Contract Marriage with My Hockey Alpha Someone In
CHAPTER Eighty EightSomeone Inside the HouseScarlett’s POVThe message stayed on my phone long after I had stopped reading it, because even though the words were simple, I could feel the warning behind them, and the fact that someone knew we were searching for Gabriel meant that whoever had been hiding the truth was beginning to realize that Ryan and I were no longer willing to accept the stories we had been given.Ryan stood beside me, staring at the screen.“We need to find out who sent this.”“I agree.”He looked at me.“But we have to be careful.”“I know.”Before he could say anything else, we heard the sound of a car stopping outside the mansion.Eleanor looked toward the front door.A few moments later, the door opened.Gabriel walked inside.Ryan immediately became tense.“What are you doing here?”Gabriel looked at him before turning toward me.“I need to speak with Scarlett.”Ryan stepped forward.“You could have called.”“I did not think a phone call would be safe.”That
Contract Marriage with My Hockey Alpha The Secret She Kept
CHAPTER Eighty SevenThe Secret She KeptScarlett’s POVI barely spoke during the drive back to the mansion because my aunt’s words were still running through my mind, and although I finally understood why she had stayed away from me, I still could not completely accept that the people I had spent years blaming had been trying to protect me in their own way.Ryan sat beside me, watching me quietly.“You don’t have to think about everything tonight,” he said.I gave him a tired smile.“I know, but my mind doesn’t seem to understand that.”He laughed softly.“Then let it think for a while.”I turned toward him.“You really think my aunt was telling the truth?”“I think she believes what she told you.”“That’s not the same thing.”“No, it isn’t.”He took my hand.“That’s why we keep looking.”I nodded.When we arrived at the mansion, we walked inside together, but before we could reach the stairs, Eleanor was already waiting for us.She looked at the letter in my hand.“You spoke to her.
Contract Marriage with My Hockey Alpha You Are Looking In The Wrong Place
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTYou Are Looking in the Wrong PlaceScarlett’s POVThe journey back from Adeline’s house felt completely different from the journey there because when we had left the mansion earlier that evening, I had been carrying questions that had followed me for years, while now I was carrying something much heavier and much more precious, because for the first time since I was a child, I had heard my mother’s voice clearly enough to understand that she had never stopped loving me, even though knowing that she had wanted to come back only made the years without her feel more painful.I sat beside Ryan in the back seat while the lights from the road passed across his face, and neither of us spoke for several minutes because there were moments when words were simply not enough to explain what was happening inside us.My mother’s voice was still in my head.I never abandoned you.I closed my eyes and rested my head against the window.I wanted to believe those words completely,
Contract Marriage with My Hockey Alpha The Name In The Photograph
CHAPTER EIGHTY FiveThe Name in the PhotographScarlett’s POVFor several seconds after Adeline spoke the name, I could not move, because the sound of it seemed to fill the entire room while my mind struggled to connect it to the face in the photograph, and even though I had never personally known the man standing beside my mother, something about his name felt familiar enough to make the back of my neck grow cold.“Gabriel,” Adeline repeated quietly, watching my face carefully as though she already knew how difficult the truth would be for us to accept.Ryan stared at her.“Gabriel what?”Adeline took a slow breath.“Gabriel Hart.”Ryan’s expression changed immediately.I turned toward him.“You know him?”He remained silent for a moment before finally nodding.“I knew him when I was younger.”Adeline looked at him.“Your father trusted him.”Ryan’s jaw tightened.“My father trusted a lot of people.”“Gabriel was more than a friend.”“What was he?”“Your father’s business partner.”R
Contract Marriage with My Hockey Alpha She Left
CHAPTER EIGHTY Five The Woman Who LeftScarlett’s POVThe address on Ryan’s phone remained on the screen for several seconds, and even though it was only a collection of numbers and a street name, I could not explain why looking at it made my heart beat faster, as if some part of me already knew that whatever waited at the end of that road would change everything we thought we understood about my past.Ryan stood beside the table with his phone still in his hand, his expression serious as he read the message again, while Eleanor remained near the window with her walking stick resting against her leg, and Mr. Alden looked more worried than I had ever seen him before.I looked at all of them before finally speaking.“Who lives there?”Mr. Alden took a slow breath before answering.“Nobody, at least not officially.”Ryan looked at him.“What does that mean?”“The property belongs to an old friend of mine, but it has been empty for years, although someone has been maintaining it from a d
Contract Marriage with My Hockey Alpha The Locked Room
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVEThe Locked RooomRyan’s POVThe drive back to the mansion was quieter than the journey to the old house.Neither Scarlett nor I spoke much because there was too much to think about, and every answer we had found seemed to bring another question with it.The small brass key rested in Scarlett’s hand.She had barely let it go since we found it.Every few minutes, she looked down at it as though she expected it to explain itself.I understood how she felt.The key was small enough to disappear inside my palm, yet it had become one of the most important things we had ever found.It was connected to her mother.It was connected to the day Scarlett disappeared.And somehow, it was connected to my family.I looked at Scarlett.“You should rest when we get home.”She shook her head.“I don’t think I can.”“You’ve been through a lot today.”“I know.”She looked out the window.“But I feel like we’re finally close.”I reached across the seat and took her hand.“We are.”She l
