Emily’s POV

The kiss still burned on my lips as we slipped out of the restroom and made our way up to the rooftop terrace.

The night air was cool, carrying the distant hum of the city below.

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

Maybe because some foolish part of me needed to hear what he had to say.

Or maybe I was just tired of running from the truth.

Alex stopped near the railing, looking out over the glittering lights. I stood a

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 137: The Gallery of My Own Sorrow

    Emily’s POVThe car rolled to a halt before tall, iron gates that stood like black sentinels against the pale afternoon sky. Beyond them lay a sprawling mansion built of pale stone, its windows glinting coldly in the light, its gardens manicured and silent. I stared up at it, my heart sinking heavy and slow in my chest. I had never been here before. I had never even seen this place. And I had no idea what Will was planning, or why he had brought me to this isolated, imposing house so far from everything I knew.Tears kept streaming silently down my face, hot and endless, as every worst-case scenario played out behind my eyes. What if I say the wrong thing? What if I refuse? What if I don’t paint exactly what he wants? Every question circled back to the same unbearable image—Alex. Alone. Afraid. Hurt. Because of me.I pressed one hand hard against my stomach, beneath the folds of my dress, and breathed in slow, painful gasps. Hold on, I told myself. Hold on just a little longer. Yo

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 136: The Price of Obedience

    Emily’s POV Sunlight filtered softly through the tall studio windows, falling across the canvas before me in streaks of warm gold. My brush moved slowly, mechanically, tracing shapes and colors that I barely saw. My mind was miles away, spinning endlessly around the same questions—Would I win? Would the judges understand what I tried to say? Would this work be enough to keep Will satisfied, to keep him from carrying out his threats? But beneath every thought, beneath every worry about the contest, there was only one thing that truly mattered: Alex. His face, his voice, the way he held me when the world felt too heavy. Every time Will’s name entered my mind, Alex’s name flashed instantly after it, bright and sharp and terrified. Whatever happened, whatever Will demanded, whatever price I had to pay… I had to make certain he would never lay a single finger on Alex. I would endure anything. I would agree to anything. Just to keep Alex safe. The quiet rustle of fabric and the fai

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 135: The Stage and the Chain

    Emily’s POV The air backstage felt thick, smelling of polished wood, fresh paint, and the faint, sweet scent of flowers arranged along the presentation hall. I stood beside my painting, hands clasped tight together to keep them from trembling, my heart beating a frantic rhythm against my ribs. Everywhere I looked there were people—judges in tailored suits, fellow artists clutching their portfolios, gallery owners whispering in quiet corners. And somewhere out there, watching, waiting… was Will. Mrs. Anderson stepped up beside me, her hand resting gently on my shoulder. She turned me toward her and gave me a warm, steady smile, though her eyes held a touch of concern. “Don’t be nervous, Emily,” she said softly, pulling me into a gentle hug. “You’ve poured your heart into this work. That is enough. Just do your best—for yourself, not for anyone else. Let them see what is in your soul, not what anyone else has told you to show.” I nodded, pressing my forehead briefly to her

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 134: Captive and Haunted

    Alex’s POV “GET ME OUT OF HERE!! YOU BASTARDS!! WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU?!” My voice was raw, ragged, and barely recognizable as my own. My hands were bruised, knuckles split and aching from pounding against the heavy metal door until my strength gave out. Every blow sent a jolt of pain up my arms, but I didn’t stop—I couldn’t stop. I slammed my fists against the cold steel again and again, shouting until my throat burned, desperate for anyone to hear, to answer, to tell me why I was here. I had lost track of the days, but I knew it had been exactly one week since they took me. One week since I was seized on the road, dragged into a vehicle, and brought to this windowless, cold room. One week since I had been completely cut off from the world—from everyone I loved. And most of all… from her. Emily. Her name repeated in my mind like a prayer, sharp and aching with every breath. That was the worst part of this hell—not the cold, not the hunger, not the silence. It was the fear.

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 133: The Ultimate Threat

    Emily’s POV “Thanks for driving me home, Kael. And thank you… for everything you showed me tonight.” I paused with my hand on the car door, looking back at him. The streetlight above us cast long shadows across his face, and his expression was grave, his brow furrowed with deep, unspoken worry. “No problem at all, Em,” Kael said, his voice serious and low. “But listen to me carefully. I know I don’t have all the facts, and I know I’ve been wrong before—terribly wrong—but I’m telling you now: be extremely careful with this man named Will. Every instinct I have is screaming that something is very wrong here. I don’t get a single good vibe from him. Not one.” He leaned forward slightly, gripping the steering wheel as if gathering his resolve. “I can’t ask Karen about it now—not after everything that happened between us. She won’t speak to me, and honestly… I don’t trust anything she says anymore either. But whatever is going on between them, whatever connection Will has to her… it’

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 132: The Hidden Connection

    Emily’s POV I pushed open the glass doors of the restaurant, breathless and still slightly trembling from the confrontation with Will outside my building. My heart was still racing, my cheeks hot, and every step felt heavier than it should. I scanned the dimly lit room until I spotted Kael waving from a large booth toward the back. Several familiar faces from the hockey team sat with him—Peter, and a couple of others I’d known since Alex first brought me around the team. They all turned to look as I approached, their expressions shifting from greeting to concern as they took in my hurried, disheveled state. “Hey,” I said, sliding into the empty seat beside Kael and offering what I hoped looked like a calm smile. “I’m so sorry I’m late. The bus got held up in traffic, and then… something came up right as I was leaving.” “It’s perfectly fine, Em. Take a breath, sit down,” Kael said gently, pushing a glass of water toward me. “We’re all here. Take your time.” “It really has been

    Emily’s POVI stared at myself in the mirror and barely recognized the girl looking back.The tight black dress Kara lent me hugged every curve, short enough to make me tug at the hem nervously.

    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. Kara’s warning from moments ago still rang in my head, but I pushed it away. “Another one,” I told the bartender, slapping my hand
