The Ice King’s Fake Girlfriend: Chapter 1

The Ice King Needs a Queen

I hate hockey players.

They’re cocky, entitled, and act like the world revolves around them. Ethan Cross is the worst of them all—king of the ice and king of ruining lives. And now? He’s my fake boyfriend.

“This has to be a joke.” I cross my arms as I glare at my editor, who’s practically vibrating with excitement. “I write sports scandals, not PR fluff.”

“It’s a win-win,” she insists. “He needs to fix his image after the bar fight video went viral. You need exclusive access to break your next big story. Play along, and your career skyrockets.”

Play along? With Ethan Cross?

No way.

But my bills don’t care about my pride. And when I meet Ethan at the press conference, reality hits like a body check.

“Try to keep up, sweetheart,” he murmurs, flashing a smirk that’s way too confident for someone on the verge of career death. “You’re mine now.”

🔥 Cliff hanger: I open my mouth to argue, but the cameras are flashing, and before I can stop him, Ethan pulls me close, his lips brushing my ear. “Smile for the cameras, babe. The world thinks we’re in love.”
