All Chapters of My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

~Zane~I looked between them, struggling to believe the conversation was actually happening.Everything Chloe did was somehow my fault while every objection I raised was treated as proof that I had no heart.I was expected to accept the engagement, marry her, merge our companies, and spend the rest of my life pretending I loved her.And if I refused, I would become the villain in a story where Chloe was always the helpless woman who had done nothing wrong.I was sick of it.“Do you want to know what I find interesting about this entire situation?” I asked, taking a step closer. “Everyone keeps talking about how much Chloe loves me, but nobody ever seems interested in asking whether I love her. Nobody cares whether I want to marry her or whether I want to spend the rest of my life waking up beside her. Apparently, my only responsibility is to make sure she gets everything she wants, even if it means sacrificing my own happiness.”“Love isn’t always about what you want!” Mother shot bac

~Alexei~I had checked my phone seventeen times in the last thirty minutes.Seventeen.And every single time, I had found absolutely nothing that could explain why I was still pacing around my living room like a man who had lost his mind.Tinsley had said she was coming over today. She had called me less than an hour ago, informing me of her plans as casually as though she were telling an ordinary friend she would be stopping by to borrow a book.She hadn’t even given me enough notice to prepare myself for her visit, yet somehow, that short conversation had been enough to ruin whatever peace I had been enjoying that morning.I had been looking forward to seeing her ever since we ended the show, but I would rather die than admit how much her presence or, more accurately, the possibility of her presence had begun to affect me.I picked up my phone again.No new messages.“Unbelievable,” I muttered, tossing it onto the couch before immediately picking it up again. “She says she’s coming

~Alexei~I shoved my hands into my pockets.“We do but we couldn’t ride them because Jun-Kai and your stepsister stopped by and you didn’t want to see them.”She glanced at me, completely ignoring the mention of Jun-Kai or her sister. “Do you remember when exactly it was taken? I remember the final week quite clearly, but some of the other days before the incident are still a little blurry. It’s strange, isn’t it? Knowing that you’ve experienced something but not being able to remember every detail of it.”I sat in the armchair opposite her.“Yes. It is.”She looked at the photograph again, her expression turning thoughtful.“I’ve been trying to remember more things lately. The doctors said I shouldn’t pressure myself, and I’m trying not to, but sometimes I get frustrated. There are people who seem to know me so well, and they keep talking about things we’ve done together, but I can’t remember any of it. I don’t like feeling as though I’m missing parts of my own life.”My fingers cur

~Third person POV~Two weeks had passed since the handsome man with the silver hair had visited then Thorne’s house and left without speaking to Mummy.Snow still remembered him.She remembered the teddy bear he had given her, too. It was soft, and perfect for cuddling at night, and she had decided that anyone who gave her such a lovely gift had to be a good person.She had even told her uncle, Elijah that she wanted to see the man again so she could show him how well she was taking care of his present.Elijah had laughed and promised that perhaps they would see him another day, but he hadn’t seemed particularly interested in discussing the matter.Snow had eventually forgotten about it when other things caught her attention, although she still thought about the man whenever she hugged her teddy bear before going to sleep.That afternoon, she was excited to be going out with Mummy and Elijah.They were visiting a shopping complex where Mummy needed to pick up a few things for the phys

~Third Person POV~Snow decided that the swings were the best place to begin. She climbed onto one and waited expectantly while Zane positioned himself behind her, looking down at the little girl who seemed determined to make him forget every responsibility he had waiting for him.“Push me!” she demanded, gripping the chains with both hands.Zane placed his hands against the back of the swing and gave her a gentle push, watching as she moved forward with a delighted squeal before swinging back towards him.“Higher!” she called, turning her head to look at him. “I want to go higher!”“You’ve already said that,” he reminded her, giving the swing another push. “And I would prefer that you remain on it instead of flying into the next state.”Snow burst into laughter, apparently finding the idea of flying into another state far more entertaining than frightening. “You’re funny, Uncle Kieran!” she exclaimed, kicking her little legs as the swing carried her forward again.Zane paused at the
