Nicole’s POV

Life without Brad hasn't been helping of any kind, knowing that he is now living with the woman who has a baby for him, there was no way things between us would be the same. I was honestly struggling so hard to be sane because it has never been easy for me, one bit.

It's no kid stuff how quiet my apartment has always been as I stay alone. Just in a way that reminded me of something missing. Maybe someone who is missing in my life, which is Brad.

But I’d been forcing myself to adjust, even though some days it felt like my chest was carrying a weight I didn’t sign up for. But life happens and I fully understand that.

So when I heard a knock, I paused.

I was in the restroom, and at first I thought maybe it was someone knocking from the neighbor’s door, but the sound came again and I could tell that it was right on my door.

I sighed, finished up quickly, washed my hands, and tucked away the small towel I used to dry them. Then I rushed toward the living room, already knowing

  • 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

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 110 — You get the gist.

    Bianca’s POVJust as the call came in, interrupting my moment with my man friend, Josh, I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I had just settled into the comfort of distraction — the kind that made me forget that Brad Jasper even existed, not alone he was battling with coma at the hospital or whatever they call it.But the moment I glanced at the screen and saw Mrs. Jasper's number flashing back at me right on my phone's screen, I almost hissed. My first instinct was to ignore it completely.Then another thought slid in my head immediately.What if she's calling because of the money?I straightened slightly and waved a warning finger at Josh.“I need to take this call,” I said under my breath. “Please don’t say a word till I’m done. I don’t want the caller to know that I’m with someone.”He raised a brow but nodded anyway, leaning back like he was settling in to watch a show.I picked the call quickly and placed it to my ear.“Is the money ready?” I asked immediately, without a preamble.The

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 109 — Agreement is Agreement

    Mrs. Jasper’s POV“Doctor, you mean Brad went into amnesia as a result of the coma?” I said, unable to hide the crack that slipped into my voice despite my best efforts.I had returned to the hospital with relief still sitting heavy in my chest after hearing that Brad had finally opened his eyes. That alone had felt like a miracle. But standing in the doctor’s office now, listening to the rest of the explanation, the relief slowly unraveled into something colder and sharper.“Yes,” the doctor replied calmly. “Some cases present like this. Post-traumatic amnesia is not unusual after a prolonged coma, especially when there has been head trauma.”I lowered myself into the chair opposite him, suddenly unsure of my legs.He continued, reading my silence. “Like it’s proven medically, there are still chances that he will regain his memories. This isn’t permanent in most cases. But recovery will depend on several factors.”I leaned forward slightly. “Factors like what?”“Consistency. Emotiona

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 108 — Yeah, he is in Amnesia!

    Nicole’s POVI noticed the slight uneasiness on the doctor and the nurses’ faces at a particular time while they were examining Brad, but I couldn’t place my head around what it was exactly. I think something was off as their facial expressions said it all — that silent exchange between medical professionals when they’ve just discovered something they don’t want to reveal too quickly.But whatever it was, I knew I’d hear it soon.When they finished the examination and stepped out of the room, one nurse stayed inside with Brad — maybe to monitor him closely. As soon as the doctor walked out and saw me waiting right there, he said, “Nicole, please… you need to follow me to my office.”My heart gave a small jump.He had never called me by my name before — it was always “young lady.”For him to suddenly personalize it meant the situation was serious, sensitive, or something he didn’t want to disclose in the hallway where anyone could overhear.“Okay, doctor… it’s fine,” I murmured and fol

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 107 — Trying to recall things.

    Brad’s POVFor what seemed like forever, it seemed like I wasn't just in control of anything about me.Just this heavy darkness that felt like thick water, like I was floating somewhere I couldn’t see or touch. Sometimes it felt like I was sinking, sometimes like I was just… suspended. No days. No nights. Just one long stretch of nothing that refused to end.But in between that nothing, there were moments.A warm pressure on my fingers.A soft voice is always near my ear.Someone saying things to me like it mattered.A light squeeze on my hand whenever the darkness tried to pull harder.But you know the worst part? I couldn’t move and I couldn’t answer either. But somewhere inside that fog, I felt it. The touches. The tiny tremors of someone crying near me. A voice that sounded like it was trying not to break.I didn’t know who and I didn’t know why all of this was happening. But somehow, I knew I wasn’t completely alone.Then, one moment was different.Instead of floating, my body su

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 106 — He Is Out of Coma!

    Nicole’s POV“Brad, it’s tomorrow already and you still haven’t opened your eyes or even spoken to anyone.” I whispered, brushing my thumb over the back of his hand like it would magically wake his nerves up. “I know your back must be aching from lying down all these while. You can do everyone and yourself a favour by responding to treatment fast so that you can at least get out of the coma.”I had said that same line a hundred times, maybe more. Sometimes in a whisper, sometimes in a shaky little laugh just to stay sane.Fast forward two months.I was right there again on his hospital bed’s left side, the chair that had practically molded to my shape by now. Mellisa was at work today, so it was just me. Honestly, it had been that way for most of these weeks. She came when she could, which I appreciated, but this room… this room had become my own tiny universe.Somehow I had managed to juggle lectures, assignments, and still show up here once in two days — or every day if my mind woul
