The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 112

The headline hit me like a tidal wave. An image of Timothy and Stella emerged just beneath those bold words.

It looked like someone had taken an old image of Timothy and the old club leader at one of the past games. Timothy had a trophy tucked just under his arm with Stella clinging to the opposite side of his body. They’d gone as far as to crop out. part of the club leader’s face in order to zoom in on Timothy and Stella’s smiling faces.

So Timothy and Stella were together? After all that, he just goes running to the women who prides herself on making people miserable.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared at my phone, feeling more broken than I’d ever felt. He had moved on after all.

With a heavy heart and a sour mood lingering in the air, I trudged back home from the law firm, my footsteps echoing down the street.

As I entered my small apartment, I tossed my coat onto a nearby chair and made my way to the kitchen. The warm glow of the overhead lights did little to thaw my clenching heart. I pulled some leftovers from the refrigerator and mechanically preheated the oven.

It was all slipping away, leaving me adrift in a sea of heartache.

Just as I was about to take a bite of my meal, the front door burst open, and Aria rushed in, her expression a mixture of disbelief and shock. She clutched her phone in her hand, and I could tell that she had just read the news about Timothy and Stella.

“Evie!” Aria exclaimed, her voice trembling with surprise, “Have you seen this?
