The Hockey Captain’s Unwanted Wife (Blair and Grayson) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151

-ROMAN-

They were waiting for me the second I got home.

Not a conversation. An ambush.

“You disappointed us,” my mother said.

“You did the opposite of what we asked,” my father added. “We sent Eden to the coast. You treated it like an inconvenience. You left early. You were seen looking unhappy. That is not the arrangement.”

I set my bag down harder than I needed to. Sand still in the seams. Olivia still in my head. The beach house still on my skin like I had not showered it off.

“I don’t want to continue the PR relationship. I want it finished. Immediately.”

My mother laughed once, short. “It is under contract. We are making money from it. You cannot get out of it just yet.”

Irritation flashed hot.

I did not want to keep hurting Olivia. Especially not after Eden had shown up at the beach house and ruined it. Walked into a weekend that already had Olivia in it. Put her hands on me in front of her. Smiled in that kitchen like she owned the place.

“I didn’t agree to a contract that includes ambushing a family trip.”

“You have a name. The name has terms. Eden Hart is one of them until the dates are fulfilled.” My father reminded me.

“Find someone else to stand next to her.”

“There is no one else with your face and your season,” my mother answered. “You will finish what was booked. Dinners. Appearances. The post we already approved. Then we talk. Not before.”

I dragged a hand through my hair. Olivia’s voice in my head. The text I had sent from the car once Eden was not forcing me to have a conversation with her. I had already told Olivia I wanted her tomorrow night. Before the game. For luck. I just wanted her in general. Now that I had a taste, I felt like an addict.

My parents wanted me focused on the same night like Olivia did not exist. Well, they didn’t know about her yet and I preferred to keep it that way. My parents ruined everything good in my life.

“You have an important game tomorrow,” father said. “Focus on that. Bets were placed. People who matter are watching the line. You need to win. No matter what.”

Bets.

Of course.

More ways for them to add to their bank accounts.

“I always try to win.”

y harder,” my mother said. “Do not get distracted.”

I wanted to laugh. They had no clue just how distracted I was recently.

I went upstairs before I said something I could not put back.

In my room I sat on the bed and stared at the message I had sent Olivia.

50 vouche

Then I stared at the calendar. Game. Parents. Contract. A woman I did not want and a woman I could not

stop wanting.

I could not get out of Eden yet. She would still be stuck to me even though I would hate every second of it.

I did not know what this thing with Olivia even was. I just knew I didn’t want it to end.

It was not dating. We hadn’t put a name on it and thankfully she didn’t ask me yet. Though, I had a feeling that the question was pending.
