Team Free Will Novels & Stories

If she walked away, she wasn't just leaving a job; she was taking the team's life support with her, and Team Swift would likely be forced to declare bankruptcy within weeks. Despite Coach Lee standing there with bloodshot eyes, Feifei’s expression remained as cold as ice as she challenged him to show everyone the paperwork, claiming her contract had expired six months ago. Her friend Serena chimed in, telling the crowd that Feifei had been incredibly loyal by staying an extra half-year out of respect for her late boyfriend, Ethan. For a moment, the spectators seemed to agree that a rising star shouldn't be chained to a dying team forever just because of a past romance.

It was already being copied into captions and screenshots, passed around by people who needed it for their own fights. Freeda’s jaw tightened. “I didn’t write it for them.” “You wrote it for you,” Winnie said. “They’re just borrowing it.” Scott spoke softly from the window. “Do you want me to go?” Freeda looked up. “No.” The answer came too fast. She hated that it did. Scott didn’t react. He just nodded, like he understood that wanting someone nearby wasn’t the same as being owned. A new email slid in from the foundation administrator, a different name from the sponsor.

Jonathan said. “Exactly! I’d be crazy to leave this club,” Damien spoke up. The team’s ADC player, Jackey, also shared his thoughts. “Yeah, other clubs don’t allow players as much freedom as Team XS does. We are allowed to train however we like. Nobody cares. We can play whatever we want during matches and are given absolute freedom.” “Other clubs have targets on one’s rank increment each day. How exhausting is that?” he added. Right then, the Mid Solo, Stewart, also chipped in. “Exactly. Our boss is also very generous to us, the players. She gave me 500,000 on my birthday. Do other clubs do that?”

They quickly scurried away. Turning back to Alex, I squared my shoulders. “I don’t want to go to Dubai. Please.” His brows lifted. “Why not? It’s a free vacation. Most people would be thrilled.” “I just don’t want to go.” “That’s not a reason.” “I have friends here.” He smirked. “You’ll have friends there.” “No, I won’t! It wasn’t part of the contract!” My voice rose in frustration. He let out an exasperated sigh, clearly running out of patience. “What are you even talking about?”

I asked Leighton who the free lancers were and then he made it known to me that he once belonged to a dance crew called the Freelancers, and they twice competed at the World Dance Championship, but were twice knocked out before the main finals by the Invincibles. ‘I was the best dancer amongst the Freelancers but I broke out of the dance crew to become a member of the Prime simply because I wanted a team that could beat the Invincibles. But now I know why any team in the world could never defeat them, they were cheaters and they have been cheating all along, they will never be defeated,’ he said.

No theatrics. Far more effective than shouting. I’ve always hated that about him. “Shaw Carter is here under my roof,” he says quietly. “Under my supervision and my responsibility. I put my name to his placement.” “I’m aware—-” “I’m not finished,” he drawls firmly. “Whatever you think of the arrangement, whatever grievances you’ve decided to perform, it ends here and now. Are we clear?” I held his gaze for three seconds. Look away first. “Clear,” I say.

The way he looked at Charlie was full of disappointment, as if he were the one being abandoned. Megan's eyes were full of tears. She broke free from Jamie and grabbed my hands. "Ida, I really love Charlie! Please set him free and let us be together, okay? I swear I'll treat Nigel well. I'll never have children of my own! I'll treat Nigel like my own son!" I stood there like some unforgivable villainess. But… I wanted the divorce, too! I did not want to dig into what had happened during that one short month as I straightened up and looked at Charlie.
