HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 27
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

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
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 29
Olivia pov My legs are sore, my body aches, my vagina feels numb, and my jaw is still throbbing. I’ve already woken up, but I can’t muster the energy to open my eyes. The remnants of last night swirl in my mind like a fog, leaving me disoriented. I have no clue where I am or who I’m with; all I know is that I’m lying on a comfy bed, and a familiar scent is wafting through the air—something warm and comforting, like fresh linen mixed with a hint of cologne. I take a deep breath, trying to shake off the lingering haze, and finally manage to pry my eyes open. The bright light streaming through the window momentarily blinds me, but as my vision adjusts, I realize I’m in my room. The white walls are glowing with sunlight, making everything look so pretty, almost ethereal. I turn my head slowly, and my heart skips a beat when I see David sleeping next to me. This is the second time I’ve found him like this on my bed, looking like a Greek god. Last time, he had clothes on, but now he’s co

David pov I can't shake off Olivia's words: "Forget what happened; it's just a heat of the moment." I close my laptop and rub my eyes, realizing she might be right. I should just let it go; it was a fleeting moment, and nothing's going to come of it. Just then, my phone buzzes, and I see a message from Andrew. Perfect timing, right? I read, "Good job, everyone knows you’re my son-in-law." My jaw clenches, and I toss my phone onto the desk. I then open my laptop to check out the info Alex sent me.I open the email where Rhys and his son Zayden meadows information is there. I need to know whom I am dealing with in case things go worst.In the shadowy underworld of organised crime, one name reigns supreme: Rhys Meadows. The ruthless and cunning Mafia King has built an empire through blood, sweat, and tears, crushing all who dare oppose him. His reign of terror is legendary, and his power is unmatched.But beneath the surface of Rhys' iron-fisted rule lies a complex web of family dynam

Olivia pov I need this red dress," Sofia said, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she held the garment up against her. I couldn't help but frown at her enthusiasm. "This one? As far as I know, this isn’t really your style," I replied, giving her a sceptical look while taking in her cheerful face, which was practically glowing with anticipation."And what is my style?" she shot back playfully, raising an eyebrow at me. I nodded slowly, considering my response. "A decent girl, not a slutty one," I laughed, and she joined in, her laughter ringing out like music in the bustling mall. Right now, Sofia and I were just hanging out, enjoying a much-needed shopping spree. The mall was alive with the sounds of chatter, laughter, and the occasional clinking of shopping bags. I felt surprisingly good, my legs not aching at all after a hearty breakfast, a refreshing nap, and waking up feeling rejuvenated. It was a perfect day to escape the monotony of life. My legs are not in pain anymore.
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 32
Olivia pov It’s 10 pm, and I’m lounging on the sofa, waiting for the one person I can’t stand. I never thought I’d find myself in this situation, but here I am. I let out a sigh and took a deep breath, closing my eyes and resting my head back. It’s been a while since I got home from shopping with Sofia, and I haven’t eaten anything yet. I’m just waiting for David to show up so we can have dinner together. It’s getting late, and he must be starving. Don’t get me wrong; I’m only doing this to thank him for ordering food for me. No one else cares for me like he does, and that’s enough to make me feel a bit overwhelmed. So, it’s just a thank-you dinner. After about 15 minutes, the doorbell rings, and I frown, quickly rushing to open the door. There’s David, looking pretty worn out. “You didn’t sleep?” he asks. I just shake my head and step aside to let him in. He drops his bag on the sofa and flops down, loosening his tie and taking a deep breath. I can see him relax a bit. I hurry to

David pov "Clear all the mess from that road!" I abruptly end the call and toss my phone onto the bed. Olivia is still unconscious. Rising from the chair, I grab a glass of water from the nightstand and splash it on her face. She jolts awake, gasping for air with her eyes shut tight. I furrow my brows as I take a seat in front of her. "What happened?" she yells, but her expression shifts to a glare when she sees me. "Did you do this?" she asks, frustration evident in her voice. I nod slowly, and she huffs, "Of course, that's a stupid question." I can't help but smirk, knowing no one has ever woken her up like this before. "What's your problem?" she demands. "Hmm, good question," I reply with a forced grin. "My problem is you and your mess." My tone is firm, leaving her puzzled, but soon her face pales. Clearing her throat, she asks, "D-did you really kill him?" "Yes, I did, but I didn't want to," I responded. She looks at me with pity. "I want to torture him, chop off the finger

