Betrayed and Gone My Hockey Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 

The ten bodyguards, and five assistants assigned to her security, failed to take care of her. 

Bloody Hell! 

Had I hired a bunch of idiots? 

I should have taken her with me on the flight, keeping her closer to me. However, it wasn’t my intention to leave her all alone. The media circus forced me to arrange a private jet for 

her safety. 

She was too young for all this drama. 

Blinking my eyes rapidly, I tried to push away the tears pooling in my eyes and call the private detectives. Widening the area of search ASAP was the need of the hour. 

I was dialing the number of my friend’s company when a caller ID flashed on the screen, clearing the haze of uncertainty in a split second. 

My heart flipped in my chest to see my Jane’s name displayed on the screen. I swiftly counted my entire wealth before clicking the green icon in case of ransom demand. 

“Hello, mommy!” 

Jane’s energetic voice sounded like a symphony as she greeted me happily. It was like the first rain after years of drought, which rejuvenated my soul as I heard her cute voice. 

“Mommy, please don’t be mad. I came to see my friend at his place.” 

The voice of a little boy in the background confirmed that my girl was at her friend’s house, reliving my panic. 

Taking a deep breath, I thanked God and comforted Jane, asking her about the address. 

“Mommy isn’t mad, Jane. Where are you now? I am coming to pick you up. 

Echo quickly became attentive to take notes, I repeated the address as Jane told me.

pit knotted my stomach as the location of this haunted building trembled my heart. 

My voice came out shakier than I intended it to be as I questioned Jane to confirm my deepest dreads, 

“Where are you right now, Jane? 

My little girl responded to a thrilled invitation to continue playing and spoke gleefully, 

“I am at Zoe’s house, mommy. Do you remember him? He always stands second in every competition.” 

Jane’s reply reminded me of a five–year–old cute boy who was her competitor in ice hockey. They both were participating in kids‘ level competitions, where my Jane was the best player every time due to her matchless talent. 

However, the connection of my daughter’s friend and that address from my dark past couldn’t make sense, I was pondering over this mystery when Jane’s excited voice 

resounded in my ears. 

“OMG, mommy. Zoe’s daddy has also joined us to play. You know, he is the famous ice hockey star, Uncle Leo. 

Mommy, please come and…” 

The cell phone slipped from my hand as I fell back, shaken by the force of an unexpected revelation. My brain was pushed to its full capacity to process the strange twist of fate, where my daughter was calling that trash her uncle. 

Holy cow! 

What had I done to see this day? 

“Mr. Leo, we are here on the behalf of Jane’s mother to take her home.” 

arcistant Echo announced the

The presence of armed guards, and countless servants didn’t intimidate her, she was performing her duty professionally.
