Brad’s POV

I got to the space where my mum had her tinted glass car parked, thinking I’d only help her with her reading glasses. Even though I had earlier suspected she was up to something with Nicole in there, which was why I hurriedly got here and was hoping to get inside quickly to meet them. Honestly, I expected to see her driver inside, since there was no way she’d drive all the way here herself. She never did things like that. Still, with how things had been going—her showing up suddenly, throwing herself into my business with Nicole—I already knew she didn’t mean well. But the truth? I didn’t care. Nicole mattered more than whatever games she thought she was playing as it's my duty to protect her.

I pulled at the rear door, not expecting much. I just wanted to confirm my mum’s driver was inside so I could pick up the glasses. But when the door opened—

I froze.

Sitting there like she owned the damn world was the last person I expected to see. I even had to pause for a second to

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 116 — How am I meant to explain this?

    Bianca’s POV“Who could that be?” Josh asked abruptly, lowering his voice the moment he noticed the sudden tension in my body and all over my face. I swallowed hard, my heart already beating faster than it should.“I wouldn’t know exactly,” I replied, forcing my tone to remain calm even though my thoughts were racing. “But the only person that keeps coming to my mind is Mrs. Jasper… Brad’s mum.”Josh’s brows pulled together. “She’s coming here?”“She mentioned something earlier,” I said carefully. “She said she might come so we could discuss some things. I didn’t know she was serious. Or that it would be today.”Another knock landed on the door.My stomach dropped.“I’m just guessing,” I added quickly, almost to reassure myself. “But if it turns out to be her and she finds out you’re here… she won’t take it lightly with me.”Josh exhaled slowly. “Then let’s not take chances. What do we do now?”For a split second, my mind went blank.Honestly, I really didn’t know.But panic has a wa

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 115 — The unexpected visit.

    Bianca’s POVI was at Brad’s house — my house too, technically — since we officially got contract-married. Even though I hardly stayed here anymore since he had been in the hospital, the place still answered to my presence. At least on paper.The room smelled faintly like him. Clean and all masculine.I had practically searched every corner of his bedroom, bending down, opening drawers, pulling files out, stacking them back in frustration — all to no avail.“Oh shit,” I grunted under my breath, straightening slowly as irritation crawled up my spine.If wishes were horses, who would ride on them?I had gone through every file in his book drawer, one after the other. Training schedules, sponsorship documents, medical reports and old contracts that meant nothing to me. I actually know that once I laid my hands on a tangible document, something real or let's say, anything solid, then I would find a way to make him sign it.Especially now…now that he didn’t remember much from the past.Kno

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 114 — Private session with the therapist.

    Brad’s POV“How are you doing today, Mr. Brad Jasper?” the therapist asked the moment he walked in for the morning session in my room at the hospital.I shifted slightly on the chair, adjusting myself the way they’d taught me to do that in a slow movement and nothing rushed. I noticed I still did things carefully, like my body didn’t trust itself fully yet. Honestly, not being able to remember from my past tends to give me so much concern but then, I just need to live with it, knowing that it won't last forever like the doctors always said to me.“I’m… okay,” I finally answered. “At least, I think I am.”He smiled, the easy kind that didn’t feel forced. Dr. Reynolds had that effect on people. He never rushed his questions or filled silence with noise. He let things sit until you were ready to talk.“That’s a fair answer,” he said, settling into the chair opposite me. “Better than pretending you’re great when you’re not.”I gave a small nod. “Some days feel clearer than others.”“And t

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 113 — I Deserve some level of peace.

    Nicole’s POVBy the time I was almost home, my chest felt tight in a way that had nothing to do with the walk and everything to do with what I’d just left behind.The hospital doors had barely closed behind me before the noise in my head started again. Bianca’s voice. Mrs Jasper’s sharp tone. The look on Brad’s face—confused, caught between people who seemed to know more about his life than he did.I pulled my phone out of my bag and called Mellisa before I could overthink it.I couldn’t afford to be alone with my thoughts tonight.She picked up on the second ring. “Nicole?”“I’m on my way home,” I said, trying to sound steady. “Can you… can you come over?”There was a pause, short but telling. “Of course. I just got back from work. I’ll be there in a bit.”By the time I got home, kicked off my shoes, and dropped my bag on the couch, my head was already throbbing. I barely had time to change before I heard a knock at the door.Mellisa walked in with that familiar look of concern she w

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 112 — Hypocrisy in the highest order.

    Mrs. Jasper’s POVI couldn’t hide the shock that washed through me the moment I walked into Brad’s hospital room and the first person my eyes settled on was Bianca.For a second, I honestly thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.She stood there too comfortably for someone who had avoided this place for two whole months. Her posture was straight, her hair neat and her expression arranged — not the look of a lady who had rushed here out of concern, but one who had rehearsed her entrance.Brad was awake, leaning slightly against the pillows, his gaze shifting between faces like someone still trying to piece together a puzzle with missing parts. And there she was, right in front of him, claiming space she had not earned.My voice cut through the tension, interrupting whatever was happening right there. “Oh! Who do we have here?” I said, unable to stop myself. “So, you finally decided to come see Brad, right?”After a little while, Bianca turned slowly, like she had been expecting tha

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 111 — At the Hospital to See Brad

    Bianca’s POVI didn’t expect my chest to tighten the moment I stepped into the hospital.Although not necessarily because I cared.But the fact that the hospitals had a way of stripping pretenses bare. You know…the silence, the smell and the way everything felt like it was waiting on bad news.I squared my shoulders anyway.This was not the time to feel anything.At the receptionist desk, I said Brad’s name calmly, confidently — like someone who belonged there. A nurse glanced up, checked a screen, then nodded and pointed me toward the ward without asking questions.Good!That was exactly how this was supposed to go.When I pushed the door open, the first thing I noticed was the machines. The soft beeping and the low hum. The bed in the center of the room where Brad was lying.And then I saw Nicole.She was seated beside the bed, slightly leaned forward, her hand resting near Brad’s arm like it had always been there. Not dramatic…not theatrical. But it all felt all present.Something
