Semua Bab My Fake Boyfriend Is a Single-Dad Hockey Star: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Sienna's POV“Miss Hart, if my wife ends up sitting next to the Hendersons, I will make sure every sponsor here knows exactly how incompetent this company is.”I forced a calm smile even as my stomach twisted into knots. “Mr. Calloway, I assure you table three is yours. I fixed it personally this time.”He glared at me like I’d personally ruined his night. “Then why is Henderson’s name still on the damn card next to it?”“Two minutes,” I said, already moving. “I’ve got it handled.”I swapped the cards in under one minute. No thank you, of course. That was the reality of event planning—you solved crisis after crisis with a smile, and if you did it right, no one ever noticed the girl desperately holding everything together with shaking hands and a prayer.I was still catching my breath when my PA appeared at my elbow again. “Miss Hart, the team captain just arrived and the press is going crazy at the entrance.”I looked up.Ethan Hayes strode into the ballroom like he owned the place, a

Sienna's POVI pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at the screen. The call had ended. Mason had hung up on me.“Unbelievable,” I muttered, shoving the phone into my bag. “You drop something like that and then just hang up? This better be worth my time or I swear I’m walking away from all of this.”Ten minutes later, my phone rang again. Mason.“Miss Hart, I apologize for the abrupt end to our conversation. Things are developing very quickly on our side. Please do not try to make your own way to the meeting. Photographers are already outside your apartment building.”I walked over to the window and peeked through the blinds, heart sinking. He was right. Three men with professional cameras were stationed near the entrance, pretending to be casual while clearly watching my building. A fourth guy had a video camera. Overnight, I had become public property.“I see them,” I said, my voice tight with frustration. “This is ridiculous. I’m not even a celebrity. Why are they so obsesse

Sienna's POV“Morning.”Ethan’s voice was flat and cold as I walked into the kitchen. He was already dressed in a dark hoodie and sweats, staring down at his phone while nursing a cup of black coffee. He didn’t even glance up when I entered.“Morning,” I replied awkwardly, hovering near the island. “I made some toast. Want some?”“No.”The silence stretched painfully.“So… how did you sleep?” I tried again.“Fine.”I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat across from him. “This is weird, right? Us living together like this?”Ethan finally looked up, expression completely closed off. “It’s temporary. Don’t make it more than it is.”Before I could respond, Lily’s voice echoed down the hallway.“Noooo! I don’t want the nanny to do my hair! Daddy, you do it!”Ethan sighed and stood up without another word. “I’ve got it.”Ten minutes later, I found Lily sitting on her bed in tears while Ethan struggled with the brush. I stepped in gently.“Hey, sweetie. Can I try? I used to braid my mom’s h

Sienna's POV“Why me?” I whispered to myself, standing outside Ethan’s hospital room. My hand hovered over the door handle for what felt like forever. The nurse had just smiled and told me he was asking for me, but none of it added up. We barely knew each other. The last real conversation we had, he made it clear I was just there for the contract, nothing more. My stomach felt tight. I took a deep breath, let it out slow, and finally pushed the door open quietly before I could change my mind.Ethan was awake, sitting up a bit in the hospital bed. He looked exhausted, his face pale under the fluorescent lights, and his left arm rested in a sling across his chest. The heart monitor beeped in a steady rhythm that filled the quiet room. For a long moment neither of us said anything. He just studied me with that same unreadable look he always had.“Where’s Lily?” he asked first, his voice sounding rough and tired.I closed the door softly behind me and took a few steps closer. “She finally

Ethan's POV“Perfect,” the coach said with a big smile.I didn’t realize my hand was still resting on Sienna’s waist until the words left her mouth. The room suddenly felt way too small. I pulled my hand back fast like I’d been burned and cleared my throat. “Yeah, good enough. We’re done here, right?”Sienna took a small step back, brushing her hands down her shirt. She wouldn’t look at me. Mason, on the other hand, looked like he’d just won the Stanley Cup. He was grinning ear to ear.“That was great,” Mason said. “For the first time since this whole fake engagement started, you two actually looked like a real couple. Natural. Comfortable. The cameras are going to eat that up.”The relationship coach nodded, writing something on her notepad. “Exactly. Genuine couples aren’t constantly trying to prove they’re in love. They just exist comfortably around each other. You two nailed that without even thinking about it. The chemistry is there whether you want to admit it or not.”I shook m
