LOGINEvelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)We were one mistake away from conceding the first goal.One mistake that could be made in first place.Brian swore under his breath.Coach Henry was already shouting instructions from the bench.“Hold your positions! Stop chasing the puck!”The players regrouped, but my gaze was fixed on Zack.He was breathing hard, his shoulders rising and falling beneath his jersey.He looked furious.But not because he made a mistake.His anger was directed at others – at the defenders who stopped him; at Northbridge for refusing to give him the opening he wanted.And perhaps at the fact that the play hadn't ended with everyone watching him score.If it were my past life, I would have spent the next break explaining how he could turn his mistake into an opportunity.I would have made him believe that he was still the centre of the game.But I wasn't that girl anymore.“Evelyn!” I looked at Brian’s dark face.“What’s the backup plan?” He asked grimly.I looked back at the
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“No matter how aggressive they come after you, don’t lose your cool, and don’t give them any unnecessary opening, especially you, Zack, and Daniel.” Coach Henry’s voice was stern and filled with stress.“You don’t worry, Coach. I will keep my cool,” Daniel assured Coach Henry in a serious tone.Zack didn’t say anything, just hummed after Daniel.Coach Henry wasn’t happy with his attitude, but the match was about to begin in ten minutes.I stayed behind Brian, listening to their conversation.Except for Zack, everyone was with the same enthusiasm as they were in the past life.For the next few more minutes, Coach Henry went through everything hurriedly, reminding them that the selectors were still there.And this can be their last chance.The referee's whistle echoed through the stadium, announcing the beginning of the final match.The crowd erupted.Thousands of spectators rose from their seats, waving banners and chanting the names of their favourite players.The air
Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)Heat rushed to my feet.Lying to my parents and to any of my family members wasn’t something that I ever did in my past life and certainly couldn’t do in this life.“Ye…..esss, Dad. I only admired him because of the match.” I stammered a little because of the embarrassment, shrinking my shoulders slightly.“She said that she has no romantic feelings for that boy, and it’s enough for us, Davis.” Mom scolded Dad, but I could feel relief in her tone.I looked at my parents and took a deep breath.Judging by the way Dad avoided my eyes, he had no intention of revealing that information either.I swallowed the questions crowding my mind.If they didn't want to tell me, forcing them wouldn't help.Mom looked at me with a serious gaze.“I am glad that you don’t have any feelings for that boy, Evely.” Mom said in a very serious tone.I stared at her blankly; my attention was completely on her.“We have some business arrangements with that family, and yes, that’s wh
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“Tomorrow is the big day for your team, huh?” Dad asked me, his tone casual.I bobbed my head while chewing the steak.“Oh, come on! It’s just another match. Her big day is the next. She is going to join the Raven Club.” Mom remarked with a wide smile.They were still excited about my internship.My family wasn’t a cold type, but with our parents always busy with work and social life, we mostly shared a meal or two in the whole month.It had always been Athena who took care of me like a parent figureThis was what happened in the past life.“It’s just an internship, Mom. Yeah. It’s one of the biggest and most successful clubs, and yes, my days will be going to be one hell in the coming future, and yes…. I am still excited.” I grinned widely like a fool.They shared a look and then laughed.“You are still the same, Eve. Our careless and still adorable girl,” Mom said teasingly.I pouted, but they laughed again.Athena wasn’t at home because she was out with Theo for din
Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)My body froze.My mind was made up about ruining Zack and building my career, but my body still remembered every second of abuse that I endured in my past life.“Don’t come closer to me,” I screamed, taking two steps backward in panic.My scream startled Zack, though.His eyes widened in disbelief.I was shaking badly, and the fear in my eyes was so raw that everyone around us stopped.“Stay away from me, Zack,” I screamed again, my legs now trembling hard.“Eve…. Calm down…. I….. I didn’t mean to… to.”“To what?” I looked at Cathy, and tears filled my eyes instantly.She was almost running in our direction, her face flushing red because of the anger.For a second, I thought that she would lunge at Zack, but she approached me.I threw myself into his embrace and she held me tightly against her chest.My face was now buried in the crook of her neck.“She told you again and again not to approach her, Zack. Why can’t you understand the plain English?” Cathy ye
Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)Kaelen stared at me for a few seconds before glancing down at his hands.“Is that supposed to be another flaw in my game?” he asked, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.“Perhaps.” I shrugged innocently.“Or perhaps I am simply curious.” I blinked innocently, but the amusement increased in his gaze.“Curious enough to study how I hold my hockey stick?” He tilted his head slightly, and that slight curve at the corner of his mouth almost made my heart skip a beat.He was already devilishly handsome, and that simple curve was killing.“Curious enough to know why you didn’t take advantage of this?” I corrected him, lifting my chin.“You are still the biggest mystery for the opposing team strategist, Mr. Blackthorne.” His lips twitched, getting the provocation and teasing in my tone.“Please continue, Ms. Croft,” he said calmly, but I narrowed my eyes.So, now the great and almighty Kaelen Blackthorne was getting back at me, huh?I picked up my cup, took a si
