POV: Daisy

"Get away from my door," I said instantly, my voice sharp and flat, holding the door tightly against my shoulder so he could not see past me into the apartment.

Jace did not move. He did not step back, but he did not try to push the door open either. He just stood there, looking at me, his chest rising and falling in deep, ragged breaths. "I saw the news," he said quietly. "I knew you'd see it. I drove straight here from Frost Arena."

"I don't care where you drove from, Jace," I snap

  • The Hockey billionaire's secret son    Chapter 106 — Who Is She?

    POV: DaisyThe question hung in the air."What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely audible."I mean, forget about Victoria Kingston for a second," Emma said, her voice calm and grounded. "Forget about the news reporters, the hockey fans, the scholarship scandal, and the lawyers. Forget about the wall you built. If you take away the fear of getting hurt again... what do you want, Daisy? Do you want him in Oliver's life? Do you want him in your life? Or do you just want him to go away forever?"I opened my mouth to give her the safe answer. I opened my mouth to say that I wanted Jace to stay far away from us, that I wanted him to take his Kingston Global Foundation money and his hockey career and leave Willow Creek for good. That was the answer that kept Oliver safe. That was the answer that kept Dad from stressing himself over my troubles.But the words stuck in my throat.I thought about the way Jace had crouched down behind the gym bleachers to look at Oliver's wooden stick. I tho

  • The Hockey billionaire's secret son    Chapter 105 —UNDERNEATH THE FEAR

    POV: DaisyThe sound of Jace's footsteps fading away from the concrete step felt strange and unreal.I leaned my back hard against the door, my legs trembling slightly as I tried to steady myself. The cool air from the step chilled my arms through the thin cotton of my shirt, and my chest felt tight and hot. My lips were still tingling from his kiss. They felt warm and unsteady, branded by a man I had spent half a decade trying to forget.Across the room, the apartment was quiet. A faint beam of light from the pilot light of the stove reached across the linoleum floor and touched the base of the hallway wall. Dad had already taken Oliver back to bed. Oliver's bedroom door was closed, a thin line of light glowing beneath it, and the only other sound was the soft hum of the refrigerator in the corner.Everything was normal. Everything in this room was safe, quiet, and ordinary.Except for me.I dragged my hand up over my face, pressing my palms against my warm cheeks to cool my skin. My

  • The Hockey billionaire's secret son    Chapter 104 — YOU NEED TO GO

    POV: JaceI never answered her text. We need boundaries. I read it until the words stopped looking like words, and for days I let her have the wall she had asked for, telling myself it was the only decent thing left to give her.Then her second message came. Did you ask for me specifically? Tell me the truth. I started to answer her. I deleted every version. I stood through a charity gala with Madison Sinclair at my elbow, smiling for cameras, with the only thing in my head the question I had left unanswered.By the next evening, the news had turned Daisy into an unnamed schoolteacher and me into a headline. I got her address from the Kingston Global Foundation office, drove straight from Frost Arena, and sent the only words I could think of: I'm outside. She opened the door and told me, word by word, exactly what I had done to her, and every word landed. I did not argue. Maybe I was every bad thing that had ever happened to her.Then a small voice called out from inside the apartment

"I knew you'd see it. I drove straight here from Frost Arena.""I don't care where you drove from, Jace," I snapped, my fingers gripping the edge of the door frame. "You shouldn't be here. You shouldn't even know where I live.""I asked the Kingston Global Foundation office for your address this afternoon," he admitted, his voice dropping even lower. He took half a step forward, raising one hand as if to reach for the door, but stopped himself before his fingers touched the paint. "I had to see you. You sent me a text last night, Daisy. You asked me a question.""And you ignored it," I said, my teeth clen

  • The Hockey billionaire's secret son    Chapter 102 — I'm outside

    POV: DaisyThat morning, a stranger in a black sedan had stopped me at the school gate and asked how long I had known Jace Kingston, bringing up Kingston University and the way it ended for me. Emma had warned me to keep my head down because someone was digging. I spent the rest of the day flinching at the sound of every car driving past my classroom window, and spent the evening tucking Oliver into bed, swearing to myself that no one would touch him.Then Dad turned up the evening news, and there Jace was.The news anchor's cheerful voice continued to chatter through the television speaker, detailing the schedule for the Titans' upcoming weekend game, but the words blurred into a dull hum in my ears.On the screen, side-by-side photographs remained frozen. On the left: Jace standing in the pouring rain outside Maple Grove Elementary, his tall frame bent close to a woman whose face was turned away from the camera under the amber glow of the parking lot lights. My coat. My back. On the

  • The Hockey billionaire's secret son    Chapter 101 — Exclusive

    POV: DaisyA few minutes later, my hands were still shaking slightly when I reached the school entrance, where Emma had just stopped by on her way to her administrative office. Her coat was still on and her work bag was still over her shoulder."You look pale and shaken," Emma said, setting her work bag down the moment she saw my face. "What happened?"I set my tote bag down against the wall. "There was a woman waiting by the parking lot."Emma frowned, leaning forward. "A parent? A reporter?""She claimed she was doing a profile piece on the Kingston Global Foundation grant," I whispered, keeping my voice low so it would not carry down the hallway. "Emma... she asked me how long I've known Jace. She brought up Kingston University. She knew I was expelled back then."Emma's relaxed posture instantly vanished. Her jaw set, and her eyes hardened. "Did she have a camera? A press badge?""No. Just a notepad and high-end clothes. She was driving a black luxury sedan."Emma reached out and
