The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 168
TIMOTHY POV
The next day, Timothy returned home after an invigorating hockey practice. The
icy chill of the rink had invigorated him, and he felt strangely elated as he entered
his cozy apartment. His cheeks were flushed from the cold, and his breath hung
in the air as he exhaled.
As he stripped off his sweat-soaked clothes and stepped into the warm embrace
of the shower, he couldn't help but replay the events of the previous night in his
mind. Seeing Evie at the holiday market had been unexpected, but it had left a
warm feeling in his chest, like the flicker of a long-extinguished flame.
Under the soothing spray of hot water, Timothy allowed himself to relax, his mind.
drifting back to the moments he had shared with Evie. The light show, the
laughter, and the camaraderie had all been a reminder of the friendship they had
once shared, a friendship that had been buried beneath the weight of unresolved
emotions.
As he dried his hair with a plush towel, Timothy couldn't help but smile at the
thought of Evie. For the first time in a long while, it seemed like things were
thawing between them. The awkwardness and tension that had once defined
their interactions were slowly dissipating, replaced by a sense of camaraderie
and understanding.
The idea of rekindling their friendship, of bridging the gap that had grown
between them, filled Timothy with a sense of hope. He knew that there were
unresolved issues and unspoken feelings that hung in the air like a storm cloud,
but he was willing to weather the storm if it meant reconnecting with Evie.

As he finished drying got dressed, Timothy couldn't shake the feeling that
something had shifted between them. Evie’s anger toward him had certainly
begun to thaw.
He knew that he needed to find the right moment to talk to her, to address the
issues that had driven a wedge between them. It wouldn't be easy, and there
were no guarantees of a happy ending, but Timothy was willing to take that
chance.
Pleased with that thought, he reheated leftovers from the previous night's meal —
and he savored each bite. He walked around his apartment, bored and anxious
all at the same time, and Duke was constantly at his heels, begging for a taste of
food.

After his meal, Timothy decided to tackle the backlog of emails that had piled up
during his busy week. His laptop sat on the coffee table before him, the home.
screen loading up.
His inbox was a mixed bag, filled with fan mail, sponsorship offers, and the
occasional piece of spam. Timothy had a habit of responding personally to as
many fan messages as he could, believing that his connection with his
supporters was vital.
He clicked through the messages, his fingers dancing over the keyboard as he
crafted heartfelt responses to the outpouring of support from his fans. Each
message he read brought a smile to his face and a sense of gratitude for the
journey he had embarked upon as a professional athlete.
But as he scrolled through the messages, one email caught his attention. It was
different from the rest — a stark subject line that read, “These may interest you,”
and it had no sender name. A digital enigma.
Intrigued, Timothy opened the email, and his eyes widened as he saw several
image attachments.
“What the hell?” Timothy muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing as he
opened them up and spread them across his screen. His breath caught in his
throat. as he stared at the images.
There, in the dimly lit photographs, were Stella and Andy, fondling each other
without care. The world seemed to blur around him as the implications of those
images sunk in.
Timothy's mind raced. Evie had hinted at something sneaky going on between
Stella and Andy. Now, the visual evidence lay before him, mocking his naiveté.
His fingers trembled as he reached for the glass of wine on the table. Taking a
sip, he tried to calm his racing thoughts. He needed to make sense of this, to
understand what was happening.
“Those assholes,” Timothy muttered to himself, anger seeping into his voice. “All
that talk about commitment...
He clicked on each image, scrutinizing them for any hidden context or clues. The
more he looked, the more obvious it became that there was something deeply
unsettling about this. Stella and Andy sneaking around like teenagers with a

forbidden romance. The sight filled him with a nauseating mix of fury and
possibly relief.
He wasn't the only one having his hand forced here. Stella had already given her
heart to someone else.
Timothy's eyes darted to the laptop screen, his mind racing with a torrent of
emotions. He pushed the laptop away from him, almost violently, causing it to
teeter dangerously on the edge of the coffee table. He rose from the couch,
pacing back and forth in the dimly lit living room.
He couldn't let this pass. He knew he had to confront Stella and Andy about what
he had just discovered. He was done being deceived.
As the minutes ticked by, Timothy debated how to approach the situation. He
knew both Stella and Andy well enough to anticipate their reactions. Andy would
likely try to deflect with his sharp wit, while Stella might become defensive and
evasive. But he couldn't let their tactics deter him; he needed answers.
The anger that had initially consumed him now ignited into a blazing fire. He had
to confront them, had to demand an explanation for their actions.
As he pondered his next move, the sound of paws padding across the hardwood
floor drew his attention. Duke approached him with a concerned look in his
expressive brown eyes. Timothy had always found solace in Duke's presence,
and tonight was no different.
