All Chapters of His Forbidden Obsession: Tempting The Devil I Can't Have: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 2: The SetupNyra's Pov I did not go home immediately after leaving the rink.I stayed in the parking lot for a while, sitting in the car with the engine off while I watched people walk out of the building. The noise from inside followed them out, and most of them were still talking about the game like it was the only thing that mattered. Some of them were laughing, others were arguing about certain plays, and a few were still calling Jace’s name like he could hear them from outside.I paid attention, but not to what they were saying.I was watching how easily people reacted to him.It was not just about how well he played. It was about how quickly people attached themselves to him, how they looked at him like he was already ahead of everyone else. That kind of attention did not disappear on its own. It had to be redirected.That was the part most people did not understand.I leaned back in my seat and let out a slow breath, going over everything again in my head. I had alrea

Chapter 4: After the Crash Jace's Pov When I opened my eyes, everything felt wrong.The first thing I noticed was the light. It was too bright, and it made it hard to focus. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my body, forcing me to stop immediately. For a few seconds, I stayed still, trying to understand where I was and what had happened.Then it came back to me.The road, the headlights, the impact.I inhaled slowly, but even that felt uncomfortable. My chest tightened, and I realized I was lying flat on something firm. The smell around me was clean and sharp, and that was when I understood.I was in a hospital.I turned my head slightly, and the movement made the pain worse, but I forced myself to keep going. The room was quiet except for the steady sound of a machine somewhere close by. I followed the sound until my eyes landed on a monitor beside the bed.For a moment, I just stared at it.Then I noticed someone sitting near me.My mother.She was leaning forward sli

Chapter 6: The DistanceJace's Pov The days after the final match did not feel real at first.For a while, people still showed up. My phone kept buzzing with messages, missed calls, and short check-ins from teammates and people I barely talked to before. Most of them said the same things, and none of it really stayed with me.They told me I would recover. They told me it was not over. They told me I just needed time.I listened, but I did not believe them.By the end of the week, things started to change.The messages became less frequent. The calls stopped coming in as often. The visits became shorter, and then some people stopped coming entirely. It was not sudden, but it was clear enough for me to notice.People were moving on.That was how it worked. I had seen it happen before, just not like this. When you are in the middle of everything, it feels like it will stay that way, like people will keep showing up because they always have.That was not true.The only person who stayed

Chapter 8: The ApproachNyra's Pov I saw him before he saw me.I arrived early and stayed where I could watch without drawing attention to myself. Graduation ceremonies always followed the same pattern, and people rarely paid attention to anything outside their own space. They were focused on their families, their friends, and the moment in front of them. That made it easy for me to observe without interruption.I found him quickly.He stood out even without trying. People still noticed him, but the way they approached him had changed. They hesitated before speaking, and when they did, the conversations did not last long. I watched several interactions from a distance, and they all followed the same pattern. They asked how he was doing, he gave a short answer, and then they left.He was already adjusting.I paid attention to the details. The way he held himself had not changed much, but there was something quieter about him now. He was more controlled, but not in the same way he was

Chapter 10: The TermsJace's Pov I looked at her for a few seconds after she said that, trying to decide if I heard her properly.“You what?” I asked.“You,” she repeated, without changing her tone. “That is what it costs.”I leaned back slightly in my chair and let out a slow breath. There was nothing uncertain about the way she said it. She was not trying to impress me, and she was not trying to convince me with anything extra. She sounded like someone who had already made up her mind before I even got there.“That does not explain anything,” I said. “You cannot just say something like that and expect me to understand.”“I am not expecting you to understand without asking questions,” she replied. “That is why you are here.”I rested my arm on the table and looked at her properly this time.“Then explain it,” I said. “Clearly.”She nodded once, like she had been waiting for that.“I can get you back into hockey,” she said. “Not in a distant future, but soon enough that it still matt
