บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: บทที่ 301 - บทที่ 310

Carmen’s POV“You can’t take the offer, Carmen. She wants to compete with me. She has been looking for every means possible, and now, she wants to use you. If she wants to increase her business, then she has to think of another strategy. It doesn’t have to be endorsing a celebrity, especially a hockey player…” Those were Edna Jones’s words, and for the rest of the day, they kept haunting me.Edna Jones was nothing but a friend to me even though we had known for a very short time. She hadn’t asked me for anything before, and this shouldn’t really be difficult for me to turn down.Fiona had called me twice already in the day.“I haven’t gotten a response from you yet, Carmen,” she had reminded me.She was becoming more desperate, as though if she didn’t get the endorsement right away, her business would collapse immediately.Right from the party at Edna Jones’s country home, I knew that I wasn’t very comfortable around Fiona because she seemed like the nosy time who would stick her nos

Carmen’s POVDid Chase see me?I couldn’t help but wonder, but I realty hoped not.After Millie gave me that information, I couldn’t stop myself. The moment I heard the hospital address, I had hurried out of the house with no idea whether Chase Maddox was alive or badly injured.On my way to the hospital, my heart was beating furiously.“God, please, let Chase still be alive. Let him be alive,” I had prayed fervently and quietly.I kept repeating the words until I was certain that God would have been tired of hearing them. The thought of Chase dying made me shattered in ways I couldn’t explain.The mere thought of Chase being dead made me scared like I had never been before, and I instantly began to regret fighting with him.I would never forgive myself if Chase died without talking to him again even though he was the reason we couldn’t stand each other any longer. The last encounter had caused me to slap him, and by God, I didn’t want that to be our last encounter.I just didn’t want

Chase’s POVI woke up with a headache, and worse, later than I had wanted.“Jeez!” I lamented when I checked the time and saw that I was already late for training.How did I sleep this deeply?It was more than an hour’s drive from Terry’s house back to the big league, meaning that even if I left right now, the training would have been over before I got there.“Shit,” I lamented further and I was beginning to feel upset already.When I heard a knock on the door, I thought it was Terry.“Open the damn door,” I said, almost snapping.The door opened and his housekeeper walked in, carrying a cup of steaming coffee.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted respectfully even though she was way older than me.“Where is Terry?” I asked her.“He is in the living room, sir, but I have brought you some coffee,” she said.She placed the coffee on the bedside table and the aroma wafted into my nostrils, and I wanted it instantly. It would help with my headache.I didn’t get to sleep or rest yesterday beca

Chase’s POVA knock on the door woke me up. I didn’t even realize that I had dozed off while reminiscing back to the most terrible experiences of my life.“Who is it?” I asked.“It’s Terry,” Terry answered.I groaned internally because I hadn’t forgotten our argument in the living room hours ago.Terry opened the door and walked in.“I would have waited for you to ask me to come in, but something tells me that you wouldn’t,” Terry added as he walked into the room.“I am surprised that you are knocking in your own house,” I responded.“I wanted to be sure that you were awake,” Terry said.And then he sat down beside me on the bed.“Are you okay?” Terry asked me, sounding deeply concerned.“Of course, I am,” I responded.“You haven’t been acting like you are fine in a while now, Chase, and this is unlike you, which makes me really worried,” Terry admitted. “You have been very disciplined and focused, but ever since Donny’s daughter came into the picture, you have been acting up, and it

Carmen’s POVAs much as I hated to visit my dad and Lori, I had no choice, especially after the news. Before I even got there, the news was already out in the public.“A new member has been added to the white house. Victor Easton is the new member that has been elected into the house and all the benefits are going to be his as well. Congratulations to him, but a lot of people are wondering if his appointment was influenced by his daughter who recently started managing Steven Noble’s hockey star, Sean Noble. Let’s not also forget that the same Carmen Vega also recently got an appointment with the senior board of the hockey game. Is there something we are missing…?“Shit,” I said, shaking my head.They had written a couple of things but I didn’t want to read them, so I dumped my phone into my bag.I was already in one of Steven Noble’s cars heading to Lori’s house when I read the news.“They are always going to somehow make this about me and try to tarnish my image and hard work,” I mut
