The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 124

The towering skyscrapers of the city cast long shadows on the bustling streets below, as Timothy pushed through the revolving glass door of his father’s building. With every step he took, the weight of anticipation hung heavily over him, threatening to drown his thoughts.

Timothy entered Kamran’s opulent office, decorated with exquisite art and furnished with plush leather chairs. Kamran, dressed impeccably in a tailored suit, stood behind a massive mahogany desk, a faint smile on his lips as he extended a hand.

“Timothy, glad you came,” Kamran greeted him, his voice smooth and polished.

Timothy nodded curtly and shook Kamran’s hand. “What’s this all about?”

Kamran motioned for Timothy to take a seat, and as they settled into the comfortable chairs, a brief silence filled the room.

Finally, Kamran broke the silence. “I’ve been working on something big, Timothy, something that could change the course of our family’s legacy.”

Timothy’s eyes narrowed. “What does that have to do with me?”

Kamran leaned back in his leather chair, a smug smile playing at his lips. “Timothy, my boy, it’s been a while since we had a heart–to–heart talk about your

your future.”

“My future?” Timothy snorted, lifting an eyebrow. “I’ve got that covered but thank you.”

Kamran’s smile widened as he steepled his fingers. “No, listen. I’ve been working on a multibillion–dollar deal with Stella’s father, and it occurred to me that it’s time for you to step up and join the family business.”

Timothy’s jaw clenched, and he felt a familiar surge of frustration. He had worked hard to build a life for himself away from the suffocating expectations of his family. He had finally found a sense of independence, and he wasn’t about to let Kamran drag him back into the fold.

“For the last time, I have no interest in your deals or your family business,” Timothy replied curtly. “I’ve made a life for myself.”

Kamran sighed, his tone dripping with frustration. “Timothy, you’re still living in

the shadows of your own potential. You’ve got talent, but you’re wasting it on that small–time hockey career. You could be so much more.”

Timothy laughed, shaking his head. “Tell that to my fans. Hell, tell that to my team, because I’m sure they’d argue against my hockey career being ‘small“”

Kamran’s voice remained eerily calm. “It’s not just the career choice that I have an issue with, Tim.”

Timothy grunted, rubbing the fresh stubble on his chin. Before he could respond, his father went on.

“It seems like every year you’re in a new relationship,” said Kamran. “I remember that Lyla girl, or the one with that awful makeup and trashy clothing line. Of course, you never brought any of them around.”
