The Star Player Is Mine.

Nadia's POV. What the fuck!My hands ran to my chest as I suddenly became self-conscious. I was a girl after all, and he stood in front of me, his eyes visiting every corner of my body."How… how's this even possible?" he mouthed, more to himself than to me, as he kept on ogling.I wrapped my arms around my body as my chest tightened some more.My cover… it was blown.Was he going to rat me out?Tell the coach and the others?If he did, then…My dad's treatment… he wouldn't be able to get treated.His life…No!"Please," I shrieked, stepping back as I felt overwhelmed by his gaze.His gray-bluish eyes gleamed as he looked at me, and I found myself stumbling back, his scent of citrus invading my nostrils."What the heck are you doing?Playing ice hockey?Dressed like a freaking dude?" he scoffed as he grew closer."Step back," I charged. "Please, I beg you, stay back," I said more slowly as I stretched out my hand, my body still moving back."Okay then," he stepped back, his h

Jeremy's POV. She looked so tender and weak, even under the layers of jersey she wore. Her body still moved just like a lady's, even though she stiffened her muscles just to seem tough. How the fuck did I believe she was a guy in the first place? Maybe because she wore a wig. Maybe it was the ass-tight wrap she used to bond her boobs and the oversized jersey she used to flatten her curve. Whatever it was, it had worked fucking wonders. And now, I felt the need to protect her, the undying urge to keep her safe from whatever made her step into a nurse locker as a human. Even though I wanted to leave the arena, I found myself standing by the garage instead, waiting for her. My jaw clenched the second I saw Ruben walking out of the arena, smirking like the complete bastard that he was, his jerk-ass friends trailing behind him. I walked, then got into the car and drove away, and it kicked me. Something wasn’t right—I could feel it crawling beneath my skin. Ruben smiled t

Nadia's POV. "C'mon now, Dad, it's dinner time. You and Jeremy could leave your banter for later."The masculine voice said as he reached the table."You must be the girl Jeremy sneaked into the house last night," the extremely muscular man said, extending his hand for a handshake."Umm..." I mumbled, my gaze on his hand."Sorry... My bad, I meant to say, you're Jeremy's girlfriend, right?"He rephrased, and I took his hand."Nadia, Nadia Smith."I introduced myself as we shook hands."I'm Silas DeLuca, Jeremy's big brother." He smirked, caressing my hand, and I shifted with unease.Withdrawing my hand, I cleared my throat, the air becoming more and more suffocating."Dinner is served, can we eat now?"Jeremy dived into his meal of mashed potatoes, veggies and steaks, and I could sense he was pissed.We ate in silence, my every movement measured, as I was witty enough to know that both sons and father were not on the best of terms."So Nadia, what do you do?" Silas said, cutti

Nadia's POV. This was it.I was sitting in his car that was parked in front of the Deluca mansion.I was going to meet his father again, but this time, as his ultimate ruin.But why did he ask to see me though?I guess I made a lot of impact during our last meeting."Are you ready?" Jeremy asked as he opened the door to my side of the car."Umm, yeah..."I mumbled with a nod.I was wearing a denim dress.Of course, I wasn’t the one who got it—Jeremy did.It would’ve taken a year of dancing on TikTok before I could’ve been able to afford the incredibly expensive blue corset dress."Let’s go in then..." I said, my eyes narrowed at his body posture."Yeah, before that, I warn you that my brother and his girlfriend are also here for lunch."He said, scratching his scalp.The fuck?I hadn’t forgotten the verbal war I and his arrogant brother had the other day, now his girlfriend?"I will be right beside you so don’t worry, just try not to get into an argument with his girlfriend.

Nadia's POV. Did I reject the job? No.Did Miranda's threats make me scared?No.Did I give a single fuck about her lousy threats? Still no.Did I resume work the next Monday?Absolutely yes.Mom said it was a bizarre idea when I told her, but after giving some minutes to think about it, she totally agreed to my plan: get into the Deluca Empire, get to find out secrets about Mr. Albert Deluca, and then ruin him, slowly and steadily, until there was nothing left for him to fall back onto.It was that easy... Well, I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was in for it."I haven't seen you for up to a month. Your mum keeps making excuses.The last time she said you traveled to buy curly flowers.Really? Curly flowers?"I glanced at the girl talking but quickly averted my gaze."And now I hear out of nowhere that you have got a job in the Deluca Empire.Smack me by the face.What the hell is going on, Nadia?"Steph, my best friend, queried as she watched me do my makeup.It had been so lo
