The queen of icy heart Time for truth
Chapter 18 (Anabelle's POV)That kiss. Oh my God, that kiss. It was the kind of kiss every girl dreams of and not surprisingly I wanted more. A lot more.But first, we had to give a statement and get Seth into the hospital so they could look at his wound. As it turns out they had to do surgery to get the bullet out of his knee and honestly I was scared. I know it is just a routine surgery but still, even those go wrong sometimes.And I did the only thing a girl waiting for a guy to get out of surgery would do. I called my best friend. And of course, her boyfriend came with her so I guess it was a one-plus-one support evening."Anabelle! Damn it girl! Are you ok?" Valentina shouted through the whole hospital the moment she saw me standing in the hallway. And I could not help but smile at my best friend that was unnecessarily worried about me, but that is the way life teaches you to act if you grow up in foster care. You care for those close to you and your brain operates on worst-case

Chapter 19 (Seth's POV)Being in a hospital was actually not as bad as someone would think. The doctors and needles were definitely a downside but at least I had the painkillers that my knee did not hurt and I had my girl watching over me. So I was not going to complain.And yes, she was my girl. That was not negotiable. Whether she liked it or not things were as they were. It looked like she did not mind it though and I was glad for that because it meant I would not have to explain everything to her. In the morning I was finally discharged from the hospital and Anabelle made sure to tell everyone she would be taking care of me and that I was in good hands. That I did not doubt. I was in the best hands.On the way home we kept quiet, I mostly did not speak because my knee was starting to hurt badly especially if we hit a bump on the road. And if I was speaking she would notice I was in pain and I did not want her to know how badly my knee hurt.But once we reached home and I managed

Chapter 20 (Anabelle's POV)A whole week has passed since the accident at the club and after I have told everything to Valentina I felt relieved. Especially since she accepted my apology and did not judge me.She really was the best friend I could ask for.And me and Seth? As strong as a stone. But damn the man was a tease. He was getting his stitches removed today and if all went well he would be back to normal in no time. And I really hoped it would all go as planned. I know he did not blame me for what happened but I still blamed myself since if Devin was not as obsessed with me as he was he would not go after me in the first place and Seth would not get shot. But my darling kept joking it was his scar that proved he fought for his princess or pumpkin as he called me.And I know it might sound stupid but I never had a nickname. Sure people shortened my name but that is not the same as someone calling me by a nickname. And I really liked my nickname. Even though I was not orange and

Chapter 21 (Seth's POV)My visit to the doctor went amazingly well. Everything was perfect and since I was not a lazy ass since my surgery I was close to being back to old me. The only difference was that now I could not stand on my legs for a long period of time because my knee started hurting but the doctor said it would get better with time. Hopefully before our season starts. I only had a few more weeks before our first practices started and I needed to be in perfect shape before that.To say I was in a good mood would be an understatement. I thought the whole thing with healing after being shot and then a surger, would take longer but as I said all was going great.That is until I arrived home and found Anabelle locked in her room. As soon as she told me what happened I knew what had to be done. So while Anabelle was giving her statement to the police I packed the essential stuff as our underwear, toiletries and some warmer stuff. We were going on a vacation you could say. The cl
Last Updated : 2023-03-19The queen of icy heart Passion
Chapter 22 (Anabelle's POV)Honestly, I had no idea what got into me. Maybe it was the scenery, maybe some feelings I was not yet ready to admit, or maybe it was just Seth, but right now I did not care. All I knew is that I wanted him to touch me, to taste me, and to have me. To make me his. I wanted something to replace the memory from years ago, something sweeter.And when I attacked him with passionate kisses and my hunger for him only grew bigger and stronger I knew I made the right decision. But I was still nervous. Sure I was not a virgin anymore, but to me, it was like the first time because I never had this experience. Not with a man that cared about you and showered you with love. So all this was new to me. New but felt amazing and I wanted more and more with every passing second. Seth moved away from my lips and I missed his touch right away. He went from my lips to my cheek, down to my neck, and up to my earlobe where he bit lightly, making me moan in the process."We are n

Chapter 23 (Seth's POV)Food. We need food. Now, what can be made fast and can still be delicious and satisfying for a whole night of activities? I know I am an athlete and I should know these things but right now my brain is working on horny content only and that could not be helpful in the food department.Got it! Spaghetti! I took out a pot and boiled water fast, threw the pasta in it, and went looking for a sauce. Thank God I found a premade pasta sauce in the cupboard. So I heated the sauce while my spaghetti was cooking and I must say my timing was perfect because both things were finished at almost the same time. Now, I had no time or patience for delicacy and fancy stuff so I just threw it all in one pot and mixed it, served it on two plates and voila dinner was ready.I took both our plates to the living room where Anabelle was sitting in one of my T-shirts that reached almost down to her knees, meaning it covered everything but still I never saw anything sexier than the woma

