Rest and Preparation

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.
