Sophia’s POV

The day had barely ended, but the whispers from the students hadn’t stopped. Every time I walked past a group, someone snickered, or worse, looked at me with that pitiful, mocking smile people give when they think you’ve fallen too far to get back up.

And you know what? I hated it.

Did I just say hate? No! I despised that with every fiber in me.

Rowan had gone silent since the incident, barely saying a word as we left the field as the crowd all had their eyes on us when we wanted to discuss our next move. I didn’t even need to look at him to know his ego had taken a harder hit than mine. His jaw was tight the whole walk out and his hands buried in his pockets like he was fighting the urge to punch something.

We didn’t even bother to talk until much later that evening, when the crowd had finally dispersed and we could breathe without feeling everyone’s eyes on us.

I spotted him leaning against the railing outside the back of the auditorium, having a half-burned cigarette b

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 136 — He threatens to expose me.

    Bianca's POV"How did it go?" Josh foolishly asked, the moment he opened the door while I had knocked heavily on the door as if I had wanted to pull down the door.The question hit me like a slap. Like he'd just asked the dumbest thing anyone could possibly ask right now.I had just got back so angry from the hospital, with Leo. And I decided to come to Josh's place first because honestly he was the only person I felt that I would rant to, at least, knowing that my secret was safe with him and the fact that he has been part of this all along.My hands were still shaking from how hard everything played out right there at the hospital. From the little withdrawal tough times Brad gave to when Nicole came in . And so, with that my jaw hurt from clenching it so tight. Everything about today had gone wrong. I mean, everything. And here he was, standing in his doorway, asking me how it went like we were tal

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 135 — What if his mum is also involved in this too?

    Nicole's POV"You ain't saying anything." Brad called my attention. "I asked if the detective has gotten back to you with regards to the findings on Bianca."His voice pulled me back from wherever my mind had wandered off to. I looked at him, at the way he was watching me with those eyes that looked like they missed nothing even with the amnesia.I hesitated a little before saying. "Nope, he has not. He is still on it, Brad." I said but I could bet that my demeanor said the stark opposite.The lie felt heavy and wrong on my tongue, like it didn't belong there. Because I know for a fact that Brad deserved the truth. He deserved to know what was happening in his own life, even if that truth was still complicated for now."Why are you lying to me?" Brad asked me.My heart skipped a beat immediately. How did he know? How could he tell? Or did he sense anything?"How exactly?" I asked him."You just said that the detective hasn't gotten back to you but your facial expression said the oppos

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 134 — Keeping my cool.

    Nicole's POVJust as I got to the entrance of Brad's hospital room, I tried to open the door right away.Guess what? Yeah, you guessed right. Bianca was at the other side of the door as she tried to exit the room.And you know the funniest part of it all. She was standing right there with Leo. The same boy that she wants to push the narrative that Brad fathered him after she faked a DNA result, just like Detective Joe had disclosed.My stomach did a weird flip. Seeing them together like that and seeing Leo's little hand in hers, it made everything Detective Joe had told me feel suddenly real. Like, it was all too real.But I couldn't let it show. I couldn't let Bianca see even the slightest shift of what I knew."Hello, Bianca." I greeted her casually the moment I got in.She looked at me like I was dirt on her shoe. Her eyes narrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. Then she just turned her head away.She actually snubbed me big time but it didn't mean anything to me. This wasn

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 133 — Why is Brad acting so tough?

    Bianca's POVI held Leo's hand as we walked down the hospital corridor toward Brad's room. My heels clicked against the floor, echoing in the quiet hallway. Leo's small hand felt warm in mine, and I could feel him keeping pace beside me without any fuss.He was ready and I was ready too. So, I strongly believe that this was going to work this time.It was left with no choice, if not to work with and it had to work.We stopped right outside Brad's door. I took a breath, smoothed down my dress and looked down at Leo. He looked up at me with those attractive eyes, looking all calm and focused and not a trace of nervousness. Just pure professionalism wrapped up in a four-year-old body."Ready?" I whispered.He nodded once.I pushed the door open and stepped inside, pulling Leo gently with me.Brad was sitting up in bed, his back against the pillows. He looked better than the last time I'd seen him. Less pale but more alert. His eyes moved to us the moment we entered."Hi, Brad." I said, p

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 132 — I knew that she was up to something.

    Nicole's POV"Hello!" I responded the moment my phone rang and I noticed that the caller was the undercover detective, Mr. Joe, as he preferred to be addressed.His voice came through, steady but urgent. "I think I have gotten some useful information and although we are still working on many things already, I will need to come over to enlighten you on the latest so far. But I need to see you because there is crucial information you need to get to know before things get out of hand. We are trying to get the remaining documents that would make our claims more legal before we think of arrest or any other thing but then, I think you have a part to play as well."My heart skipped. A part to play? What did that even mean?"It's fine, detective. I heard all you said, we can see in our house, right?""Sure, any place where I will not be seen publicly and so I think your house is a great idea, then.""Alright, when can you come over?""In about thirty minutes. Is that okay?""Yes, that works."

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 131 — That settles it.

    Bianca's POV"Welcome back to our home." I said to Leo the moment I unlocked the house as we just got back.I pushed the door open and stepped aside to let him walk in first. His small luggage rolled behind him, the wheels squeaking slightly against the floor. He looked around, his eyes scanning the living room like he was trying to remember if everything was the same as before.It probably was. Nothing much had changed since he left. Except maybe me. I'd gotten more desperate. More willing to do whatever it took to get what I needed.We headed right to the sitting room, "please make yourself comfortable in the dining room." I said to him and so I served him the food we got from a restaurant on our way back.I'd picked up something quick on the drive home. Although nothing fancy, just enough to keep him fed and comfortable. A happy kid was a cooperative kid, and I needed Leo in the best mood possible for what was coming.He sat down at the table, his legs barely reaching the floor. I
