There was something deeply unsettling about signing a contract and immediately being told you couldn't tell your mother about it.

Maya stood there for a second after Holiday finished speaking, still holding the pen she'd signed away the next five months of her life with, trying to decide whether this qualified as the worst decision she'd ever made or merely the most expensive.

"No friends. No family. No exceptions."

The words lingered unpleasantly.

Not because she planned on announcing the arra

    “What are you doing to her?!”Both Maya and Devon's heads snapped towards the voice.Ethan stood at the door, wide-eyed and pissed at seeing the strange man pinning his sister helpless on the bed. The teenager’s chest heaved with immediate, blinding rage, his eyes darting from the torn fabric of Maya's shirt to Devon’s hands pinning her down.Before Maya could register it, Ethan had already taken two long strides into the room.He grabbed Devon by the back of his coat and hurled him off Maya. Then he drove his fist straight into the man's jaw with every ounce of momentum he had.Devon stumbled back against the dresser, his head snapping sideways from the impact. He slowly wiped a thin stream of crimson from his lower lip with the back of his hand and looked at the younger boy with a twisted, chilling grin.“You hit like a fucking bitch, boy,” Devon chuckled mockingly.He spat out blood onto the wooden floorboards and then lunged for Ethan.“Ethan!!!” Maya screamed as Devon's fist c

    “Missed me?”Devon flashed her a cruel smile.“No… please no,” Maya shook her head frantically, her voice trembling violently as she backed away on her hands and knees across the rug.“Did you miss me, Maya?” he asked again, his tone dripping with malice as he stalked toward her while she cowered on the floor.His broad, dark shadow loomed heavy over her shivering frame, completely blotting out the dying orange sunlight filtering through the hall.Maya screamed. Outside, thunder rumbled through the darkening evening sky, a sudden sharp flash of lightning striking through the thin glass of the windows and painting his pale, sharp face in cold, stark white light.She was fast as she scrambled to her feet and ran towards the stairs, every single nerve in her body screaming at her to reach the safety of the second floor. But Devon proved to be far faster. In three long, terrifying strides, he closed the distance between them. He grabbed her by her hair at the back of her head with a ro

  • Secretly Pucking The Hockey God.   The day Hunter isn't around.

    For once, Maya had an entire afternoon without Hunter hovering around her.Earlier that morning, Hunter had kissed her goodbye at the penthouse, promising he would take her out for a quiet, intimate dinner that evening the moment his mandatory Titans obligation wrapped up.A high-profile sponsors' luncheon followed by a closed-door team strategy meeting kept him tied to the arena for the whole day.When Hunter had hesitated at the door, lingering with his dark eyes searching her face as if reluctant to leave her out of his sight, Maya had gently pushed him out, laughing softly and insisting she was perfectly capable of handling herself for a few hours.She spent the afternoon in the quiet warmth of her family's apartment. Her mother was working a double shift at the hospital, and Ethan was stuck at school until late afternoon, leaving the house entirely to her.Maya lay stretched out on the plush living room sofa, wrapped in a soft knitted throw blanket, listening to the gentle, rhyt

    Hunter scoffed into the phone, his jaw setting like concrete."I'm not interested," Hunter said flatly.Before Victoria could get another manipulative word out, he tapped the red button, cutting off the line, and tossed the device onto the marble counter with a sharp, heavy clatter.Maya stood completely frozen beside him.She didn't ask a single question, and she didn't demand an explanation.Instead, a sudden, sharp pang of jealousy sliced right through her chest, taking her breath away.She knew exactly who Olivia was, and more importantly, what she was to Hunter.Olivia Rothschild was an internationally renowned, breathtaking A-list actress—and ironically, she had used to be one of Maya's absolute favorite celebrities until today.Months ago, back when Maya was still frantically begging Holiday for an exclusive interview and digging up every shred of research on the elusive Titans captain, she had uncovered the archives. She knew the whole history.Olivia was his ex. His high sch

    "I want you to attend Ethan's college hockey game," Maya whispered, her hands locked around Hunter's neck under the warm glow of the streetlamp.Hunter looked down at her, a slow, breathtaking smile spreading across his sharp features."That's your grand price, Adams?" he murmured, his voice thick with affection.Before she could answer, Hunter leaned down and captured her lips in a sweet, lingering kiss. Then another. And another, pressing warm, peppered kisses against her mouth, her cheeks, and her jawline until Maya let out a loud, ringing burst of laughter.She pushed playfully against his chest, her head tilting back as pure, uninhibited joy echoed down the quiet street.Hunter paused, a deep, genuine laugh escaping his own throat. He had never heard her laugh with such unrestricted freedom—no guarded PR walls, no hesitation, just bright, infectious happiness that hit him straight in the chest."You're ridiculous, Callum," Maya gasped, catching her breath while wiping a tear o

    Dinner was a warm, noisy affair, filled with the aroma of roasted chicken and fresh vegetables and Mrs Adams signature chicken Fajitas.Ethan spent the first twenty minutes asking Hunter technical questions about his power play strategies, which Hunter answered with surprising patience and genuine enthusiasm.As the meal wound down, Mrs. Adams set her fork down and looked across the table at Hunter. The quiet intensity in her eyes made the room fall silent."Hunter," Mrs. Adams began softly, her voice carrying the undeniable weight of a protective mother. "I'll be honest. When Maya first told me about you two, I didn't know what to think. I don't understand your world, and I don't care much for public fame."Maya held her breath, her fingers tightening around her napkin under the table."But watching you today," Mrs. Adams continued, her eyes shifting to Maya before returning to Hunter, "I see the way you look at my daughter. I don't pretend to understand how you two ended up togethe

    Maya stirred slowly to warmth pressed firmly against her back and an arm draped heavily across her waist beneath the blankets.For a few quiet seconds, she didn’t move.Hanger over effects. Her head felt heavy. Her thoughts slow and foggy beneath the lingering haze of alcohol while soft morning lig

    “Jessie,” Maya muttered without looking up, “if you came back just to judge me some more, I want you to know our friendship is becoming toxic.” A low laugh sounded beside her. It didn't sound like Jessie. Definitely not Jessie. Maya paused for a second too long, her brain slightly delayed in catc

    “Fuck Hunter Callum.” She said the second she sat down, before Jessie could even open her mouth. Jessie blinked at her. “Hello to you too.” “And fuck Chloe Miller.” She added, flagging down the bartender. “Especially Chloe Miller.” “Okay.” Jessie nodded slowly. “We’re doing this.” “Whiskey,” sh

    “Hunter Callum?” Someone gasped from the crowd.It couldn't be him right?Maya stared at him through the flashing club lights, her tequila-soaked brain trying and failing to properly process what the hell was happening.Then she frowned. “No.”The man standing in front of her raised a brow slightly
