All Chapters of The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Carmen’s POV“What happened?” Chase asked.I couldn’t deny that I was surprised at Chase’s questions. He never seemed like the type that would care for any form of personal details. He rarely even conversed with me, but we had been in this room for over thirty minutes now, and it didn’t seem like we were leaving any time soon.“My dad wanted me to work at his friend’s law firm,” I said.“That’s all?” Chase asked.“Yeah,” I answered casually, and he scoffed. “What, you don’t think that is enough reason for me to rebel?” I asked him.“Certainly not,” Chase answered tightly. “Trust me, some kids grew up without dads to hand them jobs,” he added.That pain and anger again, but this time around, it was in the sound of his voice and not his eyes. I bet Chase was trying to hide it, but I heard it, loud and clear. Some other persons might have missed it, but definitely not me.But I didn’t push it…not now.Chase might think that he was getting away with it, but he didn’t know that I already k

Chase’s POV“Chase,” Terry called.I turned and saw him come into my living room from the kitchen with cup of coffee.“Are you still here?” I asked him indifferently.“You have just been sitting here and staring into thin air,” he observed. “For someone who just won another home game, this is not the mood I was expecting to see you in,” he added.Then he took his seat across from me on the other sofa and sipped from his cup of coffee.Terry had drawn me out of my thought for a minute, and I was grateful that he did, because it was beginning to make me upset, and I also realized that every time I had an encounter with Carmen, I always went back to my past.I had buried it years ago, and had lived with the determination of never going back there, but then again, Carmen always dragged me back there.And this was the second time.Maybe I would have to stop talking to her, because I couldn’t just let her come and ruin all the hard work I had done to ensure that the past stayed buried. A lo

Chase’s POVMy phone beeped very early in the morning when I was getting ready to go for my morning run.“Who could be texting this early?” I asked myself.I picked up my phone and checked the message.“Be at my office at 8:00a.m today. A second late will not be tolerated.”I sucked my teeth at the message. It was from the head of hockey coaches, Mr. Lawrence.“Why would he be texting me this early?” I asked myself again, but I didn’t let the thought linger.Instead, I began to play a cool song as I proceeded to go for my run. No matter what, I would always have this run. It helped to keep my body and soul together. I always ran along the boulevard of my neighborhood at a time when everyone was still sleeping. That way, I would not be distracted by star-struck fans. My headphones were always on my head, and music always played. That way, I would be able to zone out everything else and focus on my body and thought.It always helped to prepare my mind and body for the day.I took an hou

Chase’s POV“Good morning, Ice King!” Mr. Lawrence’s personal assistant greeted cheerily, but I didn’t miss the lust in her eyes.“Good morning, Kate,” I said dully.I was hardly ever here because there was rarely the need to, but the few times I came, Kate was always sounding like this, and somehow, she always had the top buttons of her blouse undone, revealing full cleavage.But I never gave her even the slightest green light.First of all, she wasn’t my type; too busty, and secondly, I wasn’t in the game for any distractions. Not that I didn’t indulge in sinful pleasures from time to time, but it wasn’t something I did regularly. I only did it occasionally because it is advised for players to release pent-up sperm every once in a while. Also, the women I go for were really discreet ones with definitely no strings attached.“It’s so lovely to see you,” she said suggestively.It was about five minutes to the time that Mr. Lawrence stated in his text, but it didn’t mean that I had to

Carmen’s POV“A freaking suspension!” Chase barked furiously.I almost jolted out of my seat in shock, and I wondered why Terry and Jonathan didn’t seem moved.This was a part of Chase that I hadn’t seen before.Since I got this job and started working for Chase Maddox, I had seen all shades of his anger, more than I had seen him laugh or even smile, but this was a different shade, and I wondered how many shades or layers of anger he had.Each one always scared the shit out of me.Terry and Jonathan seemed relaxed. Well, not particularly relaxed, but they weren’t as scared as I was, and they definitely didn’t move their butts an inch in fear. They had probably seen of all Chase’s anger and gotten used to it.It made me wonder if Chase ever had moments where he smiled or laughed. Did he have something that made him happy or was he just constantly enraged and upset?“Chase, calm down,” Jonathan said.“Don’t freaking tell me that or I am going to ask you to get the hell out of my house!”
