My Hockey Captain Ex Is Now The Ruthless CEO The Return of Emily
Emily’s POV The bus pulled into the station at six in the morning.I stepped off with my suitcase and backpack, the same ones I'd carried seven years ago when I left this town behind. The air was cold and sharp, the kind of cold that bites your cheeks and reminds you you're alive.The station looked the same. Same cracked concrete. Same flickering fluorescent lights. Same bench where I'd waited for the bus that took me away.I didn't sit on the bench.I walked outside and hailed a cab. The driver was an older man with a graying beard and a radio playing soft jazz. He didn't recognize me. Why would he? I was just another passenger with a suitcase and a destination."Where to?"I gave him the name of a small hotel on the edge of town. Not the kind of place a billionaire CEO would stay. Not the kind of place anyone would look for a journalist chasing a story.He nodded and pulled away from the curb.I wat
My Hockey Captain Ex Is Now The Ruthless CEO Seven Years
Emily’s POV Seven years.Seven years of late nights and early mornings. Internships and rejections. Small wins and bigger ones.My first published article. My first front page story. My name in print.Emily Vance. Investigative journalist.I didn't just survive. I built myself from nothing.The city was different from the town I grew up in. Taller. Louder. It didn't care who I was or where I came from. It just kept moving, and I moved with it.I learned how to chase stories. How to knock on doors that slammed in my face. How to sit in cold parking lots waiting for a source who never showed. How to take a "no" and turn it into a "maybe" and then into a front page headline.My first big story came three years in. A local politician skimming funds from a housing project. I spent six months digging through public records, interviewing whistleblowers, connecting dots that no one else bothered to see.When t
My Hockey Captain Ex Is Now The Ruthless CEO The Aftermath
Emily’s POV I buried my uncle that week.Not in a cemetery. Not with flowers or prayers or people in black clothes pretending to mourn. I buried him in the silence of his own apartment, surrounded by the walls that watched me shrink for ten years.I didn't cry.Instead, I sat at his kitchen table and wrote a list.Get a job. Save money. Find an apartment. Apply for community college.The list was short. The list was everything.---The job hunt was brutal.I walked into every store, diner, and office within a five mile radius. I filled out applications until my fingers cramped. I smiled until my face hurt.No experience. No degree. No references.And the name. My uncle's name followed me everywhere like smoke. Some people were polite when they rejected me. Some weren't."We don't want any Vances in here."The door closed before I could respond.I kept walkin
My Hockey Captain Ex Is Now The Ruthless CEO The business Card
Emily’s POV woke up to sunlight streaming through my window and the sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand. For a moment, I forgot everything. Then I remembered. The dinner. Jesse walking down the aisle. My uncle's fingers digging into my arm. Daniel's hand in mine. The truth finally spilling out after ten years of silence. I reached for my phone. Messages from Daniel. A voicemail from the athletic board. A text from Sienna with a heart emoji. And an email from the scholarship foundation. I opened it. Read it twice. Then I set the phone down and stared at the ceiling. My application had been revoked pending review of new information. My uncle must have contacted them before the dinner. Before he was escorted out. Before everything fell apart. His last act of control. Even if he went down, I would go down with him. The scholarship was gone. I already knew what I had to do. I typed a short message to Daniel. Can we meet at The Blue Line? I need to talk. He replied almost
My Hockey Captain Ex Is Now The Ruthless CEO My own
Emily’s PoVJesse walked down the center aisle like a ghost. His cane tapped against the marble floor. Tap. Tap. Tap. Two hundred people watched a boy they thought was dying walk toward the stage.My uncle's fingers were still digging into my arm. His face had gone grey. Jesse was supposed to be his weapon. But Jesse wasn't looking at him. He was looking at me.He stopped at the front of the room and faced the crowd. His voice was quiet but steady."My name is Jesse Grey. And I need to tell you the truth about what actually happened to me."My uncle released my arm. "Think carefully about what you're about to say. Your family's future depends on it."Jesse looked at him without flinching. "You've already taken enough from my family."He turned back to the crowd."Three months ago, Director Vance came to my house. He knew my mom was sick. He knew we were behind on mortgage payments. He offered me money to save ou
My Hockey Captain Ex Is Now The Ruthless CEO Let me tell the rest
Emily’s PoV I stood in my bedroom, staring at the mirror without really seeing my reflection. The dress was dark blue, simple, the kind of thing my uncle would approve of. Modest. Unremarkable. Easy to ignore. I had spent ten years picking outfits he wouldn't notice, walking through rooms he wouldn't see me in, shrinking myself into the smallest possible shape.Tonight, I was done shrinking.I reached into my jacket, hung over the chair, and pulled out the memory card. Still there. Still safe. I tucked it into the hidden pocket inside my dress, the one I had sewn myself three days ago. My uncle never noticed things like that. He never noticed me at all, except when I was useful or when I was in his way.I picked up my phone. Daniel's message from last night was still open. Tomorrow.I typed: "I'm leaving now."His reply came before I even set the phone down. "I'll be at the side entrance. Don't walk in alone."I took on
