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
The queen of icy heart Destroying heartbreak
Chapter 32 (Nathaniel's POV)"Madox! Get your head in the game or you will end up on the bench!"Do I even need to say that my game was awful?Ever since I confronted Valentina I could not concentrate on anything, especially hockey. The fact that reporters and photographers were following me and my every move did not help one bit.Now do not get me wrong. I scored points for our team, I did no harm to my teammates, the problem was that all the harm was served to the opponents. And I do not mean small harm either. I pushed them every chance I got, tried them, and fought with them, one even ended up in the ER because his helmet flew off his head somewhere in the middle of the fight.So basically what I wanted to say was that I was back to my assholish behavior or judging by the time I spent on the bench in the past few games I would have to say I was even worse.Benjamin and Seth were getting worried more and more with each passing day, but honestly, I was not really in the right state
The queen of icy heart Waiting for his decision
Chapter 33 (Valentina's POV)A few days ago I received an answer from national television. Or technically from their newspaper publishing team and editors. And you would not believe it but they actually were interested and willing to give me a chance. At the job and at my attempt to apologize to Nathaniel.So now I was sitting in my living room going through the added article for a millionth time.Dear readers.As awful as it might sound, I was actually framed with the last article that was supposed to be written under my name. Those who follow me and my work know that I never write any article based on rumors and without strong facts that can support my words. So the article that was published under my name was obviously not my work at the end of the day. Now that we made this part clear I can explain everything to you.The meaning of this article is to apologize to the man that stole my heart and once you get through this first soap opera part you can also read the real article that
The queen of icy heart It all falls back into place
Chapter 34 (Nathaniel's POV)Boys forced me to read the article and at the end of it I would not tell them that but I was grateful that they made me read it.All the way to Valentina's house I kept repeating it in my head.Now all things made so much more sense in my head. Somewhere deep in my head, I think I knew all this time it was not really her behind the article, but I needed someone to blame on. And all the mistakes I made in my past somehow made me feel like I needed to pay for everything. And what better way to pay than being heartbroken? All I wanted was to be at her place already and pull her in my arms and kiss the ever-loving hell out of her. But I needed to hear what was written in the article directly from her. I needed that closure. She could never lie to me since we met. So I knew she would be telling me the truth. But I needed to look her in the eyes.As I arrived her car was parked in her usual spot in front of the house and Anabelle's car was nowhere to be seen, m
The queen of icy heart Epilogue
Chapter 35 (epilogue- Valentina's POV)A few months later "Anabelle, are you home?"It was late evening already and Anabelle, as it looks like, was once again not home, which was perfect for my evening with Nathaniel but still I was getting worried about my best friend. She was gone almost every night and came home in the early morning hours. So something was clearly not right but Nathaniel convinced me to give her time. She would come around and tell me what is going on. Or that is what I hoped would happen.But that is a story for another time. Right now I had to get things ready before Nathaniel came. It was after all our third month's anniversary and I know many people do not see month anniversaries as something big, but to two people that were commitment-phobes before they met each other, it was a huge thing.I gathered candles and lit them in the living room, I grabbed chocolate and strawberries out of the fridge and some whipped cream. Cliche right? But I do not care. I just wa
The queen of icy heart A bad start
The queen of forced decisions Chapter 1 (Seth's POV) 9 years oldIt was another boring day in my home.It was just me and Sophie. She already made us dinner, we cleaned everything and now we were in our room doing our homework and dreading the moment when father came home.You see, our father is not the loving type. He was, once upon a time, but then his brother died in a car accident and he became this manipulative aggressive abusive asshole I knew. Everything good I knew about my father I learned from my sister because I was too little to remember it. Judging by my sister's stories I was only around one year old when this kind of behavior started. And when I was two years old our mother died in weird circumstances.But everything I can remember about my father was not good. Not at all. But I guess I was lucky, either because I was a boy or because I was younger, but he barely ever hit me. My sister thought was a different story. Even now as she was sitting across from me I could s
