Oops, The Hockey Captain Is Obsessed Epp
Transcript
00:00I was born with heavy breasts and too many curves.
00:04My half-sister was afraid her boyfriend Jake would lose his mind over me, so she sold me
00:10to a dying man, Ryder Calloway.
00:14Sure, Ryder's injury means he can't get hard, but at least you spared the pain of
00:21having his children.
00:23Three months later, I was begging for mercy every single night.
00:28I desperately wanted to ask Claire exactly what she meant by can't get hard.
00:37Ryder Calloway, Northgate University's undefeated ice hockey captain and the most feared name
00:43in the collegiate league, was carried off the ice in blood.
00:48The hit had come from behind, illegal, brutal.
00:51By the time they reached him, he'd lost consciousness.
00:54His mother, Diana, had already lost her husband years ago.
00:59Now, she stood at the edge of losing her son.
01:02Someone on the family's legal team suggested an emergency contract marriage.
01:06If Ryder were married to a healthy young woman, legal stability and medical next of kin status
01:12could help the family manage his care and keep the estate in order.
01:16Claire accepted it for me.
01:18If I refused, she would pull out my scholarship funding and have me transferred to work as an off-campus
01:24cleaner.
01:24I knew she hadn't forgiven me for my history with Jake.
01:29Please! I swear Jake and I are just friends!
01:33What good is a vow?
01:34Do you know how distracting your big boobs are?
01:36Tears came without permission.
01:39Walking around campus with that body?
01:40Which man here wouldn't lose it the moment they laid eyes on you?
01:44It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust men.
01:49Do you know who he is?
01:50A billionaire!
01:55If my mother and Diana weren't old friends, you wouldn't even be considered.
02:00Claire, I don't want to be anyone's emergency wife!
02:03Please don't!
02:07Eva, are you insane?!
02:10Miss Claire, word from the Calamite house, Ryder has woken up!
02:13Claire dragged me straight to the Calloway house.
02:16I followed her through the entrance hall to a closed door.
02:20Through the gap, I caught a shape on the bed.
02:23The low sound of difficult breathing.
02:26Diana stood near the window, eyes red.
02:29She took Claire's hands.
02:32Claire, thank you for everything. He's pulled through.
02:37There's no need for the contract marriage. I won't ruin a girl's future over this.
02:42Claire's eyes moved fast.
02:44Mrs. Calloway, the arrangement should still go forward.
02:48Eva arrived the same day Ryder woke up! That has to mean something!
02:51Diana hesitated. She looked at me.
02:55Before she could speak, the family physician stepped out of the room, her expression flat.
03:00Ryder has regained consciousness, but the hit fractured his lower spine and struck deep into his inner,
03:05flint deep into his inner thigh. The nerve damage.
03:09He can't!
03:11He will not be able to get hard. Possibly ever.
03:15Diana's knees gave.
03:18Eva, knowing this, do you still want this?
03:23Of course she does. She's just a girl with no standing.
03:28She should be grateful.
03:30I didn't speak right away. My mother had been a gifted doctor.
03:34I learned my mother's healing techniques from her notes. Maybe I could take care of Ryder.
03:39Perhaps it was better to be the wife of a dead person than to be bullied by my stepsister for
03:43the rest of my life.
03:44I straightened and stood in front of Diana.
03:47Mrs. Calloway, I'm willing.
03:50I'll sign the agreement, care for Ryder, and be here as long as you need me.
03:55Diana kept her word. She had a proper wedding outfit made. She treated it with full ceremony.
04:02On our wedding day, Claire said to me,
04:05Even though Ryder can't perform, at least you're spared the pain of having his children.
04:10Don't worry. A man who can't perform there is probably exceptional everywhere else.
04:15I told myself I was simply moving to a new house. Ryder was too weak to stand through the
04:22full wedding ceremony. I completed the signing beside his team jersey. The one hanging on the wall.
04:30Number seven. His number. Diana watched the whole thing with her eyes wet.
04:37When it was done, I was Ryder Calloway's wife. A wife of a billionaire ice hockey stars.
