The Hockey Star And The Widow He Shouldn't Love . 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

ANNIt was Harry.He was about to throw another punch, but I grabbed his arm quickly and dragged him outside.“You should have let me finish him,” he said, still angry.The tension in me slowly melted away.“Thank you, Harry,” I said softly. “I appreciate it.”“It’s nothing,” he replied. “Come on, I’ll take you home. I’ll send someone to bring your car.”When we got back, Duke was pacing outside, his phone pressed to his ear.The moment he saw me step out of Harry’s car, he stopped.“Looks like someone’s been waiting for you,” Harry said lightly.I didn’t respond. I already knew Duke had been trying to reach me. My phone had been off the whole time.I had only sent Louis a message about leaving.“Thank you for today,” I told Harry. “I’ll head in now.”Duke followed me inside immediately.“You can’t keep doing this,” he said the moment the door closed. “Shutting me out every time something goes wrong. You left without a word. Your phone has been off. And now you’re out with him.”His v

DUKECoach was discharged today. I volunteered to bring both him and Ann home. Not because I had nothing to do, but I couldn’t stay away. I have tried so hard to fight these feelings, heaven knows I tried; the more I fought it, the stronger it became. Seeing Ann cozy with Louis pricks my chest. I have never loved a woman in a way that I want her all to myself; this feeling scared me.She had already been through too much. The last thing she needed was another man confusing her, making her think all he wanted was her body.“I miss her,” I muttered under my breath.There were days I wanted to pull her into my arms and hold her there. Days I wanted to hear her laugh again, to see her look at me like I was the only person in the room, kiss her, and do some crazy things with her.She wouldn’t even look at me.“We’re here,” I said, stepping out and opening the door for them.I grabbed my bag from the trunk and dragged it inside.“What’s with the bag?” Louis asked. “I don’t think that’s min

ANNMy heart jumped. How did I not notice it? This is the moment I need my brain to come up with something.Think, Ann. Think.“Are you just seeing it now?” I said quickly, forcing a small laugh. “You remember the day you got discharged from the hospital? I went to get coffee at the café.”I kept my tone light.“Then out of nowhere, this man grabbed me from behind and kissed my neck. He thought I was his girlfriend. Can you imagine?”I shrugged like it was nothing. I am becoming too good at lying freely without wobbling. If what I said made sense, it's up to Louis to believe.Duke laughed.“That guy is crazy.”“Yes,” I said. “Very crazy.”Louis didn’t say anything.He just smiled and continued eating.I left early the next morning for the salon. I only met the chef and the cleaner that early, before I left.Louis has always been weird, not allowing strangers to sleep in his house. While we were dating, he never took me to his house. When I got there, one of the girls stopped me.“Be

ANNNot in my wildest imagination would I picture this. Duke’s mother and David are kissing and smooching so hard that her dress is on the ground. Is Louis inside there? I thought I saw his car. This family is messed up.I tiptoed away from the window to where the car was parked. My eyes caught the plate number.It wasn’t Louis’s car. I got it wrong.I hurried back to my car, my head struggling to process everything. This little detective work I gave myself is messing with my head.Back at Louis’s house, he was getting out of his car at the same time as I was.This was it. I’ve had enough.“Are you gay, Louis? Is that why we never had sex when we were dating? Why? Why didn’t you tell me? Do you know how that makes me feel?” I said everything at once.I’m tired of everyone playing me. This isn’t about his sexuality; it’s about the lies. Why lead me on when his heart is somewhere else?“What are you saying?” he replied quickly. “No, I’m not. I’m straight. I’m attracted to women. I would

CHAPTER 28ANNI simply stood there as he carefully cleaned me, using moist wipes to gently wipe around my pussy and his cum splash.“You have the most tempting pussy. Never think I could get addicted to something like this,” he murmured.Was that meant as a compliment? If so, it fell flat.“I saw the blank check,” he continued, “in your bed. It had my mother’s signature. I know her well; she’s obsessed with getting her brother hooked. So tell me, why are you dating Louis?”I clenched my fists behind my back. I pushed open the lavatory door and walked out, ignoring his question, though I could hear him smirking behind me.############Finally, in San Francisco, the female concierge was reviewing our reservation. She was clearly smiling at something Duke had said to her.Pathetic flirting already. He was garnering all their admiration, typical superstar privilege.“Let’s go, Ann.”Now I was suddenly Ann. What happened to my love? I led the way, even though I didn’t know my way around.
