IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Hundred and thirty: Isolated
Days have passed by and rolled into a week since I got discharged from the hospital.Apparently, I was unconscious for a few days when I got admitted since I had a concussion from my accident, the bandage currently wrapped around my head evident enough.It’s been a week since I last saw any of them, especially him.He left home after stationing two extra bodyguards outside my room, and you’re damn right you know who they are — Tory and Cole.Cole has made a firm vow to Carl that he’ll protect and watch over me and make sure I don’t attempt escaping again. It’s his way of making it up to the boss for trusting my lies the first time. And you’re damn right Cole hates my guts. So he’s more than happy to do the job.They stand outside my door twenty-four-seven.I haven’t seen Carl again since he brought me back home from the hospital six days ago.Well, I was told he left home for another business trip. Now I’m realizing what Skylar said about him always traveling.Anyway, I can’t say I’m
IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Hundred and twenty-nine: Difficulties
Carl is on the phone when I re-enter his office. The coffee mug in my hand, I carefully walk over to his desk so as not to spill a drop because I don't want him telling me to make another cup just because I wasn't careful enough with this one.I place the mug down, avoiding eye contact with him. I feel grateful he's busy speaking to someone on the phone, so I have no reason to entertain his annoying presence anymore.However, just as I'm about to turn on my heel and bolt out of here, he motions a finger in the air, signaling for me to wait.A frown quickly settles on my face, and I release a weary sigh as I shoot him a scowl. But he returns it with a glare of his own, making my heart skip a beat.I swallow, quickly fixing my expression as I clasp my hands in front of me, standing still and waiting as instructed."Shut the hell up, Alec. Come to my office now," Carl sneers at his consigliere, who I believe is on the other end of the phone.I watch him with interest, genuinely curious a

"What has Clara got to do with this?" I'm surprised by how easily he figured it out, but then I remember Clara telling me earlier she was going to warn Aiden to stay away from me."She came to see me," Aiden answers, heaving a sigh. "Told me to beware of you like I'm trying to hook up with you or something..."Wait, he's not?Isn't that what all this was about?I thought he approached me because he wanted something more than friendship?Have I really read the signals wrong, or is he just bullshitting me because he's been caught?Aiden's voice breaks me out of my thoughts."Listen, Whitney, I don't know exactly what Clara told you, but believe me, I'm not that kind of guy."My focus zeroes in on him and I merely let out a huff."Your claims contradict your reputation around here, Aiden. It would be hard to convince me otherwise.""I understand..." He sighs again, frustration and regret flickering across his features. "And honestly, I get why Clara warned you to be cautious around me. I
IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Hundred and twenty - seven; Rumors
WHITNEYConfusion flickers across my face as I wonder why Carl is asking to see me in his office all of a sudden.I don't understand... What have I done now?Nonetheless, despite my puzzlement, I get up from my chair and make my way to his office. It's best to find out what he wants without defying him.Carl has just taken off his suit jacket when I arrive. He rolls up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his tattoos that make me inwardly drool. Yet, I keep my focus on him as I approach his desk.Standing in front of him, I swallow a small lump, my pulse quickening with curiosity.He's not even paying attention to me after settling into his seat. Instead, he leaves me standing here for a minute or so while he reads through some paperwork on his desk.I'm starting to get really pissed off because why the hell did he invite me when he knew he wasn't going to say anything to me?Frustration simmers beneath my skin, causing a scowl to etch across my face.Eventually, after what feels like

"What do you mean?" I ask, puzzled. "Why did you say he's full of shit?""Because he is," Clara replies, scoffing incredulously. "He was flirting with you just now, wasn't he? It's okay. You can be honest with me. It's not like I'm going to tell your husband anything."I frown at her statement, a pang of annoyance stirring within me. Why does she think I care whether she tells Carl about my encounter with his CIO or not? Does she think I'm scared of him or something?However, despite my displeasure, I answer in a calm tone. "He wasn't... We were just talking. Like I said, he brought some documents that need reviewing." I pull open the drawer where I had kept the file Aiden gave me earlier and show it to Clara as evidence."Hmm." She nods in approval, prompting me to push the drawer shut. "Okay then.""You still haven't answered my question, though...""What question?" she asks with knitted brows, appearing to have forgotten what I asked her earlier.I repeat, "You told me to be wary o

WHITNEY.Clearing my throat after a moment to kill the awkwardness between Aiden and me, I inquire politely, "So... are you here for anything else, or did you simply come to surprise me with your peace offering this morning?"He licks his lips, grinning with amusement. "Uhm, not quite, but that was my first priority though," he teases.I shrug casually, smiling in return. "Okay. Now that we've gotten that little misunderstanding out of the way, we can go back to being regular colleagues."He hesitates, a hint of displeasure flickering across his expression, but then he replies, "Sure." He pulls out the file tucked under his arm and brings it up. "I was hoping to see President Sorrentino. Is he in? There's something I need his signature approval on."I shake my head, "No, he hasn't come in yet." Then I pause, glancing at the file in his hand with curiosity. "But you can leave the documents with me. I'll give them to him when he gets here.""You sure?""Yes, I'm sure.""Okay." He smiles

"You have until the count of five to decide," he adds, and I still stubbornly hesitate.I was hoping I'd finally come up with a wise choice during his little counting spree, but the bastard completely catches me off guard.Sighing in resignation, he declares, "Five."Motherfucker didn't even count.
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
