Bradley’s POV

"You need hobbies, Brad. Or friends. Or maybe a goldfish," Natalie announced, leaning against my kitchen island while balancing a spoon on the tip of her nose. "Because watching you wander around this house like a haunted Victorian ghost is giving me seasonal depression."

I paused with my coffee mug halfway to my mouth, giving her a flat look. "I have plenty of friends, Natalie. I have an entire locker room full of teammates. And I have a job."

  • Divorced by the Hockey Captain   Chapter 110

    Author’s POVBy eight in the morning, Rachelle’s face was on every screen from Manhattan to Toronto.She had timed it like a military drop.The studio cameras had caught every deliberate flicker of pain. She had worn that cream knit dress, kept her makeup almost bare, and sat in that plush armchair looking like a woman who had bled in private while the world called her a villain."Bradley and I were kids together," she had told Julianne, her voice cracking with just enough sorrow to make the host lean forward. "Our families shared summers in Maine. When his grandfather passed and... and those legal conditions were put into place... I had to respect his choice. I never wanted to hurt Tabitha. I only ever wanted the people I love to be safe."God, I was brilliant, Rachelle thought, curled up on her sectional with an iced latte, refreshing her tablet every thirty seconds.She hadn't uttered a single word about Victor.She hadn't mentioned paying fifty grand to scrub servers or leaking Ta

  • Divorced by the Hockey Captain   Chapter 109

    Tabitha’s POVI spotted him the second the elevator doors slid open on the third floor.Bradley was sitting in the corner of the obstetrics waiting room, looking so out of place among the pastel wallpaper and pamphlets on infant latching.I stopped in front of his chair, leaning slightly to ease the ache in my lower back, biting the inside of my cheek to kill a smirk."Are you nervous?" I asked.Bradley jerked his head up, his dark eyes instantly locking onto mine before sweeping down to my belly. He stood up fast and smoothed down the front of his jacket."No," he grunted.His knee gave another twitch.I tilted my head, looking down at his boots, then back to his face. "Right. Of course not. That's why you're vibrating hard enough to trigger a seismic alert."A faint, sheepish color crept up his neck. "Just making sure we weren't late.""We're twenty minutes early, Bradley.""Early is on time," he muttered, though the tense line of his mouth softened as he reached out, hovering a lar

    Bradley’s POV"You need hobbies, Brad. Or friends. Or maybe a goldfish," Natalie announced, leaning against my kitchen island while balancing a spoon on the tip of her nose. "Because watching you wander around this house like a haunted Victorian ghost is giving me seasonal depression."I paused with my coffee mug halfway to my mouth, giving her a flat look. "I have plenty of friends, Natalie. I have an entire locker room full of teammates. And I have a job.""Teammates don't count, that's just coworker Stockholm syndrome," she shot back, fixing me with that terrifying eleven-year-old stare that saw right through my skull. "And working out until your eyeballs bleed isn't a social life. You spend eighty percent of your evening staring at your phone waiting for Tabby to text you back. It's tragic."My stomach gave an uncomfortable twist. "Have you been discussing my pathetic personal life on your little fan account again?"Natalie immediately found the pattern on the floor tiles fascinat

    Author’s POV Ava spent twenty minutes convincing her bathroom mirror that this was purely an investigative exercise.“Field research,” she muttered, adjusting the collar of an emerald-green silk blouse beneath her charcoal blazer. “You are assessing behavioral patterns. You are determining whether Julian Darlington is actually an intriguing human being or if you’ve just developed a Pavlovian response to high-end carbohydrate delivery.”She dabbed a touch of berry gloss on her lips, cursed herself for checking her hair three times, and grabbed her clutch.Naturally, Darlington noticed the effort the second she slid into the leather passenger seat of his coupe.He didn’t make a scene about it while navigating through the downtown traffic, nor when he crammed his low-slung car into an impossibly narrow spot beside a loading bay with his usual infuriating nonchalance.He waited until they were tucked into a quiet booth at a candlelit French bistro, halfway through a plate of seared scal

  • Divorced by the Hockey Captain   Chapter 106

    Tabitha’s POV I stood in my hallway, staring down into the little white paper bag Bradley had practically shoved into my stomach.Peeking out from the pastel tissue paper was a tiny, heather-gray cotton sleeve.I looked up at him. He was hovering on my doormat, massive shoulders filling the frame, canvas jacket still smelling like cold autumn wind, looking entirely too proud of himself.“You went shopping for a baby?” I asked, my voice dry.“I can buy clothes, Tabby,” he grunted, reaching down to unlace his boots. “I have credit cards. It was on sale.”“On sale,” I repeated, pulling the tiny garment from the tissue. I held it up between two fingers. Right across the chest was a cartoon illustration of a crossed pair of vintage hockey sticks beneath the words ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.I leveled a deadpan stare at his face. “You bought a onesie with a hockey stick on it.”“It’s tasteful.”“It’s ridiculous, Bradley.”“You haven’t even seen the back,” he countered, crossing his arms with an o

  • Divorced by the Hockey Captain   Chapter 105

    Author’s POV Four days.Four goddamn days, and Bradley Norwood hadn’t made a single sound.Rachelle paced across the white fur rug in her bedroom, her silk robe dragging against the floor, her phone clutched tight in her grip.Nothing.No televised press conference. No furious midnight calls demanding to know why she had leaked Tabitha’s sealed juvenile files. No emergency statements trying to protect his precious family name.Just silence. Cold, arrogant silence.He’s ignoring me, she thought, the realization burning through her veins. He thinks I’m just a barking dog on the sidewalk. He thinks he can tuck Tabitha away in that shabby little brownstone, buy her groceries, play daddy to that blue-haired brat, and wait for me to tire myself out.An argument she could handle. A screaming match she could manipulate. If Bradley had stormed in here accusing her of ruining Tabitha’s life, she would have cried, played the betrayed victim, and twisted his guilt until he apologized.But this d
