At The Table

Carmen’s POVI stood up, still stunned to my bones.“Oh, Carmen, thank goodness you are here now,” Steven Noble said as he ushered his guest into the living room. “I was thinking you would be busy with Sean right now,” he added lightly.“She came in for some water,” his wife responded, coming to my rescue because I was still too stunned to say anything.What was he doing here?How did he get access to Steven Noble, even to the point of being invited into their home?“Hello, Carmen,” my dad greeted with a mischievous grin.It was as though he was mocking me for refusing to help him get access to Steven Noble, and on the same day, he had been able to achieve that without me.“It’s good to see you,” he added coyly.I cleared my throat and mentally shook my head to be able to get out of my thought, and then I turned to Steven Noble.“I was told you took an early flight out of the city for work,” I said, trying to act normal.Seeing my dad here sent shivers down my spine. Lately, he had b

The Devil In The Form Of Her

Chase’s POV“Come to my house right now, Chase. Don’t make me wait.”That was the text I got from Tiana Donalds on my cell phone.“Well, about time,” I said to myself.I had been willing to speak to her since I got what I needed from Roger James and since Benjamin told me how critical Tyler’s condition in prison had become, but then again, I hadn’t known how to get in touch with her because she had been unavailable for a while now.“On my way.”I responded via text before leaving the big league in my car and going over to her house. It wasn’t far from the big league, so in less than ten minutes, I arrived at her house.She was sitting comfortably in her living room.“Took you long enough to get here,” she said, sounding cold.“I came as fast as I could,” I responded.“Sit down, Chase,” she instructed me sternly.Even though I hated being commanded, I sat down.“I am certain that you haven’t missed me, Chase,” she said.She also had a glass of brandy which she toyed with. Her lips and

To Die A Thousand Deaths

Carmen’s POVAfter my dad’s dangerous threat which came as a surprise to me, because he had never treated or scared me like that before, I simply couldn’t remain at the table.I formed an excuse and left.The rest of the day had been disturbing for me because even after my dad left with Steven Noble, I was restless. I wanted to send Steven Noble an email about being careful around my dad, but my dad’s threat kept stopping me.Steven Noble already made preparation for me to be taken back to my apartment after I closed, and this time around, I couldn’t turn it down because I didn’t have anywhere else to go.I didn’t even have the strength to decline, so I allowed the driver to take me back to my apartment.The moment I got into the house, Millie jumped on me.“Gosh, Millie, you startled me!” I said, trying to catch my breath.She almost made my heart to jump right out of my chest.“I am sorry,” Millie said even though she almost rolled on the floor with laughter.“You can’t be sorry whe

The Weight Of My Decision

Chase’s POV“This is the news that no one saw coming! Or maybe a few people guessed it because of how cozy they had been a few times. However, here is our confirmation! A few hours ago, Chase Maddox, the city’s Ice King, and the head referee, Tiana Donalds, publicly announce their relationship.”“What the heck, Chase?” Terry asked me angrily.He had barged into my apartment just to ask me this, and he came at the same time that Cindy Mayers had arrived with the same question on her lips.Then he had gone ahead to replay the news a hundred times over, so much that I felt disgusted hearing it.“Can you at least stop playing it on repeat?” I asked Terry with irritation.“I will play it for as long as I want to until I understand what the heck is being announced all over the city!” Terry barked at me.“Then you might as well do it in your house, Terry, not here,” I retorted angrily.I came to my apartment to cool off and hide, not to be bothered by the presence of anyone that would demand

A Deal

Carmen’s POVMillie had to leave for work really early in the morning. Being that she was away for a few days, she had to resume early.“Will you be okay?” She asked me before leaving.“Mm-hmm,” I responded, rising from the bed.“Are you sure?” She asked me, staring at me with deep concern.“Don’t do this, Millie,” I said tightly. “Don’t start feeling sorry and asking me too many questions. I already said I was fine, and that is it,” I added, a little too harshly.“Alright…I was just trying to make sure you are okay,” Millie said. “See you when I get back?” She asked me.“Yeah, sure,” I responded.After she left, I tried not to feel the pain I had been feeling all night.The news of Chase and Tiana being officially together hit like a ton of bricks. After we heard the news, Millie had tried to talk to me, but I shut down completely.I hadn’t wanted to talk about it.I still don’t want to.At night, the pain had been nearly unbearable. There were a few tears, and as much as I tried not

