Avery's POV

I had sent the man who genuinely cared for me away and walked directly into the trap of the man who sought to control and use me.

Every time Ethan’s hand rested on my arm while flashing his smile, I fought the urge to scream.

But the fear was too big. The realization that Ethan was the architect of an entire cover-up kept my lips sealed and my movements cautious.

If I expose him, I would be exposing myself as a fool who ran back to her abusive boyfriend. I would jeopardize the team, the tournament and everything I’d worked for.

Four days after Jax’s disappearance, the rink felt less like a sanctuary and more like a gilded cage. Every movement I made was under Ethan’s scrutiny and instruction.

“No, Avery, not that speed,” he called out from the boards during one of our training session. “Hold back slightly. You’re over-rotating that combination spin. We need flawless execution, not reckless power.”

I pulled back and forced my speed down. I landed the final jump and skate

    AUTHOR'S POV Lina clicked to the next slide and the players became silent as the next set of photos were displayed.Avery's photo was in the very middle and the players' gazes immediately focused on her.She really didn't appear like she had experience. However, it was actually pretty hard to tell since her story were nothing to write home about. Lina cleared her throat and zoomed in on the three players at the bottom."Roy," Lina started off. "Let's talk about him first."Shaw clicked his tongue and crossed his arms in front of his chest."Is there even something to discuss about this guy?" he asked.Janet nodded in agreement. "Aside from his decent physique, there's really nothing good about him.""He played dirty all throughout," another player added. "He even elbowed my ribs in the process and it's still sore until now."Lina clicked her tongue. "I agree with everything you said. His friends aren't any better, too. I even wonder why they tried out for the team.""I heard somethi

    AUTHOR'S POV It was a sunny afternoon on a Thursday and the Hockey team had just finished with their training. John pursed his lips in frustration as he looked at his teammates that were lying on the floor."Isn't that floor dirty?" John said and grimaced as he imagined the germs that could cling to their skin."Ah, who cares. Shaw's mouth is dirtier than this, and I've never seen him complain. Let us rest for a while, captain," Janet whined.John gave Sharon a knowing look and before the captain could utter a single word, Sharon was already in action."Alright, get up. We need to talk about something important," she said and kicked the members' butts to get them to move.A collective groan was heard in the gymnasium as they made their way to the benches. John looked at the members one by one while smiling to himself when he realized how far they had come.It seemed like yesterday when they were just applicants who wanted to play on the same rink but now, they were the ones screening

    Avery's POV My eyes continued to twitch as Captain John spoke with us. Seeing Roy from my peripheral vision as he was laughing among his friends as if he hadn't just blocked my chance of shooting the puck into the net."The team will deliberate on your performances," John disclosed while walking back and forth in front of the applicants."Don't expect that all of you will make it," he added coldly.The applicants nervously nodded but I was still stuck on the shot that I couldn't make."You are dismissed," John instructed and we, the newbie players all scrambled out of the rink.Kate held her head up high as she exited the ice rink as if she was already certain that she was going to make the team.King walked slowly so that he could probably admire Lina's beauty for longer."Wait," the pretty manager softly called from her seat.Kate and King stopped while I continued to mutter curses under my breath as I walked to the bleachers with an angered heart."Wait," she repeated.King excite

    Avery's POVJanet exchanged amused glances with the other varsity players as their victory was already certain.To a team whose victories were pretty rare. Therefore, moments like these made them really happy.We, the newbie team, also started slowing down as we had already accepted defeat.50 seconds.Yet I still didn't give up.My objective wasn't to win but to land just one shot. So, as I sensed Janet's distraction, I extended my long, old stick toward her stick to stop her from reaching the puck.To everyone's surprise, including Janet herself, I stole the puck from her hand.For a couple of seconds, everyone seemed stunned as no one dared to move.However, they quickly snapped back to reality after I had gone deep into their half.Lina continued looking at me and I could feel her stinging eyes on me. Because of this, I couldn't concentrate properly but I forced myself to remain calm.I was afraid that I would lose this year if I fail to land this shot.Meanwhile, Sharon was also

    Avery's POV John had no choice but to allow me to play as the fifth member of the newbie team. The others who were still confused about Alen's sudden outburst, snapped back to reality when I was added to the team."I'll be the Forward," I said without hesitation. It was my main position before in my former school, so I was confident that I would be able to do it the best among everyone on the team.However, it seemed like my teammates didn't care at all about position."Who cares what our positions are?" Roy let out. "We just need to shoot the puck as many times as we can, right?""That's not how the game works," I corrected him coldly."Suit yourself," Roy said with a playful smile on his lips while his two friends also seemed like they didn't care much about Hockey positions.Only Alen's friend was the one taking me seriously but then again, it also appeared that she wasn't that great at Hockey based on what I had seen.John passed the puck to Roy and blew the whistle. There were o

    Chapter 39Avery's POV It was definitely not yogurt-flavored.Nonetheless, the girl had just drank the milk deliciously like it hadn't gone bad."Ah, that was good," she commended. "What brand is this again?"The guy beside her nudged her shoulder and shook her head. "Stop drinking. We're already the next players. You might slow down if you get too full.""I'm fine," she boasted. "This will be my source of power!"'Source of diarrhea, you mean,' I thought within myself.The whistle sounded and the players from the second set finally made their way back to the bleachers.There was a confident smirk on Kate's lips as she sat down, feeling satisfied with her performance.Meanwhile, the varsity team players went to the side of their bench to take a short rest and rehydrate.Playing two sets without rest had definitely taken its toll on them. The second set of applicants were also undoubtedly more difficult to play against, so they asked John for a short break. Fortunately, their team cap
