Alex’s POV

The ballroom was too bright, too loud, and filled with too many people I didn’t care about.

Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling like expensive cages, and the soft classical music did nothing to drown out the sound of my own thoughts.

This engagement party wasn’t mine. It was my stepfather’s victory lap — a business merger dressed up in tuxedos and champagne.

I stood near the edge of the crowd, wine glass in hand, watching everyone smile at me like I was the luckiest man aliv

    Emily’s POV “You don’t have to do this, Em. We can do this slowly,” Alex said, still busy kissing my neck. I held my hand back, restraining myself because what Alex said was true. “There’s no one here, so we don’t need to rush,” Alex whispered in my ear before looking into my eyes. We were so messy at that moment that my stomach growled, making me bite my lip in embarrassment. Alex just chuckled before hugging me tightly. “We can continue this later, you need to eat lunch first. I should buy something else for you because you won’t like that,” Alex said, kissing my forehead and immediately calling the delivery service to order new food. We sat on the couch waiting for our food. It felt incredibly awkward, but Alex didn’t let go of my hand. “Alex, you know, I’ve never seen this side of you.” “What do you mean? Maybe you’ve never seen it or don’t want to see it,” Alex said. “I mean the side of you now, when you’re with the person you like, I’ve never seen this side before.” “I

    Emily’s POV “Alex, what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?” “Can I come in?” Alex asked, just staring at me, making me forget he hadn’t even answered my question. For some reason, I let him into my apartment, walking past me. I missed his scent so much; it seemed like I hadn’t smelled it in a long time. “Do you live here alone? Actually, our apartment isn’t far, only a few blocks from here, actually, since my practice is nearby,” Alex said. “What are you doing here? I told you we didn’t need to see each other anymore.” Alex turned around and saw the lunch Pierre had bought me, untouched. “I don’t think you’ll like this food. I can buy you something else if you want,” Alex said. “Alex! Stop being like this! Don’t act like nothing happened between us. I don’t want us to repeat the same thing. I care about you, that’s why I want you to focus on your hockey. I don’t want you here. I don’t want you stuck with me.” “What are you talking about? I’m not thinking about t

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 78: The Knock That Changed Everything

    Emily’s POV A week passed, and my first painting for the gallery was finally finished. I was satisfied with the result. I just needed to paint a few more before the end of the month so they could all be displayed in the gallery. That afternoon, I didn’t go anywhere. Pierre sent lunch to my apartment. It looked delicious, but it was too Parisian, maybe I wasn’t used to the taste. And it’s been almost a week since Alex called me and asked to meet. He hasn’t contacted me again. I should be happy, but instead I’m looking for him. I tried calling Kara as I sat on the couch in the TV room. “Hello, busy painter. What’s up? Why are you calling? Do you miss me?” Kara said. “Yeah, to be honest, I really miss you. I miss us hanging out together as we used to. I’m alone sometimes. Mr. Pierre comes to keep me company, and sometimes he takes me to the gallery to see the construction, but I need company here.” “You can go out. You can go to a bar or cafe. Or you can… go on a blind date?” Kara

    Emily’s POV“Emily” I heard Alex’s voice whispering in my ear, my eyes opened and Alex was right above me, staring at my face.“How? How can you be here?”“I miss you Em” Alex said and dropped his head on my neck.His lips brushed my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I gasped as his hands moved down my sides, pulling me closer. The room felt hot, the air thick with need. He kissed my neck, slow and deep, his body pressing against mine. I moaned softly, my fingers gripping his shoulders as he moved lower, his mouth finding the sensitive spot just below my collarbone.“Alex…” I whispered, my voice breaking as his hands slid under my shirt, touching my skin like he knew every inch of me. The way he moved felt so real, so intense, his breath hot against me. I arched into him, wanting more, needing him closer. He kissed me hard, his body rocking against mine, the pleasure building fast, so close, so—“Nooo…”I woke up from my sleep, my heart was beating so fast, I felt he was really

    Emily’s POVPierre stood beside me, arms crossed as he studied the canvas. “I think adding a little brown in this part will be much better,” he said, pointing to the lower corner. “It will ground the whole piece. What do you think?”I stepped back, tilting my head. The painting was for his gallery, my first one in Paris. It wasn’t huge, but it felt important. “You’re right. The brown will make it feel more… real. I’ll try it.”Pierre nodded, but his eyes stayed on me. “Your polish looks very natural, but the color sometimes doesn’t match. Is there something on your mind?”I set the brush down, wiping my hands on a rag. “Oh it’s nothing, Mr. Pierre. I just… I think there are some unfinished things in my head, but I promise this won’t affect anything.”He smiled a little, leaning against the table. “It’s okay. Take your time, Emily. This is Paris. I brought you here not to steal your time. Have fun and enjoy Paris so you can feel what you need to pour into your painting.”I nodded, loo

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 75: The Truth I Couldn’t Ignore

    Alex’s POV I stood by my mother’s hospital bed, the sterile smell of the room making everything feel heavier. She looked smaller than I remembered, pale against the white sheets. “Why did you come back?” my mother asked, her voice weak but steady. “You shouldn’t have to go home and just focus on your training there. It’s your life, Alex.” I sat down on the chair beside her bed, taking her hand gently. “How could I not go home when he called me and said you were in the hospital? Mom, you are the only one I have. Do you think I can ignore it just because I don’t like you marrying him?” She squeezed my hand, her eyes softening. “I’m sorry, Alex. I thought by marrying him maybe you would get a better future. I didn’t think you couldn’t understand.” I looked down at our joined hands. “But promise me you will come back to Paris and focus on your dream of joining the international team. You have to do it.” “Yes, I promise,” I said quietly. “And… what happened to Sophia after the engage

I didn’t know why I followed him. Maybe because my legs moved before my brain could stop them. Maybe bec
