Chase’s POV

“Let me introduce you to my husband and our acquaintances,” Edna Jones was saying, but I could hardly concentrate on what she was saying.

My eyes were still glued to Arnold.

He was standing somewhere in the room with a glass of wine in his hand, and speaking to about two other persons. He seemed so invested in the conversation that he wasn’t even paying attention to anything else.

A part of me felt that he would have looked up and our eyes would have met.

“Of course, Edna,” Carmen said.

Thankfully, she was here to speak for the both of us.

That was exactly why she was my manager; to give all the responses that I couldn’t.

“This way, please,” Edna Jones offered.

I was supposed to go with them, but I just couldn’t move a foot.

This was a man that I had sent countless emails to, but never got a response. I had thought that I would see him at the event, but he hadn’t shown up, and that was the same event that Tiana Donalds had been given his promotion.

Arnold was one of the ve

    Carmen’s POV“That is a lot to take in, Carmen,” Millie said on our way back from Lori’s house. “I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling right now,” she added.I rested my head on her shoulder sadly.“Why didn’t they tell me that things were hard?” I asked.“Parents don’t like to say these things sometimes,” Millie responded. “When things went really worse for my family and I was in college, they didn’t tell me about it either,” she added.“So why now?” I asked. “Why didn’t they just continue keeping it away from me?” I asked further.“Maybe they realized that they couldn’t anymore,” she said.“Or maybe it’s because they found out that I work for the almighty Ice King,” I retorted.I was broken and sad at the same time, and it just felt like nothing good was happening in my life right now.“But if things are as bad as you say they said it was, how is Lori still able to keep her personal assistant?” Millie asked.“You know, I never even thought about that for a second,” I said. “I

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Burning Out

    Chase’s POVSince I woke up, I had been going from one exercise to another.I started with my usual early morning jogging around the big league, but this time around, it was different. I pushed myself too hard.I ran too fast.It was as though running fast enough would get the troubling thoughts out of my mind, but the faster I went, the more the thoughts lingered.“You shouldn’t feel bad or guilty. It was consensual. She already took the pill. Just take this as a score against Donny for what he did to you. It’s not a big deal. Don’t let it ruin what you have worked so hard to build…”Those were the thoughts that contradicted what I was feeling deep inside.After running, I had a cold bath, and I intentionally skipped breakfast.The next was pushups, and usually, I would have done about two hundred of it, especially if I had already taken the run, but this morning, I went double, and by the time I was done, I could barely feel my legs.But I couldn’t stop thinking.It was even worse b

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   A Tough Phase

    Carmen’s POV“No, that is not the reason,” my dad said, but I still found it hard to believe him.“We didn’t know this until after that day, Carmen,” Lori added.That was true anyway.“Can I have my phone now?” I asked.“There it is,” my dad said, gesturing to the phone on the table.I took it and dumped it in my side pocket.I already had a new phone, but then again, I didn’t want them to have possession of my old phone. There wasn’t anything there that could implicate me as Chase’s manager, but still…“And I didn’t come to announce anything to you,” I said, responding to what Lori had said earlier.“You had no plans of telling us?” Lori asked, sounding hurt again.“That’s not why I am here,” I stuck to that.Right now, I didn’t even want to be a minute longer. I just wanted to proceed with what brought me here so that I could leave.Millie was already outside, and I could bet that she wasn’t comfortable. Besides, I already left her for a while earlier, and it wasn’t fair on her.The

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Family Issues

    Carmen’s POV“How did you know that I have been working for Chase Maddox?” I couldn’t help but ask when I got over my shock.“Is that how they respond to best wishes these days?” My dad asked, trying to tease, but I couldn’t even look at it that way.“I don’t remember mentioning it,” I said, still surprised.Also, I ensured that I stayed out of Chase’s pictures and videos, even when we went for the charity function at the basement, which also turned out to be his, and when we signed the endorsement deal with Edna Jones.I had no business being captured in any of his pictures or videos because I wasn’t the celebrity, he was. It was normal with every manager and the players they managed, which was why I still had to introduce myself as Chase’s manager sometimes.People didn’t really know, and that was just how it worked.“Come on, Carmen, don’t be rude,” Lori decided to chip in. “Your father already said congratulations, and the best response is to say thank you,” she lectured me as tho

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   His Wishes

    Carmen’s POVI tried to find out from Lori what she could be on about, but she didn’t give me any direct answers, and that was when I knew that she was deliberately evading it.“You should try the dresses!” Lori urged.I thought that I could get out of it, but Lori was more pushy this time around, and before I knew what was going on, she was forcing me through three dresses, all of which I felt were too much for me.They made me look like Tiana Donalds, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to look like her even though clearly, Chase seemed to be attracted to her.By the time we got to the fourth dress, I was already exhausted, and even worse, we had spent way too much time in her bedroom. When I recalled that I left Millie downstairs for way too long, I felt worse.“Lori, stop!” I bellowed firmly, sick and tired of her antics. Lori stopped, but she was shocked at my reaction. She didn’t think that I would raise my voice.“I am sorry for raising my voice at you,” I told her.“I was only trying

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Back Here

    Carmen’s POVMillie and I got down from the cab and went in through the gate. We didn’t need any formalities at the front door because they already knew that I was a part of the family.“Carmen!” Lori screamed loudly as she descended the stairs.It was as though she was just waiting for us to walk into the living room for her to make a grand entrance.I caught sight of her personal assistant somewhere in the living room, and I wondered what she was doing here.“You made it!” She added as she got to where Millie and I stood.We both stood in the middle of the living room like strangers.As soon as Lori got to me, she took me into her arms and hugged me warmly.“Gosh, I am so glad that you could make it,” she said.I almost rolled my eyes at how extra and dramatic Lori would always be. She was acting as though I hadn’t been the initiator of this moment. Nevertheless, I allowed her to have the spotlight because that was what she always wanted.“Why are you dressed like this, Carmen?” Lor
