BONUS CHAPTER 3: LEGACY ON ICESt. Paul's Cathedral had never held a more unusual funeral service. At Emma's insistence, Charlotte and baby Frankie were present in the front pew, their soft baby sounds occasionally punctuating the solemnity with reminders of continuing life. Franklin would have approved—he'd always believed children belonged wherever family gathered.The church was packed beyond capacity. Hockey legends sat beside business executives, longtime household staff mixed with socialites, and fans who'd never met Franklin but understood his importance to Boston sports filled every available space. Outside, local news crews broadcast the service to thousands more who wanted to pay their respects to the man who'd built a hockey dynasty and raised a granddaughter who'd carried it forward.Emma sat between Alek and Natasha, holding Charlotte while trying to process the magnitude of her grandfather's impact. She'd known Franklin was respected, even feared in business circles. But

Franklin took his last breath at 6:47 AM, just as the morning sun fully illuminated the garden he'd spent forty years tending. Charlotte was sleeping in Emma's arms, and baby Frankie had finally settled against Alek's chest. The monitors stopped their steady beeping, replaced by a silence so profound it seemed to echo through the entire mansion.Emma felt the exact moment her grandfather left them—not from the machines, but from the sudden emptiness in the room, as if all the warmth had been sucked away despite the morning sunshine streaming through the windows."He's gone," she whispered, the words feeling impossible even as she spoke them.Alek reached across Franklin's still form to squeeze her hand. "He waited for the sunrise. He wanted to see one more morning with them."Dr. Singh appeared as if summoned, moving with quiet efficiency to turn off the monitors and begin the necessary procedures. But she paused first, placing a gentle hand on Franklin's forehead."He was a remarkabl

"Tell me about the stars again, Grandpa Franklin," five-month-old Charlotte babbled in her own baby language, reaching for the twinkling lights Emma had strung around Franklin's hospital bed at home.Franklin's weathered hand, now so thin the veins stood out like roadmaps, gently caught Charlotte's tiny fingers. "Those aren't just lights, little princess," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "Those are all the dreams your great-great-grandmother and I shared. Each one burns for you now."Emma sat in the chair beside his bed, seven-week-old Frankie sleeping against her chest, tears silently streaming down her cheeks. Three weeks had passed since their decision to move to New York, but Franklin's condition had deteriorated so rapidly that travel was now impossible. Instead, they'd converted the mansion's sunroom into a makeshift hospice, filling it with everything that brought him joy—family photos, fresh flowers, and most importantly, his great-grandchildren."The blue star there,"

Emma's blood chilled. Elise's harassment claim, which they'd hoped was resolved, had apparently resurfaced."What kind of allegations?" Alek asked, tension evident in his voice."Inappropriate behavior, abuse of power, hostile work environment," Franklin replied, watching Alek's face carefully. "All nonsense, of course, but requiring proper response.""I never," Alek began, but Franklin waved him quiet."I know. Everyone who matters knows. But defending against false accusations while pursuing the Commissioner position would be... complicated."Emma felt her heart sink. Even if they proved Alek's innocence, the scandal could derail his opportunity."However," Franklin continued with a slight smile, "Dr. Crawford seems to have a history of similar allegations at previous employers. Our legal team has been quite thorough in their research.""Meaning?" Emma asked."Meaning the complaint will likely be withdrawn once she understands the full scope of our investigation," Franklin replied.

Emma sat between her sleeping babies in the early morning light, Franklin's letter trembling in her hands. The envelope had been tucked into her grandfather's desk drawer for months, labeled in his precise handwriting: "For Emmy - When You Face Your Hardest Choice."That choice had arrived unexpectedly yesterday when Alek received a phone call that would change everything."NHL Commissioner?" she had repeated in disbelief. "You're being offered Commissioner of the entire league?"Alek had looked as stunned as she felt. "The current commissioner is retiring earlier than planned. Health reasons. The board wants fresh leadership, someone with playing experience and modern business acumen.""It's your dream job," Emma had said quietly, understanding immediately what this meant."In New York," Alek confirmed. "Full relocation required."Now, at dawn, Emma finally opened her grandfather's letter with shaking fingers:My dearest Emmy,By the time you read this, you'll be facing the choice I

"Boston's Hockey Princess: Having It All or Having a Breakdown?" Emma stared at the magazine headline displayed prominently at the airport newsstand, her blood pressure rising with each inflammatory line of the subtitle: "Emma Mitchell-Volkov's juggling act between boardroom and nursery raises questions about women in sports leadership.""Don't read it," Alek advised, steering her away from the newsstand. "Lisa warned us it was coming.""Too late," Emma muttered, fishing coins from her purse. "I need to know what they're saying."The article, when she skimmed it during their flight to the league owners' meeting, proved even worse than the headline suggested. Anonymous sources—clearly other owners' wives—questioned whether Emma could effectively lead a franchise while caring for two infants. The piece dissected everything from her maternity leave duration to her decision to bring babies to the Seattle hospital visit with Jack."'Sources close to the organization suggest Mitchell-Volko