04:44His room was quiet when I pushed the door open. He was sitting up against the headboard. Pale.
04:50He turned when I walked in. Up close, he was strikingly good looking. Strong jaw. Dark eyes that
04:58didn't waste any movement. I never intended to take a wife in the college. If you don't mind,
05:06we can treat this like a roommate arrangement. Tonight the bed is yours. I'll take that.
05:15Tomorrow you move to the guest room.
05:22Alright. He had thought of everything. It wasn't what I'd expected. Before the ceremony, an older staff
05:31member pressed a prawn book for me. She'd whispered with a strange look.
05:39There are other ways between a husband and wife. You might find this useful.
05:44I hadn't understood her until I opened it. He'd moved through me just from the first page.
05:50Is it too warm in here?
05:52Ryder was watching me from bed. Eyes steady. Direct.
05:57The formal wear is heavy. I'm a little warm.
06:05Get ready for bed then.
06:09I set the book on the dresser. I unpinned my hair. Then I changed. Layered dress off,
06:17piece by piece. Until I was standing in just a thin nightgown. I looked in the mirror. The fabric
06:24was not thick enough. Heavy breasts straining against the cloth. Waists narrow. Hips full.
06:30In a thin nightgown at midnight, there was nothing left to hide behind. I moved toward the lamp and walked
06:37straight into his gaze. He wasn't asleep. His chest rose hard. The tips of his ears went red. His throat
06:44worked as he swallowed. I grabbed my hoodie and pressed it against my chest. Ryder, I thought you were asleep.
06:53I could sleep later. My breath caught. He rose to his feet slowly. Tall. His shadow fell over me. Image
07:04from
07:04that book flooded back. What did he want to do? Then Ryder turned and walked to the door.
07:13The moment cold air rushed in from the hallway. I came back to myself. He was already gone.
07:21When he looked at me just now. The shock in his eyes. Had I actually rattled him?
07:31He came back sometime in the night. His hair was still damp from the shower.
07:39When I woke up in the morning, he was already gone. His side of the room was empty. His assistant
07:45sunny came to check on me. Ryder, why didn't you tell someone to run you a hot shower? The water
07:50in
07:50the rain showers is freezing this time of year. I'll make you ginger soup. You're gonna catch something.
07:56Does Ryder Ryder usually take cold showers? Not that I know of.
08:01I went to greet Diana that morning. Ryder was already sitting beside her.
08:07She smiled like spring had come early the moment she saw me. Her face only changed when Ryder coughed.
08:16Ryder, I need to talk to Eva privately. Go rest. He left without arguing. Diana waved me over to sit
08:24beside her. Eva, my sweet girl. My son waking up is a blessing. But I can't let that blessing become
08:33your
08:33burden. The doctor says the nerve damage is permanent. No one knows how much time he has.
08:41Some in the family suggested I name a different heir from another branch of the family. But that
08:46would mean trapping you in a life with no future. You came here to stand by him and I am
08:51already
08:51grateful for that. I can't ask you to give him the rest of your life too. I've already thought it
08:55through. If the worst comes, I'll have him dissolve the marriage contract. You'll be free. I'll see to it
09:01that you have housing and enough to live on. I hadn't expected her to think this far ahead for me.
09:10It made me think of my mother. If she had lived, Diana laughed in tears. Look at me making you
09:18cry too.
09:20Eva, call me mom. You might as well.
09:26And one more thing. Claire mentioned, you know, healing technique.
09:33Ryder's daily health, the food, the supplements. Could you take that on?
09:38I just want him around a little longer. That's my small selfishness.
09:47I went to the kitchen and started planning. I carried the meal tray down the hall to Ryder's room.
09:55He was at his desk giving instructions to a junior teammate. Something about defense coverage.
10:01Just leave the meal. I'll take it later.
10:07You should eat while it's warm. The supplements don't work right on an empty stomach.
10:12He glanced at the tray. Then at me. He sat down without another word.
10:18Going forward, have Sunny bring the meals. She knows the routine.
10:22I can do it.
10:24It's not necessary.