Chapter 24 (Anabelle's POV)If I said the night was the best of my life I would be unfair. Because the previous night was much more than that. It was perfect and everything a girl could ask for. Seth was a perfect lover, attentive and focused on my pleasure. He woke me up at least five more times after our first lovemaking. And today I could feel all the effects of the previous night. All my muscles were sore and even walking was a bit painful but it was a nice reminder of a beautiful night that I experienced with the man I love. Yes. I love him. Probably I would not be ready to tell him those words anytime soon but for now, it was enough for me to know that in my head and heart even though it was also scary as fuck.Today I decided to be lazy and instead of looking for any clothes I just found a clean pair of panties and took one of Seth's T-shirts. As I walked into the kitchen I realized the whole cottage was a bit too quiet, but as I approached the counter I saw a note written wit

Chapter 25 (Seth's POV)You know that feeling in your gut that something is just not right? Yes, the one that is just nagging you and you and not letting you alone, and no matter what you do it does not want to go away. Do not ever ignore it! I learned young to always follow my instincts and what my gut tells me, and this time was no different. I knew something was wrong.The cart I had half full in front of me was forgotten. What I bought would go with me but other things would have to wait. I rushed out of the store and straight to the car. If my gut was alarming me it could mean only one thing, Anabelle was in danger. And since that was the most possible option you can believe me I did not care for any speed limits or anything else. All I cared about was getting to Anabelle as fast as possible but still, it took me more than thirty minutes before I arrived in front of the cottage. The first thing that told me my gut was right once again was when I saw the front door was opened, but

