Second Chance

Sports

Noah Hayes, an NHL hockey star, had never believed in love because he thought people wanted him for what he had, not who he was. Lena Carter had just caught her boyfriend cheating on her with someone she never expected. When a photo of Noah helping Lena went viral and turned into a scandal. Noah's PR manager, with no other solution, suggested a fake relationship—a signed contract with no feelings involved. It was all supposed to be easy, except when Noah started leaving her breakfast before training and being there whenever she needed him. Lena Carter also ended up falling for the man she was only supposed to pretend to love, believing Noah had also fallen in love with her. But unknown to her, all that care meant nothing to him. She mistook his care for love. Noah was too afraid to believe he had feelings for her, but by the time he finally admitted that he truly loved her, it might already be too late. But Noah must decide if he's willing to win her back. This time, not with a contract, but with the truth.

THE BETRAYAL
“Shh, be quiet, he'll be here any moment.” Lena's voice dropped almost to a whisper.“I can imagine how surprised he will be. Thank God I asked for his spare key before he left for work.”A wide smile spread across her face as she couldn't take her eyes off the decorations.The living room was decorated with ribbons, candles, and fairy lights that gave the entire place a warm glow. The air was filled with the aroma of mouthwatering food, and she made sure only his favorite dishes were prepared. There were mashed potatoes, French fries, barbecue, and cheesecake, which made everyone's stomachs growl. A big white banner was placed on the wall that read: Happy Birthday, Ethan.It was almost time for the surprise, and Ethan hadn't arrived yet.She glanced at the clock: 8 p.m.He should have been here by now. She fidgeted with the edge of her sleeve.She couldn't stay still, pacing back and forth with a heavy sigh, for what felt like the hundredth time.“He isn't back yet." Someone behind h

ONE UNPLANNED NIGHT
Sophie stopped in her tracks and turned to Emma, wearing a fake smile. The worst part wasn't just what she had done; it was the smile on her lips.“That was a shitty choice of words, Emma. Watch your mouth.”“Or what? What the fuck is this motherfucker going to do?” Emma closed the distance between them, but Lena caught her by the arm before she could move any closer.“I never thought you'd betray me. I trusted you, but you just turned out to be a piece of shit.”“Whatever.” Sophie left.Lena's gaze shifted to Ethan, her expression hardened with fury. “I can't even look at you right now.” She paused and turned to all the guests behind her as they exchanged uneasy glances among themselves. “I'm so sorry y'all had to witness this bullshit. I never thought I'd see my boyfriend kissing another woman.”She forced the pain down, refusing to break down in front of them. “Thank you all for coming, but I think it's best if we end this surprise party here and head home safely.” One by one, the

ALMOST LETTING GO
Ethan was kneeling beneath a canopy full of white roses and petals, decorated in both blue and gold. His grin was impossible to hide—the kind of smile she once believed was meant only for her.Standing before Ethan was Sophie, a diamond ring sparkling on her finger. Her stomach twisted. She couldn't look away from the ring, from Ethan's smile, from the hand that should never be holding that ring.The caption beneath the post read, "She said yes. Our happy life starts now."“Whatever.” Her voice came out barely above a whisper. Her thumb moved before she could stop it, scrolling down the comments. She spotted the first few.“The ring is gorgeous.”“He definitely upgraded.”“Looks like he found the right one.”Every comment seemed to be on Ethan's side. No one asked where she had gone, not even a single person. She stared at the screen in silence.Just then, three sharp knocks echoed through the apartment, cutting through the silence.“Lena," Emma called.She remained silent.“If that's

