    TIMOTHY POV


    Timothy stepped out of the meeting room, his mind still swirling with thoughts. about the changes


    the new club leader was implementing. The meeting had been intense. He knew he had to work


    even harder than ever to prove himself this time around.


    The new club leader had announced some significant alterations to the team’s strategies and


    ying style. One of the changes involved giving Timothy more ytime, which should have been a


    reason to celebrate. However, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease about the direction the


    team was taking.


    As he made his way through the bustling corridors of the club’s headquarters, he tried to process all


    the information that had been thrown at him. He had to y catch up to get the same level of


    notoriety with the new team, and it felt like a daunting challenge.


    The pressure to perform weighed heavily on his shoulders. He had always been a standout yer


    in the previous club, but now he had to prove himself all over again. It was as if he was starting from


    scratch, and the thought filled him with anxiety.


    Still, he had to adapt to the new strategies and gel with the other yers quickly. In this case, it


    would serve him well to make new allies rather than just casual drinking friends.


    As he walked, he couldn’t help but think about his old team and how much he had grown attached


    to them. They had been like a family at times and leaving them behind had been bittersweet. Their


    silence during the trial had been deafening, however, and Timothy couldn’t help but feel empty.

    prove his worth on the field, and that meant giving his all in every practice and match. He weed


    the opportunity to improve his skills and be a more versatile yer.

    scrutinized under the public eye at that point. Having dedicated fans. did not trante to having


    dedicated teammates and coaches.

    Surrounded by the rhythmic sounds of nking weights and the smell of sweat. Timothy’s mind


    eventually drifted to Evie. Lately, he had noticed a change in their dynamic, and it left him feeling


    uneasy.


    After their night at the strip club, he had hoped their friendship would grow stronger. They had


    shared a fun time together, and he had felt a deeper connection with her. However, in the days that


    followed, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Evie was pulling away from him.


    As he lifted the weights, he reyed their recent interactions in his mind. Evie had seemed distant,


    and their conversations had be more surface–level. She had been evasive when he tried to


    make ns, always iming she was busy with work or othermitments.


    Timothy couldn’t help but wonder if he had done something wrong. He had felt a strong bond


    forming between them, but now it seemed to be slipping away. She had opened up to him about her


    past, and he had hoped that would continue. Instead, he felt like she was shutting him out.


    Finishing his set, he wiped the sweat from his brow and took a water break. As he gulped down the


    cool water, he suddenly grew frustrated. It was obvious she was avoiding talking about whatever


    was bothering her.


    He wanted to be there for her, to offer support like she had done for him, but it seemed like she


    didn’t want to let him in. He didn’t want to push her, but he couldn’t stand seeing her so distant. She


    even looked sad on some asions.


    Despite her distance, he couldn’t help but be drawn to her. He found himself. thinking about her


    constantly, wondering what was going on in her life. However, he had promised to keep his distance


    if it meant her feeling more secure around him.


    There was one awkward evening when he found himself standing outside her apartment, debating


    whether to knock or not. He missed herpany, and he wanted nothing more than to spend timeFrom N?velDrama.Org.


    with her. Instead, he had retreated back into his apartment, his heart beating violently.


    After that, he had tried going out with some friends, preferably without punching anyone. However,


    the nights were short, and his wicked thoughts always circled back to Evie. It suddenly became


    more convenient to spend his nights home alone. with Duke aspany.

    Duke seemed to love Evie as well. That told Timothy a lot about a person. especially since he met


    so few of them. When he’d met the pet–sitter, Linda, his immediate instinct had been to growl circle


    around her. He didn’t what disturbed the dog so much about Linda, even though she seemed to


    take good care of him while Timothy was away.


    As Timothy walked out of the gym, he spotted a group of his former teammates huddled together,


    their eyes fixed on a phone screen. He noticed their snickering and felt a tinge of annoyance. He


    had expected some skepticism about the changes, but their behavior seemed different, almost


    malicious.


    Timothy furrowed his brow, feeling a pang of irritation. What could they possibly beughing about?


    Ignoring the unease settling in his stomach, he approached the


    group.


    “What’s so funny?” Timothy asked, trying to keep his tone casual.


    One of the yers, Jake, held up his phone, smirking. “Take a look, man,” he said.


    Timothy took the phone and nced at the screen. It was a social media page belonging to a


    woman he recognized as Linda – his dog–sitter. The photos showed her in various ces, and he


    couldn’t help but find familiar.


    He quickly scrolled through the pictures, his heart sinking as he saw images of Linda posing in his


    apartment. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks had been in his home, taking pictures without


    his knowledge.


    she


    His face flushed with embarrassment and anger. “Where did she get these photos?” he asked,


    trying to sound calm despite the roiling emotions inside him.


    Jake shrugged, a mocking glint in his eyes. “Who knows? But it seems like she had quite a time in


    your apartment.”


    Timothy’s jaw clenched, and he handed the phone back to Jake. He couldn’t believe that Linda had


    taken pictures in his personal space and then shared them without his consent.


    “She had no right to do that,” he said through gritted teeth.


    His former teammates exchanged smirks and shrugged off his words, seemingly amused by the


    situation. Timothy’s frustration grew, and he felt an overwhelming. desire to defend himself.

    “I barely know her,” he said, his voice tinged with annoyance. “I employed her, and that was it. She


    had no business posting those pictures.”


    One of the other yers, Mike, chuckled. “Looks like you left quite an impression


    on her.”


    Timothy shot him a withering re. “This is not funny.” he retorted.


    Jakeughed, and Timothy felt a surge of anger rise within him. He had left the team to pursue his


    dreams and grow as a yer, but they seemed content to belittle him at every turn.


    “I suggest you mind your own business,” Timothy said sharply, unable to hold back his frustration


    any longer.


    Mike shrugged, feigning innocence. “Just saying, man. Your business is all over the


    inte now.”


    Timothy took a deep breath, trying to keep hisposure. He didn’t want to stoop to their level and


    engage in pointless arguments.


    “This is fucked,” he said with a sigh, rubbing a hand over his forehead.


    As they all watched him in quietly, mischief twinkling in their eyes. Timothy nearly lost it.


    “Go do something better with your time!” he growled, kicking the nearby wall and disturbing the


    photos that hung on it.


    With that, he turned on his heel and walked away from the group, determined not to let their taunts


    get to him. He knew that he had made the right decision to leave the old team.


    As he left the building, he couldn’t shake the feeling of frustration and


    embarrassment. He had tried to start fresh with the new club, but it seemed life


    wasn’t having that.


    How could Linda do such a thing? Had he not paid her enough? Fans viting his privacy was not


    a new event, but he hadn’t expected things to go this far.


    He was going to have to call his manager about this..
