Divorced by the Hockey Captain Chapter 64
Bradley's POV"I will personally wipe his entire corporate firm off the state registry."The words tore out of my throat, rough and jagged as broken glass, the moment I read the district memo on the dining table.My pulse was pounding behind my temples like a jackhammer. Richard Vance. A smug, trust-fund CEO who thought throwing his weight around at an elementary school would intimidate a pregnant woman who had survived more hell by age sixteen than he'd see in three lifetimes.The formal complaint didn't just question her teaching credentials—it called Tabitha "emotionally unstable," citing her "fraught domestic situation" and claiming a woman carrying a high-risk pregnancy under public scrutiny was a safeguarding liability to impressionable second graders."Brad, stop. Step back from the table," Marcus commanded, grabbing my shoulder with an iron grip before I could grab my car keys. "You cannot go hunting a school board donor like a rogue enforcer. You storm into the district offic

Tabitha's POVThe photograph hit my screen before Ava could slap her hand over the glass.It was me.Ten years old, sitting on the edge of a stained mattress in a communal foster home bedroom. My collarbones were jutting out beneath a faded, oversized yellow t-shirt that had clearly belonged to someone else first. My hair was a tangled, unbrushed rat's nest, and my eyes—wide, dark, hollowed out with terror—were staring straight into the flash like a cornered animal waiting for the strike.God. I hadn't seen that picture in over fifteen years. I thought those files were buried in a locked basement under judicial seal.Beneath the image, the online comment section was a slaughterhouse.Look at her. Playing the tragic orphan card to secure a multi-million-dollar bag.She learned how to manipulate people before she hit puberty. Trailer trash climbing into society.Bradley Norwood got played by a professional victim. Pathetic.My thumb hit the side button with a click.The screen went blac

Bradley's POV"Tabitha! Is it true your father tried to extort the Norwood family?!""Miss Dawson, are you faking the pregnancy to secure the divorce settlement?!""Bradley, is your ex-wife harboring a convicted felon?!"The muffled, chaotic shouting bled straight through the double-paned glass of the front parlor window.I stood behind the heavy linen curtains, my fingers pinching the fabric just enough to look out at the street. What was supposed to be a quiet, anonymous residential block was now a full-blown war zone. Three broadcast news vans were idling double-parked along the curb, their satellite dishes extended into the overcast sky. At least forty paparazzi and tabloid reporters were swarming the iron front gate, flashing telephoto lenses, shoving boom mics against the bars, and practically climbing over each other like rabid animals.They're shouting her name.Not mine. Hers.They weren't out there asking about the upcoming playoffs or my hockey stats. They were baying for b

Tabitha's POVFrank had actually come.He had walked down the private alleyway behind this very house, stood in the dark with tools in his hands, and tried to pry open the iron gate to get to me.Jesus Christ.Just thinking about it made my skin crawl with an icy, sickening tremor. If Bradley hadn't tightened security... if Marcus hadn't put patrol cars on the loop... Frank would have made it into the courtyard. He would have been standing at the glass back doors while I slept upstairs."The charges are ironclad, Tabby," Ava told me late that night, sitting on the edge of my bed with a cup of chamomile tea. "Attempted breaking and entering, felony trespass, possession of burglary tools, plus the extortion messages we handed over from your phone. The judge denied bail twenty minutes ago. He's locked up tight. He isn't touching you again."I stared at the steam curling off my tea, my hands finally still.No bail. No threats. No shadowy boots climbing the stairs.For the first time in si

Bradley's POV"If you walk out of this room right now, Brad, you forfeit thirty-five million dollars in brand equity and hand the media the exact match they need to burn you to the ground."Marcus's hand clamped down on my bicep like a steel vise, his voice a frantic, desperate whisper right beside my ear.We were standing in the corner of the boardroom on the fortieth floor of the Global Sports Management tower. Across the long conference table, six senior vice presidents in charcoal suits were watching me, their fountain pens poised over multi-year endorsement renewal contracts.My phone was buzzing against my thigh. Marcus had just pulled me aside to show me the encrypted ping from Ava: Frank Miller just messaged Tabby. Sent a photo from her childhood. She's spiraling.My vision went red. Every muscle in my body coiled, screaming at me to shove Marcus out of the way, kick the glass doors open, and tear through downtown traffic until I had my hands wrapped around that bastard's thro

Tabitha's POVWhen I opened my eyes, the morning sun was cutting pale, gray streaks through the window blinds.Ava was sitting in the armchair right beside my bed, fully dressed in a dark knit sweater, holding a mug of black coffee that had gone stone-cold. She wasn't scrolling on her phone. She wasn't typing on her legal pad. She was just watching me, her expression grim, and dead silent.My heart immediately seized."Ava?" My voice was thick with sleep, a sudden spike of panic clawing at my throat. "What time is it? What happened?"Ava set her mug down on the nightstand with a soft, careful click. She leaned forward, reaching out to take both of my cold hands into hers, squeezing them tight."Tabby," she said, her voice dropping into a gentle, cautious tone that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up. "I need you to listen to me, and I need you to take a deep, steady breath before I say another word.""Who is it?" My chest heaved beneath the duvet. "Did the blogs le
