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.

  • 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.”

    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

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 145: Prisoner of a Dream

    Alex’s POV“Hey you! New kid! What are you doing just standing there? The floor is wet! Mop it before someone slips and breaks their neck!”One of the team members shouted at me from across the ice arena, his voice echoing off the high, cold walls. I stood motionless near the entrance, staring out at the rink, my skates still unlaced, my gear hanging heavy and useless in my hands.This was it. This was the place I had dreamed of since I was a little boy, lacing up my first pair of skates, imagining this exact moment. The international hockey team. The highest level there was. Every player’s ultimate dream. I should have been proud. I should have been bursting with happiness. I should have felt like the luckiest man alive.But the truth was… I didn’t want this at all. Not like this. Not under these circumstances.All I wanted was Emily. I wanted to pick up a phone and hear her voice. I wanted to tell her I was okay, that I was thinking about her, that I loved her more than anything in

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 144: Truth and Lies

    Emily’s POV I grabbed Will’s arm and pulled him sharply away from the doorway, out into the quiet hallway where no one else could hear us. My hands trembled, my chest burned with anger, and every instinct inside me screamed that I had been right all along. It was not luck. It was not talent. It was him. He had arranged everything. “What have you done?” I demanded, staring up at him, my voice shaking with fury. “Did you… did you rig this contest? Did you make certain I won?” Will did not even flinch. He looked down at me with that same calm, knowing expression, as if my anger was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. “Is it really that obvious?” he asked, sounding almost amused. “Why?” I cried, tears stinging my eyes. “Why would you do this? Why could you not just let it be fair?” Will shrugged lightly, adjusting the cuff of his jacket as though this were the most ordinary conversation in the world. “Because I wanted you to win,” he said simply. “Is that such a terrible thin
