If I Would Have Known by M.K Vindictiv

OTHELIA
One phone call.
With those few words, my entire world crumbled into a million pieces, never to be whole again.
The spotlight fades away, and I am plunged into a reality I had never imagined, returning to a city that holds memories I thought I had left behind.
And then there’s him…
There’s a darkness behind his stormy eyes that mirrors the soul-deep ache within me. His silent kindness and the intensity of his gaze draw me in, making it impossible to stay away.
How can the one person who brings my heart back to life with each touch, also be the one who plans to leave at the end of the season?

ROOK
One more year.
One more team and then I can be back where she needs me the most.
Train hard. Play harder. Keep my head down and make myself the best defenseman the Chicago Hellhounds have ever seen. I have a plan and I just need to see it through.
And then there’s her…
The breathtaking, silver-haired siren I can’t seem to get out of my head.
I try to ignore her, but when I see her struggling, I can’t help but step in.
One season is all I have to give, but I have a feeling that with Othelia James, one season won’t be nearly enough.
How do you move on when you never got to say goodbye? How are you supposed to pick up the pieces when your life will never be the same?
