All Chapters of Love On Ice: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

*ERIC*“Hey, Mr. Wilkes, I’m gonna call it a night.”I looked up from my desk and saw Mrs. Lewis. She was my best employee. She’d been working here since my dad ran the company.She always came to do her job. It was rare that I’d see her mingling with the other workers.She’d even handled some of our most high-profile clients.“Okay, Mrs. Lewis. Did you get the file I sent you earlier?”“Yes. I saw it. I’ll take a look at it when I get home.”“Thanks. See you in the morning.”“Good night, Mr. Wilkes. Tell your dad hi for me.”“Yes, ma’am.”I grinned as she walked away from my office.I had a few more finishing touches to do before I could leave for the night.I had just signed off on a contract when my phone rang.“This message is for Eric Wilkes. This is the pharmacy on Fourteenth and Main. Your prescription is ready for pickup.”I let out a sigh of relief and loosened my tie.I’d been waiting days to get it.Just in time, too. I thought I was about to go crazy.Don’t get me wrong, J

*KACIE* “God, Kacie, why can’t you just let me see her?” “The last time I let you see her, you were in the hospital for a drug overdose while she was under the bathroom sink, convinced the monster that ‘took’ Daddy was going to get her.” “Why can’t you just let that go? I made it out alive.” “Next time you might not be so lucky.” “Is that what this is about?” There was shuffling on the other end of the phone. “Ahh…there it is. I got two points left if you want it.” Insulted that he’d even assume I wanted anything from him, I scoffed. “What? You’re too good for the good shit?” “Josh.” “Come on, Kace. Live a little.” That was the problem with Josh. What he considered living, I considered dying. Dying for the next fix. Dying to taste it again after never knowing if the next time would be my last. Literally dying. He knew exactly how to get inside my head, whether it was feeding me lies or offering me a piece of that sweet little rock that shimmered like diamonds under th

*ERIC*After Jamira told me I was smothering her, I didn’t know what to do or how to feel.I just knew I was hurting beyond words.I wanted to be next to her.Hold her.Breathe in her scent.I never realized wanting nothing but her could be a problem.I never meant to make her unhappy.I hated giving her space.It felt like everything was falling apart without either of us saying it out loud.I had to keep trying.I had to make sure I didn’t lose her.Most importantly…I had to respect her decision.“You gonna sit there sulking all day, or are you gonna come out and get some sunlight?”I rolled onto my side.“Eric… it’s been four days. This isn’t healthy.”“I know.”“You have to talk to her.”“I know.”“Don’t stay out here too long.”As I swam from one end of the lake to the other, I couldn’t stop my mind from wandering.Was I overreacting?Should I reach out and tell her where I was?Did she mean space inside the condo……or somewhere else?I probably should’ve asked that before I lef

*JAMIRA*We got into Eric’s car without a second thought.He pulled out of the garage as if every second cost him something.He kept his eyes focused on the road and gripped the steering wheel so tightly I thought his skin would rip.With white knuckles and pure ambition, he drove through the streets as if he were about to start a high-speed chase.I placed a hand on my stomach and the other on his thigh.“Eric, please slow down.”“There’s no time.”His eyes never left the road as he spoke.“What’s going on?”He stayed focused for a moment longer before answering.“It’s Kacie.”My mind started racing, coming up with the worst possible answers.Then my thoughts went straight to Kayla and her well-being.What happened to Kacie?She’s hurt.She’s lost.She’s dead.What about Kayla?Is she hurt too?Did she make it out alive?Where the hell was Walt?My mind refused to slow down.When we finally got to Walt’s house, I was able to breathe, but that was short-lived because the shit happenin

*WALT*The woman I loved shattered my heart three separate times in the same month.First, she gave me the best night of my life and acted like it meant nothing.Then I found out she was talking to Josh again.After that, I watched her lose herself to meth on my back patio.I should’ve listened to Eric.He’d had my back from the beginning, but I always thought keeping Kacie and me apart was his way of hating on us.After what I witnessed, I knew better.Seeing her crouched outside, twitching and threatening to cut Eric with a gardening stake was both terrifying and heartbreaking.I never expected to see her like that.Eric never told me how dark her past had been.Kacie never mentioned needing anything beyond a place to stay.Then she sat on my patio and dug her nails so deeply into her skin that blood ran down her arms.That shit was beyond my pay grade.When she told me she was complicated and came with a complicated past, I thought she was trying to let me down easy.I still convin
