Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Kabanata 241 - Kabanata 250

Carmen’s POVEven though Chase didn’t inform me about what he thought about the appointment with Edna Jones, I booked it anyway.And when it was time, I went back to him, even though I didn’t want to.Fortunately for me, leaving him alone for about two hours gave me time to rethink and reset. A part of me wanted to quit almost immediately.I would have called Millie to vent, but she would remind me that she did tell me to take the deal. She would say that she told me so, and I didn’t want that, so I had given myself the pep talk I needed.“I am not going to allow Chase Maddox break me,” I declared.Oh, I did shed a few tears because of his hurtfully piercing words, but that was all, and right now, neither Chase nor anyone else would have been able to guess whether or not I had shed some tears.“It’s time for your appointment with Edna Jones,” I told Chase strictly.He wasn’t staring at me, and I couldn’t tell if it was because he was still mad, even though he didn’t even have any righ

Carmen’s POVTyler’s mother had no choice but to bow to Chase’s wishes even though it pained her to do so, but that wasn’t what bothered me.Over and over again, Chase had shown me that I didn’t know much about him as much as I did, and he would always do things without my knowledge. Despite the fact that I had been working for Chase for months now, he still didn’t trust me enough to let me handle all his affairs.A part of me was awed by his thoughtful kindness; not many people would have thought to do something like that, and that made me conflicted. Chase was confusing me with his contrasting personalities.He was considerate and kind when no one was watching, just like what he was doing with the basement, but then again, at the same time, he acted like a heartless man.The other part of me was upset that he didn’t tell me about it.“That was a good one, Carmen,” Chase said as soon as we drove out of the home of Tyler’s parents. Because my mind was adrift, I didn’t quite catch his

Carmen’s POVBy the time I got to my apartment, my cell phone was already buzzing.“Millie, what’s wrong?” I answered the call.“Have you seen the news?” She asked me worriedly.“My phone has been buzzing. I haven’t had time to check it,” I responded. “I just got into the apartment,” I added.“Is everything okay, Carmen?” Millie asked worriedly.“Is something wrong with the way I sound?” I asked.Millie was at work and I was even surprised that she had the time to call me. I didn’t want to bother her or disrupt her day because of my own problems. Besides, I didn’t think that my voice was sounding the same way my heart was feeling.“First of all, that question just signified that something is wrong, and secondly, you wouldn’t usually be home at this time,” she responded.Oh well, I had been caught.“I just needed a break,” I lied.“Is that why you and Chase were captured fighting in his car?” Millie asked me, much to my astonishment.“What are you talking about?” I asked, already alert

Carmen’s POV“I can’t believe you turned down Steven Nobel again, Carmen,” Millie said when she came back from work and I told her about everything that had happened.Including the wealthy man’s call.“I just had to,” I answered.“But why?” Millie asked, deeply confused. “Chase doesn’t obviously value you. You have seen it for yourself, haven’t you?” She questioned me more deeply.“But that doesn’t mean that I should take the offer,” I said.“Again, I don’t understand why you shouldn’t, and I am really worried about having this conversation because whenever it comes to Chase Maddox, you are very edgy. I could say a word right now and you would take offense,” she said extensively.Millie was referring to the last conversation we had about this and how it ended, and quite frankly, I couldn’t blame her.The truth was that I was still very raw and hurt about everything that happened, and as such, I couldn’t control how I received words that were said harmlessly.“You don’t have to be like

Carmen’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about what my heart was telling me.Was my dad Donny?There wasn’t anything that could have signified that he was, but at the same time, how in heaven’s name did he just casually make that statement.“When Chase Maddox told me…”It sounded as though they had been communicating, and I had no idea about it. On a second thought, if my dad was Donny, then that meant that he was the one who was responsible for what happened to Chase and Derrick. He did what he did to their eyes.My breath caught in my throat.For the entire night, I was restless.I couldn’t sleep a wink, so much so that I had to call Millie.She picked up on the third ring.“Goodness, Carmen, I told you not to wait up for me,” she said over the phone, panting.“Have you been running?” I asked her.“No, I haven’t,” she answered. “It’s midnight. Why would I be running?” She asked me impatiently.“Exactly why I am confused because I don’t understand why you should be panting,” I said. “I
