THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Fourth Signature
At exactly 2:15 p.m., Amelia stood outside the old sports pavilion, staring at the weathered structure that had somehow become the center of everyone's secrets.The pavilion had once been part of the university's main sporting complex. Now it sat largely abandoned, marked by faded signage, dusty windows, and an overgrown stone pathway leading to the entrance.Daniel stood beside her, checking his phone screen for the third time in five minutes. Damon stood a few paces away, leaning casually against the hood of his car."Has Samuel called yet?" Amelia asked softly.Daniel shook his head. "Not since this morning.""Are you sure this is where he wants us to meet?""Yes."Damon glanced up toward the building. "I still don't understand why we're meeting out here."Daniel slipped his phone back into his coat pocket. "Your father and Samuel spent a lot of time here when they were students."Damon looked over at him in surprise. "My father?""Yes. The old training fields were right behind thi
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Promise Between Fathers
Damon had never heard his father's name spoken with that kind of hesitation.Thomas Hayes.His father had always been a private, steadfast man. He wasn't overly affectionate, but he had never been cruel. He worked long hours, expected strict discipline, and believed that life's complications were best handled quietly and independently.He rarely, if ever, discussed his younger years.Whenever Damon had asked about his childhood or his university days, Thomas usually stuck to the same rehearsed talking points: his first entry-level accounting job, the early struggles of marriage, and how he had briefly considered pursuing professional hockey before choosing a more stable career path.There had never, not once, been a mention of a man named Samuel.Now Daniel Bennett was sitting across from him in the valley house, claiming that his father had been best friends with a man whose mysterious disappearance had fractured an entire generation.Damon looked down at the old photograph again.Sa
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Photograph Daniel Couldn't Explain Explain
Amelia stared at the photograph until the faces began to blur into the harsh light of her phone screen.Her father.Coach Reed.And the man everyone had spent twenty years believing was dead: Samuel Bennett.Taken three days ago.Not some distant, forgotten moment buried beneath decades of yellowed legal archives, but three days ago.Her fingers tightened around the casing of her phone until her knuckles turned white."Damon?" she whispered."I'm here," his voice came back instantly over the line."Are you still outside the rink?""Yes. What's happened?"She swallowed hard, trying to keep the panic out of her voice. "I received a photograph.""What photograph?""Samuel."There was a brief, sharp silence on the other end. "Where?""Outside the university athletic entrance."Damon straightened up. "Send it to me right now."She forwarded the image file. A few seconds passed, filled only with the faint sound of his breathing."Amelia... are you completely sure that's Samuel?""Grace conf
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Brother Who Never Died
Daniel didn't move.For several seconds, he simply stared at Grace as though she had spoken in a language he no longer understood.Then he lowered his phone."Say that again."Grace stood near the living-room window, her arms folded tightly across her chest. The light from the street outside fell across her face, revealing the exhaustion she had been trying so hard to hide."Daniel—""No." His voice cracked. "You said someone helped you leave the hospital. You said it was my brother."Grace looked at Amelia.Amelia had never seen her father look this frightened. Angry, yes. Frustrated, certainly. But this was different. His expression carried the weight of something he had spent years trying to bury."Which brother?" he demanded.Grace swallowed."Samuel."Daniel took a step backward."Samuel is dead.""I know what you were told.""Don't do that." His voice rose. "Don't stand there and tell me you know what I was told. I buried that man in my mind twenty years ago.""You didn't bury h
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Night Everything Changed
Amelia couldn't stop looking at the photograph.She had zoomed in so many times that the digital image had become pixelated and blurry, but the faces remained unmistakable under the harsh lighting: Damon, pale on the gurney; Elizabeth, hovering nearby; Richard, standing commanding in the frame; and her mother, Grace Bennett, standing quietly near the doorway.The date stamp in the lower corner was crystal clear.October 14th, three years ago.There was no mistake. Her mother had been inside Westbridge Memorial Hospital on the exact night Damon had been admitted with a severe concussion. The same woman who had claimed she spent decades isolated in fear, unable to return to campus, had been physically present during one of the most critical nights of Damon's life.Amelia’s fingers trembled as she pulled up Grace’s contact card. She hit call.Ring.Ring.Ring.No answer."Please pick up," Amelia whispered into the dark room.She dialed a second time. On the fourth ring, the line clicked
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Woman Who Knew Everything
Damon didn't remember the drive back.He remembered Amelia's voice. He remembered the raw, fractured way she had said his mother knew everything. And he remembered the sickening, heavy silence that had followed.Everything else was a disjointed blur of rain-slicked traffic lights, impatient horns, and his own thoughts racing faster than his foot could press down on the accelerator.Elizabeth knew.His mother had known about Amelia's family all along. She had known about Richard's toxic obsession, the fraudulent guardianship papers, and the decades of engineered silence—and she had kept it buried.He pulled his car into the restaurant parking lot, cutting the engine before it had even finished cycling down. His phone vibrated instantly against his thigh.> AMELIA: Where are you?> DAMON: Outside. Coming in now.> He shoved the door open, pushing through the glass entrance of the private dining room.Daniel was standing near the reception partition, his face grim. Elizabeth sat at the
