Chapter 78 – Rest and Preparation
That night – Nathan's apartment.
The city lights flickered through his window. Rain on glass.
Nathan sat on the floor, back against the couch, phone buzzing nonstop.
Lauren:"You were incredible."
Demir:"You freak. You pass like Modrić now?!"
Bruno:"Dinner's on you."
Nathan smiled faintly.
But then—he opened the app.
Champions League.
Real Madrid vs Manchester United – Second Leg
Three days away.
–––––
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Old Trafford pulsed with a heartbeat louder than the city. Even on a rest day, the stadium didn't sleep. Not really.lights on in every office, boots clattering on polished tile. Something was coming.
Something big.
