Blackmailed Into Dating My Ex’s Hockey Rival Novels & Stories

"He has dragged his feet on the wedding for a year. A year, Camille. Every time I bring up a date, it is the season, or the cup, or the sponsors. And then she shows up, and what does he do? He goes back to his pack. Because she went missing." "He was worried about a photographer on his team's watch. It is protection." She said, "Protection." I laughed, high and ugly. "Do you know what people are saying? My fiancé put his ex-mate in his own home. The woman he rejected, the woman he supposedly never thought about, is sleeping in his bed, and I am the last to know. Do you understand the shame of that?" "Eva..."

"And she'll do as she's told. She's been running wild for too long. It's time she learned her place." I press myself against the wall, my heart pounding so loud I'm sure they can hear it. Through the crack in the door, I can see my father sitting at his desk, his back to me. Across from him is a man I don't recognize, silver hair, expensive suit, a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "And the hockey player?" the man asks. "The one she claims to be dating?" My stomach drops. "Ryder Hayes." My father says the name like it's a curse. "A convenient distraction. Nothing more."

Sienna thought she'd gotten away with the perfect crime but she was wrong. After stealing a mysterious ring from a billionaire she'd met for only one night, she finds herself dragged into a marriage she never agreed to want. Julian Brentwood has one rule.. no one steals from him and walks away and yet instead of sending her to prison, he puts a wedding ring on her finger. She stole his ring but he might end up stealing her heart.

“I'm tired of being the girl who does everything to please a man. I'm done shrinking myself just to make your life easier. I'm tired of watching you prioritize everyone else's feelings above mine. You care so much about what your friends think. Your teammates. Even the girls on campus that you shouldn't have any business with. But in all of that, where does that leave me?” His mouth opened slightly to defend himself, but he was too stunned to speak. “I'm tired of you turning on me everytime there is a problem,” I pressed on. “All I ever wanted was for you to stand up for me when your friends mock me to my face! I spent four years letting you hide me, all for what? Just so you can throw me aw

"We date for as long as I’m still trending. The exact second a new scandal takes over, the exact moment everyone gets bored of that leaked audio and goes back to minding their own business, we quietly end it." Rhett let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. "That's a terrible clause, Riley. Bad news travels fast on this campus, but it leaves a stain that takes weeks to scrub out. It doesn't just vanish overnight. Secondly, I’m the varsity hockey captain. If I start dating someone and we break up four days later because a freshman got caught cheating on an exam, people are going to smell a rat. It ruins the optics." I blinked, hating how logical he was being.

I tightened my grip on my hockey stick while I skated back into position, my mind returning to the same thoughts that had haunted me since last night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Victor standing in his study, admitting without the slightest remorse that he had killed Daniel and taken the recording. He had said it so casually, as though he were talking about something ordinary like the weather. How the hell was I supposed to concentrate after that? The final game of the season was fast approaching, and professional scouts would be watching. This was the opportunity I had worked for years. My chance to prove myself, and earn a place in professional hockey.

“Who's the asshole?” I drew a deep breath. “Someone I loved. Someone who turned out to be my mate. He… rejected me and humiliated me. But what was even worse, he didn't let me accept his rejection…” A humorless laugh slipped free. “He's one of the reasons I'm here, in Winterbourne instead of Evermore.” Sora studied me for a moment, then grabbed my hands in hers, and announced smugly, “Then I guess I should thank him for making you choose the better college. And now, you'd better tell me, where is that piece of shit, and when do we end him?”

yeah" I responded, Lisa released a sigh of relief just then a notification dropped from my I*******m, I didn't hang up the call I just tapped on the notification to check what it was. My heart dropped when I saw the post on the school's I*******m page, it was a photo of me and.... My father, my father who disappeared years ago, under the photo it was boldly written "disgraced hockey coach who accepted bribery and stole from the teams fund, beside him is his daughter Scarlett Daveson, currently known as Scarlett Winters."

“You’re already here. So We can talk.” She smiled slightly, and we talked for a while. After some time, she finally left. I lay back on my bed, hoping to get some rest, when my phone buzzed. I picked it up. It was a message from Oliver, a friend from high school who had relocated and was now a hockey player in another college. Oliver: Hey. I hope you’ll be participating in the fourth hockey competition coming up. “A competition?” I muttered to myself, staring at the screen.

But she was beginning to feel a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. “From that night. From a CCTV camera. I don’t know how, I didn’t see any cameras.” “And now Freddie has the tape?” she asked, piecing it together. Ledger nodded stiffly. “He showed up at the rink. He told me to break up with her within three days or the video goes public.” Alison’s mouth parted slightly. “He blackmailed you?” Ledger buried his head into his hands. “Yeah.” She was silent again, and then she exhaled, pinching the bridge of her nose.
