All Chapters of CHECKMATE MY ICY HEART: FALLING FOR THE HOCKEY CAPTAIN: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

HARPER’S POV The sight of the Mistress approaching forced me up from my seat. I didn’t even need anyone to tell me who she was. Lucas was right, she was very beautiful and sophisticated, but I doubted if she could be equal to me because I was way younger than she was. “My love! I am so glad that you are back! I was almost thinking that you were going to spend another day on your adventure.” “Never! I would never spend another day away from you, my love. I was getting bored with all the places we were going to.” The Mistress moved to the MR.. who got up from his seat and wrapped his arms around his wife. They kissed passionately as though I wasn’t right there in their presence. “I have missed you, Tara.” Lucas hugged his wife again before he turned to look at me. I was still standing right there, looking so small between the couple who were head over heels in love with each other. “Who is this lovely lady we have here?” Tara asked, staring at me with so much curiosity, but ther

CASPIAN’S POV “Is everything alright, Sir? Do you know the children?” The lady asked, but I couldn’t find any response to give to her. She moved closer after she observed that I was on the edge. “Is there a problem, Sir?” “I have to go! Thank you!” I sped off to the direction she had pointed, increasing my speed within a few seconds. Halfway to get out of the park, I spotted one of Will’s toys on the floor, and my heart started to beat faster. Several thoughts ran through my head, I prayed that none of them was going to come to reality. After I picked up the toy from the floor, I looked around until I saw a car that was about to zoom off. “Hey! Stop! Stop right there!” I called out to the driver, but the windows were closed, and the car had already started to move. I ran after it at once, and luckily, there was another car right on time to block it from making any other movement. “Will?! Will?!” I looked into the car, and as soon as I saw Will seated comfortably at the back, I

HARPER’S POV Fred shouldn’t have shown up in front of my house that evening, but he was already there, and it didn’t look like he was going to leave without accomplishing his mission. “Why are you here, Fred?” I asked for the umpteenth time while he was still looking at the car that dropped me and still kept his eyes on the direction even after the car had vanished. “Was that Charles? Was he the one who dropped you off?” “What does it matter? Why are you asking?” My response was quick and a bit harsh, but it was because I was tired and a bit upset with him for putting me in that position. All I wanted was a simple life where I would only have to go to work and focus all my attention on my son, but there I was going out on impromptu meetings with clients and their entire family members. “You shouldn’t have come here, Fred,” I said with a calmer tone after I saw that he wasn’t happy about the way I spoke to him. “I was wondering how the meeting with Charles went. You know that th

ASHER POV It had been two weeks since the ultimatum I gave to Caspian, but he was yet to give me feedback on how he was progressing. I was literally bored and the nagging from Sylvia didn’t let me have any peace of mind. I always reminded her about what the Doctor said about stressing herself, but it didn’t look like that was going to make her change her mind about bugging me like I was a teenager. She was very suspicious of every movement I made, and she monitored me like she was certain that I was trying to do something she had always feared. She thought I was still in search of Harper even though everyone believed that she was dead, but there was no evidence of that. But she was right, and I knew that it was going to cause some more trouble in the future. I had successfully secured some deals with two of the reputable companies in the new City after having several meetings with about five of them. Luckily enough, we had not been wasting our entire time while waiting for Caspia

CHAPTER NINETY ASHER’S POV Sylvia totally refused to listen to me no matter what I said in order to convince her. The fact that she refused to give me a good reason why she didn’t think we should have accepted the deal was most annoying. “You can’t just tell me not to accept this deal because you don’t feel good about it, Sylvia. That’s ridiculous.” I grunted inwardly, trying to keep my voice down. “Well, that’s how I feel about it. You don’t want us getting into something that we would regret in the future, I am sure of that. Those people look like they are trying to lure us into a trap.” “And how do you know that? You don’t even know them!”“Exactly! That’s the point, Asher. We don’t know them enough to determine if they are trustworthy or not.” Sylvia rolled her eyes at me and hissed. I didn’t know what else to say. I turned toward the living room where the MR.. and his son were seated and our eyes met with each other. I pretended like everything was okay with a smile on my f
