Ice In His Veins Chapter 30: The Aftermath
The days after Richard's arrest felt strange and somehow lighter, even if the world outside their windows looked exactly the same. Sebastian woke each morning still half-expecting the old tension to claw back in, but it never did. Not fully. A weight had lifted enough for breathing room, enough for hope.Julian slept later than usual, his body greedily claiming back years of stolen rest. Sebastian never woke him. He made coffee, sat by the window with the mug warm between his palms, and watched the city stir below. When his lawyer called, the news was good.“The league investigation is moving fast,” Chen said. “Richard’s lawyers are scrambling, but the evidence is ironclad. He’s not walking away from this.”“And the merger?”“Dead in the water. Shareholders voted this morning. They want nothing to do with Richard Frost. Your team is safe.”Sebastian exhaled, long and slow. “Thank you.”“Thank Julian,” Chen replied. “He did the hardest part.”♡♡♡♡♡Julian shuffled into the kitchen arou
Ice In His Veins Chapter 29: The Final Strike
The news broke on a Monday morning.Sebastian was at practice when his phone started buzzing continously. He ignored it at and focused on the drill, the ice, the rhythm of the game. But the buzzing did not stop. Louie skated over and tapped his shoulder."Cap. Your phone has been ringing for ten minutes non stop, it might be very important."Sebastian skated to the bench. He pulled his phone out of his bag. Forty-seven messages. Twelve missed calls from his agent, his lawyer, his mom and julian.He called Julian first."Sebastian." Julian's voice was tight. "Turn on the TV. Any channel."Sebastian walked to the locker room. He turned on the small screen mounted on the wall.Richard Frost was standing at a podium. His face was calm, controlled. But his eyes were wild."My son has been manipulated," Richard said. "He is not in his right mind. He has been led astray by someone who wants to destroy our family."Sebastian's blood went cold."I am asking the league to investigate Sebastian
Ice In His Veins Chapter 28: The Confrontation
The league office was cold and grey.Sebastian had been here before, for meetings about fines and suspensions. But this time felt different. This time, he was not the one in trouble. He was the one bringing the trouble.Julian sat beside him in the back seat of the car, the folder of evidence on his lap, his hand gripping Sebastian's. His knee was still healing, but he had insisted on coming. There was no way he was going to miss this. "You are quiet," Sebastian said. "I am thinking." "About what?" "About the last time I was in that building. My father brought me when I was eighteen. He wanted me to meet the commissioner. He said it was about my future." Julian's voice was flat. "It was about his future. I was just a prop." Sebastian squeezed his hand. "Not anymore." "No. Not anymore." The car stopped. They got out. The building loomed above them, glass and steel, the kind of place where powerful people made decisions that changed lives. Sebastian looked at Julian. "Ready?" J
Ice In His Veins Chapter 27: The Dossier
The apartment was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.Julian sat on the couch, his leg stretched out on a pillow, a stack of papers spread across the coffee table. His laptop was open beside him, the screen filled with spreadsheets and scanned documents and photographs of files he had taken years ago. He had been working for hours, organizing, cross-referencing, building the case.His knee ached. The physical therapy had helped, but sitting in one position for too long made it stiff. He ignored the pain and kept typing.Sebastian came in from the kitchen with two mugs of coffee. He set one in front of Julian and sat down beside him."You have been at this all day," Sebastian said."Almost there.""Almost where?"Julian looked up. His eyes were tired but bright. "Almost ready to destroy him."Sebastian set down his mug and looked at the papers. Bank statements. Email printouts. Photographs of documents. Witness statements typed up on clean white pages. There were so many that they
Ice In His Veins Chapter 26: The Recovery
The first week after surgery was the hardest for julian. He lay in the hospital bed, his leg elevated and wrapped in bandages, a machine beeping softly beside him. The pain was a constant dull ache that turned sharp whenever he tried to move. The nurses gave him medication to help with the pain, but it only dulled the edges. Sebastian stayed with him every single night. He slept in the hard plastic chair by the window, his neck crooked, his back sore but he did not complain. He just decided to stayed. “You should go home,” Julian said on the third night. “Go get a real sleep seb.” No juls, I am fine staying with you here. “Your back is going to give out.. you will break down.” You need rest too.“Then we will both be broken.” Julian almost laughed. But the pain was too much for him to smile talk more of laughing so he held it in.Sebastian moved closer to the edge of the bed and took Julian’s hand in his.“The doctor said the first week is the worst,” Sebastian said. “After
Ice In His Veins Chapter 25: The Injury Revealed
The game was against Seattle. Sebastian was on the ice, focused, trying to ignore the whispers from the crowd. Some fans still cheered for him. Others booed. He had learned to block it out and focus only on his game. Julian was on the bench, waiting for his shift. His knee had been bothering him all week, but he had hidden it. Wrapped it tight. Taken painkillers before every practice. Told Sebastian he was fine. But he was not. The pain had been getting worse for months now. The doctor's warning echoed in his head. If you keep playing, you risk permanent damage. But Julian could not stop. Not now. Not with the merger vote looming. Not with his father watching.His shift came. He jumped over the boards and skated to his position. The puck moved fast and Julian chased it into the corner, he planted his left leg to turn, and felt something snap. The pain was instant and blinding, it was so painful and unbearable that he didn'tknow when he scremed.He collapsed on the ice immediately,