10:27It's the same either way.
10:32It isn't have Sunny do it.
10:38Let's go out and talk.
10:45That confirmed it. Ryder Calloway did not want me around.
10:50Was my curve really too exaggerated?
10:55I followed his instruction.
10:57After that, Sunny delivered every meal to his studies.
11:01A week later, at morning check-in with Diana, Dr. Mills came by for his routine check.
11:06She said his vitals are the most stable she's seen.
11:10Eva, that's your doing.
11:13Then back in my room, I added it to the small box I kept in the dresser.
11:17You never wear any of it.
11:23I will eventually.
11:27If I ever leave, it all converts to something useful.
11:30You'd sell the things mom gave you?
11:32Not while I'm here.
11:33But if the marriage contract is dissolved one day?
11:36Yes.
11:37That's just practical.
11:41Ryder!
11:44Ryder, did you need something?
11:48I left some team footage in this room, looking for it.
11:53I'll help you find it. What format?
11:57USB. Black case.
12:07Any idea where you left it?
12:10No.
12:23He was really handsome.
12:25Fair skin, sharp brows, dark eyes.
12:40My chest pressed against him and I could feel his hard dick.
12:52Your footage.
12:53Keep it.
12:56Oh no, now he must have a worse impression of me.
13:02After that, I started actively avoiding Ryder.
13:05He was healing.
13:06He needed calm.
13:07I was apparently not conducive to calm, but a new problem landed in my inbox.
13:12Jake had been messaging me three times in the past week.
13:16I deleted them without responding and locked them in a folder.
13:20Eva.
13:22Eva.
13:23Someone's waiting at the side entrance.
13:25He says he won't leave until you come out.
13:27I already knew who it was.
13:32I walked out fast, already irritated.
13:35I pushed open the side door.
13:37Eva.
13:39You finally came.
13:43You can call me Mrs. Calloway.
13:45Or just don't call me anything.
13:47He leaned against the wall.
13:49I'm going to be promoted to senior team after next season.
13:52I just think that's the scene.
13:54I'm going to be promoted to senior team captain next season.
14:00When that happens, I won't need Claire's family connections anymore.
14:04Eva.
14:05Come be with me.
14:07Ryder's finished.
14:09Everyone knows it.
14:10Almost dying.
14:12What kind of future is that?
14:19He reached out toward me.
14:20I stepped back.
14:22You want me as a side piece?
14:24He nodded like it was reasonable.
14:26I laughed, actually laughed.
14:32Why would I give up being a Calloway wife to be your secret?
14:36I am standing.
14:38I have a name.
14:39I have a house that could fit your apartment 12 times over.
14:43The whole campus knows Ryder's washed up.
14:49Seems like a waste.
14:54My stomach turned.
14:55I stepped closer.
14:57My voice went quiet.
14:58You want to push this?
15:00I have every message you've sent me saved.
15:03I can have them on Claire's phone in 10 minutes.
15:11How does your captainship look after that?
15:16His face went white.
15:17I turned and walked back through the door.
15:20Behind me, I heard him start to say something.
15:24I closed the door.
15:27I spun around and nearly walked into Ryder.
15:31He was standing less than two feet away in a dark team jacket.
15:36I hadn't heard him come up.
15:39Ryder, I...
15:40His eyes were level, not cold, something else.
15:43You just called yourself a Calloway.
15:46My face got warm.
15:48That was...
15:49I was making a point.
15:50I didn't mean to overstep.
15:54You told him I was the most celebrated athlete in the league.
15:59That's just true.
16:01Ryder tilted his head slightly.
16:03Something moved in his expression.
16:05A minute ago, you said you were my wife.
16:07Now you're back to Ryder.
16:15I'll go check on your afternoon supplement timing.
16:18I tried to step past him.
16:20His hand caught my arm, gentle but there.
16:24I stumbled sideways into his chest.
16:33I looked up at him from three inches away.
16:36His eyes were dark and very close.
16:39The things you said just now...
16:44Were they true?
16:45I couldn't tell him the whole truth was just a bluff for Jake's benefit.
