~~ARIA~~

I walked into the performance office the next morning with a heavy head and a cup of strong coffee in my hand.

The weekend had given me some rest, but my mind was still spinning from everything.

I had just sat down at my desk when the door burst open.

Mr. Reynolds stormed in, followed by Dr. Timothy, the Chairman of the hospital affiliated with our team. Both men looked furious.

“Aria this isn't good!” Mr. Reynolds barked.

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   36~ HIS OTHER SIDE

    ~~WARD~~I left the villa before dawn, the sky still bruised with the last remnants of night. Aria’s words from yesterday still hadn't left my head.“Stop interfering in my life so much” it echoed in my head like a slap shot to the ribs. She wanted space and I felt it was the best I could give her, even if every instinct screamed at me to stay. After carrying her to bed last night and listening to her quiet sobs through the door, sleep had been impossible. So I did what I always did when the weight of everything pressed too hard, I went to work.Bennett Global Tower rose like a blade against the city skyline, all steel and glass, a monument to the empire I had built while pretending the hole in my chest didn’t exist. Most people thought I was just the hockey star who got lucky with investments. They had no idea. This company sports technology, venture capital, private security solutions, and international real estate holdings. I controlled billions. And right now, every resource I

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   35~ GIVE ME SPACE

    ~~ARIA~~The drive back to Ward’s villa was wrapped in stout silence. I stared out the window at the passing lights, my father’s cruel words still ringing in my ears like fresh wounds. Every insult, every reminder of how I had never been enough, how my mother had left because of me, all crashed over me again. By the time we pulled up to the villa, I felt exposed, and utterly drained.Ward killed the engine and came around to help me out, but I stepped away before he could touch me. I walked inside on my own, the grand space feeling both safe and suffocating at the same time.“Aria…” Ward started softly as he closed the door behind us, his voice gentle despite the obvious pain he was still carrying in his waist.“I want to be alone,” I cut in, my voice trembling but firm. I couldn’t look at him. Not right now. The consequence of everything my father, Lena, the break-in, Ward’s constant presence pulling me in directions I wasn’t ready for was too much.He tried again, stepping closer

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   34~ THEIR FIGHT

    ~~WARD~~The hallway felt too narrow as I guided Aria out of the office building, my arm still around her shoulders. Her father’s venomous words echoed behind us, but I refused to give him another second of my attention. Lena trailed close on Aria’s other side, her face a mix of shocked anger. I could feel the tension rolling off her.We stepped into the parking lot, heading toward my SUV. Aria was silent, tears still drying on her cheeks, and it took everything in me not to turn around and deal with her father properly.Before I could open the door for her, Lena suddenly grabbed Aria’s hands, pulling her slightly away from me.“Aria, come with me to my house,” Lena said urgently. “You can’t trust yourself with him right now. After everything with your dad… You need space from all this drama. Especially from Ward.”Irritation flared hot in my chest. I stepped forward and firmly smacked Lena’s hands off Aria’s arms, not hard enough to hurt but clear enough to make my point. “No,” I s

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   33~ HER FATHER

    ~~ARIA~~I hadn’t seen him in months. Maybe longer. The sight of him here, unannounced, sent a familiar wave of unease through me.“Aria,” he called out, his voice smooth but laced with that underlying disapproval I knew too well. He stepped inside without invitation, closing the door behind him. “I heard you were back at the facility since you didn't sleep at home last night. Word travels fast in certain circles.”Lena shifted uncomfortably beside me, but stayed quiet. I forced myself to stand straighter. “Dad. What are you doing here?”He ignored the question, walking further into the room as he owned it. Typical. Everything was always about him, his image, his reputation, and how my choices reflected on him. My mother had left when I was just a baby, unable to handle his constant criticism and emotional detachment. He had raised me alone, but it never felt like raising. It felt like it was enduring.“I came because I keep hearing disturbing things,” he continued, his tone drippin

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   32~ THE EMERGENCY

    ~~ARIA~~Not quite long after dinner and the peace at Ward’s villa didn’t last long when my phone rang, jolting me out of the quiet moment I had been sharing with a book in the living room. The number on the screen was from the team’s emergency line and my stomach dropped.I answered quickly. “Dr. Vance speaking.”The voice on the other end was urgent and I could tell it was one of the assistant coaches. “Dr Vance, we need you at the office right away. It’s urgent. Jake took a bad hit during optional drills. It’s his knee, and it looks worse than we thought. The swelling's already bad, and he’s in a lot of pain.”I was on my feet before he finished. “I am on my way. Keep him off it and ice it if you can.”Ward appeared in the doorway, his expression shifting from relaxed to concerned in an instant. “What’s going on?”“Emergency with one of the players, Jake. I have to go in.” I explained to him instantly.He didn’t argue, though I could see the reluctance in his eyes. His waist was

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   31~ AT HOME WITH HIM

    ~~ARIA ~~The silence after Ward’s declaration stretched between us like a taut wire. I stared at his hand covering mine on the dining table, large, warm, and surprisingly gentle despite the calluses from years of gripping hockey sticks. My instinct was to pull away, to rebuild the walls I had been desperately trying to maintain. But I didn’t. The fear from last night still clung to me like a shadow, and his steady presence made it feel just a little less suffocating.“Okay,” I whispered finally, the word tasting like surrender. “For now. But only until we know more.”Ward’s eyes softened with something that looked dangerously close to relief. He gave my hand one last squeeze before pulling back, wincing slightly as the movement tugged at his injured waist. “Good. Eat the rest of your breakfast. You barely touched it.”I forced down a few more bites under his watchful gaze, the scrambled eggs and fresh fruit settling warmly in my stomach. When I finished, he cleared the plates him

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   30~ YOU ARE STAYING FIRMLY

    ~~ARIA~~Sunlight filtered softly through the heavy curtains, pulling me from a surprisingly deep sleep. For a moment, I lay there in the large, unfamiliar bed, blinking at the elegant ceiling above me. My body felt a little less heavy than the night before like the terror had receded just enough

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   29~ HIS APARTMENT

    ~~WARD~~The SUV hummed smoothly through the streets, the city lights fading behind us as we headed toward my villa. My waist throbbed with every small shift in the seat, a reminder that I had pushed too hard at rehearsal. But I didn’t care. Aria was safe and that was all that mattered. I leaned

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   27~ TAKING HER HOME

    ~~ARIA~~The entire rink seemed to go quiet the moment my voice echoed out. Ward glided to a stop, turning toward me. For a split second, his eyes softened, then a small, tired smile tugged at the corner of his lips, the kind that always disarmed me more than I wanted to admit. “Are you worried ab

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Now He Begs for me   26~ WARD BENNETT

    ~~ARIA~~I sat at my desk in the performance office, the glow of my monitor casting harsh shadows across the cluttered surface. The same report I had been pretending to read for the last hour stared back at me, the words blurring into meaningless streaks of black on white. No matter how many times
