Sabrina’s POV

I was still on my knees. The carpet pressed into my skin, but I barely felt it. All I could feel was the crushing weight in my chest, the gnawing panic twisting my stomach into knots. Surely there had to be something, anything at all, that could be done. I didn’t know what it was, but I was clinging to the desperate hope that Lady B might have one more solution hidden up her sleeve.

“Is there anything else I can do?” My voice cracked as I looked up at her. “I mean… anything at all

  • The Hockey Star's Spicy Stripper   CHAPTER 174: From Stripper to Mrs. Harrington

    Sabrina's POVI've always believed my life was nothing but a sad reality TV show, one tragedy after another, each season more heartbreaking than the last. I'd tossed and turned through sleepless nights ever since my parents died, carrying grief like stones in my pockets.But today, this moment, I was living my dream.I sat on the balcony of my mansion, watching the New York City skyline glitter with Jace on the other end of the phone and my engagement ring catching the first rays of sunlight on my left hand."Baby, I cannot wait for you to move in with me in Texas." His voice was warm honey through the speaker. "We'll have so much fun there. I'll take you to all my favourite places.""I know." I smiled, twisting the ring on my finger. "Our graduation is this morning, and our wedding is this evening. So what's the big deal? You have a few hours until I'm yours forever.""God, you have no idea." I could hear the smile in his voice. "I want you right here in my arms right now. I want to

  • The Hockey Star's Spicy Stripper   CHAPTER 173: The Truth Shall Set You Free

    Jace's POV"You can go back to your duties. I can handle this." The words were heavy on my tongue, weighted with emotions I was still trying to process. I addressed the security guards hovering around Sabrina like sentries awaiting the command to strike."Yes, sir." They retreated like soldiers falling back from a battlefield after their commander's order, melting back into the shadows of the lobby.I didn't say a word to her. She simply followed me into the elevator, and before the doors closed, I felt every eye on the ground floor fixed on us. The staff pretended to work, shuffling papers, typing on keyboards, and speaking into phones, but the moment I glanced away, their gazes locked onto us like magnets drawn to metal.When the elevator doors finally sealed us in that small metal box, silence filled the space like water flooding a sinking ship. We both stood straight as soldiers, backs against opposite walls like two strangers forced to share the same square footage of air.But th

  • The Hockey Star's Spicy Stripper   CHAPTER 172: Forty-Five Floors to Face the Truth

    Jace's POV"Get me the file for the power plant project." I didn't look up from my desktop, my eyes locked on the financial report I was preparing for the next board meeting. Numbers swam across the screen: revenue projections, expense forecasts, and risk assessments. At the same time, I had three other windows open, tracking the shipment currently crossing the Pacific. My father had put me on that project personally because he didn't want anything to go wrong with it. Too much money, too many investors, too many eyes watching to see if the young COO would sink or swim.I'd done all the clearance work myself, approved every payment, and double-checked every invoice. No room for error. No space for weakness.I saw her approach from my peripheral vision: Ella, the new assistant Scott had hired before he'd left for France. She bent over to retrieve the file from the cabinet, and all her curves became visible through the tight red pencil skirt she wore. It matched her lipstick, I noticed

  • The Hockey Star's Spicy Stripper   CHAPTER 171: Truth In The Drawer!

    Sabrina's POV"Shooting recorded outside popular Club Eden last night. No deaths were recorded, but multiple injuries were reported as rival gang members opened fire outside the establishment around 2 AM..."My eyes were fixed on the television screen mounted in the hospital waiting room, the news anchor's voice washing over me like white noise. The headline scrolled across the bottom in that ominous red text they always used for violence: GANG VIOLENCE ERUPTS AT ELITE NIGHTCLUB.I'd experienced one or two shootouts outside Club Eden during my time there, the hazard of working in a place where money, power, and danger intersected like tangled threads. So this news wasn't shocking to me. It was just... sad. Another reminder of the life I'd left behind, the world I'd barely escaped.I simply took my eyes off the screen and focused on steadying my breathing, trying to centre myself before the doctor called me back.Skye was remanded in prison, awaiting trial for accessory to murder. The

  • The Hockey Star's Spicy Stripper   CHAPTER 170: When Love Becomes Poison

    Jace's POVTwelve days later.Not every story has a perfect ending, and not every love story concludes with happily ever after. Some end tragically, violently, with the kind of pain that carves itself into your bones and changes who you are forever.My story was not an exception.Over the years, I had transformed: evolved or devolved, depending on who you asked. From Playboy to protector. From careless to careful. From hating Sabrina Brooks with every fibre of my being to loving her so completely, it terrified me. From arrogant hockey star to romantic boyfriend to heir of an empire I never wanted.And now, finally, to this: a broken man standing in the wreckage of his own naivety, learning that the cruellest betrayals come wrapped in the softest skin.The monster the world created wasn't born from hatred.It was born from loving the wrong person.---The night it all shattered.I can still remember every detail with the kind of clarity that comes from trauma, the way certain moments b

  • The Hockey Star's Spicy Stripper   CHAPTER 169: The Grand Entrance

    Jace's POV"Ladies and gentlemen…" I clicked to the final slide of my presentation, watching the projection illuminate the darkened boardroom with charts and projections that represented days of strategic planning, "...now with this approach, we can hit the oil market really hard, and people won't even notice the loopholes in our financial report. This is what I call the master plan."The silence that followed was thick with contemplation. I could feel every eye in the room on me, these titans of industry, these men and women who'd built empires from nothing, studying me like I was a specimen under a microscope.Then I caught my father's eyes across the polished mahogany table.The look on his face was filled with both pride and impression, emotions Richard Harrington rarely displayed publicly. He sat back in his leather chair, one hand stroking his jaw, the hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Though he didn't say it out loud and would never say it in front of the boa
