HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 21
Olivia pov "Yeah, I did," I mumbled, my voice barely above a whisper as I stared at the floor, desperately trying to hide the heat creeping up my cheeks. The embarrassment was almost unbearable, and I could feel the weight of Sofia's gaze on me. Her jaw dropped in disbelief, and before I knew it, she had flopped onto the bed, her limbs flailing around like she had just hit the jackpot in some ridiculous game show. "Oh my god, Olivia, you actually did that!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of shock and excitement, which only made my blush deepen. Ugh, this was the last thing I wanted to deal with right now! I couldn't stand the thought of being the centre of attention, especially not for something so cringe-worthy. And David—he was the root of all this nonsense. "Girl, you’re telling me you grabbed David's collar and kissed him? The David Dawson? The guy every girl dreams about, and the one you can't stand?" she shouted, her eyes wide with disbelief. I sighed heavily, feeling the f

Olivia pov I ring the doorbell and let out a shaky breath. It’s been ages since I last saw Mom and Dad. I doubt they’ve changed much, but I press the button again, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety bubbling in my chest. The sound of the chime echoes through the quiet house, and I can almost hear the memories flooding back—laughter, arguments, and the comforting hum of family life. When Mom opens the door, her eyes widen in shock, and before I can say anything, she pulls me into a warm embrace. “Olivia, are you okay?” she asks, her voice laced with concern. I can feel the familiar scent of her perfume, a blend of lavender and something sweet, wrapping around me like a soft blanket. I just smile and nod, trying to reassure her. “I’m good! What about you?” I reply, breaking the hug and stepping inside. As she closes the door behind me, I take a moment to absorb my surroundings. The house feels both familiar and foreign. Some things have changed; the old painting that used to ha

David pov "David, David, where have you been? I've been calling you for the last minute!" A voice jolted me back to reality. I quickly cleared my throat. "Uh, yeah, I'm here. Go ahead," I replied as the guy in front of me nodded and started going on about how great his company is and how beneficial it would be for me to collaborate with him. I'm in Italy right now, stuck in a meeting room because of some urgent matter. I left a message for Olivia saying I had to go, but honestly, I can't shake this feeling of being out of it. As the CEO of a major company, I should be focused, but my mind keeps drifting back to that night with Olivia—her smooth skin, those curves, and those lips that drive me wild. It's frustrating because I shouldn't feel this way about her, especially since she's the daughter of the guy who's blackmailing me. But damn, I can't help but think about what I want to do with her. I want to hear her scream my name, to feel her in my arms, completely under my control

David pov "Why didn’t you let me know you were roaming outside?" I said, my annoyance clear as I parked the car in front of my place. I was seriously frustrated at this point. She just stared at me, not saying a word. "How do you know I’m here?" she asked, which only made my jaw tighten in irritation. "That’s not what I asked," I replied. Hearing that, she got out of the car and headed straight for the house. I closed my eyes, trying to calm down, but I quickly followed her, slamming my door behind me. "Don’t fuck with me, Olivia. I’m not in the mood," I warned her. She paused for a moment. "I don’t have an answer for you. I just went to see James," she stammered. I stepped closer, closing the gap between us. "If you want to see him, fine, but not like this—wandering around when I’m not here to look out for you," I said. She frowned, her eyes narrowing. "I don’t need your protection, David," she shot back, making me clench my jaw as a possessive instinct kicked in. I pulled he

Olivia pov I was dozing off peacefully when the sun's rays started to warm me up. Mmmmm, I let out a little moan as I buried my face deeper into the pillow, inhaling that irresistible scent. Just as I was about to relax completely, my eyes flew open. Wait a minute, this pillow doesn’t smell like that, and why is it so tight? I blinked and saw David's face just inches from mine, his eyes closed and arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. My heart raced as I took in his chiselled jaw and those striking features, not to mention that intoxicating scent that could make any girl weak in the knees."Don’t look at me like you’re about to fall in love," he murmured in a sleepy voice, making my heart skip a beat as he opened his eyes. Those deep, dark pools seemed to hold a world of secrets, and for a moment, I was lost in them. "I... umm... let me go," I stammered, cursing myself for sounding so flustered. My cheeks felt hot, and I could feel the heat radiating from his body, makin

Olivia pov A voice cut through my thoughts, saying, "Don't act like you're about to set that building on fire." I didn't need to be a genius to know who it was. "If you're in, it's always a yes," I replied, glancing at David. He wasn't surprised or shocked; he knew I meant it. Standing in front of his building, I felt a different vibe than when I first arrived. I couldn't deny how beautiful it was. "Try not to use your mouth too much in a press conference," he said, but I just ignored him. Yeah, I was planning to give him the silent treatment because he’s more stubborn than anyone I know. And honestly, I had no intention of ruining his reputation; I'm not that cruel. Right ?Anyway, focus, Olivia. I was wearing a baby pink dress that hugged my curves, covering my arms and knees. I definitely wasn’t there to seduce anyone; I just needed to look good for this event, which felt like my own downfall. I turned to face him—his white shirt and black coat, perfectly styled hair, and tha

David pov One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight—slowly, I shut my eyes, listening to the tick-tock of the clock on my office wall. The place is buzzing with chatter, but all I can focus on is that watch. Olivia is over there with her parents, avoiding eye contact after what went down earlier. Not that I care, right? "David, you jerk!" A voice snaps me back to reality. I turn around to see James, looking sharp in his three-piece suit. Thank goodness he showed up; I need a distraction from thoughts of how Olivia's thighs felt against my hand. "Why are you so late?" I ask, trying to keep it cool. He scoffs."Yeah, it’s all because I couldn’t decide what to wear." He waves down a waiter and orders us two drinks. Normally, I wouldn’t drink before something important, but right now, I down it to push Olivia out of my mind. "So, how’s my sister doing? Taking care of her?" James asks. I shoot him a look. "Go ask your brilliant sister," I snapped. He playfully punches my shoulder a
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 28
Olivia pov The smell of leather hit me like a ton of bricks, and I shut my eyes, trying to push away the anxiety creeping in. David still wasn’t here; maybe he was chatting with James. I know it’s rude to just show up without saying hi to anyone in the family, but honestly, I’m over it. I’m done with tonight, done with people, and definitely done with this anxiety. I need something to calm me down, like, right now. I let out a sigh and opened my eyes, the reporter's question still echoing in my head—him with another girl? No way. If that were true, he would definitely tell me. I know David; he’s not the type to cheat. He’s straight and has enough guys around to keep things real. Just then, I spotted a figure approaching—David was strutting towards me like he owned the place, coat in one hand and sleeves rolled up. My stomach twisted. He got in the car, tossed his coat in the back seat, and looked at me. “Are you okay?” he asked, so politely it made me wonder if he was really David
