***MOMENTS THAT DEFINE US***

Flora's POV

The sudden, high-pitched shrill of my phone cut through my sleep. I groaned, burying my face back into the plush pillows before blindly clawing at the nightstand. I swiped the screen, dragging the device to my ear. “Hello…?”

“Good morning, Miss Morgan,” a professional voice chimed on the other end. “This is Jessica, secretary to the CEO of Auren Beauty. I’m calling to inform you that Mr. Sinclair has officially approved the contract. We will be forwarding

    ***THE GOLDEN BOY’S GHOST***Tyler’s POV“We're all starting to wonder if the captaincy is currently focused on the success of this team...or just your own personal agenda.”The words hung like a live grenade in the locker room. He turned away from me completely, his gaze sweeping over the benches where the rookies and sophomore players were huddled. He locked eyes with Jason, then with two of the new third-liners who usually kept their heads down.“Go ahead,” Sean said, his voice ringing with a false, heavy layer of brotherhood as he gestured with the dry-erase marker. “The Captain is right here. Tell him how it feels to skate with him. Tell him what you guys were whispering about in the lounge last weekend.”Jeffrey slammed his fist flat against his locker door, the metal echoing like a gunshot. “Shut the fuck up, Sean! You’re grasping at straws because you finally got a taste of a plastic title and your ego can't handle it!”“Let them speak, Jeffrey,” Sean countered smoothly, not

    ***WE WANT YOU TO GET PREGNANT II***Flora’s POVI sat completely paralyzed on the armchair, my tongue dry as I stared at the two women across from me. Grandmother Sinclair’s face remained an unyielding mask of stone. Next to her, Mrs. Sinclair remained silent beside her, allowing Grandmother Sinclair to lead the conversation as though it had always been that way.Silence stretched between us until the air felt heavy enough to suffocate.“I...” I swallowed hard, forcing my voice through the tightness in my throat. I didn't want to show the panic rattling my ribs, so I kept my posture rigid. “I’ve heard everything you both just said. But... why? Why do I have to get pregnant for Tyler?”Mrs Sinclair leaned forward, her sweet face twisting with a sudden, anxious desperation. “Grandma has a short time to live, Flora. She was recently diagnosed with—”Grandmother Sinclair placed a firm hand on Mrs. Sinclair's knee. She didn't utter a word. One sharp look was enough. Mrs. Sinclair's lips

    ***WE WANT YOU TO GET PREGNANT ***Flora’s POV“You know what, Lucille? I am absolutely, 100 percent done with his arrogant ass!” I kicked my legs violently in the pool, sending a massive, aggressive spray of water over the tiles.The warmth of the water was doing nothing to cool the raging fire in my chest. “This was supposed to be a simple, straightforward fake relationship. So why the hell does it come with this many complications?”Lucille was floating lazily on a yellow lounger, her eyes closed behind dark sunglasses, completely unbothered by my breakdown. “Calm your nerves, Flora, or you’re going to blast the truth to the entire neighborhood.”“Who even cares anymore?” I snapped, resting my chin on my folded arms at the edge of the pool. “This entire situation is getting incredibly annoying. If I had known the Ice Captain came with this much personal baggage, I would have preferred to work three extra retail jobs and sweat my way out of debt the hard way.”Lucille slowly tipped

    ***RUMORS***Tyler’s POV“What the fuck!”Flora’s voice squeaked in absolute panic. The ice-cold water stuck to my skin and a sharp, immediate surge of pure disgust hit me.I opened my mouth to speak, but the sight of her face made me pause.She looked entirely horrified, her eyes wide as the empty plastic bottle dangled uselessly from her fingers.“Flora, are you okay?” Lucille asked, stepping forward with her brows knitted.“Tyler,” she whispered, her voice dropping. “Look at this.”She turned the screen toward me, Lucille, and the boys. It was a gossip page with anonymous written at the top and the profile picture was a faceless ghost emoji.The headline was boldly written.“THE ICE CAPTAIN’S CHARITY CASE. Inside sources confirm Tyler Sinclair’s high-profile romance is an absolute setup. Is Flora Morgan just a distraction for the Captain to become more famous or is she playing the NHL's Golden Boy for a massive payout?”“Oh, you have got to be kidding me,” Joffrey muttered, his ban

    ***FIRST DAY BACK***Flora’s POVThe morning sun filtered through the windows of the room, but the bright Chicago light did absolutely nothing to calm the storm in my head. I stared blankly at the white ceiling, my eyelids heavy, completely trapped in a loop of everything that had gone down on that beach yesterday.The anonymous live question was still echoing in my skull like a bomb detonation.Are you guys perhaps Fake Dating?My chest tightened as I remembered the silence that had followed.But Tyler didn’t flinch. He leaned into the mic, his voice a freezing, immovable wall as he stared dead into the lens. “If we were faking it, we’d look a lot more perfect for your cameras. Real relationships are messy. Next question.” It was an absolute masterclass in damage control. It was so brutally convincing, that the live chat feed had instantly exploded in our favor, completely burying the rumor before it could breathe.He had been so focused on getting us out of there cleanly that he

    ***ARE YOU GUYS PERHAPS FAKE DATING***Flora’s POV“You two are the absolute favorites on every digital platform right now, but your performance today is completely out of alignment!” Christian hissed, his voice dropping into a desperate, panicked whisper as he stepped deep into our midst. “The audience wants high-octane romance, darlings, not whatever this stiff, defensive energy is! Especially you, Tyler—my God, smile more! Use those gorgeous lips! We have a fifteen-minute break before the final phase. Go fix your vibes!”The director called the break and Tyler immediately broke the contact, his chest rising and falling in a tight, sharp breath.He spun around, grabbed a cold bottle of water from the ice bucket, and marched toward the edge of the wooden deck.I needed to clear the static out of my own head. My hands were shaking so hard I could barely grip my phone as I slipped away into the shadows behind the changing tents. I clicked the contact and held the phone to my ear, wai