16:49So I looked up at him and said nothing.
16:52Ryder's eyes stayed on my face.
16:54The distance between us was wrong.
16:56Too close, his breath warm, his hand still around my arm.
17:00Eva...
17:01The supplement timing. I should go check.
17:04He let go.
17:06I walked away fast. Behind me nothing.
17:09No footsteps. Just silence.
17:12That was the first time I'd seen color in Ryder Calloway's face.
17:17My heart was going completely haywire.
17:22That night I dreamed about him.
17:26Nothing specific. Just his voice in the dark, low and close.
17:30Eva...
17:30Saying my name in a way that made my chest ache.
17:33I woke up with my pulse pounding and the sheets twisted.
17:36Sunny knocked and came in. I asked her to bring cold water.
17:39It really is getting warmer.
17:43I pressed a handful of cold water against my face.
17:47Then I thought about Ryder going to take that cold shower in the middle of the night.
17:51I shook the thought out of my head immediately.
17:53He had nerve damage. He was healing.
17:55This was absurd.
17:57Mrs. Calloway is having dinner in the courtyard tonight. She'd like you both there.
18:02Diana's housekeeper came to find me.
18:04I'd been finding reasons to avoid shared meals all week.
18:08Diana had noticed. I couldn't keep saying no.
18:11I walked out to the small yard behind the house. As the evening light came through the trees.
18:17The spread on the table was everything I liked. I stood there looking at it.
18:21Ryder remembered. He asked the kitchen this morning.
18:27My mother had died the night I was born.
18:31No one had ever made a point of the date.
18:34Something moved in my chest. Small and uninvited.
18:38How did you know today was my birthday? I forgot myself.
18:42The marriage registration paperwork. It listed your date of birth.
18:48She says they did have to think and say it. I do that.
18:52This is a bottle I've been saving. Good apple cider. And it's or not.
18:58I'm opening it for you tonight. Don't let either of you drink too much.
19:05Actually, the night air is too cold for my joints. I'll leave you two to enjoy it.
19:14She was gone before I could say anything. The yard went quiet.
19:18To avoid the silence, I poured a glass and drank it faster than I should have.
19:22It was sweet. It was also stronger than it tasted. I poured another, then another.
19:27The warmth spread up through my chest and behind my eyes.
19:32I reached toward the last small cake on the plate in the middle and found it empty.
19:37Where did the last one go?
19:39I ate it.
19:43I don't know where the nerve came from. I leaned toward him.
19:47Who said you could have the last one? Give it back.
19:49Ryder stared at me. Then he opened his mouth.
19:51You'll have to come find it yourself.
19:53I looked at his mouth. Then back at his eyes. Then back at his mouth.
19:56I leaned forward and kissed him. He went completely still. His breath stopped.
20:01Then his hand came up to the back of my head. And the kiss went deeper,
20:04slower, like he'd been waiting for it. Footsteps on the gravel path. We broke apart.
20:09Ryder! Diana said it's getting cold. She wanted me to-
20:13She stopped. Looked at us. I'll just leave these here.
20:16I stood up too fast. The yard tilted. My knees went the wrong way. Everything went dark.
20:22I woke up to the morning light and a headache like a fist behind my eyes.
20:25I sat up fast. Diana. The church visit. I'd promised I'd go with her this morning.
20:31Don't rush. Sunny appeared in the doorway.
20:32The car isn't ready yet. Did I- How did I get back here? Ryder carried you in.
20:38I looked at her. She nodded seriously. I didn't say anything strange, did I?
20:42You kept grabbing his sleeve and calling him baby. She pressed a hand over her mouth.
20:47Over and over. He turned so red. I thought he was gonna faint too. Sunny, if you tell anyone-
20:53She was already running. I found Diana at the front door. We drove out to the botanical gardens.
20:58She liked the greenhouse there on weekend mornings and said it was peaceful.
21:02I sat in the passenger seat staring out the window, still half mortified. Diana glanced over.
21:07You're not thinking about what I think you're thinking about.
21:10I've talked to you about anything.
