Chapter 51
The Lakon ice hockey tournament had begun, and whether I liked it or not, I was about to step into Leo’s world once more. This wasn’t just any match–it was a battlefield where legends were made, and failures were forgotten
Although I had decided to keep it professional and go with Echo, Jane insisted on watching
it live.
“Mommy, please! I want to see the live action.”
After several back–and–forth exchanges, I agreed with her and used a disguise to conceal my identity. Wearing masks and glasses covered our faces successfully.
At sharp eleven in the morning, Jane and I arrived at the stadium; Echo had bought front–row tickets for us. Seeing the spectacle of the rink, I imagined the scene of my Jane playing as a professional player in a few years by herself. I couldn’t wait for that day to
turn into a reality soon.
The commentators welcomed the hoMelodyble guests and gave a small speech on the significance of today’s event before the players Introduction.
his team Leo came out, dressed in hockey gear, his confidence made him prominent among members. He waved in our direction and mouthed, “Watch out!“, making me conscious. I shifted in my seat uncontrollably; someone must have informed him about my arrival
today.
But I didn’t respond, ignoring his attempt to gain my attention. Leo didn’t stop at it, he raised his brow and winked as the referee blew the whistle, making the fans behind me
scream.
Hah!
What a narcissist!
Well, the match started on a good note as both the teams were of equal caliber, they struggled to dribble the puck into the opponent’s net. Both goaltenders were on high alert.

Chapter 51
As a center forward, Leo was attacking with his eft and right wing, his grace, and speed left others in awe. They stayed in the lane, forming common strategy known as triangle.
The fight forward abstained from the puck, the left one and Leo passed it between them, making the goalie move from side to side. That strategy opened up the net for scoring opportunities, and that was what Leo looking for.
The puck crossed the line successfully and everyone cheered for him, the commentator announced one point for his team. The game became so intense after that, fixing my attention on every player was impossible for me now.
So, I only focused on Leo like old times, witnessing his mastery on the rink. His effortless moves were like the dance of a butterfly, murderous enough to beat his enemy on a whim.
Chaos erupted in the stadium as a left forward snatched the puck from the corner and Leo held full command of it, scoring a lacrosse–style goal within seconds.
Leven jumped in my seat, this style of game always fascinated me. Leo would scoop the puck on the blade of the stick, and then the puck still on his blade, he whipped the stick around the net and tucked the puck in a top comer over the goalie’s shoulder. Simply
mind–blowing!
One more point was added to the scoreboard until the first break, foreshadowing the victory of Leo’s team.
The
game was resumed after fifteen minutes and by that time, Jane had already become Leo’s anti–fan. When I clapped for him on the fourth goal, she glared at me, calmly pointing out the tactical errors that Leo’s team made.
“If it were me, I would have practiced for a better rhythm of hands and upper body.

Jane was about to counter their analysis with more facts when I quickly covered her mouth. She was gaining unnecessary attention. Staying low key in the match was our top priority.
As expected, Leo finished the match with an impressive performance. The fans went crazy to celebrate his win.
I got up and walked with Jane to attend the post game interview, where the reporters had surrounded Leo like moths around fire.
“I heard that Leo is trying to win over the FB CEO!”
The other person responded with a scoff; I could tell from her tone that she was Leo’s
