On Thin Ice With You Chapter 139 - A Vow
Elias's body reacts before his brain can. He straightens his spine, his shoulders broadening as he meets the screen with a steady, unblinking gaze. "I could never break her dreams just to satisfy my own selfishness, sir. I want her to live a life without a single 'what-if.'"He clears his throat. "Right now, I'm in the prime of my career. My contract is far from over, and I haven't reached the peak of what I want to achieve on the ice. I'm not ready to walk away from hockey yet.""We've made a pact," Mia interjects, her hand sliding back into Elias's, their fingers interlacing in a tight, desperate grip. "When I go back, we'll do long-distance. We're young. We'll work for our respective futures while we wait for our time.""Long-distance?" Alice's voice breaks in, her brow furrowed in classic maternal skepticism. To a mother, "long-distance" is often just a slow-motion car crash for a relationship.Ethan sighs. "Weston, an athlete's career is a cycle. It has an expiration date. What I
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 138 - Introduction
The silence that follows is deafening. The world stops spinning.It's an agonizing, bone-deep awkwardness. No one moves. No one speaks.Finally, the poise of the older generation wins out. Ethan recovers his dignity. He clears his throat, offering a polite, measured look at the camera. "That must be Elias. Hello there."Elias snaps out of his trance. He gathers his composure, stepping toward the sofa. He leans down, bringing his face into the frame next to Mia's, his broad shoulder brushing against hers.He looks directly into the lens, meeting Ethan's gaze. Then, he draws a breath and speaks."Buonasera. È un piacere conoscervi (Good evening. It's a pleasure to meet you)," Elias says, his accent slightly stilted but surprisingly melodic.Mia goes rigid. Her jaw literally drops.When did he find the time to stage a linguistic coup?On the screen, Ethan and Alice look equally floored. The "pure-blooded Canadian" who was supposed to only speak English and French just dropped a greeting
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 137 - Parents' Call
The sheer weight of Elias's respect for her career choice hits Mia harder than any grand romantic gesture ever could.In a world where men like him—powerful, wealthy, and used to getting their way—usually demand total surrender, his unwavering support is a revelation.She realizes, with a sudden, that she hasn't just chosen a lover, she's chosen a partner who is ready to walk beside her for the rest of their lives, no matter which continent they end up on.That sense of security is intoxicating. It's the kind of anchor that allows her to fly.The very next morning, Mia decides to strike while the iron is hot. She meets with Professor Williams in his sun-drenched office, her heart steady as she politely declines the prestigious PhD fellowship.She doesn't waste time. From the university, she heads straight to the Training Center, catching Coach Danny near the rink with Anderson hovering nearby. With a quiet, professional grace, she turns down the offer for a full-time position as the R
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 136 - No More Secrets
Night falls over Toronto. Inside the penthouse, the air is still thick with the scent of spent passion and the heavy, rhythmic hum of two hearts slowing down in unison.Mia is still reeling from the high, her body a tangle of soft limbs draped over Elias's hard, muscular frame.She can feel the vibration of his heartbeat against her cheek, a steady drum that usually lulls her to sleep. But as his fingers begin to trace lazy, possessive circles against her hip—already signaling a restless desire for a second round—she catches his hand, pinning his wandering fingers."The property manager called," she murmurs, her voice raspy and laced with the lingering aftershocks of pleasure. "They said my apartment is finally fixed."The change in Elias is instantaneous. He recovers quickly, forcing his muscles to relax as he tries to maintain a mask of casual indifference."Oh?" He clears his throat, his blue-gray eyes narrowing as he stares at the ceiling, carefully avoiding her gaze. "Right. I…th
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 135 - Bright Futures
Spring comes to Toronto the way it always does.The snow retreats by degrees, leaving behind wet pavement and the first tentative green along the university's pathways. The city shakes itself out.Mia notices it in the light first, the way it comes through the apartment windows, landing differently on the kitchen counter, on the small things she's accumulated during the months of living in a space that began as temporary and has become, quietly, familiar.At the training facility, the tempo has been climbing for weeks.The regular season is in its final stretch, every match carrying playoff implications, and the atmosphere in the building reflects it.Mia moves through it with the easy authority of someone who's been part of the rhythm long enough.But she's not expecting Danny to find her on Tuesday.The meeting room is small and functional. Danny settles into the chair across from her."I want to thank you," he begins. "On behalf of the team. Not just for Weston's numbers—for all of
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 134 - Secret Nest
The Toronto Raiders' locker room is thick with post-victory adrenaline and relentless banter, a space where the players' physical exhaustion is masked by rowdy, infectious energy.From the doorway, Coach Danny and Anderson observe the chaotic scene with the weary, fatherly affection of men watching overactive toddlers."The day after tomorrow...that's the last game of the month, isn't it?" Danny asks, his eyes tracking the players.Anderson adjusts his glasses. "Yes. Shouldn't you know the schedule better than I do?"Danny sighs, shaking his head. "I'm just realizing these boys need a break.""Etched deep," Anderson agrees, tapping his clipboard."The season is a meat grinder," Danny mutters, his gaze settling on a specific corner of the room. "But look at Elias. The kid hasn't changed a bit."Anderson follows his gaze to Elias. While the other men look haggard, Elias is radiant, his movements fluid and precise. "There's a difference between men and gods, Danny." He checks his watch.
