《Ex-Hockey Star Regret》全部章節：第 151 章 - 第 160 章

Nicole's POV Brad pulled me up from the couch, as that was where I decided to sit for a while. His hands were firm and possessive on my waist like he couldn't get enough of touching me. Like he was afraid if he stopped, I might disappear. "Where are we going?" I asked breathlessly. My voice came out shaky. My legs felt weak but I followed him anyway. Trusted him completely. He didn't answer, he just led me down the hallway. Past the bedroom and the bathroom, until we were standing in his study. "Here?" I looked around at the desk, the bookshelf and at the large window overlooking the space. "Here." He confirmed. And then his lips were on mine again. The kiss was hungrier this time, although less gentle and more demanding. Like he was claiming me all over again. He lifted me onto the desk and papers slightly scattered.

Brad's POVThe moment Nicole's phone rang and she let me know that it was Detective Joe that was calling, I knew something was coming but I couldn't wrap my head around it yet .I watched her face as she answered and the way her expression shifted from calm to tense in the space of a single breath.She placed the phone to her ear. "Hello. Detective Joe."I sat up straighter, trying to read her face. Trying to figure out from her reactions what he was telling her.Her shoulders went stiff. Her free hand curled into a fist against her lap."Any latest update?" She asked.I could hear the slight tremor in her voice even though she was trying to hide it and to sound casual.I leaned closer, watching her carefully.Detective Joe's voice came through faintly from the other end but I couldn't make out the words. Just the low rumble of his tone.Nicole's eyes shifted to mine and there was something in them. Worry or maybe frustration."What happened?" She asked suddenly.The shift in her voic

Nicole's POV"Brad, you know that I need to go pick some of my things while we wait for next week when your mum said that her driver would be free."I said to him as we were at home and that was the 5th day after we got back from the hospital.Five days of being here and wearing the same rotation of clothes. Five days of borrowing Brad's shirts because I'd run out of my own.Not that I minded wearing his clothes. They smelled like him and they were comfortable. But I needed my own stuff. My skincare, favorite jeans and the little things that made me feel like myself."Yeah, that reminds me. I fully understand that you already explained that you actually need some of the things you use on a daily basis, like your toiletries and the likes. You know, my mum said that her driver is busy tidying some things for her and he would be free by next week instead when it was earlier agreed." Brad tried to explain.He was sitting on the couch with his legs stretched out. Looking relaxed and comfor

Nicole's POV"Put the phone down, Nicole."My blood went cold from recognition of that voice. I know that voice just at a go."Sophia?" I whispered.The driver's hand came up and pulled down the hoodie slightly. Just enough for me to see her face in the rearview mirror.It was her. Sophia Anders.The same Sophia who was supposed to be in rehab. The same Sophia who'd helped drug Brad. The same Sophia who should have been locked away somewhere getting help.My grip tightened on my phone. Every instinct in me was screaming to hit the call. To get help and maybe to do something.But her eyes in that mirror stopped me. There was something wild in them. More like, something unhinged."What are you doing?" I asked. My voice was shaking now. "Where are you taking me?"I questioned instantly, with my heart beating heavily in a split of a second.The silence that followed was worse than any answer she could have given.My mind was racing. Trying to figure out how this happened. How she was even

Author's POVThe ambulance sirens came through the afternoon air as two vehicles raced toward St. Mary's Medical Center.Inside the first ambulance, Nicole lay strapped to a gurney. Her face was covered in blood and her clothes soaked through with it.A paramedic worked frantically beside her, pressing gauze against a gash on her forehead."BP is dropping. 90 over 60." Another paramedic called out."Stay with me, please." The first one said, even though her eyes were closed. "Just stay with me."In the second ambulance, Sophia was in similar condition or let's say, kinda worse than that of Nicole.Her head had taken the brunt of the impact against the steering wheel. Blood matted her hair, then her breathing was shallow and labored."We're losing her pulse!" A paramedic shouted."No, we're not. Not on my watch." His partner snapped back, adjusting the oxygen mask over Sophia's face.Both ambulances pulled up to the emergency entrance at the same time.The doors flew open and nurses ru
