last update Last Updated: 2025-11-30 18:43:31

Nicole's POV

When Mellisa must have noticed that I couldn't even get my eyes off the display on the screen, she asked, “Is it about the display? What does it have to do with you?”

“Yeah, it is.” I managed to say through tight teeth, forcing it all out.

Then she went on to explain. “This display has been here since yesterday. It has also been everywhere on Facebook. Oh! You wouldn't have seen it for the fact that you hardly check the trending news on social media platforms like you already mentioned. I learned that the guy in question is the quarterback hockey star of one of the famous colleges in town, representing the national team or whatever…

Anyway, I think it's a paid advert from couples who want their marriage to trend or something. It's a normal thing that people do. So, how does it have anything to do with you in the first place?”

“Melisa, it has everything to do with me because this is the sand Brad I was talking to you about.”

My hands trembled now, and a small, ugly heat cr

  • 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

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 105 — 3 whole months?

    Nicole’s POVAfter seeing how helpless Brad looked and all, in his condition right there in the bed; all I wished, hoped and prayed was that he gets well soon. Because honestly, even if he didn't care to continue our relationship after this, then it's fine. Besides no one will wish his worst enemy this, let alone a man that I once loved.I sat there, feeling less beside the machines that were literally helping him breathe. His chest rose and fell, but it wasn’t… his normal breathing. It was slow, dragged, like the air had to fight before it got in.Because even though the nurse tried to give us their words with regards to his health, it could only take the Grace of God for Brad to survive because I know for security reasons, they might not really say how complicated his condition is at the moment.“Nicole… sit,” Mellisa whispered, gently pressing my shoulder down when she noticed I’d stood again without even realising.“I can’t just sit,” I muttered. “Look at him. This is not… this is

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 104 — Mrs Jasper wouldn't seize from being a bit*h.

    Nicole’s POV“I’m surprised to see you,” Mrs Jasper said, and I was surprised that she managed to keep her words slightly polite. “You weren’t on the list, you know right?”For a second, I thought my knees would give way and my body already knew it. My shoulders tightened on their own, like my bones were bracing for impact.Nicole, don’t shake. Don’t give her that.“I… I’m not here to cause trouble, ma'am.” I answered quickly, words tumbling out before fear swallowed them. “I just— I heard of what happened. So, I just felt it was right to come see him. I wanted to see if he was—” My voice broke a little, and I swallowed. “If he’s okay.”I folded my hands, and I felt my fingers knotting together so I wouldn’t reach for anything stupid—like her approval.“It’s fine,” she said, and the way she said it didn’t sound fine at all. “His condition is actually critical and given the publicity, I felt that I should be careful with whom I permit in here and that was why I instructed that only Bia

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 103 — Not expecting to see her here.

    Mrs. Jasper’s POVI had wanted to step out only for a moment after I got a quick call from my lawyer with regards to a check on a transfer since I already left the nurse with one instruction: ‘no visitors except Bianca and me, should be allowed to be here to see Brad.’ You know, I meant it with regards to Brad's present condition. When you’ve built a plan this particular, you don’t leave wiggle room for surprises.So when the nurse came in, breathless and apologetic, saying someone was at the hospital requesting to come see Brad, I paused. My first thought was Bianca, of course.“Is it Bianca?” I asked, already steering my voice to neutral.“No, ma’am,” the nurse said. She’d been leaning in, looking at me as if she was waiting for me to ask who the person was; I didn’t like the way she looked at me — like she expected me to be cross. I was, but composed. Anger has to be economical when you’re protecting something fragile.“Then tell them the instructions,” I said, sharp. “Only Bianca