Seeking A Revenge

Chase’s POVEdna Jones sent an urgent message to Cindy Mayers, requesting to see me, and so we had both gone together after my training.One week later and Carmen still hadn’t shown up at the big league.Well, I would have to take my mind off her completely now; there were too many things I was handling that needed to be handled.“Thank you for coming as soon as you could,” Edna Jones said.Cindy Mayers and I were seated in her office.“Is there a problem?” Cindy Mayers asked on my behalf.“Yes, there is a problem,” she responded.“What’s wrong?” I asked before Cindy Mayers could.The only thing between us was the job she was doing. Other than that, there was nothing more, especially after the last altercation we had at my apartment.After that, she had become stricter and more professional.Maybe it was a thing between managers because whenever there was an issue, Carmen always acted extremely professionally.I didn’t care about Cindy Mayers anyway.Terry hadn’t spoken to me ever sin

Boyfriend Comes First

Carmen’s POVFinally, the weekend.It was such a relief to be away from Sean Noble for a while, even though it was just two days. Thankfully, Finn was there to ensure that Sean didn’t have a lazy Saturday.I woke up feeling less horrible.After Sean Noble accepted the deal I presented to him, he simply started putting in more seriousness and energy into his training.“Maybe I should have said it to him before now. That way, I wouldn’t have had to stress myself for too long,” I had said to myself.Even though I wasn’t there right now, I had the feeling that Sean would stick to the routine and not be relaxed.I had already concluded that by Monday, we would be ready to return to the big league and train with the other hockey player, but I hadn’t told Sean Noble yet. They had only two weeks left to the international game and I didn’t want Sean Noble to miss out on the trainings with his teammates which were also important.Thankfully, he had been able to stay away from his drugs and fem

A Different Kind Of Visit

Carmen’s POVAgain, the FBI instinct in me was kicking in and I wasn’t even fighting it, but this time around, jealousy and anger for not being chosen were added to it.“I should have even done my investigations before now,” I told myself as I hurried out of our bedroom.Millie was using a cab, and how I intended to catch up with her, especially if she had already gotten one, was beyond me, but I just didn’t give up.Staying in this apartment was like living with ghosts right now.I didn’t have any other friend to substitute Millie with. I certainly couldn’t go to Lori’s house to spend some time with them; they had made that house unbearable for me.I got to the front door and opened it, and I almost collided with someone who had just been about to knock.“Hey…” she said, taking a quick step back.I stopped instantly to stare at the person who had appeared at our door.It was Cindy Mayers, Chase Maddox’s new manager.She was dressed in a pair of leather pants, jacket, and heels, and I

Her Only Concern

Chase’s POVWhen I heard a knock on the door, I suspected that it was Tiana Donalds, and I wasn’t wrong.“What are you doing here?” I asked her harshly.She pushed past me and walked into my changing room.Her shirt was so tight that her cleavage was almost bursting out of her chest and I wondered if she enjoyed looking like this all the time.“Are we still going to go over everything?” Tiana asked me, looking around.I knew what she was talking about and my annoyance grew.“I don’t appreciate unannounced visits,” I responded.“I am simply reciprocating what you did to me that fateful night, Chase,” Tiana Donalds said with a coy smile.She was referring to the night I had grabbed her arm, trying to get her off Carmen’s back, and that was the worst mistake of my life.She was even the first woman I was holding like that, and I didn’t do more than that. After warning her off, I had simply left, but the public would never believe me, especially with that video evidence that Tiana had.I

Happy And In Love

Carmen’s POVFor the rest of the weekend, I couldn’t stop thinking about Cindy Mayers’ visit.If she had come to threaten me or warn me off Chase, maybe I would have been able to handle that, but what I never saw coming was being asked to help her understand Chase so that she could work well with him.“This is crazy,” I kept saying to myself.The rest of that Saturday and Sunday, that was the only thing I could think about.“Maybe I should have turned her down,” I told myself.But I hadn’t.She had sounded so genuine that I just couldn’t. Instead, I had spent one hour telling her everything I knew about Chase Maddox and how I was able to stay where other managers had failed.I didn’t hide a single thing from her.The only things I didn’t tell Cindy Mayers about were the story surrounding Chase’s eyes because that was something very personal to him, and then the sex we had mistakenly had, and I labeled it as a mistake because Chase treated me horribly afterwards.“I don’t know if it wi
