Chase’s POV

I would have thought that Carmen would be right beside me, but instead, it was Tiana Donalds.

As a matter of fact, it was everyone else except her, and that made me deeply unhappy. I smiled, waved, signed autographs, posed for selfies, and exchanged a few handshakes, but deep down, I wanted Carmen to be beside me.

“You are supposed to take a quick interview,” Tiana Donalds told me when the noise around me was dying down.

“Right now?” I asked her, unsure whether or not I wanted to take an interview, especially without Carmen’s presence.

And that was when I recalled my conversation with Terry.

Silly me.

Here I was, fawning over Carmen’s presence when she could probably be in her apartment right now, having being fired by Terry, or back to her dad, Donny. My heart broke, and it took every ounce of self-control to maintain the smile on my face, and of course, years of practice.

“Shouldn’t I be with the other players?” I asked her.

My recent realization even made it worse for m

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   First Day At Work

    Carmen’s POV“Hell no!” Sean barked loudly.His outburst was so unexpected that it took me off balance for a bit before I regained myself.He had just arrived from the meeting with the other hockey players, and the moment I said that he couldn’t have the party he announced without my consent, he flared up.Steven Noble’s driver had driven Sean to the big league and back to their mansion, which was situated in the most elite neighborhood in the city. I had seen a lot of beautiful houses, but when I arrived here, I had been awed by how gigantic and magnificent it was. I almost asked if it was just Steven Noble, his wife, and son who lived in this mansion. Anyway, I had had to wait for Sean to be taken to the meeting and back.“Sean will be going to meetings and for trainings from home for a few weeks until we are certain that he is fit to return to the big league like the other players,” Steven Noble had told me about an hour ago when Sean was away.He had sent his driver to pick me up

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

    Chase’s POVI tried to get some rest, but a knock on the door interrupted me.Who could that be?My first thought was Carmen; she had probably come to confront me, but I shook off the thought. With how upset and hurt Carmen had been, I didn’t think that she would ever want to set eyes on me.It couldn’t be Cindy Mayers either.I did everything she asked me to do; read the script for the press release and rolled the words out of my mouth like a zombie. I couldn’t even watch the highlight of it on TV ever since because I knew that I wouldn’t like anything I might have said there.“It’s for the best, Chase,” Cindy Mayers had told me.As much as I wanted to hate her and fire her like I had been doing to other managers, I just couldn’t. Not that I couldn’t fire her or refuse what she was doing, but then again, I just didn’t have the strength to do anything.Since the whole incident happened, which was a couple of days ago, I had just been hiding away in my changing room.I had never felt t

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   No Longer On His Team

    Carmen’s POV“Carmen, have you been crying?” Millie asked me as soon as she stepped into our living room and caught sight of the mess I had made.Wet tissues were lying around messily.I had emptied the box of tissue.I did try to stop crying, but my heart wouldn’t stop aching, and because of that, the tears wouldn’t stop flowing, making things hurtful for me.I had been waiting on Millie, and I couldn’t believe it took her this long to get back to our apartment.“Where have you been?” I asked her. “You close earlier than this time,” I added by noting correctly.I wanted her attention so badly that I had been checking the time all evening, and yet, Millie chose today of all days to come back way too late.“Did you stay back because of the crush you have on your boss?” I asked.Even to my own ears, I sounded silly.Millie dropped her handbag, came to me, and cradled me in her arms. The tears began to flow again and she let me soak her dress with it. Millie didn’t say anything or let m

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Pointless Confrontation

    Chase’s POV“Can you give us a moment?” I asked Cindy Mayers.Carmen stormed out of my office about fifteen minutes ago, and Cindy tried to continue with what she was saying before Carmen’s arrival, but I just couldn’t concentrate anymore.The truth was that I hadn’t even been concentrating before Carmen arrived, but the difference was that I was able to manage it.Right now, I couldn’t.I hadn’t even heard a word that she had said since Carmen stormed off.“Sure, Chase,” she responded dutifully.Then she got up and walked out of my office gracefully.“She is great, isn’t she?” Terry asked with a proud smile, referring to Cindy Mayers.“I don’t know, Terry,” I said, my chest already contorting with annoyance.“Come on, Chase, admit it,” he urged with a chuckle.“You think I asked her to give us privacy because I couldn’t wait to talk about how ‘great’ she was?” I asked Terry, my voice getting high with annoyance.Terry wasn’t surprised at my outburst.But of course, he would know that

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   New Manager

    Carmen’s POVMy heart was already racing very fast as I could feel that I wouldn’t like what was going on.This seemed like a serious and enclosed meeting, and somehow, Chase didn’t think to inform me about it.“What is going on here?” I asked again.Terry stood up and faced me.“Good morning to you too, Carmen Vega,” he said, buttoning his suit jacket that he might have unbuttoned himself.The question was directed at Chase, but somehow, it seemed like Terry was going to be doing the answering, just like when Chase asked Terry to come and clean up his “mess” at my apartment.Typical of Chase Maddox…always leaving the difficult things for his “Brother” to handle.“Good morning, Terry,” I said tightly. “But my question was to Chase,” I added.My tone was stiff but I didn’t care.I was upset and I needed Chase to know that I was.First of all, he didn’t tell me about this secretive arrangement that they seemed to be having, and secondly, he wasn’t even responding to my question.I under

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   In His Office

    Carmen’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about what my heart was telling me.Was my dad Donny?There wasn’t anything that could have signified that he was, but at the same time, how in heaven’s name did he just casually make that statement.“When Chase Maddox told me…”It sounded as though they had been communicating, and I had no idea about it. On a second thought, if my dad was Donny, then that meant that he was the one who was responsible for what happened to Chase and Derrick. He did what he did to their eyes.My breath caught in my throat.For the entire night, I was restless.I couldn’t sleep a wink, so much so that I had to call Millie.She picked up on the third ring.“Goodness, Carmen, I told you not to wait up for me,” she said over the phone, panting.“Have you been running?” I asked her.“No, I haven’t,” she answered. “It’s midnight. Why would I be running?” She asked me impatiently.“Exactly why I am confused because I don’t understand why you should be panting,” I said. “I
