The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

The team, led by Bennett, was momentarily taken aback.

Old, huh?

But that man was handsome as hell!

Sitting there, they were a sight for sore eyes – literal eye candy!

In the stands, Callum pointed down below and exclaimed, “Holy cow, is that the coach’s fiancée sitting with him? She’s drop-dead gorgeous! An angel in the flesh!”

With a scowl, Kenneth smacked Callum on the head and retorted, “Are you blind? Why would my brother marry a woman like that? She’s not worthy of him.”

Callum clicked his tongue.

Not worthy?

They could not be more perfect for each other if they tried!

Before, Callum could not imagine the kind of woman who would be a match for Percival. Now, it was crystal clear.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the whirlwind, Percival and Vivienne were blissfully unaware that amid the thousands in the arena, Kenneth and Aaron were fuming just because they were seated together!

The match had just begun, and in less than three minutes, Aaron had decimated the enemy’s defenses and claimed first blood.

“That kid’s got skills,” Percival commented with a nod of approval.

Just by looking at Aaron’s gameplay, it was clear he was a cut above Kenneth.

Vivienne frowned, sensing the tension.

Were they not supposed to hold back in the first game to keep their strategies hidden from Team Snake?

Aaron’s aggression flared, and the game ended in a swift thirty minutes.

Even Kenneth was taken aback by the display. As an old rival, he could tell Hawk’s performance had improved tenfold.

After a streak of seven losses, Hawk’s first victory sent morale skyrocketing, and cheers nearly shook the entire stadium.

The fans rose to their feet, shouting in joy. Hawk’s chances for the championship now seemed within reach.
