ELIANA

Uncle James pulls me into his arms, his strong hands firm around me as if it’ll be enough to protect me from the tormenting pain. From the entire world.

“It hurts really bad.” I confess out loud, hugging him back tightly as though my life depends on it.

Or maybe it did.

“I know. I know. I'm so sorry.” He says, giving my body a gentle squeeze and planting a kiss on my hair.

The sobs that I have been trying hard to suppress break free, hard for me to hold back that much longer. For the first time in a long time, I allow myself to let it go, succumbing to the pain because I’m afraid that if I hold it all in a minute longer, I'll die from heartache.

“It's going to be okay. Your uncle is here for you. I’ll always be here.” He says, stroking my back gently. Reminding me that he’ll always have my back even if the world turns against me. More tears stream down my cheeks, letting it all out.

After hugging for a while and I’m a little calm, we finally pull off from

  • A Deal With My Hockey Captain Stepbrother    Chapter 024 Secrets 2

    ELIANA The blaring alarm wakes me up and a groan escapes my mouth. I reach for the clock on the side bed table and shut it down. I stay on the bed for a while, my mind wandering around for a second. The memories of the previous night flashes in my mind and my lips curl into a smile. I recall the late night conversation that I had with Jackson in the kitchen, the deal and the conversation with uncle James thereafter. I was able to sleep after talking to uncle James. Heaving a deep sigh, I shove off the blankets, grab a clean towel and head over to the bathroom to freshen up. And when I’m done in the bathroom, I walk back to my room, change into uniforms, grab my backpack and head over to the kitchen. A strong aroma of coffee from the kitchen hits my nostrils, awakening my sick addition to caffeine. There's faint voices inside the kitchen and laughter. Releasing a breath, I walk inside the kitchen.

    ELIANAWalking into my room, I close the door behind me and lean on it for a moment. The conversation that I shared with Jackson in the kitchen is still fresh and loud in my head.“Deal,” His deep, masculine voice echoes in my head like it's some sort of music or something. A smile tugs at the corner of my lips. Still, I can't believe it.I check the time on the digital wall clock and that's when I realise it's past midnight. My intention was to fetch a glass of water downstairs and come back to my room. Bumping into Jackson in the middle of the night looking all sweaty from the intensive training, helping him with the blisters and making a deal with him wasn't a part of the  plan but…I’m glad it happened.For the first time, Jackson and I agreed on something without arguing. And it's the first time that we had such a lengthy conversation.Heaving a deep sigh, I walk to the bedside table and grab my phone then sit

    Chapter ELIANA I turn off the tap, reach for a towel and dry my hands. It is silent for a while inside the kitchen, the atmosphere thick with tension and something more that I couldn't quite wrap my head around, Jax’s words still ringing in my head. Slowly, I turn around to look at him and for a moment, I think that he’s joking but by the look on his face, he looks serious. He stares back at me, his blue eyes sharp just like he could see through my soul and realise how badly I have been wanting to hear those words from him. “I thought…you don't want trouble?” I ask with a raised eyebrow, referring to his statement in the morning during breakfast, praying cool so that he doesn't realise my curiosity. His jaw clenches upon hearing my words and his eyes darken. “Of course I wouldn't if there was another way. I thought…you didn't want trouble either.” He counters back. The corner of his lips tips up into a smirk, my hand itching to slap it away.I know damn well that he wa

    ELIANAA frustrated sigh escapes from my lips as I turn on my sides for the thousandth time, trying to get some sleep but…to no avail. I stare at the digital wall clock, watching the clock tick in slow motion and it feels like time has been frozen. I close my eyes, clear my mind and try again. A few minutes pass by but…it's all in vain. I sigh in defeat and shove away the blankets, climbing down from the bed and leave my room.It's quiet as I walk down the hallway and descend the grand stairs. Of course I don't expect anyone to be awake in the middle of the night. My mother went to bed early because she was exhausted from her daily florist job.She told me that she had a lot of orders today and didn't have enough time to rest in between. For uncle Robert, he came home a little late and he looked exhausted as well. He mentioned about having a late meeting with investors. And for Jackson, I don't have any idea if he had gone to bed or not. The last

    JACKSON “This is the last chance, Jackson. No next time. Your career depends on it and so is mine. If you want to stand a chance to be recognised at the championship, you’ll have to win the two remaining games. Or else…you’ll become a substitute and we all know that isn't good.” The coach’s words replayed in my head over and over again like annoying music put on repeat, loud, hard to ignore.“ Fuck you Ethan!” I curse through gritted teeth, my grip tightening on the steering wheel as my car pulls through the gates and I drive straight ahead to the parking lot.A low growl escapes my lips, the desire to let out all the frustration that has been building up within me throughout the drive so strong. Turning off the engine, I punch the centre of the steering wheel so hard that my car honks. However, that doesn't make me feel any better. I unbuckle the seatbelts and head straight to the mansion, my hands fisted to my sides.I open the door and she's t

    JACKSON It has already been three damn days without skating on the ice. Even though I don't want to admit it out loud, it feels like forever. I have been dry practising every single day after school back at home using the tiny information that Eliana gave me. I have been trying my best to perfect my left side and strengthen the right side so that it would be easy to kick Ethan's ass the next time we meet in the rink.I look across the big hall and spot him. It's all his fault that all this is happening. It's his damn fault that I have missed the feeling of being on ice for fucking three days. As though he senses my eyes on him, he turns to look at me and I don't miss the little curl at the corner of his lips. My jaw clenches and I’m tempted to walk to him and punch the stupid smirk away from his face but…I take a deep breath to calm my nerves. I know damn well that he's doing all that to get a reaction from me.The supervising teacher clears his throat intentionally and I turn my att
