Chapter 22 (Nathaniel's POV)Hanging around with the boys was fun but from the moment Valentina sent me a text she would be done with her work sooner I was not fully into our conversation.I just waited for her text to arrive.Benjamin and Ath though realized soon what was happening and did not give me a break. They could be pretty annoying sometimes but they were good friends so I just bite my tongue when my assholish side wanted to come out around them.Valentina's text came a few hours later but something did not sit well with me.Princess: "Done with the job now and forever."Now the obvious part was that she either was fired or she resigned herself."Hey, boys. Valentina texted me so I'll be heading out now."They just chuckled and gave me a nod letting me know they have heard me.Idiots. They were my best friends but still, they were idiots. Maybe that's why we got along so well in the first place.All the way to Valentina's house I kept wondering what exactly happened.Sure, ju

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

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

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

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
