Second Chance

He was never supposed to matter. Jace Ryder was a risk—reckless, ruined, and one mistake away from disappearing for good. Hockey was his only future… until the accident took it from him, leaving behind nothing but rumors and a reputation already falling apart. Nyra Hale doesn’t believe in accidents. She believes in strategy. With two months left before she’s forced into a life she didn’t choose, Nyra needs chaos—something powerful enough to fracture the perfect image her father built. And Jace? He’s exactly the kind of damage she can control. Her offer is simple: She rebuilds his career. He plays the role of her boyfriend. Publicly, they’re irresistible—fire and chemistry no one can ignore. Privately, it’s a negotiation neither of them fully controls. Because Jace isn’t as broken as she thought. And Nyra isn’t as untouchable as she pretends. What starts as a calculated game turns into something dangerously real—late nights, lingering touches, the kind of tension that doesn’t stay fake for long. And when buried truths surface—about the accident, about betrayal, about who’s been pulling the strings—the line between control and surrender begins to blur. Someone wanted Jace gone. Someone close. And as everything unravels, Nyra and Jace are forced to decide: Was this ever just a game… or were they always meant to lose themselves in it?

Chapter 1: The First MoveNyra's PovI did not believe in accidents.That was the first thing I reminded myself as I stood behind the glass, watching the game unfold in front of me. The rink was loud, filled with people shouting, clapping, and calling out names, but none of that mattered to me. I was not there for the team, and I was not there for the game. I was there for one person.Jace Ryder.I had heard his name long before I ever saw him play. People talked about him like he was already something bigger than this place, like it was only a matter of time before he left and never looked back. When I finally saw him on the ice, I understood why.He did not play like the others.There was something controlled about him, even in the middle of chaos. He did not rush his movements, and he did not panic under pressure. Every pass, every turn, every decision looked intentional, like he already knew how everything would play out before it happened.That kind of confidence was rare.That k

Chapter 2: The SetupNyra's Pov I did not go home immediately after leaving the rink.I stayed in the parking lot for a while, sitting in the car with the engine off while I watched people walk out of the building. The noise from inside followed them out, and most of them were still talking about the game like it was the only thing that mattered. Some of them were laughing, others were arguing about certain plays, and a few were still calling Jace’s name like he could hear them from outside.I paid attention, but not to what they were saying.I was watching how easily people reacted to him.It was not just about how well he played. It was about how quickly people attached themselves to him, how they looked at him like he was already ahead of everyone else. That kind of attention did not disappear on its own. It had to be redirected.That was the part most people did not understand.I leaned back in my seat and let out a slow breath, going over everything again in my head. I had alrea

Chapter 3: The Night Everything Changed Jace's PovI had played enough games to know when everything was going my way, and that night was one of those nights.From the moment I stepped onto the ice, I could feel it. My movements were sharp, my timing was right, and everything seemed to fall into place without me forcing it. The crowd was loud, but I was used to that. It had been like that for a long time, and I knew most of them were there because they expected something from me.I never had a problem giving them that.By the time the game ended, my name was already being shouted from different parts of the rink. My teammates surrounded me, talking over each other, hitting my shoulders, and laughing like we had not just spent the last hour trying to tear through another team.“You carried that last play,” Luca said as he grabbed the back of my jersey. “I swear you do not even try anymore.”“I am trying,” I replied, pushing his hand away. “You just cannot keep up.”He laughed like he

Chapter 4: After the Crash Jace's Pov When I opened my eyes, everything felt wrong.The first thing I noticed was the light. It was too bright, and it made it hard to focus. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my body, forcing me to stop immediately. For a few seconds, I stayed still, trying to understand where I was and what had happened.Then it came back to me.The road, the headlights, the impact.I inhaled slowly, but even that felt uncomfortable. My chest tightened, and I realized I was lying flat on something firm. The smell around me was clean and sharp, and that was when I understood.I was in a hospital.I turned my head slightly, and the movement made the pain worse, but I forced myself to keep going. The room was quiet except for the steady sound of a machine somewhere close by. I followed the sound until my eyes landed on a monitor beside the bed.For a moment, I just stared at it.Then I noticed someone sitting near me.My mother.She was leaning forward sli

