The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 186
The anger had been simmering within me for hours, a seething pot of emotions
that refused to be contained any longer. I knew I had to confront Andy and put an
end to Timothy's torment.
As I stepped into the office building where 7.
brother, Andy, worked, I could feel the weight of the conversation that lay ahead.
The anger and betrayal that had marked the last few days had brought me to this
moment. It was time to confront Andy about the secrets that had been buried for
far too long.
Andy's office was on the tenth floor, and as I entered the elevator, my heart raced
with a mixture of determination and trepidation. The elevator ride felt endless,
and when the doors finally opened, I stepped out into the corridor, searching for
Andy's office.
I found the door with his nameplate and hesitated for a moment, I took a deep
breath, gathering my courage, before knocking firmly. “Come in,” Andy’s voice
called from inside.
His office was dimly lit when I walked in, the heavy mahogany door clicking shut
behind me. Andy sat at his desk, engrossed in his work, or at least pretending to
be, I could see the tension in his shoulders as they stiffened upon my entrance.
He looked up, his icy blue eyes meeting mine. “Evie,” he said, his tone slightly
surprised. “What brings you here?”
I closed the door behind me, my expression resolute. “We need to talk, Andy.”

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing as he studied me. “Alright, what's
this about?”

I took a deep breath, knowing that the conversation would be far from easy. “I
know about your affair with Stella,” I began, my voice steady.
Andy's face paled, and he seemed taken aback by my words. “What are you
talking about?” he stammered..
I took a step closer, my fingers trembling as I gripped the edge of his desk. “You
know damn well what I'm talking about, Andy. I know about you and Stella.”
He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing in his throat. “You're going to have
to be more specific.”
I met his gaze, my eyes unwavering. “Don't pretend, Andy. I know about the
affair, and I know that Stella’s baby may not be Timothy's.”
The silence in the room was heavy, as Andy seemed to process the gravity of my
revelation. His face contorted with a mixture of emotions, including anger and
fear. “How did you find out?” he finally asked, his voice filled with a hint of
desperation.
I had no intention of revealing my sources. “That's not important right now, Andy.
What is important is that you and Stella need to take a paternity test for Scarlett.
Andy's eyes widened, his surprise giving way to a flash of anger. “And why
should I do that?”
I didn’t waver, my voice firm. “Because Timothy deserves to know the truth, and
he deserves to know if Scarlett is his daughter or not. You've been living with this
secret for far too long, and it's time to come clean.”

Andy leaned forward, his anger intensifying. “Stella isn’t concerned about this, so
why should I be?”

My own anger flared as I spoke. “Because I've already exposed your secret to
Timothy. He deserves to know the truth about Scarlett's paternity. It's
time to do the right thing. Andy.”
The tension in the room was palpable, as Andy seemed to grapple with the
weight of my words. I could see the internal struggle within him, the fear of the
consequences of his actions and the desire to protect his own interests.
As I stood my ground, Andy's anger was palpable. He leaned forward, his eyes
flashing with a dangerous intensity. “You don't have the proof or the power to
make me do anything, Evie,” he sneered. “Timothy may trust what you say, but
what about the public? What do you have to actually show for these baseless
accusations?”
I took a deep breath, my fingers trembling as I reached into my bag and
produced a small thumb drive. The evidence was right there, in the form of digital
photos that could expose the truth. “All it would take is a click of a button, Andy,” I
stated, my voice resolute.
Andy's face contorted with rage as he looked at the thumb drive, his anger
boiling over. “You should watch it with the threats, Evie, he warned, his tone
menacing. “You're already on thin ice with my family, and I can make sure your
name is permanently smeared.”
I held his gaze, unflinching in the face of his threats. “I'll be willing to risk it, Andy,”
I declared, my voice steady. “Because things couldn't get any worse than they
already are.”
Andy's eyes narrowed, but he didn’t reach out for the thumb drive. “Let me see
it,” he demanded.
I took a step closer to his desk but kept the thumb drive just out of his reach. “Not
so fast, Andy. I'm not stupid. If you don't agree, I'll expose

everything.”

Andy's fingers drummed on his desk, and for a moment, I could see the turmoil in
his eyes. He didn’t know if I was bluffing, and he couldn't afford to
take that risk.
“What do you want, Evie?” Andy finally asked, his tone less aggressive.
“I want you to take the paternity test, I repeated, slightly more impatient now.
Andy scoffed. “No. What do YOU want,” he emphasized, a sly smile tugging at
his lips. “You don't think I know what you're trying to get out of this?”
I didn't flinch. “This is for Timothy's sake. I have nothing to gain outside of
humbling you.”
“Oh?” He leaned back in his seat, looking more sure of himself now. “Fine, let's
say I took the paternity test. What makes you think your precious Timothy will
come running to you when it's all over? He's out of your league, Evie.”

You can't win against someone like me.”
I took a step closer to his desk, my resolve unwavering. “Watch me, Andy. I'll do

I looked over my shoulder and caught him still watching me, eyes narrowed in
suspicion. I sighed and shook my head.
“You should take your own advice, Andy, because Stella would never leave
Timothy for you, I stated, my voice unwavering.
My words must have cut him deeply, because he seemed to struggle to find a
response.
“Don't delude yourself, Andy,” I continued, my tone sharp. “You were a part of a
twisted chapter in her life, but you're not the man she chose to be with. She's
moved on, and you should too.
