It felt entirely too good to be true. I had completely stopped the desperate job hunt after signing the contract, but my brain wouldn't stop running the numbers. When was the money actually going to hit my account? The draft for my mother’s medical bills was due by the end of the week, and every time my phone vibrated, my stomach did a little nervous flip thinking it was the pharmacy calling to tell me her prescription was delayed.If this thirty thousand dollars was real, it meant safety. It meant paying off Mum’s care, putting away a solid savings cushion, and finally, finally, getting my own place. Somewhere small, quiet, and completely free of men with massive egos.I was sitting on the edge of the bed in the spare room, staring at my reflection in the mirror, when David knocked on the open doorframe and leaned against it."You doing okay in here?" h

Niko's POV"Dude, are you fucking insane?"David was standing in the middle of the kitchen, staring at me like I’d just told him I was quitting the league to join the circus. He hadn't even rubbed the sleep out of his eyes yet, but his jaw was practically on the floor.I took a slow sip of my coffee, unbothered. It was almost impressive how similar he and Zaria were when they got dramatic. It must be a genetic thing. The same flared nostrils, the same wide-eyed disbelief, the same total inability to just take a win and move on with their morning."I'm completely sane," I said, setting my mug down on the counter. "And lower your voice. She's right down the hall.""Lower my voice?" David took a step toward me, throwing his hands up. "Niko, what the hell are you doing with my cousin? This isn't some trashy romance book where the rich guy pays a girl to pretend to be his girlfriend. Who does that in this day and age? What's your angle here?"I rolled my shoulders, keeping my face totally
Faking Forever With My Hockey Roommate Chapter 6
Zaria's POVI was up before seven. Not because I wanted to be, but because my brain refused to let me sleep past the crack of dawn. My head felt heavy, my eyes were still puffy from yesterday's humiliation tour around the city, and my throat was dry as sand.I padded into the dark kitchen, made a single mug of black coffee, and leaned against the counter, wrapping both hands around the ceramic to soak in the heat. The apartment was dead quiet except for the quiet hum of the fridge. I took a slow sip, staring at the cabinet door, trying to prepare myself for the speech I was going to give. I was going to be cool. Professional. I was going to make it crystal clear that this was strictly a business arrangement, that he did not own me, and that the second the thirty days were up, I was out of his hair forever.Then I heard his bedroom door click open down the hall.My back went totally rigid. Heavy footsteps dragged across the floorboards, and then Nikolai walked into the kitchen, looking

Zaria's POV"No way," I said, staring at the paper in my hand."Are you insane?"Niko didn't even blink. He just leaned against the counter, crossing his arms over his chest like we were talking about the weather and not some ridiculous, fake arrangement. Literally what the hell was going on in his head? How does he have this on standby?"Read the whole thing, Zaria.""I don't need to read the whole thing," I scoffed, tossing the folded paper back onto the marble top. It hit the surface with a soft slap."This is completely absurd. What is this, some kind of trashy soap opera? You want me to play house with you? Act like your girlfriend for thirty days?""We don't have to label it anything crazy," he said, his voice annoyingly calm. "It's a business transaction. You need money. I need the league off my back for thirty days so they don't terminate my contract. You sit at a few games, hold my hand in front of the cameras, and I make sure your mom gets every single cent she needs."My ha

Niko's POVThe next day…..I wore the grey suit because Dmitri begged me to and I was trying, in small ways, to be a person who picked his battles.Dmitri was waiting outside the building when I pulled up, standing in the cold with his hands in his pockets and he looked like someone who had been sentenced to at least fifty years in prison for being a close associate."What are they saying?”"Patterson is there. Hargrove from disciplinary. League counsel." He fell into step beside me. "And your father."I stopped walking.A woman behind me muttered something and went around us."How?” I gritted my teeth in anger. “He has no business being here so why the fuck is he here?!”He had no clue. "I don't know. I found out an hour ago. I tried to call you—""I was driving." I looked at the building. Fourteen floors of glass and clean lines and people who made decisions about other people's lives from behind desks. "He called someone on the board.""We don't know that—""Dmitri." I looked at hi