CAUGHT IN THE CROWD
By the time they reached the arena, the parking lot was so full that they could barely find a place to park the car.Fans crowded the arena. Most of them were in vibrant blue-and-white jerseys bearing "HAYES" across the back.Lena's eyes scanned the crowd, searching for anyone wearing a Blizzard jersey, but there were only a few.As they made their way deeper into the arena, they spotted a tall, broad-shouldered man in the distance waving continuously at them. He looked just like Aiden. But as he drew closer, there was no longer any doubt. It was truly Aiden.His long hair peeked out beneath his cap, and he wore a vibrant blue jersey with the number fifteen printed across the back. “Look who we have here.” Aiden's grin widened as he pulled her into a hug."Emma actually did a good job convincing you."She rolled her eyes before giving him a playful punch on his shoulder. “Shut up.”Seconds later, the referee blew the whistle. The puck dropped as the players swung into action, sticks c

THE HEADLINE
“Wait… Noah Hayes.” A faint grin tugged at Noah's lips. He gave Emma a small nod, before turning and disappearing down the hallway.Her eyes shifted back to Lena. “What the fuck just happened? That was Noah Hayes, the famous superstar hockey player.” Emma trailed off for a moment before adding, “He’s literally the hottest dude ever. Have you seen his abs?”“Shut the fuck up.” She drew closer to Lena, lowering her voice to a whisper. “Was he asking you out?” Lena tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, avoiding Emma's eyes before letting out a quiet giggle. “Let's go, I'm so exhausted.”By the time Lena got home, exhaustion had settled in her bones. All she wanted was a hot shower and a good sleep. She took off her shoes, hung her keys on the hook beside the door, and turned on the light, chasing away the darkness.The chaos at the arena replayed in her mind as the reporters' voices echoed in her head, making her head throb. She slid into the bathroom, letting the hot shower wash

THE FALLOUT
“No, this can't be true.” Her eyes rose over the headline again, hoping the words would change, but they refused to. She read it again. There had to be a mistake.For a long moment, she simply stared at the screen. With trembling fingers, she tapped the post; the article loaded for what felt like an eternity.Lena wished she could look away, but her mind raced with hundreds of questions.After a few seconds, it appeared. She let out a small breath she didn't realize she was holding.There it was.Damn it.A picture of her and Noah at the arena, his arm wrapped around her waist. She never realized this would go this far—a national headline at that.Her finger drifted to the comment section before she could realize what she was doing. Her gaze darted from one comment to the next.“Lena Carter is so shameless.”“Another gold digger.”“This was the reason she broke up with the sports reporter.”“She's just there for Noah Hayes' fame and money.”Her stomach twisted, wishing the ground woul

NOW EVERYONE KNOWS
Noah swallowed the lump in his throat, pushing his tension down with it. “You could go now. I'll be right there.” The door slowly closed behind them, and the weight of what awaited him settled over him.“You have to face your fear, Noah.” He gave a slight nod, straightened his rumpled jacket, and headed for the door. Olivia followed him.Cameras flashed the moment he stepped into the press room. Reporters surged toward him, and his name echoed through the room.His security personnel followed closely, keeping the reporters from getting too close. They threw questions at him before he even reached the podium.“Is Lena Carter your girlfriend?”“Are you two in a secret relationship?”“Were you the reason she broke up with the sports reporter?”Noah looked out at the crowd. His eyes found Olivia standing beside the podium.For a moment, he forgot how to speak.He knew there was no turning back. The camera flashes lit up in front of him. He felt the weight of the decision pressing down on

A WAY OUT
Noah paced back and forth, each step heavier than the last, the glass of whiskey in his hand untouched.Olivia didn't say a word. She stood perfectly still, her gaze fixed on him. The worst part wasn't that she was staring; it was the silence. He knew the silence alone was dangerous.“Do you have any idea what you have just done?” Olivia said, finally breaking the silence. “I thought you were going to fix it, but instead, you only made things worse.”“I didn't know what to do in that moment; that was the only thing that came to mind.”Olivia let out a bitter laugh.“What the hell were you thinking? Do you think Lena Carter will stay quiet after hearing your statement?” She took a sharp step forward. “If Lena Carter comes out and tells the world that she isn't your girlfriend, we will all be screwed for life.”“What was I supposed to do in that situation? I was being pressured at that moment,” he pointed out. The rumor had already taken over the Internet. Denying it would only make thi
