Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 89: The Secret Admirer
Emily’s POVAfter we had finished walking through every section of the gallery, stopping to admire each display and lingering longest in front of my own paintings, Mr. Pierre suddenly appeared beside us, looking more animated and excited than I had ever seen him.He carried a small sheet of paper in one hand, and there was a wide, knowing smile on his face as he stepped close enough to speak without drawing too much attention.“Em, Alex—wait just a moment, I have some incredible news for you,” he said, his voice full of surprise.“A buyer has just come forward, and he has made a very unusual request: he wants to purchase all of Emily’s work—every single painting on display here today.”My breath caught in my throat, and I stared at him, certain I must have misheard. Beside me, Alex’s arm tightened around my waist, his eyes widening in equal shock.“All of them?” I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. “You mean every painting, not just one or two?”Pierre nodded vigorously, his s
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 88 - That day came too
Emily’s POV Finally, the day I had been waiting for arrived. After weeks of mixing colors, adjusting brushstrokes, and staying up late to finish every detail, it was time to go to the gallery and see my work properly displayed on the walls. It was also the day when the public would come to view them—and if I was lucky, some might even choose to buy one. Even so, I tried not to let my hopes run too high. This was my first real showing, and I knew better than to expect everything to go perfectly from the start. I stood in front of the full‑length mirror in my bedroom, smoothing the fabric of my dress and adjusting the necklace around my neck. My hands felt a little shaky, and my heart was beating faster than usual. No one from my family knew about this yet—not my parents, and certainly not Julian. Only Kara and Mrs. Anderson, the kind woman who had rented me my first studio space, were aware of what I was doing. Both had sent messages early that morning, full of encouragement and
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 87 - Truth Untold
Emily’s POV The restaurant Karen chose was warm and quiet, with soft lighting and the gentle hum of conversation around us. We sat across from each other at a small table near the window, and as soon as I settled into my seat, she leaned forward slightly, looking both relieved and uneasy at the same time. “Thanks so much for coming, Em,” she said, twisting the stem of her glass between her fingers. “I hope Alex doesn’t mind that we’re meeting like this, does he?” I smiled reassuringly, unfolding my napkin and placing it across my lap. “It’s completely fine, Karen. Actually, he came over earlier planning to have dinner with me, but when I told him I’d already agreed to meet you, he understood right away. He said it was no problem at all.” Karen’s face fell a little, and she let out a soft sigh. “Oh no, now I feel even worse. I didn’t mean to disrupt your plans or take time away from you two. I’m really sorry, Em.” I shook my head quickly, reaching across the table to touch her h
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 86 - Wrong Time
Emily’s POV Mr. Pierre moved slowly from one canvas to the next, his gaze sharp and attentive, occasionally stepping closer to study a brushstroke or a blend of colors. He had asked to see the finished works I’d set aside for his gallery, and as he turned to face me, there was genuine admiration in his expression. Truth be told, I still found myself looking at them and thinking of small changes I might make—little adjustments here and there that only I seemed to notice. But Pierre nodded firmly, as if there was no room for doubt. “These are wonderful, Em,” he said, resting one hand thoughtfully beneath his chin. “Truly impressive. I can already picture how they will look on the walls of my new space.” I smiled, though I still felt that familiar twinge of self‑doubt. “Thank you, Mr. Pierre. Honestly, I’m not entirely satisfied with every detail yet.” He laughed softly, walking toward the large window that lit up the studio. “You know, this will be my third gallery opening—and
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 85: The Weight of Two Hearts
Emily’s POVThe doctor’s words hung in the air as we left the clinic: Kael’s injury wasn’t serious enough to need treatment or further examination, but he would definitely have to stay off the ice and rest for a while—long enough to make sure his leg healed completely without risk of strain or re‑injury. Alex and the others helped him to his car, making sure he was comfortable before heading back to finish up at the arena, while Alex offered to drive me straight home.Inside the car, the afternoon light filtered softly through the windows, but my mind was still turning over everything Karen had told me earlier. I wanted to ask Alex about it—and about something else that had lingered in my thoughts ever since she spoke about their past. I turned slightly toward him as he merged smoothly into traffic.“By the way… I just found out you and Karen have actually known each other since elementary school,” I said, watching his profile. “Back then… why did you reject her?”Alex let out a lo
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 84: The Moment Everything Felt Real
Emily’s POV There was something truly enjoyable about watching Alex train like this. Even though I’d sat through countless hours of practice before—back when I used to accompany Julian to the same kind of rinks—seeing Alex out on the ice gave me a completely different feeling. The way he moved was sharp yet fluid, powerful but controlled; every turn, every pass, every burst of speed looked effortless, as if he and the ice were always meant to work together. Just seeing him smile or call out to a teammate made something light and warm settle deep inside my chest. I realized then that watching him play didn’t just feel like watching a sport—it made me happy in a quiet, steady way I hadn’t expected. “You really can’t stop staring at him, can you?” The voice beside me pulled me gently back to the present. Karen sat on the bench in the stands, a cold can of cola in one hand, grinning at me over the rim. My cheeks flushed a little, and I shifted my gaze quickly toward the rest of t

Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 22: The Ice Between Us
Emily’s POVThe arena was loud and electric, filled with cheers and the sharp scrape of skates on ice. Kara and I had come to watch Julian’s hockey match, armed with team scarves, banners, and even a silly foam finger I secretly hoped no one would notice. I told myself I was here for my brother.

Emily’s POVThe meal that day felt painfully awkward.I couldn’t stop stealing glances at Alex. He sat directly across from me, even though there was plenty of space next to Julian. Why did he choose that seat? Every time our eyes almost met, my heart stuttered and I looked away. The air between
