11: Job

Riley’s PovIt was supposed to be a regular day. Emphasis on supposed to be. But the moment I walked into the office and saw Leo Carter—Leo freaking Carter—leaning against the reception desk like he owned the building, I knew something was up.He looked too relaxed. Too smug. Too much.“Morning, sunshine,” he said, handing a coffee to the receptionist like he was running for mayor.“What are you doing here?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.He turned, flashing that heart-stopping smile. “Campaign work. Mutual sponsor. PR needs. You know how it goes.”“Jax didn’t mention anything about this.”Leo grinned. “Guess he forgot to loop you in. Shame.”I crossed my arms. “You sure you’re not just here to stir things up?”“I live to stir things up,” he winked, then added more seriously, “But no. I’ve got real work to do. And speaking of real work…”He stepped closer. So close that the scent of his perfume travelled up my nostrils.God, he smelled so good. So good that I almost closed my eyes to rev

12: A new life

Riley’s POVI knew I was screwed the moment the elevator doors refused to close fast enough.“Hold,” I whispered, jabbing the button like it owed me money. “Come on, come on—”The digital clock on my phone blinked mockingly: 11:08 AM.I was eight minutes late to a meeting Jax had very specifically told me started “at eleven sharp. Not a minute later.”Not “around eleven.” Not “give or take a few.”Eleven sharp.Of course, the moment the doors dinged open on the top floor, I burst out like a woman running away from a crime scene. However, this time, I was going into one.“Sorry!” I called breathlessly as I slipped into the glass conference room.Everyone turned to look at me. Jax included.He didn’t say anything at first. Just stared. Slowly. Like he was mentally lighting me on fire.The conference room was packed with sponsors, agents and brand managers.“Nice of you to join us,” Jax said flatly, his voice devoid of emotion. “The meeting started ten minutes ago.”I took my seat at the

13: Leo

Riley’s povWe stepped out of the restaurant, the night air cool and buzzing with traffic. Leo walked a little ahead of me, jacket slung over one shoulder, humming something jazz-like under his breath.I should’ve felt good. Relieved. Hopeful. Instead, my gut was twisting. And it was not because of the wine.“Just think about it. No pressure,” his voice was low and smooth as he slid the revised proposal toward me as we approached his car.I tucked the folder tighter under my arm. “You make it sound way too easy.”“Because it is,” he chuckled. “You just have to say yes.”Just as we reached the curb, a voice echoed through the air.

14: You haven't seen my man

Riley’s POVI kept walking. Limping, technically, but I refused to let the ache win. My pride was doing most of the work now, dragging me forward one painful step at a time.Behind me, Leo’s car purred softly, trailing at a crawl like the world’s most stubborn chauffeur.“Riley,” he called out again. “Just let me drive you.”I didn’t answer but he didn’t leave.I turned down the next road, hoping that would stop him, but he turned too.Oh my god.“Do you just… not take hints?” I snapped, spinning around, hands flung wide. “I said I didn’t want a ride.&rdqu

15: Clause 14B

Jax’s POVThe numbers in front of me blurred out.I’d been staring at the performance analytics for the past forty-five minutes, but not a single figure stuck to my head. I wasn’t even reading anymore—just cycling through tabs for the sake of pretending I was still in control.Then Caleb knocked once and let himself in.He didn’t wait to be invited. Didn’t hesitate, so I knew he wasn’t coming to give me a friendly update. This was gossip. I leaned back in my chair, laced my fingers together, and waited for him to get to the point.“You know,” he said, dragging the words out like he enjoyed them too much, “I ran into Riley last night.”

16: Game

Jax’s POVThe arena buzzed with noise—voices, footsteps, cameras clicking, lights flashing. My head was locked in. Zoned in. I had my racket in hand, sweatband already tight around my wrist, and the stress of the game was building up in my veins.Leo was across the net, bouncing on his heels, cocky as ever. I didn’t look at him. Didn't need to. I could already feel the smirk on his face. He thought he was going to win.Typical Leo.But he wasn’t. Not today.I bounced the ball in my hand, letting the rhythm calm me, ignoring the announcer’s voice echoing over the stadium speakers. Every eye in the arena was glued to us—every seat filled; the air thick with anticipation.The tension in my shoulders felt good. Familiar. I liked it that way—controlled and predictable.My phone started ringing. I glanced toward the bench where Riley sat, her posture stiff, eyes flicking to the screen lighting up beside her. She leaned forward, hesitated, then pressed the silent button.I narrowed my eyes.

17: Game 2

Jax’s POVRiley’s palms slowly dropped from my cheeks. “You don’t have to do this, you don’t have to play the game,” she whispered. “You can go if you need to. Go be with her.”I shook my head. “It wouldn’t make a difference.”She looked confused—so I said it again, this time like I meant it.“I can’t save her. I couldn’t when I was a kid, and I sure as hell can’t now.” I took a breath. It still felt tight in my chest. “But this? This game? I can try to win.”She opened her mouth, probably to say something kind. But there was nothing kind about this.I turned and walked out onto th

18: Trouble in paradise

Riley’s POVI didn’t know how long we stayed like that—Jax’s weight resting against me, his arms slack at his sides, and his breath slowly steadying against my shoulder. I didn’t dare move. Not until I felt him shift, pulling back just enough to look at me.He didn’t say anything. Neither did I.I wasn’t sure if he was okay. I wasn’t sure of anything. But when he finally stepped away, I let him go without a word. He didn’t glance back as he moved down the hall, shoulders squared but head low, like he was carrying something too heavy to hold upright.I followed close behind him, he didn’t notice. I considered slipping away, but before I could retreat, he whirled around and slammed his racket against the bench. The crack echoe

19: Trouble smells

Jax’s POVI shut the door before she could enter, stormed to my desk, yanked my phone from my pocket and started scrolling through the latest headlines.The words on my screen only fueled my already growing anger. “Did Jax Maddox Lose Focus Over a Love Triangle?” “Maddox’s Downfall: Assistant Drama Spells Trouble for Tennis Star.”Each headline was more ridiculous than the last. Each one drips with speculation about my personal life, my game, and the so-called “love triangle” between me, Riley, and Leo.My jaw tightened as I flipped through the articles. Pictures of me and Riley at the Black Tie Dinner. Photos of Leo and Riley at the PR event. Blown up, edited to look like some damn romantic drama. And Andrew’s name slapped all over it. Of course it was him—Andrew Porter, an idiot ex.I tossed my phone onto the desk, trying to control my breathing. Just when I thought the week couldn’t get worse.A knock sounded at the door, and I didn’t bother answering. Riley stepped in anyway, he

20: Blackmale

Riley’s povI was half-convinced my phone was possessed. The screen lit up on my desk, and Andrew’s name flashed. I considered letting it ring out, but something in me knew better. Ignoring him wouldn’t make him go away.With a deep breath, I snatched the phone and picked up. “What do you want?”He laughed, the sound scraping against my nerves like nails on glass. “That’s a little rude of you, don’t you think?”“I’m not in the mood for your games,” I snapped.“Relax,” he drawled, his tone smug. “I just wanted to check on you. You’ve been getting a lot of heat lately. Almost like someone’s been stirring the pot.”
