The Quarterback's Redemption Novels & Stories

His eyes flew wide with disbelief shaking through him. I went on relentlessly, “The one I loved was the boy who held my hand so tight in that orphanage, swearing he could not live without me. The boy who even took my surname, Lucian Quinn. “And he died the second year he went back to the Gill family.” Kyle’s knees buckled. He sank in front of me, clutching my sleeve with trembling hands and spoke with a breaking voice, “Nadine, stop… Please stop. I will give it all up. I will go back right now and say I don’t want the inheritance; I don’t want the Gill’s name. I’ll be Lucian again. I’ll stay Lucian… please, won’t that be enough?”

What if my mind was only playing tricks on me? I heard heavy footsteps approach the door. Then the door knob turned, the door opened to reveal him. The man I had wronged so much that I deserved to burn in hell for all I had done. But somehow, I had been granted a second chance to undo everything I had done wrong. The relief was instant when I realised he was indeed standing in front of me. His dark hair sticking to his face like he had just had a shower. His expression set in a scowl as he regarded me. Must be because I just stood like an idiot and not saying anything.

He stepped beside me and looked again. “No name on the tag?” he asked. “No need.” We stood there for a while longer, not speaking, just breathing in the weight of what had been reclaimed. And somewhere deep in that moment, I realized something I hadn’t said aloud yet. Redemption was not a gift someone offered. It was not something handed down or given back. It was a choice. One you made for yourself, long after the noise had faded. Long after the audience had turned away. You chose it in the quiet. In the work. In the refusal to disappear.

Their characteristic was an average offense in terms of scoring, but an extremely strong defense that could effectively limit opponents' scoring, thus masking their own weaknesses. The Lightning's new quarterback, Mengtasi, was playing his first game. The fans in the stadium gave this rookie enthusiastic applause and high expectations. After all, once Asher graduated, it would likely be him carrying the Lightning on his shoulders. However, Mengtasi's performance in the first quarter was the perfect illustration of "the higher the hopes, the harder the fall."

my words came out shaky as I fight to keep the tears at bay. “I know it feels that way, but I promise you that you are still the same beautiful, strong and amazing Stephanie Malloy I’ve known since I was 6. Nothing I mean nothing can change that,” she reassured with a strong voice, causing me to smile slightly. “Now let’s get this show on the road” she said almost immediately as the driver arrived. The driver came down and rounded the corner to open the door. Sebastian Torez. Fuck those green eyes. “Miss Isa-” He started but stopped short as those deep emerald eyes fell on my face, recognition and confusion flickering through them. “ Miss Stephanie?” Comes the very confused voice that I was

"You have exactly three seconds after the snap to identify the trigger and make the adjustment. Are you going to keep staring at the grass, or are you going to move the line?" Dante looked up from the sheet, his dark eyes completely calm, focused, and unyielding. The heavy, suffocating pressure that had governed his entire career under his father's corporate shadow was entirely gone. He wasn't playing to protect a family trust anymore, and he wasn't running from a trap. He was just a quarterback, standing on a clean field, looking at a defensive scheme he already knew how to decode in his sleep. "I see the trigger," Dante said simply, his voice a low, level rumble that carried across the ent

We led from the first possession. Jaxon was different today. Not different from the second half of game one. Different from every other version of him I had seen. Loose in a way that had nothing to do with relaxation and everything to do with the specific freedom of a player who was not performing for anyone in the stands today. His father was four hundred miles away. The marketing representative was four hundred miles away. The carefully arranged expression of pride was four hundred miles away. He was just a quarterback playing football. I caught three passes in the first quarter alone. Not because the defense was soft. Because he was finding me before the defense finished adjusting, before

Shivers zap down my spine. His eyes never leave my face. "I want to be with you, and if I want that, it means that I have to be deserving of it. It means that I have to be completely honest with you. You have to know who I think I am, because sometimes, I feel so fucking confused about myself, about who I am. But the ugly parts of me are the certain parts of me that I am not confused about, because they are real. They happened, and I bear them with me like my cross wherever I go."

she said looking at Carlos waiting for him to lie. “Well the memory you have yes.” He said clearing his throat. “But that was something Marcus implanted into your mind so you turned into Hecta.’ He said shaking his head. “Elijah is alive, but he has been turned into a demon, I don’t think he is going to be someone we can save, but we can try if you want.” He said shaking his head. “You also have two sons, James and John who took the oath of an Angel, and they have been the ones that have been able to find you.” He said taking a deep breath. “Your sons remember you like it was yesterday that you were holding them and loving them.” “I wish I could remember everything now.” She said shaking her
