The Hockey Captain’s Unwanted Wife (Blair and Grayson) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

BTHAN-

I watched them on the ground together and hated that it made sense.

Olivia in his arms. Roman bleeding and still holding her like she was the only thing that mattered.

I was pissed he had lied. Pissed he had gotten my sister pregnant. Pissed I had thanked him for bringing her home while he already knew what his hands had been doing.

I also wanted to be happy for them. Despite what he’d done. Despite the lies.

That was the part that made me angry with myself. Roman would always be my best friend. Nothing would change that. But it still hurt.

The truth was I trusted Roman more than any other man to take care of my baby sister.

Roman looked at her like the rest of the world was a problem he would solve later, and I hated how much that looked like love when I had spent the last fifteen minutes trying to beat it out of him.

I got up. Not bothering to say another word. I would talk to them another time.

I walked into the house and straight to my father’s office because if I stayed on the driveway I would either hit him again or hug him, and neither one was useful yet.

My father looked up from the desk expecting to hear about my sister’s condition. I didn’t come to report on that. I came to tell him the truth, hoping it would be enough to get him to stop the wedding.

“You have to stop the wedding between Olivia and Nico.”

He stared at me as though I had lost my mind. “What are you talking about. The photographs are already being processed. The invitations are out.”

“Olivia is in love with someone else.”

His mouth flattened. “Who. If it is Luca Vescari, I will not allow it. That boy is not good enough for my daughter.”

“It is not Luca.” I stood in front of the desk and did not sit. “It is someone I love. Someone I trust.”

“I want a name.”

“Roman.”

The office went quiet.

Dad looked extremely shocked. He did not hide it well.

The close friend. The basketball player who ate at our table. The boy who had been in this house so long he almost counted as family.

I did not mention she was pregnant.

I knew it was better to wait until after a marriage to inform him of that.

Thought for a long time. Fingers on the pen.
