All Chapters of The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Chase’s POVSince I woke up, I had been going from one exercise to another.I started with my usual early morning jogging around the big league, but this time around, it was different. I pushed myself too hard.I ran too fast.It was as though running fast enough would get the troubling thoughts out of my mind, but the faster I went, the more the thoughts lingered.“You shouldn’t feel bad or guilty. It was consensual. She already took the pill. Just take this as a score against Donny for what he did to you. It’s not a big deal. Don’t let it ruin what you have worked so hard to build…”Those were the thoughts that contradicted what I was feeling deep inside.After running, I had a cold bath, and I intentionally skipped breakfast.The next was pushups, and usually, I would have done about two hundred of it, especially if I had already taken the run, but this morning, I went double, and by the time I was done, I could barely feel my legs.But I couldn’t stop thinking.It was even worse b

Carmen’s POVWhat in heaven’s name was Sean Noble’s father doing in our apartment?How did he even find my apartment?“I don’t think it’s polite to keep a man’s hand waiting, especially a man my age,” Steven Noble said.His smile hadn’t faltered, and even though he obviously had the money and power, he didn’t seem extremely intimidating.“Oh, I am sorry about that,” I said and placed my hand in his.He wrapped my smaller palm in his, maintaining a warm and friendly handshake.“This is my best friend, Millie Owen,” I said after he released my hand, gesturing to Millie. “We live here together,” I added.“It’s lovely to meet you, Millie Owen,” Steven Noble said.“It’s a pleasure to also make your acquaintance, sir,” Millie said.And he was polite enough to also exchange handshakes with Millie.“I have been standing here and waiting for quite a while before you arrived,” he said. “Do you think you could invite me in?” He requested politely.Oh, goodness me!“Yes, yes,” I responded hastily

Carmen’s POV“Are you going to take his offer?” Millie asked me.“I can’t even believe that you are asking me something like that,” I answered, already growing very upset.“Hold on a second, you mean you are not even thinking about it?” She asked me.“No, I am not,” I answered, and that was the truth.“But that isn’t what I heard you say to him,” Millie said.She was right.As soon as he left, Millie came right out, and I knew that she had overheard everything he had said, making it easy for me because I wouldn’t even have to relay the conversation to her, but then again, the greed in Millie’s eyes on the money he offered me was evident.She was also right when she said that it wasn’t what I had told him.“I will need a few days to think about it,” I had told him.“That’s perfect, Carmen, but don’t keep me waiting for too long, and when you give your response, let it be something that will make us both happy,” he had responded.And then he had left.As soon as he did, it was as though

Chase’s POVBenjamin’s words were the only reason Tyler mellowed down.He had been about to attack me, but for the handcuffs, but now, he simply stared at me with hatred and rage.“That’s not true,” Tyler said.We were all standing.He seemed so hungry and heavily laden by the handcuffs that I wanted badly to tell him to take a seat, but he was too consumed with his feelings to even bother with what I was worrying about.“It’s true,” Benjamin repeated.Then to convince Tyler, he turned to me.“Right, Chase?” He inquired.Even though Tyler seemed enraged, hateful, and embittered, I could see it in his eyes that there was a tiny ray of hope that it was true. He was evidently tired of being in prison, but then again, who wouldn’t be, especially with how bad he looked?“Yeah, right,” I responded tightly, feeling like I had been cornered.“I don’t believe him,” Tyler said.He was talking to Benjamin, but his gaze was fixed on me.“You should, Tyler,” Benjamin said convincingly.Now I reali

Carmen’s POVFor the first few seconds, I was struck by Chase’s demeaning question, but almost immediately, I got out of my shock.“Excuse me?” I said, hoping that Chase would actually say that he didn’t mean to speak to me like that.Right now, I wasn’t even bothered about how he found out.He was a hockey player and words must have gotten around, but asking me such a question was an insult to me, coupled with the fact that I was still dealing with the rippling hurt that his actions caused me.“You heard me right, Carmen,” Chase said, facing me squarely. “Why did you greedily take the deal Sean’s dad offered to you?” He had the audacity to repeat the question.Pain and anger rippled through me, making my heart bleed afresh.Ever since we had sex, Chase had just been unpeeling layers of his horrible personality. As though it wasn’t enough that he hurt me dearly, he wanted to ensure that my heart was completely broken. How cruel could he be?From the look in his eyes, he didn’t look re
