Chapter 20 – What We Started

“You used me to prove a point to him”

The phrase kept echoing in his head over and over again, like his own brain was trying to prove a point to him.

She was lying. She had to be. He had loved her, he still loved her. He had torn up his entire reputation, endured whispers in the locker room, and faced endless media coverage just to marry her. He hadn't done all of that just to win a petty grudge against a team captain who thought he was untouchable. Right?.

Yet, as

    Chapter 91 — Girls' Night, No Boys AllowedChloe didn't say a word to either of them when they got back. She kept her head down, slipped off her shoes at the coat rack, and headed straight up the stairs toward her bedroom."Chloe, wait—" Ryan started, taking a step toward the staircase."I'm fine, Ryan," Chloe called back without stopping, her bedroom door shutting firmly a second later.Ryan stood at the bottom of the steps, his hands jammed into his pockets, staring up at the closed door. A dark, dangerous anger settled over his face as he turned around to face Emma in the living room. "I'm going to find that idiot. I swear to God, if he thinks he can talk to my sister like that and just walk away, he's dead wrong."Emma caught him by the forearm before he could march toward the front door. "Ryan, stop. Look at me." She waited until his eyes met hers, keeping her voice calm and firm. "Right now, Chloe doesn't need you running across town to start a fight. She needs space, and she n

    Chapter 91 — you're not stupid Emma handed the phone back to Ryan after Chloe's voice broke through the line. "She won't tell me what happened," Emma said, her face full of worry. Ryan took the phone and tried again. "Chloe, where are you?" There was a long silence. Then Chloe sniffed. "I don't want you to come." Ryan closed his eyes for a second. "Chloe, you're crying. Of course we're coming." "I'm fine." "You're obviously not fine." Chloe didn't answer. Ryan heard her breathing shakily before the call ended. He immediately called her back, but she didn't pick up. He tried again. Nothing. Emma looked at him. "We need to find her." Ryan nodded. "I know." They rushed out of the arena, with Ryan barely thinking about his leg anymore. The game they had just watched felt forgotten. All that mattered now was finding Chloe.They got into the car and Ryan started calling everyone who might know where she was. Her mother didn't know. One of her friends hadn't heard from her. Ryan called Chlo

  • kiss me captain: The ice captain chubby fake girlfriend    Chapter 90- what's wrong

    Chapter 90- what's wrongThe second period was even harder. Both teams came out fast, and the game became more physical. Ryan barely blinked. Every time his team lost the puck, he leaned forward. Every time they got close to scoring, he stood up halfway before sitting down again. Emma laughed at him twice, but after a while she stopped because she could see how serious he was. Midway through the period, his team scored again. Ryan smiled and clapped with the rest of the crowd. They were ahead 2–1. But the lead didn't last long. Less than four minutes later, the other team tied the game. Ryan's smile disappeared. He leaned back and ran a hand over his face. "That was a bad turnover." Emma looked at him. "They still have time." "I know." "Then don't give up on them." Ryan looked at her and nodded. "I'm not." The rest of the second period stayed tied. Both teams had chances, but neither could get another goal. When the buzzer sounded, the scoreboard still showed 2–2. Ryan sat back and s

    Chapter 89 — The First Game Without HimRyan stood in front of his bedroom mirror, adjusting the sleeves of his shirt for the third time. His suit jacket was hanging over the back of the chair, his shoes were already by the door, and his watch was sitting a little too loose around his wrist. He had been ready for almost ten minutes, but he still hadn't left the room. Tonight felt strange. For the first time in a while , he wasn't getting dressed to play hockey. He was getting dressed to watch his team play without him. He looked down at his injured leg and sighed. He knew he was getting better. Dr. Bennett had even said his recovery was going faster than expected, but that didn't change the fact that he couldn't play tonight. He should have been in the locker room getting ready with the guys. Instead, he would be sitting in the stands. A soft knock came from the doorway. "Are you ready?" Emma asked. Ryan turned and looked at her. "Almost." She stepped into the room and looked him ove

  • kiss me captain: The ice captain chubby fake girlfriend    Chapter 88 — The First Orders

    Chapter 88 — The First Orders before she could talk herself out of it, she reached for her phone. The moment she opened her notifications, her eyes widened. There were thousands of new comments and messages. Emma sat up in bed, scrolling through them slowly. There were still a few cruel comments, of course. Some people were still calling her names and saying she was only getting attention because of Ryan. But there were so many more people defending her. Chloe looked up and immediately noticed the smile on Emma's face. “Okay, what's that smile about?” she asked. Emma shook her head, trying not to look too excited. “Nothing.” Chloe narrowed her eyes. “Emma.” Emma finally laughed and held up her phone. “Look.” Chloe took the phone from her and started scrolling. “Oh my God.” She looked up. “There are so many comments.” Emma nodded, her smile growing. “I know. And look at this one.” She pointed at the screen. “She said she wants to order cinnamon rolls.” Chloe grinned. “See? I told you

    Chapter 87 — Prove You Deserve ItMaya spent most of the morning trying to understand how everything worked. She went through the files her supervisor had given her and wrote down anything she thought she needed to remember. The office was still full of whispers, but she tried not to pay attention. She had promised herself that she wasn't going to let other people's opinions ruin her first day. Around midday, her supervisor, Daniel, came to her desk with a folder. “Maya, I need you to handle this project.” She looked at the folder. “Me?” “Yes. It's a small project, but there's a meeting tomorrow morning, so I need everything organized before then.” Maya nodded. “Okay. I'll get it done.” Daniel gave her a quick smile before walking away. Maya opened the folder and started reading. She wasn't going to give anyone a reason to say she didn't deserve the job.About an hour later, Lauren walked past her desk and glanced at the papers spread out in front of her. “Still working?” she asked.
