The Hockey Star's Remorse นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Reporters crowded the entrances, fans filled the halls in Ferraro jerseys, and every television replayed highlights of Sebastian skating across the ice like the city belonged to him. He had become exactly what he promised me he would become. A hockey star. A Ferraro heir. A man the entire country knew by name. People said he had turned his back on the Ferraro crime family to stay in professional hockey. People also said this would be his final tournament before marrying Camilla Moretti and returning to the family business for good. I kept my head down as I walked out of HR with my resignation file in one hand and the handover checklist in the other.

He was hiding the pain, he didn’t want his teammates to worry, he didn’t want the Falcons to know. He didn’t want anyone to see it. I lowered my head for a moment. “I’m sorry,” I whispered through trembling lips. “You’re still carrying this because of me.” When I looked back at the ice, Ryan was already leading his team into position again. The game wasn’t over. Not even close. The Blackhawks had drawn first blood. But the championship still had many minutes left. And somehow… Deep inside my heart… I knew Coach Harrison wasn’t finished yet.

I stood alone in the empty medical office long after she had left, staring at the closed door as if she might come back. She didn't and I deserved that. No amount of apologies could erase three years of silence. No amount of protection could erase the fact that I had been the one who broke her heart. With a slow exhale, I adjusted my jacket and left the medical wing. The sound of skates echoed through the arena as I walked toward the rink. Practice had already resumed after the medical evaluations, and the players were running drills with the intensity expected before the upcoming season. Coach Steve stood near the boards with his clipboard tucked beneath one arm. The whistle shrieked throug

My entire body stilled. The Khaelon Dravik. Star hockey player. Heir to the Dravik fortune. Captain of the undefeated Hockey Team. The face on every student poster, the name on every varsity jersey. The one everyone talked about like he was myth wrapped in flesh. Unreachable and my ultimate crush. My first love even if he never knew it. I used to watch his games through a cracked laptop screen, memorizing the sharp angles of his jaw under his helmet, the vicious grace of how he skated across the rink like a storm no one could stop. He didn’t just play, he dominated. And now, here he was.

Just the echo of our shoes and my pulse hammering too loud in my ears. He stopped near the trophy case, arms crossed, staring at the floor like it owed him something. “They’re getting worse.” I let out a short laugh that sounded brittle even to me. “You noticed.” “Yeah.” He rubbed the back of his neck, a habit I still remembered from when he was nervous about games. “I hate watching it.” My chest did something complicated — half hope, half anger. “Then why don’t you stop it? You’re the captain. They listen to you.”

I squeeze my burning cheek, my eyes filling with water as I stare up at my father. “Why did your hand strike my skin, Dad?” I sob, my voice shaking like crazy. “Why?” Darius gasps for breath, his chest heaving up and down. “Our hockey team is already facing a giant scandal, and now you go and bring this shame to our bloodline! How do you still have the guts to open your mouth?”

"You are not worthy of being captain of this team. Effective immediately, you are stripped of your title. Get off my ice. Now." The shock ripples through the rink, a collective gasp from the team. Ryder stands there, staring at the letter lying on the ice, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. He looks at Kai, who is wiping blood from his mouth smirking, and then at the coach, whose expression leaves no room for argument. Ryder turns and skates toward the tunnel, the weight of his humiliation heavier than any exhaustion he’s ever felt.

But as I looked at his name on the screen, I realized I didn't know how to explain what had just happened. How do you tell someone that you've accidentally destroyed your own career by betraying the most powerful family in your sport? How do you explain that the woman you thought was a nobody was actually hockey royalty? And how do you begin to make amends for a betrayal this devastating when the person you wronged has disappeared completely from your life? As I answered the phone, I could hear the excitement in my agent's voice: "Landon! How did it go? When do you sign?" I looked back at the Sterling Hawks building, knowing that I would probably never set foot inside it again.

She gave him everything; her fortune, her loyalty and her heart. But he repaid her with betrayal. Adriana Montgomery was born with wealth and power, but she gave it all up for love. She stood by Ethan Blake, her hockey star husband, after a career-ending accident left him in a wheelchair. She was his strength, his anchor and his biggest believer. Until tragedy struck. After losing their baby due to his neglect and distrust, Adriana discovered Ethan’s darkest secret. He was cheating on her this whole time… with his doctor. Shattered, Adriana walks away, tossing divorce papers in his face. But she doesn’t just leave, she strikes back. Behind the scenes, she is ready for revenge, se
