The Blackburn match had confirmed that someone inside the club was leaking their tactics. That proof hit Maya hard, but it also sharpened her focus. The quiet worry that had been hanging in the background now felt like a clear, loud alarm. She had fought many opponents on the field, but this was different. This was an enemy hiding in the shadows, trying to destroy her team from within. And now, she was sure. Liam Hayes was the link, and Scarlett Thompson was the one pulling the strings.

Leo moved fast. He didn’t waste a second. He contacted Ben Carter’s friends; digital forensics experts known for being fast and quiet. But this mission had to be handled carefully. They needed to get Liam’s tablet for a few hours without him noticing. That meant creating the perfect distraction.

A few days later, the chance came ironically, during a fire drill. The club had scheduled a full emergency evacuation of the training complex early in the morning. It was the kind of chaos they needed.

The stakes couldn’t have been higher.For Leo, this night meant everything. Months of rehab, sleepless nights, and the weight of leadership had all led to this moment. It was his shot to prove himself again and to seal the Adidas deal that had been dangling by a thread. For the club, it was about money, pride, and Sir Alistair Finch’s corporate dreams. But for Maya, sitting quietly in a private box high above the crowd, it meant even more.It was about Leo.Chloe had arranged the private box for her; safe from cameras, from gossip, from scrutiny. Chloe sat beside her, steady and quiet. Maya’s heart pounded, matching the roar of the crowd with every chant and cheer. Every pass, every tackle, felt personal. She wasn’t just watching a game, she was watching him fight for everything.When Leo walked onto the pitch, the stadium exploded wit

  • Goal! The Manchester United Captains   Chapter 29: The Reckoning and The Respite

    The air inside Manchester United City’s headquarters still felt heavy with everything that had just happened. Liam Hayes’s emotional confession. Scarlett Thompson’s angry outburst. The hearing had ended, but the tension hadn’t gone anywhere. Maya and Leo walked out of Sir Alistair’s office feeling like they had won but it didn’t feel good. The truth was finally out, but it came with a price. They weren’t safe. Not yet.Sir Alistair was furious.Within hours, he’d called emergency meetings. The leaked files, Liam’s testimony, and Scarlett’s aggressive lies had stirred up a storm. And as if that wasn’t enough, Eleanor Wright’s article had just gone public. It exposed the pressure the club put on its players and pointed fingers at how much the women’s team had been ignored. The timing couldn’t have been worse. With the Adidas deal still in negotiation, Sir Alistair needed calm. Instead, he had chaos.He wasn’t just angry. He was trapped and when Sir Alistair felt cornered, he didn’t get

  • Goal! The Manchester United Captains   Chapter 28: The Edge of Exposure

    The internal investigation had reached a boiling point. Its reach now stretched into every part of Manchester United City, shaking the club from the inside out. Sir Alistair Finch was desperate. With the Champions League quarter-final approaching fast and the Adidas deal still hanging in the balance, he couldn’t afford any more chaos. The pressure was brutal. He called for a string of high-level meetings, trying to hold everything together with sheer will.Scarlett Thompson didn’t back down. Through her tough legal team, she hit back hard, accusing the club of turning her into a scapegoat. She called the investigation a “witch hunt” and threatened to sue. The club was bleeding morally, legally, and in the press. Sir Alistair knew it couldn’t go on like this. Something had to give.At the center of it all was a formal hearing. That was where it would come to a head. Scarlett Thompson would face Liam Hayes, and the evidence would be laid out for everyone to see. Maya and Leo had been as

  • Goal! The Manchester United Captains   Chapter 27: The Tightening Net

    The club’s internal investigation into Scarlett Thompson grew more intense. The atmosphere around Maya and Leo became heavier by the day. Every conversation felt like a test. Every glance seemed like quiet suspicion. Sir Alistair Finch was putting serious pressure on the leadership. He wanted the scandal shut down fast before it hurt the club’s clean image and put the Adidas sponsorship at risk. His stress flowed downward. Isabella Knight was always nearby, watching closely, and Coach Thorne was more on edge than ever.Liam Hayes faced long, hard questioning from club security and outside investigators. Slowly, he started to open up. He gave more details about Scarlett’s actions; how she manipulated him, told him to steal data, and paid him for it. His story was full of ambition, pressure, and jealousy. The worst part? He admitted that he had taken some of the photos of Maya at Scarlett’s request. Scarlett had wanted “leverage,” to make Maya look unprofessional and distracted. The ful

  • Goal! The Manchester United Captains   Chapter 26: The Storm Gathers

    Sir Alistair’s office had fallen quiet after Liam Hayes’s tearful confession, but the silence wasn’t peaceful, it was thick and heavy. What Liam admitted, and the proof Leo and Maya brought in, felt like poison seeping through the walls of the club. The perfect image Manchester United City had built was cracking.Maya felt a kind of justice, finally, but it didn’t last long. Her stomach was still tight with worry. The truth was out, yes but the real fight was just starting. Scarlett Thompson was smart, ruthless, and proud. She wouldn’t go down quietly.Sir Alistair, still full of cold anger, didn’t waste a second. He gave sharp instructions. Security took Liam away, his sobs echoing in the hallway like a reminder of just how far things had fallen. Isabella Knight, pale and shaken, was told to begin an urgent internal investigation into Scarlett.“Contain this,” Sir Alistair said, his voice low but firm, filled with power. “No leaks to the public. Not yet. This stays inside until we co

  • Goal! The Manchester United Captains   Chapter 25: The Unveiling

    The cold morning light didn’t help the heavy feeling in the room. Leo’s laptop screen still showed all the files copied from Liam Hayes’s tablet. It was more than just proof, it was a complete map of betrayal. There were leaked tactics, private team chats, secret messages between Liam and Scarlett, and even a hidden folder with personal pictures of Maya; photos taken without her knowing. It wasn’t just wrong. It was disturbing.“This isn’t just a leak,” Maya said, her voice tight, her hands clenched. “This is spying. And those pictures… this is sick.”Leo’s face was hard with anger. “Liam played with fire. And Scarlett gave him the match. We can’t waste time. We have to take this straight to Sir Alistair.”They knew the truth now. But revealing it wasn’t simple. Getting the evidence had involved Ben sneaking into a restricted area and copying a private device. If they weren't careful, they could end up in trouble themselves. Still, they had to take the risk. They had to act before Isa
