A low blow, and I felt terrible for playing that card, but he deserved it. Not sweep the rug out from under my feet and watch me hit the ground. There was no one else other than Kova who knew how important each gymnastics meet was on my journey to the Olympics, yet he had the audacity to rip it from me for his own selfish reasons. After everything we shared, after all we knew about each other-our goals and desires in life, our dreams and aspirations-this was the dirtiest move of all, and I wasn't sure how we would come back from it. I detested the ground he walked on, the air he breathed. Rage unlike I’d ever felt before slithered through my veins, consuming me. Hate swelled through me at an alarming rate. One toe off the beam and their forbidden desires could ruin everything they’ve worked for, throwing it all off balance.Kova was a heartless, cunning man. Every interaction can be misconstrued, but there’s no mistaking the darkening of his gaze, the lingering of his touch, or the illicit image of his bare skin pressed against hers. Kova's power and domination, coupled with Adrianna's fierce tenacity, reveal there is more for her body to learn. As the relentless pursuit of her dream keeps her striving, a passion is ignited within him. She doesn't come close to his high standards. When two time Olympian Konstantin Kournakova is persuaded into training the young hopeful, he immediately regrets it. Perfection, precision, and dedication are required of his athletes.

Even if that means leaving home to attend World Cup Academy of Gymnastics, a training center that serves one purpose - producing champions. Olympic glory is the ultimate goal, and she'll do anything to achieve it. Years of pain and determination make her one of the best. Adrianna Rossi is no stranger to the rigorous demands required of her body.
