Alex’s POV

“Get out of here.”

I woke with a start, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs, my eyes struggling to adjust to the dim light of the room.

A man stood beside my makeshift bed—broad, tall, his face hard and unreadable—standing over me as he pulled the blanket roughly away from my body.

“What?” I muttered, my voice thick with sleep and exhaustion.

“I said get out of here,” the man repeated, his voice flat and commanding. “Someone wants to see you.”

He turned on his heel and

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 151: The Truth We Cannot Hide

    Emily’s POVThe doctor pulled his stethoscope away and looked at me with gentle but serious eyes. “Your body is under too much strain, Emily. You are carrying a child, and right now, you are not giving either of you what you need. Too much stress, too little rest, too much fear. You must slow down. You must rest properly. Not just for yourself—but for the life growing inside you.”I nodded slowly, unable to find my voice, my hands resting lightly over my stomach as if protecting something fragile and secret. Every word he said settled heavy in my chest. I knew he was right. I felt it in every ache, every wave of dizziness, every moment my legs shook beneath me. But how could I rest? How could I slow down when Alex was still missing? When Will was still pulling every string? When every second felt like a second closer to something terrible happening?The doctor gave me one last quiet instruction, then stepped away to let Kael come forward. I watched him walk toward me, his steps slow a

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 150: Lies and Shadows

    Emily’s POV We sat side by side on the hard plastic bench in the hospital waiting area, the air around us quiet and heavy, broken only by the distant beep of monitors and the soft footsteps of nurses passing by. My hands rested in my lap, twisting nervously, my mind still tangled in everything that had happened. Kael sat with his elbows on his knees, staring down the long corridor leading to Peter’s room, his expression tense and watchful. “Kael,” I said softly, breaking the silence. “How well do you know Karen? Have you seen her lately? What is she doing now?” Kael let out a long, slow breath, shaking his head slightly. “I barely hear anything about her anymore. She hasn’t come to the arena in weeks. Not since… well, not since everything started falling apart. I guess… maybe there’s just no reason for her to be there now. Everything changed after that fight with Alex. She stepped back, and no one has seen much of her since.” We fell quiet again, our eyes fixed on the closed door

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 149: Locked Out

    Emily’s POV When Kael pulled up outside the hospital, my chest felt tight and heavy, every breath shallow and strained. We walked quickly down the long, quiet hallway toward Peter’s room, and I saw the rest of the hockey team standing there—Peter’s closest friends, his teammates—huddled together outside the closed door, shifting on their feet, their faces etched with worry and confusion. They had come straight from practice, still in their tracksuits, some holding flowers, others carrying his favorite snacks, all of them ready to sit with him and talk and keep him company. “Hey,” Kael said, stepping up to them, his voice low and concerned. “Why are you all still out here? Why haven’t you gone in to see him yet?” One of the guys, Mike, shook his head slowly, his shoulders slumped. “They won’t let us in. The nurses and the security guards said no one is allowed inside except immediate family. That’s all they would tell us. We tried explaining we’re like family to him, but they just

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 148: Shadows in the Afternoon

    Emily’s POV “You look so pale lately, Em. Are you sure you’re alright?” Pierre’s voice pulled me from my work, and I lifted my brush slowly, blinking as I realized my hand had been hovering over the canvas without moving for several long moments. He stood beside me, his expression gentle but deeply concerned, his eyes scanning my face as if searching for something I was trying to hide. I forced a small smile and dipped my brush into the paint, trying to look busy, trying to pretend everything was fine. “Ah, yes, I’m fine. Truly. I think I’m just a little tired. That’s all.” “No… no, stop.” Pierre reached out and covered my hand with his own, stopping me from painting. He set the brush down carefully and pulled a chair over to sit beside me, his gaze steady and serious. “You need to rest. You look unwell, Emily. Not just tired—unwell. I think we should go see a doctor. Just to be sure.” My heart gave a small, anxious flutter. I shook my head quickly, too quickly, and smoothed my

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 147: The Debt I Never Knew

    Alex’s POV“Why are you doing this to my life?! Answer me!”I shouted the words so loud my throat burned, slamming my hand against the desk in the coach’s office where my stepfather had dragged me. The room was quiet, cold, lined with trophies and photographs of past victories—all things that should have meant something to me, but now felt like nothing more than decorations in a prison. He stood before me, calm and composed, as if he had planned every single moment of this, as if he had been waiting for this day for years. But why? What was all of this for?“Answer me, you coward!” I yelled again, stepping forward, my hands clenched into fists at my sides.My stepfather only gave a short, cold laugh before his expression hardened into something sharp and unyielding. He looked me straight in the eyes, and for the first time, I saw something deeper there—something old, bitter, and long-planned.“Because you still owe me, Alex,” he said, his voice low and final. “And debts must be paid.”

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 146: Eyes in the Walls

    Emily’s POV“Hey Em… wake up…”The voice was soft, familiar, drifting through the haze of my sleep. At first I didn’t pay it any mind, turning over on the sofa and pulling the blanket tighter around myself. But then it came again—clearer, closer, sending a jolt straight through my chest.“Emily… you have to wake up.”Alex’s voice.My eyes flew open instantly. I sat up gasping, my heart pounding wildly, my hands clutching the fabric of the sofa beneath me. I blinked hard, staring around the dim, quiet room. There was no one there. Just me. Just the empty apartment studio.I sank back against the cushions, pressing a hand to my chest, trying to slow my breathing. I had fallen asleep on the sofa again. I didn’t even remember curling up there. I had been sitting here thinking, painting, worrying… and then exhaustion had taken me. And in my dreams, Alex had been right beside me, calling my name.I sat there for a long moment, staring at nothing, my mind heavy and tangled. What is wrong wit

    Emily’s POVMy legs felt loose and heavy at the same time as I stumbled back toward the bar. The music pulsed louder in my ears, each beat slamming against my skull.

My eyes were still puffy from crying, but I’d managed to cover most of the redness with makeup. Lip glo
