last update Fecha de publicación: 2026-08-30 06:59:11

Ava's words hit me harder than I'd like.

I've been mulling over what she said to me for the last two days, and my goodness, the guilt... The way my heart constantly twists with guilt each time I remember is starting to overwhelm me.

I genuinely didn't expect her to come at me like that but I guess I pushed her to her limits when I kept asking about the same Carmen that I betrayed.

I wish I had been able to say something to her before she left that day though. Sure, she has attended to me four m

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and thirty - six: It was bound to happen

    WHITNEY'You don't need to feel embarrassed about last night. You're my wife. It was bound to happen someday.'These were the last words Carl said to me before leaving me in his room—in a state of embarrassment and, perhaps, relief.I was utterly mortified by everything that happened last night, and I'm partly glad he reassured me when he noticed my unease.If you put aside the fact that he's a cold-hearted murderer, I think he's actually very sweet.The way he tended to me, cleaned me up, made me feel safe when I was completely out of it, and even kissed my forehead after reminding me that I'm his wife and needn't feel embarrassed about how I begged him to give me an orgasm last night—I swear I felt, and still feel, a sliver of affection towards him. I said a sliver.Because I still hate him very much. If we're being logical, after he brutally punished me last night, my resentment towards him has only increased tenfold.But maybe I deserved what I got.After all, I betrayed his trust

    Ava's words hit me harder than I'd like.I've been mulling over what she said to me for the last two days, and my goodness, the guilt... The way my heart constantly twists with guilt each time I remember is starting to overwhelm me.I genuinely didn't expect her to come at me like that but I guess I pushed her to her limits when I kept asking about the same Carmen that I betrayed.I wish I had been able to say something to her before she left that day though. Sure, she has attended to me four more times after her confrontation, but I didn't have the courage to tell her my side of things and how her words have been making me feel devastated.I get that what I did to Carmen—and basically everyone else in this house—was wrong. But if they were in my shoes, wouldn't they have done the same thing?I was just trying to survive and return to the world I once knew. What exactly is wrong with that?However, I understand I shouldn't have done that at the expense of another person's trust.Carme

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and thirty - four: Trouble

    CARL"How many are they?" I ask my friend, Jake, as I blow out a thick cloud of smoke into the air."Thirty to forty," he replies. "They keep adding up every day, boss." He runs a hand through his shoulder-length black hair and sighs with exasperation.I assess Jake’s demeanor from where he sits across from me in my office. He’s tense and worried — probably about the outcome of this conversation.Some gang members we entrusted with our products have refused to pay what they owe. They keep giving me excuses about bad sales, yet they recruit more men daily. Crazy, isn't it? Especially since I know those men don’t come cheap.Torrell Martin, the gang leader, is probably scheming something — maybe a takeover, since he’s always wanted my position in the Bratva. I’m not sure, but I’m not about to sit around with my guards down.After a minute of contemplation, I instruct firmly, “Blow up their warehouse when they're still in it.” I inhale a lungful of nicotine as Jake's green eyes match min

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and thirty - three: Movie night

    Cece and I are already getting along pretty well. think she likes me — a lot. Maybe I can use that knowledge to exploit our friendship and get her to help me escape — without her realizing, of course. I think to myself as I pace the length of my bedroom.Then I halt in my steps and shake my head, uncertain if that’ll work.I'm thinking too desperately at this point. I need to get my head straight and think of something solid.Cause the more I delay, the worse it gets and the harder it becomes to escape. To escape him.I can't. I seriously can't endure this anymore.It’s been three days since that incident at breakfast. Also three days since I last saw Carl—can’t say I’m not grateful for that. Cece told me he went out of town for business again, but I suspect there’s more to the story than she let on.She triggered something in him, and maybe he just left home to clear his head, and also urges to deal with his sister for mentioning a name she probably shouldn't have.Cause after his ou

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and thirty - two: Urgent need

    I watch, momentarily entranced, as Carl settles his weight into the seat, gripping the table’s edge as he effortlessly pushes himself forward to get comfortable, his aura thick in the atmosphere.My pulse quickens, and I can literally feel it throbbing beneath the tender skin at the base of my neck. My breaths hitch quietly nonstop — one after another. And I feel as though I'm going to be sick from the emotions tightening my chest.I mentally try to free myself from the trance, but it feels nearly impossible.No — I can't.Not with the way his gaze is now fixed on me — staring and taking in every inch of my appearance, or whatever it is he’s so intent on observing. His expression is unreadable, as usual.My fingers fumble restlessly in my lap, anxiety playing soccer and scoring goals against my composure.God, why do I feel so nervous?It’s just him here, no one else. I saw him last night, didn’t I?There’s nothing new about him — aside from the fact that he’s currently dressed in a w

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and thirty -one: Taunted

    I painfully look forward to the day when I no longer have to wake up to my cruel reality — being married to a man I barely know anything about.I look forward to the day when I no longer have to feel anxious about my safety or freedom.I look forward to the day I’ll wake up in my apartment back in Los Angeles, where my peace of mind reigns supreme.And until that day comes, I’m not sure I’ll ever be excited to experience a new sunrise — since I already know it’s just the renewal of my suffering and mental struggles. A fresh reminder that I’m still trapped where I’m not supposed to be, because of my supposed family’s betrayal.“Arise and shine, sleepyhead… Sorry, I meant sleepy wifey!”The loud, excited feminine voice shattering the tranquility in the room is quickly followed by harsh rays of sunlight streaming through, piercing my closed lids and nearly exploding my brain from the sensitivity.The fuck?My temples throb with discomfort as I groan and exhale.The scent of cinnamon and

    WHITNEYI squeeze the key in my palm — the same key Devin gave me three days ago — trying to calm my fraying nerves.I've been feeling this way since my last meeting with Devin. Since I agreed with his plan to take down Carl once and for real. I should feel motivated that I have a reliable accompl

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Twenty eight: starting over

    Two days ago, I meant it when I said I was starting over. For someone who's been so hellbent on getting revenge from the start, I think I'm doing pretty well at letting go so easily. Or that's what I like to believe.I've been so obsessed with finding justice for my friend to the extent that I forg

    "What?" Ava's bewildered exclamation cuts me out of my trance. "Selective amnesia?""Yes," Dave affirms solemnly. "We are hoping he recovers from it soon."Disbelief courses through me as I process the bad news. God, I can't believe it.A tidal wave of disappointment crashes over me, washing away t

    My heart pounds with both elation and relief on our ride to the hospital. Ava clearly shares my emotions, judging by the grin etched across her face as she navigates the road."I told you this would all be over soon, Whit. Now look— Fuck, I'm so happy." She blasts the horn by accident, prompting me
