All Chapters of Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Renée"We really don't know what is going on with your mother, but we are certain that it is more than just the tumor growing." The doctor told me father and I. "But... You haven't deposited the complete money yet, which is what is keeping us from starting the surgery. You need to take this seriously. Her life is at stake, and at this point, she won't be able to survive the next three months."My father's face slumped, and I had to put an arm around him to steady him from falling. I nodded to the doctor and thanked him before guiding him to the chairs outside the doctor's office."Father... How about we take a loan? My business is already in the drain, and..." I was trying to explain. "Or... We could call my brother. He has a lot of money that could—""Save it!" My father's voice sharpened. "He is no son of mine, and the day you reach out to call him. That will be the last time that I will see you as my daughter. I wouldn't mind being called childless since both of you want to go agai

RenéeI timed him this time, and when his assistant told me that he was currently on seat in the company, I was already driving there. Driving into the underground parking lot after I mentioned being Dante's fiancée filled me with something I couldn't explain. But it was more of pride, and a strong overwhelming fear that Lori's presence would still ruin everything.But that wasn't why I was here today. I needed to make sure my mother got the emergency surgery before the week was over. I stepped out of the car, taking a deep breath and admiring the company that was soon going to be mine, because whatever belongs to Dante would also be mine as his wife.I used the underground elevator that took me to his office on the top floor, and his secretary smiled tersely before trying to stop me."Miss Renée, welcome. Do you have an appointment with the boss?"I scoffed and shook my head. "I do not need an appointment to see my husband, Camille. I think it's time you got that into your thick skul

Dante DominicI had barely dropped the call with Lori's biological mother when my phone range and Lori's pet name flashed on the screen. I quickly swiped my screen and my hands reached out to my keys in case she needed me right this moment."Babe?" I said slowly, and my heart dropped when I heard her sniffing from the other end of the call. "Lori?"She was crying so hard, and I was already out of my seat, abandoning everything at once, even ignoring my father who stopped at the door for whatever reasons he came to find me. My only priority was Lori."Lori... Say something please..." I rushed into the nearest elevator, barking orders for all the staff to step out in case Lori wanted saying something sensitive. Was it Renée again? Did anyone in the house upset her? Had she regained her memories?"Give me that..." I heard a male voice in the background that sounded quite familiar, and when he finally addressed me, I didn't know whether to feel extremely annoyed or thankful that he was th

LoriThe hospital room was quiet. Luca was stable now... the transfusion had worked, the poison was being flushed from his system. He was sleeping peacefully in his crib, his tiny chest rising and falling with each breath. Beside him, Ava dozed in her own bassinet, unaware of the chaos that had nearly torn her brother away.Dante was beside me, his hand wrapped around mine. He hadn't left my side since he arrived. And Silas was still here too, hovering in the corner like a ghost who couldn't let go."You remembered him..." Dante said beside me, and mouthed towards Silas. "Are your memories slowly returning?" He smoothed my hair slowly.My memories... How could I forget? I was supposed to be playing as a memory loss victim, and I completely slipped."Um... Yes..." I twisted my hands nervously in my laps, but Dante only chuckled and leaned into my ears to whisper something. "Or the memories have always been intact, which is it?" He smirked, and I felt my heart skip a beat.He knew?I r

The FalloutRenéeThis changed everything completely. I paced my room, my silk robe billowing behind me, my mind spinning through every possible implication. Dante had a biological child now. A son. His heir. The one thing his father had been holding over his head... the need for legitimate heirs to carry on the Dominic name was no longer an issue. Luca was legitimate enough, born within Dante's marriage to Lori. And even if Alexander refused to acknowledge him, the pack would know. The world would know.My position as Dante's future wife had just become infinitely more precarious.I stopped pacing and stared at my reflection in the mirror. The woman looking back at me was beautiful, yes. Poised, certainly. But her eyes were wild with panic, and her hands were trembling. I gripped the edge of the vanity and forced myself to breathe."Think," I whispered to myself. "Think. You've come too far to lose now."The door opened without a knock. My spine went rigid with fury... Who dared ent
