All Chapters of Fake Dating With The Playboy hockey Captain: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Ledger's POV The Monroes’ mansion had a different vibe from whY I was used to. General Jude and Mrs Monroe were nothing like my parents, for better or worse. The easy banter that flowed between them was one I didn't know parents were capable of making.You could hear faint chatter from the soldiers near the main gate, smell coffee and something sweet from the kitchen. The place felt lived in.Cassie had moved to the kitchen as soon as we had arrived. She was helping her mom and mine to make breakfast. I strolled around, like a man taking a census. In the yard, Quentin was playing with his truck. “I see you like trucks.” I noted, walking over.He nodded. “Yeah. I’m making a road. George says I could build a whole city if I wanted.”“That so?” I crouched beside him. “You ever tried building tunnels?”He looked up. “Like underground ones?”“Yeah. You can use the hose to make the dirt damp. Easier to shape that way.”His eyes lit up. “Can we try?”I nodded. And so we got to work. Quent

Ledger's POV Finally, Sunday night was here. Some part of me was excited to finally put Zeke in his place, another part of me was worried about variables I hadn't considered.I was about to leave when I found Alison in the living room. She looked over when I came in. “You’re heading out already?”“Yeah. Whitney wants me there early.”“Okay, say hi to her for me.” Alison said. “I nodded, trying to look unbothered, but Alison had spent enough time with me to know when something was wrong. She didn’t ask questions though. “Where's Kylian, by the way?” I asked, hoping to get her mind off me.“Getting some late workout in.” She responded. “Said he'll be back late.”I nodded. That was that then.“Don't do anything stupid, Ledger.” She warned before walking off.I breathed a sigh of relief once she was gone.The drive to Whitney's Café was the longest drive ever. Mostly because my mind was filled with different scenarios of how tonight would go down. Finally, I pulled up to Whitney's Caf

Cassie's POV The worst part about waking up the day after an incident like that wasn't remembering that it happened, no. It was having to attend lectures knowing that everyone knew about your humiliation.I groaned out loud. “Damn, that scared me!” Huh?I shot up my bed so fast, I nearly fell off the bed. Alison and I stared at each other in shock. “How did you get in here?” I asked. “Better question, how long have you been here?”Alison looked as though she wanted to beat me up. “You gave me another key card, remember? Also, I've only been here for a couple seconds. Didn't see you on your bed and I thought you might have left earlier or something.”She glanced down at the bed I was sleeping on and frowned. “Why did you sleep here?”I cleared my throat. “My bed still bears Ledger's scent.”Her mouth formed an ‘o’.“Also…” I shot her a look. “We attend Monarchcrest together. Why would I leave you behind?”“Because my brother broke your heart?” My eyes flicked to her. “I wouldn't h

Author's POV “Wow, how unexpected.” Sandra said.Cassie leaned back against the couch. “I'm just curious about him. I wanna know what your childhood was like.” Sandra had never told Cassie about her parents and Cassie had never pried. She had assumed it was a touchy subject for her mom.“That is fair. I suppose I haven't been forthcoming about my past. “But Cassie needed to know now. She had to know if being surrounded by the wrong men was a generational thing, especially when she thought about her mom's boyfriends over the years.Sandra could guess what she was thinking and she couldn't help but think that she had wronged her daughter by not showing her a better lifestyle.“Let's talk somewhere quiet.” Sandra suggested.The walk back to the family lounge was filled with a comfortable silence. None of them were in a hurry to break it. Cassie's mom busied herself with preparing a cup of tea while she gathered her thoughts.“Your granddad was a good man,” Sandra began. “He was bette

Author's POV When Kylian returned later that night, he was all smiles. He felt happier than he had in days.“Where have you been? Did you win the lottery or something?” Ledger asked with a tilt of his head, watching him curiously.Kylian opened his mouth, ready to share the good news. But suddenly he stiffened, wondering how well Ledger would take the news considering his own relationship was still in shambles.“Are you having a stroke?” Ledger asked, his tone calm and even.Kylian scoffed. “I'm fine. Don't worry about it.”Ledger rolled his eyes. “Just spit it out, I don't have all night.”Kylian hesitated briefly, bouncing on his two feet briefly. “Alison and I made up.”Ledger grinned. “Wait, really?”Kylian nodded. “Bro, that's great.” Ledger said happily. “I felt guilty since I'm technically responsible for what went down between you two.”Kylian smacked his lips. “Don't give me that. It was my decision to help.”Ledger nodded once, glancing behind Kylian. If you made up, why i
