The queen of icy heart It all falls back into place
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

Chapter 3 (Seth's POV)Present day"What do you mean you are moving out Benjamin?"You read that correctly. One of my best friends was just announcing he was moving out and was leaving me alone, without a roommate to cover for expenses of the apartment we were renting. His face told me he was really sorry and that it was not an easy decision for him to make, but guess what? I did not care! How am I supposed to cover the rent and everything on my own? Sure we were hockey players but that did not mean I was a millionaire. Far from it honestly. And I was at the Hawks just a little more than a year so my fortune was not huge in any way."I really am sorry man, but my mother was diagnosed with cancer, so I am moving back home to help my father with taking care of her while we are off-season."Ok. Now I felt like a real asshole. He was making adjustments and necessary sacrifices so he could take care of his sick mother and I was yelling at him."I am sorry. I had no idea it was such an impo
Last Updated : 2023-03-13The queen of icy heart New roommate
Chapter 4 (Anabelle's POV)Today was the day my new roommate would arrive. It kind of felt weird now that Valentina was not with me for the first time since we were both teenagers. But I knew this day was coming and I was happy for her. I was just wondering if my day would ever come to share a house with someone that would love me with my whole baggage. Since that awful night on my eighteenth birthday, I had no partner. No relationship and definitely no one in my bed. Kind of hypocritical of me I know since I was teasing Valentina about her sex life but I had none on the other side. My first and last time was a painful experience and I had no other to erase or replace it.Even though I would miss Valentina I was glad she was moving in with a man as amazing as Nathaniel was. And living with Seth would not be bad. We got along well and I considered him to be one of my best friends.But he was much more than that in my fantasies. Where I was this fearless woman without an ugly past and w

Chapter 5 (Seth's POV)In my life and my line of work, I had to learn how to read people the moment I saw them. Learning to read people was actually an easy task to master when you grew up in a home where everyone was walking on tiptoes and no one dared speak. That is the reason why I noticed Anabelle's nervousness the moment she opened the door.She was pulling down her sleeves and her smile did not reach her eyes. Well, that is until I made a joke about us having a welcome party in the evening, and I received the most beautiful sound in the world as a reward. She laughed. And it was like music to my ears.One thing about Anabelle though that never made sense to me. She always wore long-sleeved shirts no matter how hot it was outside. But she was still the most beautiful woman I have met in my life. I mean what was there not to like? She was a bit on the shorter side, reaching only to my shoulders, but it was as if two-thirds of her body were just legs. She was on the healthy slim si

Chapter 6 (Anabelle's POV)What is wrong with me? If I continue to act like this someone will eventually find out my secret and how am I supposed to explain everything to Valentina then? There is no way she would forgive me for lying to her for so long and in the end not even telling her myself.Somehow this whole living with Sean thing was getting out of hand on our first day.And it was time for me to get ready so I did not even have time to find a believable excuse for my reactions.Even though the reaction from when he yelled at me would be easier to explain than all the reactions before. After all, he knew what my childhood looked like and I guess any sane person would understand why I reacted the way I did to yelling. Unfortunately yelling at me still meant someone was about to hit me because that is what life taught me to expect in foster care.If someone yelled at you, it meant you did something wrong and you did not get a chance to defend yourself before a slap or punch lande

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
