All Chapters of The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chase’s POVThe moment I arrived back at my apartment, I found Terry waiting for me, and with the look on his face, I knew that he knew already.“Linda, could you take the rest of the day off and resume tomorrow?” I asked my housekeeper.“Alright, Mr. Chase, thank you,” she responded.We both waited for Linda to leave before we said anything to each other.“What the heck, Chase?” Terry was the first to speak the moment Linda walked out through the door and he was certain that she was out of earshot.“What?” I asked as though I didn’t understand what Terry was on about.“Why did you go to Donny?” Terry asked me.“Why shouldn’t I?” I fired back.“I thought you had left your past behind,” Terry said.“Did Hace also tell you what he did to a young boy?” I asked Terry since he was being judgmental right now.“You mean Derrick?” Terry asked, much to my surprise.“You knew?” I asked him.“Yes, I do,” he said.“Since when?” I asked him.“Does it matter?” Terry asked me in return.“Just answer

Carmen’s POVMillie took eternity to stare at the name as though it was the first time she was seeing it or hearing about it.I had told her about it, and even showed her the receipt when my rent was paid.“Why are you taking so long to look at it?” I asked her, tired of waiting for her to say something.The moment I called Millie in the morning and told her to come by the apartment in the evening when I would have been back from working for Chase, she had agreed immediately, almost as though she had been waiting for my call.When she walked in through the door some minutes ago, it hadn’t even felt like we had broken up and I had gone right to telling her all that happened, showing her all the groceries, and the name.“I am just confused, Carmen, a little,” Millie said.“Then stop staring at it,” I said and Millie dropped the paper.“What are you going to do now?” Millie asked.“Me? Isn’t it because I didn’t want to deal with this alone the reason you are here?” I asked her in return.

Chase’s POVI contemplated for a minute whether or not to reverse and never come back.A friend of Donny’s was my enemy, and if Kevin was already entertaining Donny, then I didn’t need his gym anymore. Besides, I had my gym already, and it was serving me just fine, only that sometimes, I wanted different environment that wasn’t my house or my facility, and at the same time, not a crowded area.And I didn’t know any other gym in the city that was as exclusive as Kevin’s.“Give people the benefit of the doubt, Chase,” a voice in my head advised me.Usually, I wouldn’t bother about it because the moment I sensed that I was going to get played, I would walk away and never look back. This stemmed from what Donny did to me; the betrayal and manipulation and trying to take advantage of me.This was exactly why I didn’t even have friends.A lot of people were good at betrayals than loyalty, and I couldn’t afford someone else doing what Donny did to me, even if it would be in another form. It

Carmen’s POV“Ouch!” I yelled in both pain and shock as I found myself on the ground.Jonathan Price didn’t even stop to offer an apology after kicking me to the ground, and worse, Chase didn’t act like anything happened.He remained in his chair.I had to stand up all by myself as though I had just presented a shameful show and I dusted my butt, feeling slight pain on it.“You could have at least shown some sympathy,” I said.“Shut the door,” Chase said coldly.I couldn’t tell if he was acting because he was still upset with Jonathan or if he had simply gone back to being very mean. Anyway, I shut the door as instructed.“And you shouldn’t stand in the way of angry people next time,” he retorted.I didn’t know what to say at this point, so I simply kept mute. This wasn’t what I expected to meet on a good morning, especially after I just realized that I might be having some sort of feelings for him. Staring at Chase now, he seemed really cold and distant. It was as though I was standi

Carmen’s POVI rolled my eyes and my sleeves as I sat down behind my desk and got to work.“He is such a spoiled star,” I murmured to myself. I knew that Chase Maddox was cold and arrogant, but he had begun to include cockiness in it and it just wasn’t nice anymore.He seemed to be getting colder and colder by the day, and I wondered when it would stop.Thinking about the event coming up, I didn’t need to be told that with everything going on around Chase, this was his chance. Although, to be quite honest, I didn’t know what his exact plans were. Wasn’t the event just meant for mingling and drinking cocktails?I took my phone and googled it, and it didn’t seem like there was anything special happening there other than top athletes, referees and coaches assembling together and having a good time in fancy and expensive dresses. I hadn’t been to the event before, and if it wasn’t for Chase I wouldn’t even get any close, I knew about it.Everyone in the city knew about it.It was just as
