The days go by. I’m stuck at the manor, waited on, hand and foot. The one people I have to keep me company are my dad and aunt. They rotate it, takes turns keeping me company.

Cary brings me gifts and spends an annoying amount of time fussing over me. Helen walks me around the gardens, divulging more stories about her several adventures.

In between, I talk to Aiden on the phone. Violet as well. I’ve been brought up to speed about the affair of things at cheerleading.

  • Rebounding With The Alpha Hockey Star   CHAPTER 134

    AIDENThe lunch party still isn’t giving me much of anything but I know something is up.Helen is nice. She keeps trying to strike up conversations with me, like we’re long lost friends. I can see a bit of Willow in the way she smiles.I wonder if Willow knows about this lunch meeting. I doubt it. Because if she did, she certainly would have said something to me.Helen is curious about what my life has been like. She asks about college and hockey. She even asks about my relationship with Willow. It is at this point that Cary chooses to get involved.“So, I hear trials start in a few days,” he quips. “You must be excited at the prospect of having to prove yourself to the larger family, as well as the company.”Not really. But I doubt Spencer would be pleased to hear that. So, I lie. “Yeah. I can’t wait.”“I bet Theo intends to be a most vicious contender,” he plops a slice of steak in his mouth.Now that he mentions Theo, why isn’t he here with us?“Forgive me,” I speak up, having had

    AIDENI find myself being more receptive to Scott. In the days that follow our first meeting, we’ve met up twice and each time, he’s fed me name lists and company data. We’ve done mock board meetings, and even tried to close mock deals.I know he call tell that my heart is really not in it but hedoesn’t push. He just keeps doing what he’s paid to do.“How are your trial preparations coming along?” Spencer asks, pouring me a whiskey. Neat. “I’ve received a couple of reports from Scott but I want to hear from you directly. Are you holding up?”I’m at headquarters. In Spencer’s office. This isn’t like the last time, when I had stormed in here. I’m not here to fight. Rather, I’m here to negotiate. To strike a deal with the boss himself.I accept the glass he holds out to me and take a slow sip. Then I set it down on the table, ignoring his inquiries about the trials. “I didn’t come here to talk about Scott’s babysitting skills. I’m here to talk about hockey.”I slide a folder across the t

    WILLOW“Whoa. Vincent. Stop the car!” I call out to him in a panic, leaning forward.Next to me, Ginny sits up straighter. “What’s wrong Willow?”I don’t answer her. I just point out the window. She must have seen what I’d seen a few moments ago because she gasps in shock. “Oh my gods. Is that Tessa? What the fuck?”Vincent has already brought the car to a halt. He kills the engine and turns around to look at me. “Is everything okay, miss Thompson?”“No,” I grimace, gesturing for him to look out the window, to where Tessa is currently being slammed against a dirty alley wall. There are three guys surrounding her. They’ve got her cornered on all sides and they seem to be roughing her up pretty badly.I don’t need to be close enough to the action to know that she’s bleeding.“We have to do something,” I declare, not quite sure about what I plan to do. “We have to help her. They are hurting her pretty badly. Vincent!”“Forgive me miss Thompson but you can’t get involved.” Vincent takes h

    WILLOWI have been having nightmares. Strange dreams where I’m being haunted. In my dreams, I am always running away from some faceless dark force and every single time, I end up underground, in a dark room, akin to a basement. Creepy as hell.Having these dreams have been sucking the strength out of my bones. They’ve definitely been a distraction, especially with all the exams I have to prep for. I’ve got no papers to write today, and so I call Ginny and set up a meeting. She’s the only person I feel comfortable with, enough to talk about my nightmares. And that’s because I know she would have the right words to say. Hopefully an interpretation. Perhaps some potion I could take to keep the demons at bay. At least until exams are done with.“I’m glad you called,” Ginny slips into the seat across from mine. We are at a milkshake spot, that sells the most delicious milkshakes on campus. They also sell ice cream cones and there’s quite a large variety of flavours to choose from.I had d

    AIDENI know he’s here for me. He’s definitely one of Greg Spencer’s lackeys. It’s there in the ten thousand dollar suit. In the way he carries himself as he saunters towards me.I’ve already had a shitty last couple of hours. I’m not in the mood to pretend like I care about the trials. Certainly not in the mood to be patronizing either.“Aiden Cross,” he stops in front of me, reeking of money and cigarette smoke. “How was your meeting with the hockey board?”How does he know about that?“If this is about the trials, might as well head back to headquarters. I’ve had a long day. I don’t need to put up with this shit.” I walk past him, bumping into his shoulder. “I’m afraid I can’t.” He falls into step next to me. “The first phase of the trials is in a few days and we have to bring you up to speed on everything you need to know.”“I don’t care.” Everything I care about is currently being reviewed before a board of snotty boardmen. I go to open the door and he grabs my fist.He’s strong

  • Rebounding With The Alpha Hockey Star   CHAPTER 129

    AIDENIt is officially exam week. One of the biggest hockey games of the season is coming up. I’ve finally been approved to appear before the hockey board. Coach accompanies me without being asked. I think he just feels sorry for me. Deep down, he must view the whole dismissal stunt as unfair.“Whatever you do, don’t try to argue or speak out of turn.” He straightens my tie. We are both in the hallway, waiting to be called and ushered into the board room.The hallway is cold. It unnerves the shit out of me, but I like to think that I’m doing a rather spectacular job, hiding the way I truly feel.“Yeah, I know.” I clear my throat. “Don’t worry coach. I’m good.”“You said you’ve built a case based on the ‘Just Cause’ clause?” he asks. But it’s one of those questions that doesn’t require me to give an answer. Afterall, I already sent a softcopy of my case to him for review. “I’ve reviewed the case file you sent. If you just stick to the script, you’ll be fine. I’ll say it again, no outbur

    WILLOWI wouldn’t go as far as to call myself the kind of girl who goes out seeking danger. I know there are people out there, who get off on trying all kinds of exhilarating, dangerous stuff, but not me.Somehow though, I’ve ventured into the last place I thought I would ever go to. An illegal fi

    WILLOWI wake up to the sound of my phone buzzing. At first, I think it’s just my alarm but it’s not. Tate Mccrae blasts at full volume and Violet groans in her sleep.“Ugh! Willow. Will you answer that already?” She grunts. “Some of us are trying to sleep here.”Blindly, I search for my phone, dis

    WILLOW“Willow!” The best phrase to describe Jane Keller is “cunt licker.” She’s the kind of girl that would do anything to get in Tessa’s good graces. Rumor has it that she’s being in love with Tessa since freshman year. That’s got to be the reason why she’s so devoted to her.If she’s trying to t

    WILLOW“We’re not breaking up,” Aiden says it like that’s final and I wish I could share his confidence, calling Theo’s bluff so easily and throwing caution to the wind.The sun is blazing and Aiden’s hair keeps getting in his eyes, amplifying that roguish glint in said eyes. Those same eyes are fi
