Ice In His Veins Chapter 32: The Engagement
The announcement went out on a Wednesday morning. Sebastian had wanted to keep it simple. A post on social media. A few words. But Julian pointed out that the media would find out anyway, and it was better to control the story than to let someone else control it. So they decided to do a short interview with a reporter they trusted. A woman named Kelly who had covered their press conference fairly. She came to the apartment, sat on the couch, and asked them questions. "Who proposed first?" Sebastian looked at Julian. "I did. In the kitchen. While making pasta." Kelly laughed. "Romantic." "The pasta boiled over," Julian said. "It was a mess." "But you said yes?" Julian smiled. "I said yes before he finished asking."The interview ended on a good note and both parties were happy with the outcome. The article came out that afternoon. The headline was simple: "Sebastian Cruz and Julian Frost Announce Engagement". The photo was one they had taken themselves... sitting on the couch
Ice In His Veins Chapter 31: The Proposal
It was an ordinary Tuesday. No candles, no flowers, no elaborate setup just Sebastian standing in the kitchen, making pasta, when Julian limped in from the living room, still in his sweatpants, his hair a total mess. Sebastian looked at him. Really looked at him. At the dark hair falling across his forehead. At the small smile that had become more frequent in the weeks since Richard was gone. At the way he moved, still careful, still healing, but lighter somehow. "You know I love you so much," Sebastian said. Julian looked up from pouring himself a glass of water. "I love you too. Why are you looking at me like that?" "Like what?" "Like you have something important you want to say." Sebastian turned off the stove. He set down the spoon. His heart was pounding, the way it did before a big game. But this was bigger than any game. "Remember at the lake? When I got down on one knee and made you promise?" Julian's expression shifted. "Yes." "I meant it. Every word."
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
