The queen of icy heart Steamy day
Chapter 24 (Nathaniel's POV)When I arrived at Valentina's house I had a relaxing day in mind, no funny business, maybe a movie, some snacks, and cuddling.But as it turns out I got the complete opposite.A steamy afternoon sounded pretty inviting now that I had Valentina naked on the bed and a tie in my hands.At first, she was looking confused but after a moment confusion was replaced with want. And I guess my eyes spoke the same thing.As if she read my intentions she stretched her hands above her head and held on tight to the bedpost. I crawled over her body until I was in the right position to tie her hands to the bedpost. Now the fun can begin. Looking at her like this I could only thank the stars for their kindness, because they sent her my way and now she was all mine.If you asked me if I was a commitment kind of man before I came to Europe, I would laugh in your face. But right now I found nothing funny about the idea of staying with Valentina forever.First I traced light
The queen of icy heart Bad luck or a sign?
Chapter 25 (Valentina's POV)Today was my first day without Nathaniel in a long time.He flew back to Canada yesterday and he would not return until next week.In the meantime, I had to find a new job. There was no fire under my ass, yet, but if I didn't start looking soon, my savings would be empty in a few months and I just couldn't allow myself to get to that point.Anabelle was also helping me. She was going through the possibilities because she knew as well as I did, if I would be looking, a whole week would not be enough to send out all the resumes. And half of them would be unanswered at the end.So she was sorting through options while I tried to find the papers and articles I wanted to put next to my resume.Suddenly Anabelle shrieked and scared me to death in the process but before I could yell at her she was already rambling a mile an hour."You will not believe what I just found! National television is looking for a sports reporter and the job description would suit you be

Chapter 26 ( the article)Madox, Canadian miracle for Europe Written by Valentina Callahan My first thought when coach Irving told me about a Canadian player coming to play in the European league was that he must have hit his head pretty badly in the past. Who in their right mind would trade those two? Especially the better one for the worse option.Not that our hockey league is not great, it is just that we are a long way from catching up with those guys in Canada. They are practically born with sticks and pucks in their hands.But here we had some guy named Nathaniel Madox who was coming to live and train hockey in London. Like I said first it made no sense, but then I got to meet him, and let me tell you, I was left speechless and that is a hard thing to achieve when the person in question is me.But let's start with smaller facts that might be known to some people already.His parents died a few months ago in a car accident and since that day, he never sat behind the wheel of a c
The queen of icy heart Going home
Chapter 27 (Nathaniel's POV)It has been almost a week since I left Europe and went back to Canada. I had to take care of some legal business like selling my house or technically my parents' house, and all the cars as well. No, there was no collection, but there were still three cars left because each of us had one car besides the one my parents died in.Now all those things have been taken care of and there was only one thing left on my agenda. That thing is convincing Andrew to go with me this time. As it turns out our team was one player short and when I mentioned Andrew to coach Irving he got down to business, did his research, and after a few long days informed me he would gladly take in a player as good as Andrew was.But my childhood friend could be a pretty stubborn one unfortunately and somehow he was still determined to succeed in Canada. It's not like there was no possibility for that to happen, but chances were smaller than in Europe.And as determined as he was to succeed
The queen of icy heart It was all perfect until it was not anymore
Chapter 28 (Valentina's POV)You know that feeling when you think about doing something and you find all the reasons why you should do it and convince yourself it is a brilliant idea that will not hurt anyone, but then later you reflect on the events and start doubting yourself?Yeah. That's how everything was with me right now.Nathaniel was coming home today but I had no idea when. And no, I did not manage to get myself a new phone yet. But I would need to buy one as soon as possible because I have not heard from the people on national television via mail by now. Either I was just too nervous and all these things took a bit longer than I thought or they tried calling me and could not reach me. Those were the only two options. Since it is national television they had to inform me whether I was chosen for the job or not.But looks like I will just have to sit on my butt and wait for them, or they will have to wait for me to get my phone and transfer my contacts and my number to the new
The queen of icy heart The article #2
Chapter 29 (The fake article)Madox, a liar, and a murderer.Written by Valentina Callahan You know as a reporter I learned many useful lessons. The first of them always was and always would be, to follow your gut feeling.But this time I did not listen to my gut and got burned.But let us not skip to the end right away. I am sure you want to hear the whole story, my dear readers.A few months ago I received a call from the Hawks coach to pick up his new player. It was no surprise I got stuck with the ugly work because since I became their winter edition reporter I was the errand lady, the number you dialed if you had something to do and you did not want to do it alone if you simply had no will to do it, things like that, you get the drift.So now I was stuck with picking up the new hockey player that was self-entitled, had a huge ego, and thought of himself as a God to us mortals.The first encounter we had just strengthened my resolve to bring him down a peg.My research from befor
The queen of icy heart No questions asked
Chapter 30 (Nathaniel's POV)Andrew and I managed to pack in record time I would say.We were even a bit too soon at the airport but it was better than being too late I would say.So as we waited for our flight we just went through all the information when I suddenly received a call from my coach. He knew I was still in Canada and am returning in the evening so if he was calling me right now it meant something huge happened and he had some important news.My phone was shaking in my hands and I knew if I didn't hold on to it right it might just slip out of my hand. You probably wonder what I was so afraid of. As I said. If the coach was calling me right now something bad had to happen and the first thing that came to mind was that Valentina was hurt or one of my friends. And that was not a scenario I was willing to deal with right now, but still, I answered the phone with shaking hands."Yeah, coach? What is going on?"At first, I was only met with silence but then I could hear a loud
The queen of icy heart putting plan in the motion
Chapter 31 (Valentina's POV)I reread the article at least a thousand times in the past few days, but still nothing made sense to me.Well, one thing did make a lot of sense. I did not write this article! But who else could have done it? That is the question that kept bugging me since the evening when Nathaniel stopped by to throw the newspaper at my door.What I can not understand though at the moment is my own stupidity.You remember I said I was a pretty smart person and I refused to hide my smartest?Well, this time my heartbreak obviously beat my smartness. Because I did not realize all it took to find the culprit was to look at the newspaper. The name of the newspaper.And there it was. The information I was looking for.And suddenly it all started making sense to me.The day I left my work office I left everything on the desk. All my notes, articles, together with all the notes I had on Nathaniel and his story that I was still writing. The story that I used for my job applicati
