All Chapters of The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Carmen’s POV“Carmen, Carmen,” Millie woke me up with a gentle tap.I slept off about two hours ago, and it was such a peaceful sleep that I wasn’t pleased to be awakened. I guessed I was able to sleep this peacefully because of Millie’s words of encouragement.“Hmm, what?” I asked drowsily, rising from the bed. “What could be so important that you have to wake me up?” I asked.“Your phone is ringing,” Millie told me.“Gosh, that’s why?” I asked, unable to believe Millie, but I sat up anyway.“I think it’s work,” she said.The moment she said that, my eyes widened instantly. Work meant that it had to be Chase.“Is it Chase?” I asked.Even calling his name made my heart to ache, and I realized that sleeping didn’t even help. I could still feel the pain of what he did to me deep in my chest, only that I wasn’t crying about it…at least not yet.“No, it’s not,” Millie answered with a nod. I was a little confused.“Then who can it be?” I asked.Millie stretched the phone to me, and when

Carmen’s POVI did it! I did it! I did it!I was so excited with myself that I successfully threw the money in Chase’s face that I could barely wait to get home to Millie and tell her the news.Again, I couldn’t be more grateful that our apartment wasn’t far from the big league, and so, in no time, I got back to the apartment.“You are back so soon,” Millie said as soon as she opened the door and saw me.And I hugged Millie tightly.“Okay, this is new,” Millie stated.I held onto Millie as though my life depended on it, and I just couldn’t let her go. I didn’t want to let her go.“Carmen, what is going on?” Millie asked.She was beginning to sound worried, so I had to untangle myself from her, and then I led her into the living room and we sat down.“You seem excited, and that is making me confused because you didn’t look like this when you left the house about two hours ago,” Millie said before I could start speaking. “And I wasn’t expecting you to be back this early,” she added.“I

Chase’s POV“Dear Chase Maddox, I wish to inform you that I will be spending the weekend with my family...”I exited the mail and dumped my cell phone, but this was the sixth time I was going back to the mail since I received it, coupled with the fact that I was still reeling with the shock and guilt of Carmen’s actions.She had tossed the money at me and left, untouched.And then I had realized, more than after I had done it, that I made a grave mistake.Not that we would never have had this conversation about the sex, but it should have been in a mature manner, and I could have just told her that it wasn’t something that we would ever let repeat itself.For heaven’s sake, she was Donny’s daughter!I was almost going insane with these troubling thoughts that I picked up my phone again and went back to the mail.“After this weekend, I will return to work. If you need anything, you can let me know via this email or…”For the seventh time, I exited the mail, but I couldn’t dump the phon

Carmen’s POVMillie and I got down from the cab and went in through the gate. We didn’t need any formalities at the front door because they already knew that I was a part of the family.“Carmen!” Lori screamed loudly as she descended the stairs.It was as though she was just waiting for us to walk into the living room for her to make a grand entrance.I caught sight of her personal assistant somewhere in the living room, and I wondered what she was doing here.“You made it!” She added as she got to where Millie and I stood.We both stood in the middle of the living room like strangers.As soon as Lori got to me, she took me into her arms and hugged me warmly.“Gosh, I am so glad that you could make it,” she said.I almost rolled my eyes at how extra and dramatic Lori would always be. She was acting as though I hadn’t been the initiator of this moment. Nevertheless, I allowed her to have the spotlight because that was what she always wanted.“Why are you dressed like this, Carmen?” Lor

Carmen’s POV“How did you know that I have been working for Chase Maddox?” I couldn’t help but ask when I got over my shock.“Is that how they respond to best wishes these days?” My dad asked, trying to tease, but I couldn’t even look at it that way.“I don’t remember mentioning it,” I said, still surprised.Also, I ensured that I stayed out of Chase’s pictures and videos, even when we went for the charity function at the basement, which also turned out to be his, and when we signed the endorsement deal with Edna Jones.I had no business being captured in any of his pictures or videos because I wasn’t the celebrity, he was. It was normal with every manager and the players they managed, which was why I still had to introduce myself as Chase’s manager sometimes.People didn’t really know, and that was just how it worked.“Come on, Carmen, don’t be rude,” Lori decided to chip in. “Your father already said congratulations, and the best response is to say thank you,” she lectured me as tho
