Carmen’s POV

Visiting Tyler’s parents weren’t as difficult as I had envisioned it would be, especially after Chase gave the heartwarming speech I prepared for him.

“This is so thoughtful of you, Chase Maddox,” Tyler’s mum had said.

I had been a little surprised at her reaction.

Initially, upon our arrival, she had been hostile. Her husband was sick, so he couldn’t do or say much. Thus, leaving all the interactions to her.

The plan had been for Chase to say the speech when we arrived first, but seeing her reaction, I changed the plans, and instead, presented her with the money, gifts, and medical expenses that Chase was willing to offer the family while he fought for Tyler’s release.

The woman’s switch from hostile to hospitable had taken me by surprise.

“I knew that you were a good man, but sometimes, fame and wealth can get in the way of things, especially for you youngsters,” she had added.

Just wow!

She didn’t say anything about her son; well, I guessed the statement about Chase wo

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Her Firmness

    Chase’s POVThe one mistake I made was going close to Carmen and staring at her deep eyes and full lips, and watching her counter me was so arousing that I couldn’t put it off.I really tried, but not succumbing felt like more pain than what I was already feeling.I kissed her, deeply and fiercely, and Carmen didn’t respond.She had her lips tightened against mine, and as much as I tried to part them to gain more access into her and explore her lips, Carmen wouldn’t budge. After several attempts, I stopped and took two steps back, and Carmen made it worse by wiping her lips.Embarrassment engulfed me so badly that I felt worse than I had been all day.And I was right about being just like him, Donny. Maybe not in a manipulative way, but he always bragged about what he had done for me that warranted me to be grateful to him, and that was exactly what Carmen had tried to do.And yet, I had kissed her.“Suddenly, you can’t stand being kissed by me, right?” I asked, trying to make the emb

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

    Carmen’s POV“What are you doing here?” Chase asked harshly.His countenance hadn’t changed much since the last time he showed me his beastly side after the tournament game, and I wondered if I was safe, being here alone with him.“Who let you in?” He asked again before I could even find an answer.Chase’s anger was so fierce that it burned into my skin, and I wondered why he was so pissed at me. I understood that he would be broken and upset after what happened, but taking it out on me in this manner was worrisome.I thought that Chase wouldn’t harm me, and that there was no need to be worried or afraid of him, but with the fury in his eyes and how tense his living room was because of his annoyance, I began to rethink my choices.“Where is Linda?” Chase went on to question me.He was barely giving me the chance to even answer one question before he threw the next one at me.“She is not here,” I managed to answer the last one.When I returned to Chase’s apartment, I had met with his h

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   One Man’s Misery

    Chase’s POVAs much as I tried to take my mind off the most horrible part of my past, I couldn’t. As much as I continued thinking about what happened hours ago, it kept coming back.I wanted to stop thinking about it, but I couldn’t.I wanted to blink off Sean Noble walking over there to take the award that was supposed to go to me, and I wanted to shake off his words, but I couldn’t.The more I thought of everything, the more upset I became.“Sir, are you not tired yet?” The driver asked me worriedly.We had been cruising around the city for hours now, and he seemed like he was getting tired, and it dawned on me that it was probably because I hadn’t paid him yet.“Why don’t I pay you for the hours you have driven me?” I asked him.“Yes, sir,” he answered with eagerness.I had to turn on my phone to make the transfer, and when I did, I could feel his excitement.“Thank you,” he said eagerly.I should have been the one thanking him for choosing to drive just me even though I was paying

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Something Sneaky

    Carmen’s POV“Carmen, what are you doing here?” My dad asked me.He was equally shocked to see me, but there was something about him that made me feel uncomfortable about seeing him here, and it had nothing to do with the fact that we hadn’t set eyes on each other since he tried to abduct me and forcefully make me stay in his house.“I asked first,” I reminded him.Kevin cleared his throat, trying to douse the tension that had risen between my dad and me.“Carmen Vega, what a surprise,” he said, a little skeptically.Although I had only seen Kevin twice, he seemed pretty fidgety, compared to the other times I had seen him.“What is going on here?” I asked Kevin, turning to him since my dad wasn’t giving me a response.“He is your dad?” Kevin asked.“You two know each other?” My dad asked at the same time.And that was enough confirmation that something was definitely going on that they wouldn’t want me to know about.I had always known my dad as a respectable man…well, in the city, an

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   A Good Scandal For Him

    Carmen’s POVI left Chase’s apartment and tried to find a taxi. My next stop was Kevin’s gym. That was the only place I could think of to find Chase. I already knew that he wasn’t at his facility because I already called and Chase hadn’t been there all day.“I just hope Chase is there,” I muttered to myself on my way there.That was the only place I could think right now, and if Chase wasn’t there, I wouldn’t know where else to check. Unfortunately, Chase wasn’t the kind of person that went around to many places. He was either in his house, or his facility.If he hadn’t even taken me to Kevin’s gym the other day, I wouldn’t have known about it.“Is there somewhere else that he might be and I had no idea about because he hasn’t shown me yet?” I asked myself worriedly.Since Terry knew Chase so well, he was the right person to have asked this question, but then again, if he also knew where to find Chase, he wouldn’t be in his living room waiting for him. Before I left Chase’s house, I

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   My Job

    Carmen’s POVLona’s words sent shivers down my spine, but as soon as I got out of the big league, I shrugged it off.Finding Chase and ensuring that he was fine was my major priority, and I wouldn’t allow something that wasn’t any business of mine to prevent me from focusing on that.There was no need for me to worry about Sean Noble’s ruthless father because I would never have anything to do with him, or even Sean Noble. By now, at least, he knew not to bother with flirting with me.A part of me blamed Lona for falling for someone like Sean Noble, but then again, there was something about these hockey players that just had you falling for them even when you didn’t want to.“Take you, for instance,” a voice in my head told me.Never did I ever envision that I would fall for someone like Chase Maddox.He might not be like Sean Noble who was loud, reckless, and a complete flirt, but he was moody, and he constantly brooded. Chase Maddox’s temper issues weren’t something that could be han
