Julian watched helplessly as Valeria and Shawn turned around and walked away, blending back into the crowded ballroom. As they took their first few steps, Shawn slightly turned his head and cast a glance back over his shoulder. A victorious, mocking smile was smeared across his lips. It was a look that clearly said, “I won this round, and she is with me now.”

As soon as they left his line of sight, Julian slowly closed his eyes in deep, agonizing frustration. He felt a heavy weight press down

    With a cold, decisive swipe, Julian immediately turned the phone completely off, the screen going pitch black. He tossed the device onto the marble counter like a piece of trash, cutting off his mother's access to him completely. Everywhere went silent for a second. The ticking of the grand wall clock seemed to slow down as the heavy realization of the past five years settled between them. Julian took a deep, shaky breath, holding his head in his hands for a brief moment as he processed the crushing weight of the betrayal. The silence stretched between them, thick and heavy with the ghosts of the letters that were never sent, the words that were never spoken, and the years that had been stolen from them by someone he'd trusted most. Slowly, he got up from the velvet sofa. He reached down and pulled off his heavy, customized team jersey, tossing it carelessly to the fluffy sofa without a second thought. This left him wearing only his tight black singlet, which perfectly hugged his ma

    "Valeria..." Julian whispered, his voice cracking completely under the weight of the truth. He took a slow, heavy step toward her, his massive frame trembling as the reality of their stolen years fully settled into his bones. Valeria stayed perfectly still, her eyes wide, staring at the polished white marble floor. The cold expression he had worn in the locker room was entirely gone, replaced by a raw, agonizing vulnerability. She stayed quiet, her throat too tight to offer any words. "She told me you trashed my letters," Julian said, his voice dropping into a hollow, breathless register. He reached up, his large hand rubbing his face as if trying to wake up from a terrible nightmare. "The silver bracelet I bought with my very first training stipend in England, the letters I spent hours writing , I had sent them all to you through her. When I didn't hear back, I begged her to check on you. She then told me you tossed the bracelet and the papers right into a trash bin down the stre

  • MY HOCKEY HEARTHROB    CHAPTER 98: THE SOLE VILLAIN

    Valeria stared up at him, her chest heaving as the weight of five years of secrets pressed heavily against her throat. The silence inside the luxurious penthouse was thick, broken only by the sound of her shaky breathing. "When I went back to your house that last time," Valeria finally began, her voice dropping to a soft, trembling whisper as she finally spilled the tea on everything that had happened, "I just wanted to know if you were okay. But your mum… she sat me down in the living room. She looked at me with this stern expression, and that’s what made it hurt so much. She told me that you were completely done with our relationship. She said you had moved on to a completely different world in England, that the pressure of your new career was immense, and that you explicitly told her you didn't want anything to do with me anymore. She said you didn't know how to tell me yourself, so she was doing it herself." Valeria paused, wiping a fresh tear from her cheek, her tone remarkab

    The silence that followed inside the luxurious penthouse was so heavy it felt suffocating. Julian stood completely paralyzed, his heart hammering against his ribs as he stared down at the girl he had spent five years hating. The very next words that came out from Valeria's mouth made Julian's broad shoulders drop in absolute surprise and shock. "I never received anything, Julian," Valeria said, her voice shaking but full of a fierce, desperate certainty. She raised her hand to her chest, her fingers clutching the fabric of her hoodie. "I swear to you, on everything I hold holy, I never received a single letter from you, from your mother, or from any person. Not one." Julian felt the ground beneath his feet tilt. His mind was spinning, trying to process the sheer weight of what she was saying. "That can't be," he whispered, though his voice lacked conviction now. "She never gave them to me!" Valeria cried out, the dam finally breaking as tears began to stream down her pale cheeks.

  • MY HOCKEY HEARTHROB    CHAPTER 96: SNAP OUT OF IT

    Julian walked over to her, his footsteps echoing softly on the pristine marble floor. He stopped just a few inches away, his shadow completely enveloping her. The time for hiding was over. The penthouse was dead quiet, the world was locked outside, and the truth was finally ready to be told. He reached out, gently capturing her hands again. "Valeria," Julian urged, his voice heavy with a desperate need for answers. "Continue with what you were saying earlier on in the locker room. My mother... what did she do? What did she say to you?" Valeria looked up at him, her heart twisting painfully. After pondering for a while in silence, staring at his intense grey eyes, she slowly shook her head and disagreed. She pulled her hands back slightly. "No. You go first, Julian. Explain to me why you abandoned me in the first place. Tell me why you left without a word five years ago, before we talk about your mother." Julian was incredibly quick to cut her off, his jaw clenching as a wave of

    The hum of the engine was the only sound inside the luxurious sports car as it sliced through the city streets. The scene had shifted completely away from the chaotic stadium to Julian and Valeria. Outside, the night was alive with the roaring celebrations of fans honking their horns, but inside the vehicle, it felt like an entirely different world.Julian was driving with intense concentration, his sharp grey eyes focused on the road ahead. Yet, even with the high speed of the car, his right hand was completely occupied, he was holding on tightly to Valeria's hand with his free hand, his grip firm and possessive. Indeed, they had a whole lot to talk about, and he couldn't wait another second to get to the bottom of it. The truth about their five missing years was unraveling, and his hunger for answers was the exact reason why he had escaped the arena even before taking the grand prize, leaving his teammates and the trophyAs he drove through the bright streetlights, Julian slowly adj

    Julian folded his heavy arms across his broad chest, his grey eyes tracking the way Ariel had suddenly frozen into a statue. Seeing that she was saying absolutely nothing and just staring at his throat with wide, horrified eyes, he let out a long, bored sigh. He didn't have the time or the patience
