The Hockey billionaire's secret son Chapter 66 — The Morning Of
POV: DaisyThe phone kept ringing, demanding an answer.I picked it up on the fourth ring, my thumb hovering before I finally swiped to accept. "Hello?"Silence answered back—not dead air, but the particular quiet of someone on the other end who hadn't hung up. I could hear the faint rasp of breathing, unhurried, like whoever it was had all the time in the world to wait me out."Who is this?" I said, my voice sharper than I meant it to be.The line clicked dead.I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at the screen until it dimmed on its own. No missed-call name. No saved contact. Just a string of digits that meant nothing to me and a silence that meant everything.My fingers felt stiff and cold as I stood there in silence for a moment to steady myself before I moved.I checked on Oliver one more time—still curled on his side, still safe, still asleep—and forced myself into bed, knowing I needed every hour of rest to keep my hands steady for my second-graders in the morning. Sl
The Hockey billionaire's secret son Chapter 65 — Ethan Decides
POV: JaceI stared at the phone screen resting on the marble kitchen counter. The unknown local number had gone dead after a single silent ring, leaving behind a faint hum in the quiet penthouse. I didn't call it back. I just stood there, my father's words from earlier still echoing in my head— that is not the son I raised, Jace, that is a man hiding behind a schedule —until the digital clock on the microwave ticked past midnight.Then my phone lit up again. This time, it wasn't a stranger. Ethan's name flashed across the display.I swiped the screen and brought the phone to my ear. "Ethan? Do you have any idea what time it is?""Jace, don't hang up," Ethan answered immediately. His voice sounded tight, fast, and wired with nervous energy. "I need you to listen to me.""If this is about tomorrow morning's team skate or the schedule, tell me in the morning," I said, rubbing the back of my neck."It's not about the skate," Ethan said. Over the speaker, I heard the faint rustle of papers
The Hockey billionaire's secret son Chapter 64 — One More Ring
POV: DaisyStanding outside in the dim hallway light was Emma. She held a brown paper bag in one arm and a tall bottle of red wine gripped securely in her hand, grinning wide as she spotted the shadow behind the glass.I let out a quiet breath, turned the deadbolt, and pulled the door open."Are you going to let me in, or am I standing out here all night delivering medicine to the weary?" Emma asked with a bright, cheerful energy, stepping inside before slipping off her coat to hang it on the peg by the door."Emma," I breathed, a genuine smile finally breaking across my face as I locked the door behind her. "What are you doing here?""Saving you from your own brain," she said, marching straight into the kitchen and setting the wine bottle down next to the toaster. She pulled two large cardboard boxes of hot pepperoni pizza out of the paper bag. "Word got around about the rescheduled date today. I knew you were sitting here staring at the walls and torturing yourself.""I wasn't tortu
The Hockey billionaire's secret son Chapter 63 — Before the Door
POV: Daisy...The phone kept ringing, demanding an answer.I let it ring out. A few more buzzes, then silence, then the small chime of a voicemail icon appearing on the screen — nobody had spoken. I didn't listen to it that night. I turned the phone face-down on the table and sat quietly long after the screen had gone off, until exhaustion finally pulled me under.The next morning, I dragged myself out of bed and walked down the hallway toward the kitchen. Dad was already up, standing by the counter just as the coffee pot finished brewing. He filled a mug and set it on the table in front of me as I pulled out a chair.The morning light offered no comfort against the fear still sitting cold in my chest. I wrapped my hands around the warm mug without taking a sip, staring down into it until the question finally slipped out before I could stop it."What if he finds out, Dad? What if he takes him from me?"Dad did not answer right away. He just looked at me with quiet understanding, slidi
The Hockey billionaire's secret son Chapter 62 — Richard's Question
POV: JaceI stared at the message until the ice beneath my skates felt like it was tilting. You have no idea what is waiting for you in that classroom.The visit never happened. The PR coordinator called to tell me the foundation was pushing the whole thing back, citing a scheduling conflict. She mentioned, almost as an aside, that the request had come from my mother's office directly, not from the events team or the board. Victoria herself had made the call.That wasn't how she operated. My mother didn't reschedule photo ops over nothing. She'd been rattled ever since I brought up the reporters digging into old grant records, and now, with cameras about to walk her son straight into the one classroom connected to all of it, she'd found a reason to buy herself time instead.It made the anonymous text sit even worse in my chest. Whoever sent it clearly hadn't known the visit was about to get pulled—which meant they weren't inside the foundation, and probably not close to my mother's of
The Hockey billionaire's secret son Chapter 61 — The Waiting Hours
POV: DaisyDad did not answer right away. He just looked at me with quiet understanding, sliding his chair closer and wrapping his arms around my shoulders. I buried my face against his shoulder, letting the tears I had been holding back all week finally spill over. He held me tight, stroking my hair just like he used to when I was a little girl scraping my knees on the pavement outside our old house."It will not," Dad murmured against my hair, his voice fierce and steady. "We will protect what is ours. I am right here with you, Daisy. We are not going anywhere."We sat there in the quiet kitchen for a few moments, the morning sunlight stretching across the floor. I couldn't afford to linger; glancing at the clock, I remembered I had to be at school early to prep my classroom. Slowly, the shaking in my hands began to ease. I pulled back, wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand, and forced a small, tired smile for his benefit."Thank you, Dad," I said softly. "I needed that.""That i
