Emily’s POV

“Where are we going?”

Julian just smiled, eyes fixed on the road. He didn’t even glance at me.

“Don’t be weird. I don’t want to be surprised. Tell me where we are going? I have to go to the studio early tomorrow morning.”

“You are so fussy,” Julian said with a laugh. “Usually you always stay up late even if you leave the next morning. Anyway, you sit down sweetly. You will know later.”

I crossed my arms and looked out the window, the city lights blurring past. “I’m serious, Jul

    Emily’s POV Alex pulled the car over to the curb, killing the engine but not moving to get out right away. He turned to me, his face still showing faint bruises around his jaw and eye, but his gaze soft and steady. “Thank you for driving me,” I said quietly, reaching out to trace the line of his knuckles gently. “Now please go home and rest. Don’t even think about going to practice or doing anything strenuous until that swelling goes down properly.” He covered my hand with his own, holding it tight against his leg. “Don’t worry about me. I’m tougher than I look. But Em… I really am sorry. I hate that my life keeps spilling over into yours, that my past keeps causing problems for everyone around us. I never wanted you to have to deal with this kind of mess.” “Alex,” I said firmly, leaning closer so he’d really hear me, “I know you. I know exactly who you are—better than Karen ever could, and better than anyone else who’s only seeing bits and pieces from the outside. And ho

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 107: Don’t Give Her What She Wants

    Emily’s POV Kara’s eyes went wide and sharp the second Alex finished telling us what had happened at his door. “Completely lost it? That girl has been crazy about you for years, and now she’s gone absolutely off the rails! She’s not just hurt, Alex—she’s dangerous.” I sat forward on the sofa, my hands folded tight in my lap. “I think I need to talk to her. Face to face. I need to ask her exactly what she thinks she’s doing.” Alex turned to me quickly, his expression tight with worry. “Em… no. We have no idea what she’s capable of right now. She’s not thinking straight. And honestly?” He paused, running a hand roughly over his hair. “I’ve even thought about walking away from the team entirely. Just handing in my spot and stepping back.” “What?” I stared at him, shocked. “Why would you do that? None of this is your fault. And Kael… he’s being unfair, dragging his personal mess onto the ice and letting it affect everyone.” “I know it’s not right,” Alex said quietly. “Bu

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 106: The Mask Slips

    Alex POVI was just pulling my clean shirt over my head, ready to crash—the throbbing in my face hadn’t let up, and my mind was still spinning over the fight with Kael—when the doorbell started ringing.One long chime. Then another. Then again, fast and frantic, like someone was leaning on the button and wouldn’t let go.I glanced at the clock: 11:47 PM. For a second I thought about ignoring it. I was exhausted, sore, and had zero patience for more drama tonight. But the bell kept going—sharp, insistent, cutting through the quiet until it felt like it was pounding right behind my eyes.Finally I strode over, flipped the lock, and pulled the door open.Karen stood there. Her hair was messy, her eyes puffy and red, and tears were streaming down her cheeks before she even looked up. Before I could ask what she was doing here, or tell her to go find Kael, she lunged forward and wrapped her arms tight around my neck, sobbing into my shoulder.“Alex… I’m so sorry. I’m so, so sorry for

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 105: The Offer and The Threat

    Emily’s POVThe taxi rolled quietly through the streets, and Kara leaned forward, talking animatedly about everything from the best bakeries in the city to the wildest rumors she’d heard back at campus. But my gaze was fixed on the passing buildings, my mind far away—looping back to the fight, the bruises on Alex’s face, Karen’s frantic lies, and the way Kael had looked at me like I’d betrayed him too.“Hey… Em?” Kara waved a hand gently in front of my face. “You haven’t heard a single word I just said, have you?”I blinked, turning to look at her, and offered a sheepish sigh. “I’m sorry. I just… my head’s too full right now.”“Still stuck on Karen and Alex, aren’t you?” she asked softly.“Yeah,” I admitted. “Everything feels off. Like none of this adds up the way it should, and I’m missing the biggest piece of the puzzle.”Kara studied me for a moment. “But how do you feel about Alex? Do you think he’s keeping something from you?”“Not at all,” I said firmly, without a second’s

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 104: The Lie and The Truth

    Emily’s POV I walked beside Alex all the way into the small clinic near the arena, my hand locked tight in his the whole time. He kept glancing over at me, his gaze soft and apologetic, squeezing my fingers every few steps like he was trying to say I’m sorry for this without speaking a word. I knew he hated seeing me upset, hated that I had to watch him get hurt, and hated most of all that I might start doubting him because of something he didn’t do. I squeezed back just as firmly—I’m right here. I believe you. The nurse cleaned the scrapes on his cheek and jaw, dabbed antiseptic on the split in his lip, and pressed an ice pack to the dark bruise blooming around his eye. She worked quietly, telling us he’d be fine, just rest and keep the area clean, before stepping out to let us sit alone for a while. As soon as the door clicked shut, I turned fully toward him. “Alex… tell me exactly what happened. From the start.” He let out a long, ragged breath, leaning back against the pi

  • Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain   Chapter 103: The Fight That Broke Us Open

    Emily’s POV For the first time since I’d arrived in Paris, I felt like I was actually seeing it—not just rushing between my apartment, the gallery, and the arena, wrapped up in worries and deadlines. Kara and I wandered for hours: along sun‑dappled boulevards, past iron‑railed balconies draped in flowers, over cobblestone bridges where the Seine glittered bright blue. We stopped at every little patisserie that caught our eye, took silly selfies in front of grand fountains, and laughed so hard at old memories that passersby glanced our way. This was exactly the kind of day I’d dreamed of—simple, bright, and full of my best friend—and I couldn’t quite believe it was finally real. By late afternoon, we sank into two wrought‑iron chairs outside a quiet sidewalk café, ordering cold lemonade and watching the world drift past. “So…” Kara leaned forward, swirling the ice in her glass. “How long are you planning to stay here, anyway? You never really said.” I rested my chin in my hand,

    Emily’s POVI stared at myself in the mirror and barely recognized the girl looking back.The tight black dress Kara lent me hugged every curve, short enough to make me tug at the hem nervously. My eyes were still puffy from crying, but I’d managed to cover most of the redness with makeup. Lip glo

    Emily’s POVMy legs felt loose and heavy at the same time as I stumbled back toward the bar. The music pulsed louder in my ears, each beat slamming against my skull. Kara’s warning from moments ago still rang in my head, but I pushed it away. “Another one,” I told the bartender, slapping my hand
