All Chapters of My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

~Chloe~The sleek black convoy arrived at Bellamy Estate, and the moment we stepped out of the car, I let out a sigh of relief. The estate was breathtaking.It was hidden away on a completely private part of the mainland coast. There were huge white stone villas built on different levels.There were also crystal-clear infinity pools that seemed to flow straight into the ocean. Then talking about fully stocked outdoor bars, alongside beautiful, well-kept gardens stretching as far as the eye could see.It was much better than the cramped contestants’ dorms at the main property.Before we could even take in the view properly, a small group of production crew members surrounded us with cameras rolling. They were broadcasting our arrival live to millions of viewers.“Welcome to the Bellamy Estate, couples!” the floor director called cheerfully, holding a microphone toward us. “We’re going live to the audience and want to hear your first impressions. Chloe, let’s start with you. How are

~Tinsley~I hauled my oversized roller bag forward, the wheels rattling loudly against the corridor.My muscles protested instantly. I had packed for every imaginable weather condition, and every potential catastrophe, resulting in a bag that weighed roughly as much as a small boulder.Before I could even catch my breath, a large hand reached past me. Alexei grabbed the heaviest, bulkiest part of my luggage without asking.He lifted it effortlessly with his right hand while balancing his own massive duffel in his left, as if they were filled with feathers.I stared at him for a moment, slightly offended by how easy he made it look.He muttered something under his breath, his voice low. I barely caught the words. “Women… always bringing enough luggage for a month when it’s just for one day.”My eyes narrowed. I stopped dead in my tracks, letting go of my side of the bag and crossing my arms over my chest.“Excuse me?” I demanded. “What did you just say?”Alexei didn’t even break his s

~Tinsley~Shortly after we settled in and explored the suite, a production assistant’s voice crackled over the intercom speaker in the hallway, instructing all couples to gather down at the main courtyard area.When Alexei and I walked out, Zane and Chloe were already waiting by the path. Zane looked as miserable and tightly wound as ever, standing several feet away from Chloe, while Chloe was busy posing for a stray cameraman.The producer stepped forward, smiling brightly. “Welcome, couples! Before you dive into your private menu options, we have a special surprise activity. It’s time for some horse riding!”We all stared at him in shock.That activity hadn't been written anywhere on the welcome card. But as the initial surprise wore off, a murmur of excitement rippled through us. It actually sounded like a lot of fun.A few minutes later, we arrived at the estate’s private stables.A handful of production crew members were buzzing around with cameras rolling, capturing every second

~Tinsley~My mind was spinning in a million different directions as Alexei swept me up into his arms and carried me against his chest as if I weighed nothing.I had only pretended to be weak, pretending that my legs could no longer carry me because I desperately needed an excuse to get away from Kelsey and Jun-Kai.I wasn’t actually hurt. I just couldn’t stay there for another second. I needed to leave. I needed to get away from the stable yard, from Kelsey standing beside Jun-Kai like she belonged there, and most of all, from the look on Jun-Kai’s face that I couldn’t understand.All I wanted was to escape the embarrassment, but the truth was, leaving didn’t make the pain go away.As Alexei carried me farther away from the cameras and the noise of the stable yard, I kept my face turned toward his chest.I tried to focus on anything else. Anything except Jun-Kai. But I couldn’t help myself.I slowly lifted my head and looked back over Alexei’s shoulder.Jun-Kai was still standing ther

~Tinsley~“Just… stay here with me,” I whispered, my voice cracking slightly as I looked up at him with tear-stained eyes.Alexei’s expression shifted, and for a brief moment, genuine concern flickered across his features.His eyes softened as he looked at me, clearly worried despite the way he usually hid his emotions.But true to form, the softness lasted only a second before he covered it with a naughty smirk. Raising an eyebrow, he walked towards me. “Stay here? Alright, I can do that. But only if you reward me. Should I ask for another kiss to seal the deal?”A half-laugh escaped me. I sniffled and quickly wiped at my cheeks, trying to hold back the smile that threatened to break through my tears.I refused to answer him, but my silence only seemed to encourage him.But instead, he sat down on the sofa beside me, his eyes fixed on mine with that infuriatingly confident look on his face.When he leaned closer, clearly intending to kiss me, my survival instincts kicked in. Just be
