All Chapters of Heated Rivalry: Passion On Ice : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Adrian's POV.There was no time to spare. It was either I left or risk getting caught by coach Stanley.And it wouldn't look good for any of us.So, I let her slip from my hold. I could still feel the heat from her fingers on mine, but not her eyes.They suddenly lost interest in me. I knew I fucked up with my reaction to her question.It's just that, gosh, I am so confused.We agreed to take things slow and not rush it.So, when she asked about being my girlfriend, I was completely thrown off guard.I'll have to calm her to talk about it as soon as I get homeHopefully I can get home before dad does.I calculated the time mom would use to watch her new favourite series on TV, and the time dad would get off work.It gave me enough of a chance to sneak out of the house and watch the team play.I must admit it felt a little bit out of place not being with them on the ice.But Sammy did a great job. Dad knew what he said when he pointed out her potential.If we were on different teams, I

Samantha's POV.Zeke kept staring at my phone screen without saying a word.His silence made me more nervous, and I bit deeper into my nails.“Say something. Your silence is creeping me out.”He rubbed a hand over his face and sighed“Sammy, to be honest, I don't have a single idea who could have sent this. I know your secret.”Yeah, my heart went cold when I first read the message alone in my roomI had to run straight to Zeke's room to find him, but he wasn't there.So, as frightened as that made me.I had to chill till we were alone.“Who could have done this? Sharon.”He arched a brow“What reasons could Sharon possibly have to send this to you?”I swallowed hard. I still haven't told him what went down in my room with her.“Sammy, say something.”I shook my head.“Nothing, it probably wasn't her. I'm just thinking too far.”He took my hand and spoke in a low tone“We need to find out who sent this to you, and I need you to tell me why you suspect Sharon.”This was going to be a h

Samantha's POV.At the back of my mind, I knew that Sharon was still going to make an ugly move.I choose not to bother my pretty head with that. All I know is that.There was going to be retaliation if she spreads more of those crazy rumours about meNow, to face the remaining important things.Adrian, the rest of the games for the season and the most disturbing matter of all.Finding out who sent that bloody text.As much as I wanted to listen to Zeke and not tell Adrian about it.The hot-headed guy has not even paged me a single call.If I were so full of pride myself, I would have called to check if everything was alright.Maybe his dad caught him and sent him away to another country.No, no, I have got to stay focused for the upcoming games.Later that night, as I stepped out of the bathroom, after a cold shower, my phone rang.With my wet body, I lunged for the phone on the bed.My heart leapt when I saw that it was Adrian.Wait a minute, I can't let him see how excited I am, no

Adrian's POV Now that dad is out of the house, there's only one person I need to help make my plan a success. Since I've been home for nearly two weeks now, mom has been obsessed with her new television series. Of course, she showed her displeasure about me getting suspended from school and gave me a few straight faces. She even supported dad with grounding me, but that was it. I still got the usual love from her. She doesn't fail to scold me, though. As for dad, we haven't spoken to each other since he hit me. The house has been ominously quiet, as much as mom tried to get me to talk. Nothing was forthcoming, so I chose to remain in my room. Playing video games, reading a book and waiting for Sammy to call me by the end of the day. Her call was always the highlight of my day. I stood behind Mum as she carried a handful of popcorn, her shoulders tensed as she focused on the TV with all her attention. “Mom.” She jumped in fright, scattering all the pop corn on her head. An

Samantha's POVMy throat felt dry.I needed water and I told Adrian so.He looked around the room, then scratched his head.“I'm sorry, there's no water here. And I don't want to go out. I might accost my dad. Which would probably not be a good thing.”I, on the other hand, was too scared to even breathe.Alex Volkov saw me hours before at the show. If he sees me in Adrian's room.He's going to lose his shit.And his mom, the way her eyes turned to a horrific blue when she walked in.I simply cannot get the image out of my head.My chest was beginning to tighten, and it caused some kind of blockage in my lungs.“Adrian.” I managed to gasp.He rubbed a gentle hand over my head“Relax. I'd soon go out for water.”I tried to speak, but the words were lodged in my throat. It wasn't the water anymore. I couldn't breathe.Everything was beginning to spin around me. I just can't breathe.My legs gave way, and I began to sink to the floor.The only thing I felt was Adrian's hand holding me fr
