The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 204
When I finally got back home, after what felt like a never–ending day, I was more than ready to kick off my heels and relax.
But as soon as I walked through the front door, I was met with an unexpected sight. Aria and Lucas were sprawled out on the couch, engrossed in some cheesy rom–com on the television. Their laughter filled the room, and the warm scent of freshly popped popcorn wafted in the air.
Lucas looked up from the screen, his eyes bright with enthusiasm. “Hey, Eviel You’re just in time. We’re about to start a movie. Want to join us?”
I hesitated for a moment, torn between the longing for a peaceful evening and the relentless business that seemed to follow me like a shadow. “I appreciate the offer, Lucas, but I have a ton of work to catch
up
on.”
Aria chimed in, her voice sweet and inviting. “Come on, Evie. You’ve been working yourself into the ground lately. Just one movie won’t hurt, and then you can get back to your stuff.”
The tempting idea of just sinking into the couch and losing myself in a movie for a few hours was almost irresistible, but the voice of responsibility was louder. “I wish I could, but I’ve got deadlines to meet, and I can’t afford any delays.”
Lucas sighed, and I could see a flicker of disappointment in his eyes. “Alright, but you know where to find us if you change your mind.”
I gave them both a small smile and headed toward my home office, leaving them to their entertainment. As I walked into the dimly lit room, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of isolation that had become all too familiar lately.
Sitting down at my desk, I powered up my computer, silently praying that Bruce hadn’t compromised it any further. I had locked down my digital security as much as possible, but with him being one step ahead of me all the time, I couldn’t be too careful.
The desktop loaded, and I nervously clicked through my files, hoping to find no traces of unauthorized access. To my relief, everything seemed intact. Perhaps Bruce had grown bored for the time being, or maybe he was just watching from the shadows, biding his time.
My fingers danced over the keyboard, and I opened my email client, curious about any messages that had come in while I was away. What I found left me stunned.

My inbox was flooded with emails from anonymous senders. The subjects varied from expressions of congratulations to sneering remarks about my competence and reputation. Stella’s case had certainly made headlines, but the reactions ranged from supportive to judgmental. I couldn’t help but be drawn to the most contentious messages.
One email caught my attention, and I opened it with a mix of trepidation and curiosity. The words that met my eyes were venomous, and the anonymous sender clearly had an axe to grind.
