Emily’s POV

Julian called me earlier saying he wanted to meet at the café near campus. I told him I was tired and had a lot of work, but he knew me better than I knew myself.

Twenty minutes later, he was already waiting downstairs at the dorm, leaning against his car with that stubborn big-brother look on his face. I had no choice but to go.

The café was quiet in the late afternoon. We sat by the window with our drinks — iced latte for him, matcha for me.

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 74: The Call That Changed Everything

    Alex’s POV“Come on, you can come to my apartment too. Kael will also come,” Karen said, smiling as she packed her bag.I shook my head, wiping sweat from my forehead. “Ah, I think I just want to go home. After all, Kael can be jealous if he knows I’m in your apartment when he’s not there.”Karen laughed, slinging her bag over her shoulder. “Kael won’t be like that. Why are you alone at home? Must be bored. It’s better to go to my place.”I still rejected Karen’s offer, waving goodbye as I left her in the arena with the other members. “Thanks, but I’m good. See you tomorrow guys.”On the way to my apartment, I looked at my phone. Emily hadn’t replied to my message. She also didn’t seem to be active on Instagram. I sighed, slipping the phone back into my pocket. Six months, and the silence still hurt.Not long after, a phone call from my mother came in. I immediately picked it up.“Hi Mom, what’s wrong?”“It’s me,” my stepfather said, his voice sharp. “You have to go home. Your mothe

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 73: The Gallery of Dreams

    Emily’s POV Pierre took me to one of his galleries. I was so amazed that my eyes and mouth kept open when Pierre took me around his gallery which was like a fairyland. “Wow, this is all your work?” I asked, turning slowly to take in the walls covered with beautiful paintings. “Most of my works but I also took some works from new painters like you,” Pierre said, his voice warm. “I bought their works without changing their identity and making those amazing works visible.” I walked closer to one of the pieces, a vibrant abstract that seemed to glow under the lights. “I can’t say anything, Mr. Pierre. You are so amazing. Having a gallery is one of my dreams and I’m sure it’s the dream of all painters, and you give them space to make it happen.” Pierre smiled, gesturing for me to follow him to the next room. “I just feel that a good work is not born from a great painter, but on the contrary, a great painter is born from their extraordinary works. One of which is you, and I am one of y

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 72: The Dream That Wouldn’t Fade

    Emily’s POV His hands were warm on my skin, sliding slowly down my sides as he pulled me closer in the dim light of the car. Rain pattered against the windows, creating a private world just for us. Alex’s lips found mine, soft at first, then deeper, hungrier. I moaned into his mouth, my fingers threading through his hair as I pressed against him. “Emily,” he whispered against my neck, his voice low and rough. “I’ve missed you so much.” I arched into him, my body responding to every touch. His hands moved lower, gripping my hips as he lifted me onto his lap. The heat between us built quickly, his breath hot on my skin as he kissed down my collarbone. I gasped when his fingers slipped under my dress, tracing patterns that made me tremble. “Alex… please,” I breathed, my hands clutching his shoulders. “Don’t stop.” He kissed me again, deeper this time, his body moving against mine in a rhythm that felt perfect. “I won’t,” he murmured. “I’ve waited too long for this. For you.” The

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 71: The Flight to a New Beginning

    Emily’s POV I stood at the airport entrance, my backpack beside me, feeling the weight of everything I was leaving behind. Mrs. Anderson had driven me here herself, and now we were standing near the security line. She turned to me with a gentle smile. “Are you ready?” Mrs. Anderson asked as she helped me with my bag. “I have no choice,” I said, looking at the busy terminal around us. “But I know I won’t regret it if I still go there.” Mrs. Anderson nodded, her eyes warm. “I know you will do your best, Em. And there is something for you. It’s not much but hopefully it can help you there.” She handed me a white envelope filled with money. “But—” I started, trying to hand it back. “Accept it,” she said firmly but kindly. “I used to go without money and I don’t want you to experience it. It’s not much but at least you have a handle for you while you’re there. Don’t worry, Pierre will take care of you.” I took the envelope, my eyes stinging with tears. “Thank you, Mrs. Anderson. I w

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 70: The Night I Couldn’t Face

    Emily’s POV I was still in my studio that night, not daring to turn on my phone. I also didn’t know if I could face my parents or Julian if I answered their calls. Maybe I’d melt and get back to them like I always did. Mrs. Anderson stood by the door, watching me with gentle concern. “Em, are you sure you will stay here? You can come with me if you want.” “Ah it’s okay Mrs. Anderson,” I said, forcing a small smile. “I’m just here anyway it’s only until tomorrow morning, so I’ll continue my painting which is about to be finished.” She nodded slowly, her eyes searching my face. “Alright, but if you need anything call me. I will pick you up tomorrow morning.” I looked at the canvas, the brush still in my hand. “I will. Thank you for everything. I don’t know what I would do without this studio. Without you.” Mrs. Anderson stepped closer, her voice soft. “You’re stronger than you think, Em. But you don’t have to carry everything alone. If the painting is too much tonight, just rest.

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 69: The Decision I Couldn’t Hide

    Emily’s POV I woke up to the sound of the studio door opening and Mrs. Anderson’s voice calling my name. “Emily, what are you doing here? Did you stay overnight?”I looked to the right and left, realizing Kara was no longer there. Maybe she had left and didn’t want to wake me up.“Ah yes I…” I started, but Mrs. Anderson found a backpack under my feet and approached me.“What’s wrong Em? What happened?” Mrs. Anderson asked, her voice full of concern.I took a deep breath. “I… Mrs. Anderson, if I agree to go to Paris, when can I go there?”Mrs. Anderson looked quite confused. She didn’t think I would say that. “Actually he can prepare a ticket for you anytime, because he really hopes you can work together faster, but I need to know what’s wrong with you Em?”“I agree!” I said quickly. “I will leave soon, but please don’t say anything to my family, I beg you Mrs. Anderson. This is my dream. I just want to do it at least once in my life.”I grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes, hopi

    Emily’s POV “Are you sure you’ll be better in the dorm?” Julian asked, sitting on the edge of my bed. He looked at me like I might break at any second. “Because I’m sure if Mom and Dad found out about this, they’d ask you to come home right away.” I shook my head, pulling the blanket higher arou

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 47: The Slip That Changed Everything

    Emily’s POVMy head felt heavy, like it was filled with fog. The first thing I noticed was the smell — sharp, clean, and cold, like antiseptic mixed with something sterile. My eyes fluttered open slowly, and the bright white ceiling above me made me wince. I tried to sit up, but a dull ache in my

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 46: Midnight Confessions

    Emily’s POV The phone kept vibrating on my nightstand, dragging me out of a restless sleep. My eyes opened slowly, heavy with exhaustion, and I reached for it with a groan. The screen lit up with Alex’s name. He had called three times already and left several messages. I opened the last one, m

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 45: Half-Truths at the Table

    Emily’s POV The smell of grilled meat and charcoal should have been comforting, but tonight it only made my stomach twist. Julian and I sat at a small table in the corner of the BBQ restaurant, the sizzle of meat on the grill filling the air around us. I stared at the pieces of beef and vegetabl
