Chase’s POV

“Is there a problem?” Carmen asked me, dragging me out of my reverie.

While she read out the schedule, I couldn’t stop staring at her face and realizing just how beautiful she was.

Carmen Vega didn’t have to do anything to come off as breathtakingly beautiful. She wasn’t like Tiana Donalds who adorned herself with way too much makeup, revealing clothes, and pair of high heels.

All Carmen needed to do was exist.

However, even when I thought about her in that light, I was also reminded that she was Donny’s daughter, and that made my heart conflicted.

“I don’t think there is,” I managed to answer before I would end up looking like a fool in front of Carmen.

“But did you listen to everything I said?” Carmen asked suspiciously.

In all honesty, I didn’t.

I only heard the first line of her speech because I got carried away by her beauty and the bitter realization of whose daughter she was, but thankfully, a call from Terry saved me.

I hopped up almost too quickly.

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Too Stunned And Guilty

    Chase’s POVWe arrived at the station to see Tyler, causing Benjamin to stop asking me about Carmen.I didn’t even want to think about how cold my blood had become the moment he said that, or how jealous I had become.Almost instantly, I had wanted to warn him off Carmen.Since I knew Benjamin, I hadn’t heard anything ill about him, especially when it came to his affairs with women, and also, he was a good hockey player. If I had a sister, maybe I wouldn’t mind Benjamin falling for her.But certainly not Carmen Vega.Not my Carmen.I quickly shook my head to get rid of the thought. Carmen wasn’t mine. What in the world made me think of something like that?Donny’s daughter could never be mine even though a deep part of me couldn’t shake off the night we had together. I worried that I would never be able to get over it, and now, the mere thought of someone else sharing her body just made me jealous and possessive.“We are here to see Tyler,” Benjamin told the officer we met.“Just a mo

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Most Sought After

    Carmen’s POV“Are you going to take his offer?” Millie asked me.“I can’t even believe that you are asking me something like that,” I answered, already growing very upset.“Hold on a second, you mean you are not even thinking about it?” She asked me.“No, I am not,” I answered, and that was the truth.“But that isn’t what I heard you say to him,” Millie said.She was right.As soon as he left, Millie came right out, and I knew that she had overheard everything he had said, making it easy for me because I wouldn’t even have to relay the conversation to her, but then again, the greed in Millie’s eyes on the money he offered me was evident.She was also right when she said that it wasn’t what I had told him.“I will need a few days to think about it,” I had told him.“That’s perfect, Carmen, but don’t keep me waiting for too long, and when you give your response, let it be something that will make us both happy,” he had responded.And then he had left.As soon as he did, it was as though

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Asking Questions

    Chase’s POVBenjamin had told me earlier that he would be going to visit Tyler in cell.“Can I come along?” I had asked without even thinking about it.“I think you can,” Benjamin had responded.That was a few hours ago at the gym where Benjamin and I had talked and worked out, and just as I had hoped, it had distracted me from the troubling thought that I was having.And so, when he had mentioned going to the station to visit Tyler, I had jumped on it without considering it.Now, staring at my reflection in the mirror, I began to question my intention.“Is this even the right thing to do?” I asked myself.I didn’t find the question before Benjamin showed up.“Ready?” He asked.“Yeah, I am,” I answered.“You don’t mind driving in my car, right?” Benjamin asked me.“Of course not,” I answered.I didn’t understand why Benjamin would think that I wouldn’t want to drive in his car. His car was also expensive and fanciful, and it wasn’t like he wasn’t wealthy as well. Anyway, I decided not

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Eyes On Me

    Carmen’s POVWhat in heaven’s name was Sean Noble’s father doing in our apartment?How did he even find my apartment?“I don’t think it’s polite to keep a man’s hand waiting, especially a man my age,” Steven Noble said.His smile hadn’t faltered, and even though he obviously had the money and power, he didn’t seem extremely intimidating.“Oh, I am sorry about that,” I said and placed my hand in his.He wrapped my smaller palm in his, maintaining a warm and friendly handshake.“This is my best friend, Millie Owen,” I said after he released my hand, gesturing to Millie. “We live here together,” I added.“It’s lovely to meet you, Millie Owen,” Steven Noble said.“It’s a pleasure to also make your acquaintance, sir,” Millie said.And he was polite enough to also exchange handshakes with Millie.“I have been standing here and waiting for quite a while before you arrived,” he said. “Do you think you could invite me in?” He requested politely.Oh, goodness me!“Yes, yes,” I responded hastily

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Familiar Face

    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
