Carmen’s POV

I stood in Chase’s living room and waited patiently after Linda told me that Chase had a guest in his bedroom.

That came as a surprise to me because I never pegged Chase as one who would have someone in his room. He didn’t even like people coming to his house, but then again, Chase owed me no explanation, so I simply waited.

I was patient, but I was also jealous.

I knew without a doubt that it had to be a woman, and recalling that I had also been in that room didn’t make it any better. However, I recalled Millie’s statement last night, and I decided to do away with those thoughts.

Chase Maddox was never, and would never be interested in a girl like me, so the earlier I concentrated on my job, the better for me, but I was very relieved that Millie had said that she had simply done it to make me jealous.

And she won.

A few minutes later, Tiana Donalds walked out of Chase’s room and came to the living room. At first, her countenance seemed off, but the moment she saw me, sh

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Always Two Steps Ahead

    Chase’s POVWhen Carmen got back into the car, I noticed that her eyes were red, but for the life of me, I couldn’t ask her what the problem was or what Edna had stopped her to talk about.The atmosphere in the car was too tense for my comfort.For the first time, I was uncomfortable about someone’s emotions in my presence.Usually, I wouldn’t have cared one bit.The drive to Tyler’s parents’ house wasn’t long, which made me relieved because I didn’t think I could tolerate the tightness in my car any longer.“Ice King, what a surprise,” Tyler’s mother greeted cheerily as we arrived.The moment I saw her, I became upset.I then noticed the greed that I hadn’t checked before now.I noticed also that she didn’t acknowledge Carmen’s presence, and this wasn’t the first time she was doing it. She only worshipped people with money.“My manager, Carmen Vega,” I told her, wanting her to pay acknowledgment to Carmen.The moment I said those words, shame and guilt enveloped me.Just a few hours

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Offloading Emotions

    Carmen’s POVEven though Chase didn’t inform me about what he thought about the appointment with Edna Jones, I booked it anyway.And when it was time, I went back to him, even though I didn’t want to.Fortunately for me, leaving him alone for about two hours gave me time to rethink and reset. A part of me wanted to quit almost immediately.I would have called Millie to vent, but she would remind me that she did tell me to take the deal. She would say that she told me so, and I didn’t want that, so I had given myself the pep talk I needed.“I am not going to allow Chase Maddox break me,” I declared.Oh, I did shed a few tears because of his hurtfully piercing words, but that was all, and right now, neither Chase nor anyone else would have been able to guess whether or not I had shed some tears.“It’s time for your appointment with Edna Jones,” I told Chase strictly.He wasn’t staring at me, and I couldn’t tell if it was because he was still mad, even though he didn’t even have any righ

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   When Anger Burns

    Chase’s POV Carmen’s last words sliced through my heart painfully as realization dawned on me.She hadn’t taken the job.“Damn, Chase,” a voice in my head berated me. “If only you have just asked her politely, she would have told you, instead of creating a fight,” it added. “And when did you become this way?”That was a question I couldn’t answer.I didn’t know if it was the jealousy of seeing that someone else wanted Carmen, whether romantically and professionally, or if it was the anger of her being Donny’s daughter. All I knew was that something was happening inside of me that was making it almost impossible to control myself.Not to forget the fact that a big part of me was looking for a way to apologize to Carmen for how I treated her after the sex, but that just wasn’t working.She was being too professional around me, making her impenetrable.And then I had to deal with Terry’s words that kept assuring me that I didn’t do anything right.Usually, I shouldn’t have even allowed

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   His Object Of Gain

    Carmen’s POVFor the first few seconds, I was struck by Chase’s demeaning question, but almost immediately, I got out of my shock.“Excuse me?” I said, hoping that Chase would actually say that he didn’t mean to speak to me like that.Right now, I wasn’t even bothered about how he found out.He was a hockey player and words must have gotten around, but asking me such a question was an insult to me, coupled with the fact that I was still dealing with the rippling hurt that his actions caused me.“You heard me right, Carmen,” Chase said, facing me squarely. “Why did you greedily take the deal Sean’s dad offered to you?” He had the audacity to repeat the question.Pain and anger rippled through me, making my heart bleed afresh.Ever since we had sex, Chase had just been unpeeling layers of his horrible personality. As though it wasn’t enough that he hurt me dearly, he wanted to ensure that my heart was completely broken. How cruel could he be?From the look in his eyes, he didn’t look re

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Too Professional

    Chase’s POV“We are starting this week with your endorsement with Edna Jones,” Carmen said, reading through her ipad.I stared at her, unable to get Tiana Donalds’ words out of my mind.It had been two days since she told me and Carmen was just resuming today, being that it was the start of a new week, and how I managed to hold myself from reaching out and confronting Carmen after I heard of it for those two days was something I couldn’t explain.However, I had told Terry about it.He was the only person I trusted enough to share my thoughts with.“Why does that bother you?” Terry had asked. “If she chooses to decamp to Sean’s camp, you should be relieved. That way, you don’t have to deal with Donny anymore,” he had said.“She is the best manager I have ever had, Terry,” I had countered.“She is not the only ‘best manager’ there is, Chase. I can hire another best, even if it means getting him or her from another country and spending all my money to pay her,” Terry had said.“Or what i

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Everyone Can Be Bought

    Chase’s POVBenjamin’s words were the only reason Tyler mellowed down.He had been about to attack me, but for the handcuffs, but now, he simply stared at me with hatred and rage.“That’s not true,” Tyler said.We were all standing.He seemed so hungry and heavily laden by the handcuffs that I wanted badly to tell him to take a seat, but he was too consumed with his feelings to even bother with what I was worrying about.“It’s true,” Benjamin repeated.Then to convince Tyler, he turned to me.“Right, Chase?” He inquired.Even though Tyler seemed enraged, hateful, and embittered, I could see it in his eyes that there was a tiny ray of hope that it was true. He was evidently tired of being in prison, but then again, who wouldn’t be, especially with how bad he looked?“Yeah, right,” I responded tightly, feeling like I had been cornered.“I don’t believe him,” Tyler said.He was talking to Benjamin, but his gaze was fixed on me.“You should, Tyler,” Benjamin said convincingly.Now I reali