21:12Eva. She kept her eyes on the road, but she was smiling.
21:15I arranged this dinner on purpose. I'm not sorry about it.
21:19Ryder and I are not- I know, I know.
21:22She waved a hand. I just want you two to be able to talk, even if it can't be more
21:27than that.
21:27I'd rather you were friends than strangers living in the same house.
21:30I was about to answer her. The car lurched. A sharp horn. Diana yanked the wheel. The car swerved
21:36hard onto the shoulder and the engine sputtered out. The brakes!
21:39She pressed the pedal again. Nothing. We were on the incline road above the park,
21:44still moving, getting faster. I looked ahead. A concrete barrier at the curve,
21:49maybe 300 meters. Diana, unbuckle. We have to get out now. Eva, that's too dangerous.
21:54Barrier is faster. Unbuckle. Hold on to me. We go on three. She was shaking, but she moved.
22:00I got my door open, locked my arm through hers, and the moment the car drifted toward the far
22:05shoulder, I pulled us both out and hit the slope hard. We rolled. I got my arms around her and
22:11took
22:11the ground on my side, my back, my elbow. The car struck the barrier 20 meters ahead with a sound
22:17like a gunshot. Silence. Diana, are you hurt? Come away. I was already checking her. Eva,
22:22you're bleeding. The gravel had opened up my forearm and one side of my face. I didn't feel it yet.
22:27Adrenaline. I'm fine. Are you hurt anywhere? Nothing serious. Eva, you covered me the entire
22:34way down. I helped her sit up against the slope. She was already crying. I'm fine. Sunny's car.
22:40She's always right behind us. She'll be calling for help. I heard my own voice as if from a distance.
22:45Steady. Calm. While every nerve in my body screamed. A sound. Footsteps. Fast. Coming
22:50down the slope. I thought I was imagining it. Eva, don't move. I've got you. Ryder's voice.
22:56He came down the bank fast. Pale. Jaw set. Eyes scanning me. He took my arm in both hands.
23:02How much blood is this? Where's the source? Surface. I'm fine. Stop saying that. He pulled off
23:08his jacket and pressed it to my forearm. You're not fine. He looked at his mother. She waved
23:13him back to me. I'm alright, Ryder. Take care of Eva. He tied the jacket around my arm and lifted
23:18me
23:18before I could protest. I was in his arms, off the ground. I could feel his chest rising too fast.
23:24You could have been killed. Like he was saying to himself. He carried me to the road. The whole
23:28way I kept telling him I could walk. He kept not listening. By the time the medics arrived,
23:32his face was still wrong. Too tight. Too pale. Diana told the medic everything. Eva pulled me out.
23:38She took all of it. Every impact. I walked away without a scratch because of her. Ryder stood
23:44at the edge of the group, hands in his pockets, looking at me. I looked back. You need to lie
23:49still. When they finished wrapping my arm. I know. We're going straight to the doctor. I know. He
23:54helped me get into the car. We drove in silence. His hand stayed on the back of my seat the
23:58hallway,
23:59not touching me, just there. At one point, I felt something hit my face. I looked up at the clear
24:05sky.
24:05Then, I realized it wasn't rain. I reached over and covered his hand with mine. Just for a second.
24:11He turned it palm up without hesitation and held on. I didn't let go. Dr. Mills patched my arm and
24:16told
24:16me to stay in bed for a week. No fractures. Lots of bruising. A dislocated finger that she reset
24:21without ceremony. I lay there after she left and looked at the ceiling. Sunny came in with soup. She
24:27kept talking. The car had been tempered with. Something in the brake line. The private security team was
24:32already investigating. Who would go after Diana's car? And why now? I was still turning it over when
24:37the door opened. Ryder. He stood in the doorway holding a small wooden box. He set it on the
24:43nightstand and sat down in the chair beside the bed. He didn't speak right away. The brake line was cut.
24:49It wasn't an accident. Do you know who? Working on it. He looked at my wrapped arm. His jaw moved.
