Chapter 30 (Nathaniel's POV)Andrew and I managed to pack in record time I would say.We were even a bit too soon at the airport but it was better than being too late I would say.So as we waited for our flight we just went through all the information when I suddenly received a call from my coach. He knew I was still in Canada and am returning in the evening so if he was calling me right now it meant something huge happened and he had some important news.My phone was shaking in my hands and I knew if I didn't hold on to it right it might just slip out of my hand. You probably wonder what I was so afraid of. As I said. If the coach was calling me right now something bad had to happen and the first thing that came to mind was that Valentina was hurt or one of my friends. And that was not a scenario I was willing to deal with right now, but still, I answered the phone with shaking hands."Yeah, coach? What is going on?"At first, I was only met with silence but then I could hear a loud

Chapter 31 (Valentina's POV)I reread the article at least a thousand times in the past few days, but still nothing made sense to me.Well, one thing did make a lot of sense. I did not write this article! But who else could have done it? That is the question that kept bugging me since the evening when Nathaniel stopped by to throw the newspaper at my door.What I can not understand though at the moment is my own stupidity.You remember I said I was a pretty smart person and I refused to hide my smartest?Well, this time my heartbreak obviously beat my smartness. Because I did not realize all it took to find the culprit was to look at the newspaper. The name of the newspaper.And there it was. The information I was looking for.And suddenly it all started making sense to me.The day I left my work office I left everything on the desk. All my notes, articles, together with all the notes I had on Nathaniel and his story that I was still writing. The story that I used for my job applicati

Chapter 32 (Nathaniel's POV)"Madox! Get your head in the game or you will end up on the bench!"Do I even need to say that my game was awful?Ever since I confronted Valentina I could not concentrate on anything, especially hockey. The fact that reporters and photographers were following me and my every move did not help one bit.Now do not get me wrong. I scored points for our team, I did no harm to my teammates, the problem was that all the harm was served to the opponents. And I do not mean small harm either. I pushed them every chance I got, tried them, and fought with them, one even ended up in the ER because his helmet flew off his head somewhere in the middle of the fight.So basically what I wanted to say was that I was back to my assholish behavior or judging by the time I spent on the bench in the past few games I would have to say I was even worse.Benjamin and Seth were getting worried more and more with each passing day, but honestly, I was not really in the right state

Chapter 33 (Valentina's POV)A few days ago I received an answer from national television. Or technically from their newspaper publishing team and editors. And you would not believe it but they actually were interested and willing to give me a chance. At the job and at my attempt to apologize to Nathaniel.So now I was sitting in my living room going through the added article for a millionth time.Dear readers.As awful as it might sound, I was actually framed with the last article that was supposed to be written under my name. Those who follow me and my work know that I never write any article based on rumors and without strong facts that can support my words. So the article that was published under my name was obviously not my work at the end of the day. Now that we made this part clear I can explain everything to you.The meaning of this article is to apologize to the man that stole my heart and once you get through this first soap opera part you can also read the real article that

Chapter 34 (Nathaniel's POV)Boys forced me to read the article and at the end of it I would not tell them that but I was grateful that they made me read it.All the way to Valentina's house I kept repeating it in my head.Now all things made so much more sense in my head. Somewhere deep in my head, I think I knew all this time it was not really her behind the article, but I needed someone to blame on. And all the mistakes I made in my past somehow made me feel like I needed to pay for everything. And what better way to pay than being heartbroken? All I wanted was to be at her place already and pull her in my arms and kiss the ever-loving hell out of her. But I needed to hear what was written in the article directly from her. I needed that closure. She could never lie to me since we met. So I knew she would be telling me the truth. But I needed to look her in the eyes.As I arrived her car was parked in her usual spot in front of the house and Anabelle's car was nowhere to be seen, m

Chapter 35 (epilogue- Valentina's POV)A few months later "Anabelle, are you home?"It was late evening already and Anabelle, as it looks like, was once again not home, which was perfect for my evening with Nathaniel but still I was getting worried about my best friend. She was gone almost every night and came home in the early morning hours. So something was clearly not right but Nathaniel convinced me to give her time. She would come around and tell me what is going on. Or that is what I hoped would happen.But that is a story for another time. Right now I had to get things ready before Nathaniel came. It was after all our third month's anniversary and I know many people do not see month anniversaries as something big, but to two people that were commitment-phobes before they met each other, it was a huge thing.I gathered candles and lit them in the living room, I grabbed chocolate and strawberries out of the fridge and some whipped cream. Cliche right? But I do not care. I just wa

The queen of forced decisions Chapter 1 (Seth's POV) 9 years oldIt was another boring day in my home.It was just me and Sophie. She already made us dinner, we cleaned everything and now we were in our room doing our homework and dreading the moment when father came home.You see, our father is not the loving type. He was, once upon a time, but then his brother died in a car accident and he became this manipulative aggressive abusive asshole I knew. Everything good I knew about my father I learned from my sister because I was too little to remember it. Judging by my sister's stories I was only around one year old when this kind of behavior started. And when I was two years old our mother died in weird circumstances.But everything I can remember about my father was not good. Not at all. But I guess I was lucky, either because I was a boy or because I was younger, but he barely ever hit me. My sister thought was a different story. Even now as she was sitting across from me I could s

Chapter 2 (Anabelle's POV)18 years old Being a foster child was not easy, and up until this day I moved from house to house, I changed at least 20 homes and none of them were obviously meant to be my forever homes. But in this last one, I met Valentina. She was like a sister to me and we clicked from the start. With her by my side, everything was more bearable. Even the fact that our foster parents were total drunks did not affect me as it should anymore. Mostly we just stayed out of their way. But there was another problem. The problem's name was Devin. Yes like the devil but with an n at the end. He was the real problem in this house because he was kind of obsessed with me and Valentina and as much as we tried to avoid him, he just would not let us alone.But today was my eighteenth birthday and then just a year longer so Valentina turns eighteen as well and we are out of here.She made me a cake and I was the happiest person on the planet at that moment because no one in my eight

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
