CHECKMATE MY ICY HEART: FALLING FOR THE HOCKEY CAPTAIN

CHECKMATE MY ICY HEART: FALLING FOR THE HOCKEY CAPTAIN

BLURB ‘She was never supposed to be his. That's exactly why he had to have her.’ Harper Thorne knows the rules. Don't get noticed. Don't make enemies. And whatever you do…… never look twice at Asher Kingston. He's the billionaire heir. The hockey captain. The boy every girl at Sterling Academy wants and every smart girl knows to avoid. Harper is smart. She just stopped being invisible at the worst possible moment. Now he owns her time, her schedule, and every room she walks into. Personal assistant. That's what he calls it. What it really is — is a game. And Asher Kingston plays to win. She tells herself she hates him. She almost believes it. Until the night he pins her against the wall of the rink and says her name like it's something he's been keeping in his mouth for weeks. Until his hands are in her hair and his voice drops to something low and private that was never meant for anyone else. "You were supposed to be easy to break." She isn't. And now neither is he. But wanting her is the most dangerous thing Asher has ever done. Because someone is watching. Someone who knows exactly what Harper means to him now — and plans to use it. He thought he was punishing her. Turns out, she's the only thing standing between him and everything he's about to lose. *********************** For readers who like possessive heroes, slow-burn tension that snaps, and love stories that hurt before they heal. ‘He came for her silence. He stayed for so much more.’

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN CASPER’ POV I couldn’t imagine that Diana was going to give me such a condition before she could consider forgiving me. I realized that I had walked into a trap, but it didn’t look like I had a choice at that moment. She had made up her mind to get rid of Asher through me, and I wondered why she wanted him out of the way so badly. The thoughts of their little drama at the hospital got me thinking almost throughout the night until I was able to force myself to sleep. I woke up the next morning, still about the reason why Asher was thinking that Will was his son. Could it be that he had met Diana before? I quickly got the thought out of my mind, walking to the room to check on them. I realized that Diana had already left for work and the nanny she hired was with Will. Desperate to find answers to all the questions that lingered in my mind, I called in sick at work and left to see Asher after I called him to be sure that he was at home. Sylvia had tex

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN HARPER’S POV Will may have stopped asking the question about Asher being his father, but I was certain that the thoughts still lingered in his mind. The Doctor realized that he had healed faster than he expected, and he decided that he didn’t really need to stay in the hospital any longer except I needed an eye to be kept on him. I was so eager to leave at once, refusing to listen to Casper who suggested that we left him until the next day. He drove us home, and we got back at night, totally exhausted. But that didn’t stop me from giving my son a hot shower after he complained that he could still smell the stench of medicine. I knew that it was his mind messing with him, but what was my major concern was how I was going to be able to give him his medication without struggling for a long time. He had so much difficulty taking his medication, one of the reasons why I didn’t like him getting sick. While I was bathing him, I looked at his back carefully

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIXTEENHARPER’S POVMy heart beat really fast as I watched what was going on. I couldn’t even make any further move because I was afraid that something was going to happen, something very unpleasant.“What’s going on, Diana? Are you okay?” Casper seemed really concerned, especially after he saw that I was having a little difficulty breathing, but I didn’t bother to give him a response. All I did was stare at Will who turned to look at me.“Mummy?” He had a curious expression on his face, and I knew that he was trying to know if I was going to permit him to show his back to Asher.

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN HARPER’S POV I didn’t know if I was to ask Fred or Casper if any of them had told the two of them where I was. I looked at Casper, and seeing that he was surprised to see his brother, I turned to look at Fred, who had his eyes on Lara. “What are you doing here, Lara? Are you done with all I asked you to do?”“Yes, boss! I brought CEO Asher to see Diana. He said that she hadn’t been taking her calls.” Lara was clearly trying to paint me black, but it didn’t look like it was going to work out for her; instead, it backfired at once. “I think you should go back to the office since you have already done what you are here for.” Fred didn’t look very pleased to see Lara, but she was more focused on staring at me like I had committed the worst crime in the entire world. She looked at Casper and Will for a few seconds, and then she returned her gaze to me with a smirk on her face. “Lara? Leave.” Fred said in a slightly imperative tone; the smirk on his face wa

HARPER’S POVThe moment Will woke up, the first person he got excited to see was Casper. It took him a while to pay attention to me. I just stood there and watched as he laughed at some of the jokes Casper told him.I couldn’t deny the fact that I was feeling a little bit jealous; I was certain that it was written all over me for anyone who cared to look at me to see.“Mummy!” Finally, my son was able to see me standing where I was, very close to the bed. I took a few steps closer before I sat down on the bed. He wrapped his arms around me before he continued speaking with Casper, who clearly had a lot of things to say to him.“Will? I got you some fruit.”

ASHER’S POV I got so much interested in Diana’s son as soon as Casper mentioned that he was also allergic to nuts just like me. That was something that I had never seen or heard from anyone else. I would have let go of the situation since Diana and I had never been together, but there was something about her that always lured me to her. Even Will was very interesting to talk with. I tried severally to call Casper so that he could send me the address of the hospital, but he refused to take my calls. I realized that he was doing that intentionally, but that didn’t stop me from doing what I had in mind. But there was a little problem. A problem that made me reach out to Casper after I tried to call Diana without getting through to her. Some of the workers at the construction site were beginning to mumble about something that could only be taken care of by Diana. I didn’t know how to handle the situation since they were more familiar with her and didn’t seem to enjoy the way I was c
