I closed my eyes and wished things were just different When I opened them back, it was already evening time, and beside me were some food with medicine, and then as if he had been watching me through the window, he came in immediately I was up “The doctor said you fractured your leg, so you can’t play for now” He told me plainly, i didn’t even know how to react, then I said something else “Are you in trouble with the officials” He didn’t expected it, infact it took him off guard, cause no human un their right senses would ever take it easy, the fact that they might never poay on the ice again, theh might never talk it easy that their dream might probably becrushed, they’d even blame the fuck

**Chapter 191: Mentorship** Brooks The young player’s name was Marcus. Eighteen, fresh out of juniors, eyes carrying the kind of quiet desperation I recognized too well. He stood by my truck in the emptying parking lot, twisting his stick tape between nervous fingers while the arena lights hummed overhead.

"I doubt it. I can easily make you fall for me and just as easily break your heart." "Wanna bet?" Cleo asked, her eyes twinkling. "I'm listening." "Let's see... Whoever falls in love with the other before the hotel is completed has to admit it publicly on live TV and quit playing and their favorite hobby for a...year. Deal?" "Deal!... Get ready to be played Miss Reynolds." "On the contrary, you're about to be played, Mr. Simmons. Played real good." She said shaking my hand. I smiled. Let the games... BEGIN! T B C

A bloody battle transpires on the fuming stage. Player No.6 is in the lead of the fierce battle and anyone can see that he have the most chance to win the game. The sly player smirks at his opponent who is wiping the blood off the corner of his lips. He has given a big blow at the other's skull which makes his vision blurry and faint.

Leon exclaimed while hugging Claire's body tightly. "Who is he?" Leon asked suddenly. His face was full of suspicion, he then winced because his leg must have been bruised or maybe sprained because he was hit by a fairly large stone. Claire just prayed; hoping Leon's leg doesn't crack. They need Leon's legs to function properly for the next levels which might just get even more crazy. "Leon, this is John. He is also a player who is trapped in this park. Like I said, Leon. There are other players in this game. We don't know how many," said Claire.

Tobi took a step forward. “Imagine this people calling Andrea a mistress because of your fucking selfishness.” He said, then dragged me away from him.

Anna teases me and I laugh. "You know it's not like that. I'm just confused. On one hand there's Tyler who keeps giving me mixed signals. I don't even know where I stand with him at this point and then there's Jace who's asking me to be his girlfriend" I groan. "I think you should just be patient with Tyler,who knows he might feel the same way for you" Anna tells me while Tiffany advises me to move on and stop wasting my time hoping on Tyler. "You know one thing about Players? They never ever change no matter how hard you try. There's this saying. What is it again?" She puts her finger on her jaw as if thinking about something,"Yeah,once a player,always a player" she finishes.

Siguro ngayon lang nila narinig ang 'apilyedo' ko.

Carson whispered and winked while relaxing back on his chair. No doubt he was a player, he also didn't believe in love like people usually say. And most girls fall at his feet because he was handsome, rich, and hot. And there was another player of the year, his best friend, who is also his partner in crime. “Hey, what do you intend to do today? There is this new girl I saw at the club. Damn! She is fucking hot.” Owen praised, while demonstrating her figure with his hand, and Carson chuckled.

The reporters and journalists too stood up, approaching Aaron. "Someone will get angry if I procrastinate further," Aaron mysteriously glanced at everyone and waved his phone. "It's Victoria Ford, right?" "Yeah, it must be her." "She's quite a big shot herself. They look compatible together." "I agree." "Are you going to leave your player ways behind, Mr Atkinson?" "Pfft. We should note down the company he works in. We need journalists like him." I pointed at the television screen which featured the guy. One brave man managed to ask, hustling in a large crowd. Aaron, who was about to leave suddenly turned around and arched a brow.
