Rowan’s POV

“You know Brad’s family is rich, right?” I said, keeping my voice while Tony’s eyes tracked the envelope on the table like it was the most interesting thing in here. “And I think because he is from the Jaspers family, that is what makes him feel like he owns the world. You know, he must be thinking that’s his armor.”

“Yeah, I know but I still don't get your point right, Rowan.” He said.

“Ok, let's take it like this,” I snapped, then softened. “I’m asking you to help me to hack his account and when that is done, trust me he wouldn't have guts like he does…you can see the way he beats you up just because of the drive you returned to him, that's because he feels he has power and influence because of his family's wealth.”

He stared at me for a long moment, and I could see the math running behind his eyes. The pain on his face softened into calculation. “So what exactly do you want me to do? I’m not in for another hand-twisting job.”

“You won’t be,” I said. “You do this from th

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 71- Nicole rescued.

    Nicole’s POVThe room where I was forced in on Brad mum's order, smelled of dust and something metallic. My wrists burned where the rope bit in as my hands were still tied to my back while they made me sit in one of the seats here. And now every minute felt like an hour as I kept my eyes open because I was even too scared to close them for a second.“Still breathing,” one of the guys that were assigned to watch over me said. His tone had teeth in it.I tried to make my voice small. “Please… don’t… help me.” But it came out like a whisper that probably sounded like nothing.The bigger one crouched in front of me and then he leaned close enough that I could see the spit in the corner of his mouth. “Where’s your boyfriend now?” He smiled like he expected me to cry.I didn’t answer but then, the sound of his boots on the floor made my chest tighten.“Boss said we should wait for the signal,” another voice called from the doorway. “No touch until then.”“Lucky you,” the other sneered, stra

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 70 — The countdown that could break me.

    Brad’s POVI’d been standing in the same corner of the station for so long that my legs felt numb, but I couldn’t sit. Sitting would feel too close to waiting, and I couldn’t afford that. At least, not while Nicole was somewhere out there with hands tied behind her and fear crawling all over her.Every few seconds, I found myself walking back to the counter.“Has there been anything?” I asked again, forcing the words through a throat that felt too tight.The younger officer—Officer Daniel, as I had heard his colleague address him, looked up from the screen with the same calm and steady patience he’d been giving me since I arrived. “We’re on it, sir,” he said. “You’ll know the moment something pops up.”I nodded, but it didn’t help. My heartbeat stayed loud and stubborn in my ears.Another minute…another two.I walked back again. “You don’t understand,” I muttered, rubbing my palms against my jeans. “She’s in danger. My mum… she’s not herself when she’s angry. And this isn’t just anger

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 69 — The place she might never leave.

    Nicole’s POVThe moment I realized Brad’s car wasn’t behind us anymore, something inside me twisted so sharply that for a second I forgot I was the one tied up and was still the one being taken away.All I could think was—‘Brad.Where is Brad?Is he okay?Why isn’t the car behind us anymore?’The driver kept speeding, taking sharp turns like he was running from death itself, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the back windshield. Every bump made me jerk forward, but I still tried to push myself up, to see… to confirm something… anything.At one point, I caught a glimpse of another vehicle crossing into the lane behind us, just for a heartbeat…a flash of silver maybe and then Brad’s headlights just vanished and gone like that.Like the road swallowed him whole.My stomach dropped so hard I felt dizzy.“No… no, no, please…” I whispered, the panic thinning my voice into something fragile. “Slow down… please…”Mrs. Jasper didn’t even glance back. She turned her face slightly toward th

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 68 — The police report.

    Brad’s POVFor a few seconds after the hit, I didn’t even breathe but I still managed to have my eyes on the road, particularly in the direction my mum's drove but somehow, I can't even see a trace of them.The other car had slammed into the left side of my car hard enough to squeeze the metal used in the car's body, but my first instinct wasn’t to check myself as it was to yank the wheel and try to keep going, keep chasing them, keep Nicole in sight.But the car stuttered, coughed, and just died off like that.The engine made a sound like it was choking on its own frustration.I tried the ignition once, twice and a third time but nothing happened.“Come on… come on…” I muttered, hitting the steering wheel so hard my palm burned. “Not now, please not now…”I knew then — I wasn’t catching up with them in this car. At least, not like this.I shoved the car door open and stepped outside. My legs were shaky but nothing was broken. The side of the car was dented badly, metal pushed inward

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 67 — The race that could end everything.

    Nicole’s POVThe car jerked forward the instant Mrs. Jasper muttered, “Drive,” like my life meant nothing more than a piece of unwanted luggage she wanted to dispose of.The driver didn’t hesitate as he started the car and the tires screeched against the pavement, while my back slammed into the seat.They’d taken the palm off my mouth, but my hands were still tied behind me. My wrists burned from struggling, and the rope kept digging in deeper each time the car bumped.Through the back windshield, I saw Brad’s car swerving hard into the lane right behind us.My heart lodged somewhere high in my throat.He’s coming for me. God… Brad is really coming.From the side mirror, I saw the way he was driving wild, determined. Like he’d made up his mind to die first before letting them disappear with me.And that scared me more than the men in this car.“Mrs. Morgan… please,” I begged, my voice trembling so badly I could barely string words together. “Don’t do this. He’ll hurt himself. I’ll lea

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 66 — Nicole must be rescued.

    Brad’s POVI just got back from making the best dinner date preparation anyone could imagine in their entire life. It wasn’t like I couldn’t have made the arrangements over the phone. You know, of course I could but something in me wanted to be there physically, to check every tiny detail. The lighting, the music, the table arrangement and the exact placement of the dessert I knew Nicole would love.I wanted everything perfect for her or better still, for us.I’m ready… so ready to take this “baby girl treatment” thing to a whole different level for the absolute love of my life. If proving my love to her meant going overboard or acting like a fool in love, then I didn’t mind. I wanted her to feel chosen, safe, cherished and absolutely nothing less.I even drove home thirty minutes earlier than I told her. I wanted us to have enough time to get ready together before the dinner. Maybe I wanted to watch her get excited about it or maybe I wanted to see her blush when she realized it was