Chapter 5: The Game Without MeJace's Pov I did not go to the final match.At first, it was not even a decision. I was still in the hospital, and the doctors made it clear that I was not going anywhere. Even if I had wanted to leave, I would not have been allowed to. My body was still recovering, and every movement reminded me of that.Still, I knew exactly when the game started.I had been thinking about it all day.Mason came by earlier than usual, and he did not ask if I wanted to watch it. He already knew the answer. He set his phone up on the small table beside my bed and pulled up the live stream without saying much.“You do not have to,” he said.“I know,” I replied.But I was already watching.The rink looked the same as it always did. The lights, the crowd, the energy, nothing had changed. That was the part that bothered me the most. Everything was still moving forward like I had never been part of it.The team walked onto the ice, and I felt it immediately.Something was of

Chapter 6: The DistanceJace's Pov The days after the final match did not feel real at first.For a while, people still showed up. My phone kept buzzing with messages, missed calls, and short check-ins from teammates and people I barely talked to before. Most of them said the same things, and none of it really stayed with me.They told me I would recover. They told me it was not over. They told me I just needed time.I listened, but I did not believe them.By the end of the week, things started to change.The messages became less frequent. The calls stopped coming in as often. The visits became shorter, and then some people stopped coming entirely. It was not sudden, but it was clear enough for me to notice.People were moving on.That was how it worked. I had seen it happen before, just not like this. When you are in the middle of everything, it feels like it will stay that way, like people will keep showing up because they always have.That was not true.The only person who stayed

Chapter 7: Graduation DayJace's Pov I did not want to go to graduation.That was the only thing I was sure about when I woke up that morning. I had already made up my mind the night before, and nothing about the day made it feel any different. Sitting through a ceremony, watching everyone celebrate something that did not feel real to me anymore, was not something I was interested in.Still, I got up.I stayed in bed for a while, staring at the ceiling and trying to convince myself that I could just stay there and ignore everything. It would have been easy to turn off my phone and pretend I did not hear anything. For a few minutes, I almost did.Then my phone started ringing.I already knew who it was before I picked it up.Mason.I let it ring once more before answering.“You are awake?” he asked.“Yes,” I replied.“Good,” he said. “That means you are coming.”“I said I would think about it,” I told him.“And I told you that means you are going,” he replied.I sat up slowly, feeling

Chapter 8: The ApproachNyra's Pov I saw him before he saw me.I arrived early and stayed where I could watch without drawing attention to myself. Graduation ceremonies always followed the same pattern, and people rarely paid attention to anything outside their own space. They were focused on their families, their friends, and the moment in front of them. That made it easy for me to observe without interruption.I found him quickly.He stood out even without trying. People still noticed him, but the way they approached him had changed. They hesitated before speaking, and when they did, the conversations did not last long. I watched several interactions from a distance, and they all followed the same pattern. They asked how he was doing, he gave a short answer, and then they left.He was already adjusting.I paid attention to the details. The way he held himself had not changed much, but there was something quieter about him now. He was more controlled, but not in the same way he was

Chapter 9: The DecisionJace's Pov I did not throw the card away.I thought about it more than once after I got home. It would have been easy to drop it somewhere and forget about it, or at least pretend I had. For a few minutes, I even left it on the table without looking at it, like ignoring it would make it less real.It did not work.I picked it up again.There was nothing complicated about it. Just a name, a location, and a time. No explanation, no extra details, nothing that made it easier to understand what she actually wanted.That was the part that bothered me.If it was a joke, it was a strange one. If it was serious, it made even less sense.I leaned back in the chair and stared at it for a while, going over the moment again in my head. The way she spoke, the way she looked at me, none of it felt random. She did not hesitate, and she did not try to explain herself.It was like she already expected me to understand.I did not.“You are still thinking about it,” Mason said.

Chapter 10: The TermsJace's Pov I looked at her for a few seconds after she said that, trying to decide if I heard her properly.“You what?” I asked.“You,” she repeated, without changing her tone. “That is what it costs.”I leaned back slightly in my chair and let out a slow breath. There was nothing uncertain about the way she said it. She was not trying to impress me, and she was not trying to convince me with anything extra. She sounded like someone who had already made up her mind before I even got there.“That does not explain anything,” I said. “You cannot just say something like that and expect me to understand.”“I am not expecting you to understand without asking questions,” she replied. “That is why you are here.”I rested my arm on the table and looked at her properly this time.“Then explain it,” I said. “Clearly.”She nodded once, like she had been waiting for that.“I can get you back into hockey,” she said. “Not in a distant future, but soon enough that it still matt
