Heated Rivalry: Passion On Ice
“How dare you disgrace the family?” Richard Donovan’s voice was as sharp as his grasp on little Samantha's arm.
At twelve years old, Samantha Donovan realized one thing, some dreams aren't made for girls.
Samantha Donovan gets exiled for six years, because she dared to play hockey in her twin brother's place.
Not until a phone call changes everything, her twin brother is brutally injured, and Richard has a condition.
She gets to play again, but in disguise of her brother, the very reason he exiled her.
She has to take Adrian Volkov's place by any means possible.
Adrian Volkov was the son of her father's number one enemy.
The real danger was not in hiding her identity, but having Adrian Volkov, the insanely hot captain and guy she's supposed to beat as a roommate.
He is cold, arrogant, calculative and very suspicious of Samantha.
Each encounter brings them dangerously close together, heat and passion sparks on and off the rink.
Samantha fears Adrian finding her secret, and their family feud was another factor she has to consider.

Chapter: Chapter 124Sharon's POVMy first day of school wasn't so bad. No one really noticed me. They were too busy talking about Samuel.Gosh, I can't get used to calling her by her real name. If only I were here when she left.It was her exit that brought me back after all. The scandal she pulled.Aside from Zeke, I did not have any run-in with anyone.I let out a satisfying sigh. Off to my room now. To have a relieving bath and a nice long sleep.When I got to the room, I kicked off my boots. I love boots on my uniform the most. It gives me this pretty rich appearance.It didn't take a minute before I was completely naked. I grabbed the towel from the hook. I was already heading for the bathroom when I saw a body.It kept rising and falling in a breathing motion.I tilted my head to be sure I was seeing the right image. A leg stuck out from underneath the sheet.From the look of it. It was a feminine leg. I rolled my eyes in frustration.Here I was, thinking of enjoying the freedom of having a room to

Chapter: Chapter 123Samantha's POV.I cried as I noticed that we were a few minutes away from the school building."Mom, I changed my mind. I don't want to go to school.""Don't give me that, Sammy. I already called Principal Caldwell, and he has said we can come to talk."I puffed out my mouth and blew air against the handful of hair that covered my face. I hate the way my hair grows fast. And I was feeling nauseous all of a sudden."Can I at least wait in the car? I can't resume tomorrow," I begged.The thought of people staring at me as I walk through the halls. I don't think I can bear it.He hasn't even agreed to accept you yet. We just want to give it a shot.Yet, my luggage was in the trunk of the car, with the hope that the school would admit me as a normal student.I have caused a lot of chaos for them. It would be a miracle if I were admitted here.Not only that, I don't have the mind to face anyone, and by anyone, I meant Adrian in particular.The courage in the morning when I was preparing ha

Chapter: Chapter 122Adrian's POVI've been removed from the position of captain of the school's hockey team. That's my punishment for keeping Sammy's secret.According to Coach Stanley, I have been given the honours to pick a new captain. It won't be put to a vote. Whoever I pick becomes the captain automatically.Without thinking, I already know who I'd pick, to be honest. I was already tired of this hockey thing. And dad made me tired.The fact that he doesn't care about my well-being as long as I get to play and keep the family name on. He doesn't care what happens to me.I was in my room, getting ready to go do what they've been expecting me to do for the past week.Which is to announce the captain. I don't mind picking the new captain. It was just humiliating to do so.After getting kicked out like that.I believe it was part of Coach Stanley's punishment. He was hurt that I couldn't even trust him with Sammy's secret.To be honest, what could I have done? Even if she didn't beg me to keep it a secr

Chapter: Chapter 121Sharon's POVNo one has any idea what I went through after I got suspended from school. Attacking Jenny like that was not planned.I felt humiliated and really angry that Zeke would treat me like that; he knew how much I loved him. If he were seeing someone new. I should have at least gotten a heads-up.To think that I gave up my future in Paris for him! Mom asked over and over again if I was making the right call.I might not have wanted a serious relationship with him in the years past. But he knew how fond of him I was.It devastated me. I tried and tried to make him understand, but he just wouldn't have it.My mom would come into my room every day, a sad look in her eyes, she hated what I was turning into. But the truth is, I wasn't turning into anything. I was just empty on the inside."I think it's time you left the country." She had told me."A change of scenery would do a world of good for you."She kept on standing there waiting for a response. I rarely speak in the house. Ju

Chapter: Chapter 120Samantha's POVSamuel is finally in France. It was just me and mom in the house alone. She did try her best so that I don't feel the absence of my brother.It was inevitable. I missed him dearly; he's the only one that brought up discussions about Adrian.Talking about Adrian hurt like hell. It felt like a million jabs of needles through my heart and was left there until I bled out.To be honest, it did. But after I retired to my bed, fresh tears would soak my pillow again.He was my first love, and to be hurt like that by someone I thought would look out for me. There are no words to fully describe my emotions.For the most part, Samuel kept in touch and encouraged me to return to school. As excited as I was to legally play Ice hockey, they weren't getting the full picture.No school wants to accept me as a player. They were willing to overlook the stunt I pulled at Northbrook academy, but I won't be allowed to play hockey."Then there's no point in returning to school," I had told t

Chapter: Chapter 119Richard Donovan's POVIt wasn't until I watched the news of the NHL declaring my daughter Samantha the first female ice hockey player that I felt the need to go home.The hotel grandeur has been my home for the past two weeks. My wife and son were against me. They didn't want to see things from my perspective.Things were going smoothly until Samantha went ahead to fall for Volkov's son.It wasn't a part of the plan, and she ruined it. She ruined me.I couldn't bring myself to go to my own company. Whispers flew about the incident.Well, none of my employees had the balls to say anything directly to me, but their stares said what their mouths couldn't.I couldn't take it anymore, let alone the paparazzi that flooded my office building daily.Of course I denied knowing anything about it. No other comments were given. I thought home would be the sanctuary, but I couldn't stand staying under the same roof as her.She was supposed to make me proud. I can't begin to imagine what Volkov wou
