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

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 172: The Lights Go Out

    Alex’s POVThe fire alarm blared — high, sharp, ringing through the cold morning air — and for a heartbeat, I thought the whole building would burst open. People should’ve come pouring out, coughing, hurrying, panicking. That was the plan. Chaos. Distraction. Open doors.But nothing happened.I stood pressed against the side of the arena, binoculars still in my hand, Kael right beside me. We’d watched the signal fail — the screen lock, Will’s smirk — and now this. The alarm screamed on and on, but the doors stayed shut. No one ran. No one stumbled out.“They’re not coming,” Kael said, his voice tight. “They’re sealing it.”I watched as heavy steel bars slid across the main entrance from the inside, slow and deliberate. Guards stood at every exit, hands resting on their belts, calm, disciplined — not frantic, not scared. They were following orders. Exactly like Will trained them.“He knew,” I said, a cold knot tightening in my chest. “He expected this. Every move we make, he’s already

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 171: Screens That Flicker

    Emily’s POV The chapel doors opened, and the whole room went quiet. Not the soft, reverent hush of a wedding day — but a heavy, expectant silence, like everyone was holding their breath, waiting to see what would break first. My heart beat so hard I could feel it in my throat, one heavy thud after another, matching the rhythm of my steps as I started down the aisle. Every eye was on me. Hundreds of faces — guests Will had invited, people from the hockey league, wealthy patrons from the gallery, strangers who’d come to watch the grand event of the season. None of them knew. Not one of them understood that this wasn’t a celebration. It was a transaction. And I was the final signature. My dress — soft ivory lace, delicate pearl buttons, the fabric flowing around my ankles like water — felt heavier than it should. Every step forward felt like a step further away from myself. Away from the girl who painted in her studio, who fell in love by accident, who got pregnant one quiet night and

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 170: Minutes on the Clock

    Alex’s POVThe clock on the wall ticked so loud I could hear it over my own breathing. Every second stretched like a rubber band, thin and tight, ready to snap. Ten past six. Eleven. Twelve. Each one another breath closer to losing everything.“Alex, sit down. You’re making me nervous.”I didn’t sit. I couldn’t. I paced the length of the small room, back and forth, back and forth, my boots thudding against the floor like a second heartbeat. Kara was at the table, phones spread out in front of her, talking in low quick voices to people I’d never met, coordinating witnesses, lining up transport, making sure every single domino was in the right place before we pushed the first one over. Pierre sat beside her, hunched over his laptop, his face pale blue in the glow of three screens, fingers flying so fast they blurred.“It’s all set,” Kara said, covering the mouthpiece for a second. “Twelve witnesses confirmed. Journalists standing by. Police team on standby, twenty minutes out. Everythin

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 169: The Morning of the Lie

    Emily’s POVI woke up before the sun even thought about rising. The room was still wrapped in that deep, quiet dark that feels like it belongs to no one but the ghosts. For a second, I didn't know where I was. My body ached in places I couldn't name—shoulders tight, chest heavy, a dull throb behind my eyes. Then memory crashed over me all at once, cold and sharp, and my eyes flew open.Right here. Right now. Trapped.I sat up slowly, careful not to make a sound. The air felt different this morning. Heavier. Tense, like a string pulled so tight it hummed. Something had shifted. I could feel it in my bones.Then I saw it. Hanging in the corner, bathed in the faint gray light seeping through the curtains. The dress.My breath caught. It was beautiful—soft ivory lace, delicate pearl buttons running all the way down the back, silk that shimmered even in the dark. It looked like something a dream would wear. But to me? It was a cage. Every stitch a lock. Every fold a chain. A prison made of

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 168: Unlikely Allies

    Alex’s POV The knock came again — three quick, two slow — and my heart hammered so hard I could barely hear it over the blood rushing in my ears. I lowered the gun slowly, my fingers still tight around the grip, and backed toward the door. If this was a trap, it was a smart one. If it wasn’t… well, I was about to find out who Julian had trusted with the rest of our lives. “Alex? Are you in there?” Kara’s voice. Soft, shaky, but unmistakable. I exhaled a breath I felt like I’d been holding for days, my knees nearly giving out. I reached out, turned the lock, and pulled the door open. Kara stood there, her coat pulled tight around her, eyes wide and bright with fear. Beside her was Pierre — the gallery owner, the man who had discovered Emily, who had always been kind to her. He looked tired, older than I’d ever seen him, holding a folder against his chest like a shield. “Thank God,” Kara breathed, stepping inside before I could even speak, grabbing my good arm and looking me up an

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 167: The Signal

    Emily’s POVThe second Alex vanished through that door and the sirens tore the night apart, the whole place turned into a madhouse. I stood frozen at my window, watching red and blue lights flash everywhere, hearing shouts boom down the halls, boots pounding up the stairs and slamming against doors. Guards ran past my room three, four, five at a time—guns in their hands, faces hard, eyes wild. The whole building locked down tight as a vault. And Julian was gone.I pressed my forehead against the cold glass, searching the darkness for any sign of them. Did he make it? Did they catch him? Is Julian still alive? Every second stretched like an hour. Every shadow looked like a threat.The door burst open behind me so hard it banged against the wall. I spun around, heart hammering so hard I thought it would give out. Will stood there, chest heaving, hair messy, his usually perfect suit wrinkled and askew. He looked wild—eyes wide, cheeks flushed, trembling all over with rage and fear.“Wher

    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