The queen of icy heart EPILOGUE
Chapter 27 (Loraine’s POV) epilogue Some years later… “Andrew! The girls will be here any minute, could you get Samuel ready for me please?” Before you make any assumptions let us make something clear. Samuel is our son, and he is three years old. As weird and unthinkable as it might sound, all girls gave birth to a child in the same year. Sure, there were differences, Valentina and Nathaniel had three kids. The first one was a little girl named Daisy, who was not so little anymore since she was nine years old already. Second was a boy named Gareth, he was six years old and the last was Penelope who was three years old as well as our Samuel. Then there was Anabelle and Seth. They had two kids, twins to be exact. A boy and a girl, Samantha, and Sam, they were three years old as well. If we move forward, we have Anastasia and Benjamin, they had just one kid the same as me and Andrew, and the little three years old princesses’ name was Lory. The next in line would be Malcolm and Mandy
The queen of icy heart it is all settled
Chapter 26 (Andrew’s POV)We were on our way to the airport and of course, with Malcolm in the car we were driving over the speed limit and if a police officer pulled us over there would be hell to pay once he realized who the driver was, but mostly no one dared stop Malcolm, even the new guys knew his car and just waved when he passed. But in my opinion, we were still not driving fast enough. I wanted to be at the airport already, deal with the bastard and wrap my Loraine in my arms where I knew I could keep her safe.But as much as I wanted to yell and rant and be a smart ass, I knew I was thinking irrationally so I rather just sat back and kept my mouth shut. That and the fact that Malcolm threatened to throw me out of the car if I dared be loud.Thankfully we arrived at the airport just when my patience was running low. But as we stopped the car, I could not believe my eyes. There was a plane, ready to take off at any moment, but the stairs were still pulled out and firmly on the
The queen of icy heart finally free
Chapter 25 (Loraine’s POV)Either these people were stupid, or they just assumed I knew London so well that I did not need to have my eyes covered while we were driving to the airport. Or maybe it was just the fact that they were so sure I would not be going anywhere except board the plane to Washington.Too bad for them because I had every intention to run away as fast as my legs could carry me, especially now that I knew two of six guys were on my side. Two of those guys that were not on my side are going into the plane’s cabin to make sure everything is set up and two will be completely oblivious to my attempt thanks to my accomplices. I still had no idea what their moto was, but I was not about to ask them since I was just happy to have someone willing to help me get away without a need to kill someone.You see all my self defense classes and so on that I was taking while on the run were in case, I found some place I want to stay and not run anymore, but before London there was no
The queen of icy heart who took Loraine?
Chapter 24 (Andrew’s POV)“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE IS FUCKING GONE?! YOU STUPID BUNCH OF IMBECILS! HOW COULD YOU LET HER SLIP OUT OF THE CLUB WITHOUT ANY OF YOU NOTICING!?” As you can see, saying I was pissed would be a huge understatement, because I was livid! Somehow, while we were celebrating our win in the office with Malcolm and the girls, and a few minutes later with their boyfriends as well, Loraine managed to slip out of the club and disappeared into thin air.If you would tell me a week ago, she disappeared I would probably believe she ran away like she did every time in the past eight years when something or someone got too close to her and her heart, but today I was sure she did not run away. She promised me that she would not run away, and she would stay with me for as long as I wanted her and on the other hand, the fact that Rodriguez was just leaving my club when Loraine mysteriously disappeared just did not stop nagging me. So, I had my suspicion that he had something to d
The queen of icy heart not alone
Chapter 23 (Loraine’s POV)Today was the first time in my whole life that I remember standing up to myself for as long as I can remember. Not once when I was married was, I willing to do so. I just swallowed everything that was thrown my way. I never yelled at the man or talked back, I never told him my opinion, never objected to his decisions about my life, nothing.And the feeling was kind of refreshing and new. It felt amazing.Now, you see I stopped smoking years ago, it was bad for my health and all that and honestly it was just an expensive habit. But at this moment I felt like I was on top of the world and decided to treat myself to one cigarette you could say for old times’ sake, so I can finally close the door on every bad decision I made in the past.I was at the back entrance when I heard steps approaching but I thought it was sure one of the girls or maybe Andrew, so I stayed put and did not even turn around to see who it was, a big mistake.Next thing I know someone was h
The queen of icy heart take the money and get lost
Chapter 22 (Andrew’s POV)The thought of pinching myself and seeing if I was even awake crossed my mind, but nothing felt as good even in dreams as Loraine felt in my arms. She said it. Those fears I had for the past few weeks since I realized I fell for this woman melted away like ice cream on a hot sunny day.Now the only thing left was for us to deal with Rodriguez once and for all. But that was not mine decision, I stopped kissing her and moved a bit away but still kept our foreheads pressed close together, “Are you ready to deal with the demons of the past?”She gave me a nod which was a bit hesitant, but honestly if I was in her shoes and had to deal with someone like Rodriguez, I would be hesitant as well. I took one of her hands in mine and gave her a squeeze to show her that she was not alone.As we rounded the corner, I could not help it but look around and once again it surprised me how self-assured the man really was. He took only five men with him and all of them were in
The queen of icy heart explanation
Chapter 21 (Loraine’s POV)How could he do that? If I had to guess, from what I saw in the office I would say Andrew knew about my past and he knew it well. So first of all, he was hiding the fact that he knows about everything from me, or maybe I can find an excuse for him and say he just found out, but I doubt that since he has been a bit weird for the past few weeks and especially today. But I am willing to tell myself anything to feel a bit better, and right now I needed to believe Andrew did not betray me like everyone else in my life did.At the moment I was sitting by the river that was right next to the club, and yes, I know I did not go far from everything, but it was far enough that Rodriguez would not think I came here, he probably thought that I ran away already like I always do when he finds me, but this time was different. I had friends, I had a job that I liked, and I hope they cared for me as well. I had a good life, and I was actually looking forward to the future. I
The queen of icy heart I will not lose her
Chapter 20 (Andrew’s POV)The moment Loraine barged into my office I knew something was going to go awfully wrong and as usual I was proven right when the asshole opened his mouth.Thankfully me and Malcolm seem to be on the same page because when Loraine ran out of my office as if she was on fire, we both jumped to our feet, but since I was in my usual seat and Malcolm was right next to Rodriguez, he was the one that landed a solid punch to his face and probably broke his nose in the process judging by the crunching sound that could be heard, “You idiot! You just broke my nose! What in the ever-loving hell is wrong with you? Do you have any idea who you are dealing with? I can have you erased from the surface of the earth in a moment!” technically, if we were not who we are, he would be right, but since we were one of the strongest mafia organizations in the world, well, sadly for him, he was wrong. Sure, we were operating on legal grounds, but that was actually a plus on our side, b
The queen of icy heart when the past catches up with you
Chapter 19 (Loraine’s POV) Something did not feel right. I could not put my finger on it, but my gut was telling me to go back to the club. Why? I had no idea but the opportunity to do so presented itself when Mandy asked me to put the car keys into my purse, because I was the only one that remembered to take a big enough purse to put in my wallet, phone and all the girly necessities but still had some space to put in the keys as well. Now I just had to come up with a plan to get away from them with a believable excuse, ran to the parking lot and drive back to the club so this awful feeling would go away. Even if I drove for nothing, I would still feel better if I followed my instincts and honestly, I doubted my gut was warning me for nothing. I know to some people it might sound stupid to follow your gut or your instincts, but those two things saved me more than once in the past years while I was being on the run. So, there was no way I would ignore it. As we walked around the sho