24:54You kept my
24:54mother from going over that bank. She would have done the same for me. That's not the point. He was
24:59quiet again. Eva, I need to tell you something. He looked at the window. I've known for two months
25:04that I was going to have to dissolve the marriage contract. I asked Dr. Mills to start preparing
25:09the documentation. My chest went still. I knew you were waiting for it. The way you kept your distance.
25:14The box of things you were converting to cash and you were always going to leave. I told myself I
25:18was just
25:19getting ahead of it. For you. He turned back to me. His eyes were flat and direct. The dissolution
25:24papers are ready. You can go whenever you want. I had Sunny prepare an account and a sum that will
25:28cover you for as long as you need. You don't wait for me to die. You don't have to keep
25:32pretending.
25:33I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I know you've been counting the days. You don't have to do that
25:37anymore. Just go. He stood up and walked out. I sat there in the quiet after he left. In your
25:43mind,
25:44that's who I am. My throat was burning. I couldn't find words for it. I just sat there with both
25:48hands in my lap, staring at the door he'd closed behind him. By afternoon, a formal notice appeared
25:53outside the university athletic office. His name on it. Claire came and found me before I could read
25:58it myself. She was pale. Eva. Ryder. He's been accused. An anonymous report submitted to the league.
26:04They're saying he deliberately threw the Westfield championship game two years ago. Fix the outcome.
26:09Share defensive plays with the other team. I read the notice twice. Ryder Calloway. Threw games?
26:14He had more championship trophies than any athlete in the league's history. He had nothing to gain. And
26:20he had rushed to dissolve the contract before this broke. Sally found me in the hole, twisting her
26:26hands. He basically grew up on that ring. He would never. Eva, is there anything? I sat down. I made
26:33myself
26:33think. My mother had treated a sports official years ago. A serious lung condition before I was born.
26:39He'd come to thank my father afterward. I'd overheard the conversation. He was still with the collegiate
26:44athletics board. I remembered his name. I spent the next hour finding his office number. He was harder
26:50to reach than I expected. Three calls. Two messages. The fourth time he picked up. I know this is unusual.
26:56I'm Eva Calloway. Dr. White treated my mother years ago before I was born. I know you remember him.
27:03I remember. My husband is being investigated. I believe the evidence was planted. I'm not asking
27:09you to interfere. I'm asking for the name of whoever submitted the report, and ten minutes with whoever
27:14is reviewing it. Come to my office tomorrow, eight in the morning. I was there at 7.45. It took
27:20two hours.
27:21He walked me through the documentation. I asked questions, took notes, and found three inconsistencies in the
27:27timeline that didn't line up with the away game schedule. When I came out, Ryder was standing
27:32against the wall outside the building. He looked at me with an expression I couldn't read. What are
27:36you doing here? I heard where you'd gone. He pushed off the wall. Eva, you don't have to do this.
27:41I know.
27:41I put my notes in my bag. I wanted to. He took one step toward me, then stopped. His voice
27:46was rough.
27:47Why? I looked at him straight. Because you're not guilty. Someone is trying to take you apart for it.
27:52He held my gaze for a long time. That's it? You saved my mother's life. And now this?
27:57She's my family too. I paused. Whether you dissolve the contract or not, that part doesn't change.
28:03Something shifted in his face. He crossed the remaining space between us, and his arms came
28:07around me. Careful, like he wasn't sure I'd allow it. I didn't move away. He held on. I could feel
28:13his
28:13breath unsteady against my hair. I know what you must think of me. Pushing you out. Telling you to leave.
28:18Eva, I- I know. I pressed my palm against his chest. His heart was going too fast. I know
28:24why
28:24you did it. We stood there on the pavement outside the athletics board building in the cold morning
28:29air. A long moment of nothing needed. On the way back, I told him about the timeline gaps. He listened
28:35without interrupting. When I finished, he was quiet for a moment. Then- The report was filed by someone
28:40on the Westfield side. A coach who lost his position after the game. He blamed me. Then we find the
28:46proof.
28:47We. I looked at him. We. The corner of his mouth moved. Small. Barely there. It was the first real
28:53smile
28:54I'd ever seen on him.