Olivia pov Fucking fit it Dam it I curse under my breath, cursing as I slip on my heels. With a sigh, I glance in the mirror—red eyes, pale skin, and messy hair staring back at me. I look like a total Hot mess. This black dress hugs my curves just right, showcasing my big boobs and my ass. I didn’t sleep a wink last night; every time I tried, all I could see was that bloody scene and his lifeless body. It’s not like I feel sorry for him—he had it coming. Who knows how many girls he brutally killed just because they turned him down? I was almost his next victim until my monster swooped in to save me. Sorry, my monster, but that’s what he said, right? I touch up my lipstick and adjust my dress. This morning, I woke up to find David had already left, but he left breakfast with a note saying, “Eat up and be ready by 8 PM.” The food was delicious; he really knows how to cook. I spent the day glued to my phone and TV, not shedding a tear for that jerk. Now, here I am, all dressed up and

David pov Andrew shouted, "What are you doing?" just as I landed a solid punch to his face. The impact reverberated through the room, and he crashed onto the table, fear washing over him like a tidal wave. I wasn’t about to let him off the hook easily, not with my girl lying in a hospital bed, barely clinging to life. The image of her pale face haunted me, fueling my rage. I yanked his collar, glaring into his eyes, which were wide with a mix of shock and terror. "I warned you, didn’t I? I told you not to cross the line, especially not with her."The words dripped with venom as I followed up with another punch, this time to his nose. Blood spilled out, painting a stark contrast against his pale skin. The metallic scent filled the air, mingling with the adrenaline coursing through my veins. Thankfully, it was just the two of us in the house; if anyone else had been around, I wouldn’t have cared. I was beyond reason, driven by a primal instinct to protect what was mine.He gasped, "Wha
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 56
Olivia pov I gradually open my eyes, feeling a sharp pain in my right hand. As I turn to my side, I notice the nurse is busy filling up a glucose bag. A sleepy moan escapes my lips when I realise David isn’t here. Where could he be? Ugh, he must be crammed into that tiny bed. I let out a sigh and asked the nurse, "When can I go home?" She looks at me and replies with a smile, "Today," before heading out. Great, now I’m stuck here alone. I really need to hit the bathroom. Taking a deep breath, I push myself up. Guess it’s time for a solo trip to the washroom. I grab the nearest lamp that’s sitting by the machines and use all my strength to move. They’ve had me in this cold water for way too long, and I feel like I’m starving. No wonder my legs, hands, and pretty much my whole body feel so numb that I can barely walk. Where’s David? I glance at the door again, but it’s still empty. With another deep breath, I take a step forward, then another, letting out little screams with each ste
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 55
Olivia pov I can feel the chill against my skin, my eyes are shut tight, and I’m lying on the bed. I’m not sure where I am, but I guess it’s a hospital since I can hear the machines beeping around me. Slowly, I crack my eyes open and find myself staring at a spinning fan right above me. As I turn my head, I notice needles stuck in my hand, and I’m dressed in a hospital gown. My heart sinks. I try to push myself up but end up collapsing back down. “What are you doing?” a voice calls out. I glance to my side and see David sitting on the couch. He stands up when he sees me, and he looks so different—his eyes are tired, his face is dull, and he seems completely drained, like he’s just existing without really living. With all my strength, I manage to sit up, and he watches me from a distance. Our eyes meet, and we don’t say a word; we just silently communicate how empty we feel without each other. “I love you,” the words slip out before I can stop them. He looks at me, confused. “F

David pov "Take that outside," I said, frowning. "But it's just a wallet." He shook his head at me. "Drop it outside," he replied in a cold tone, making me comply. Rhys had trained his bodyguard well. I set my wallet aside as the guard started checking me again. I waited patiently, eager to get this over with because Olivia's parents and her brother, who is also my childhood friend, had no idea she was missing. It’s not that I don’t want them to know; I’m just too swamped with their so-called drama. That’s why I asked my mom to fill them in, so Andrew could get a sense of what’s going on. Trust me, if anything happens to Olivia, I’m going to take that bastard down hard. "All done," the guard said, leading me to Rhys's office. I walked slowly, taking in the mansion—it was a bit bigger than mine. I was pretty sure there was a basement where they were keeping Olivia. The blue walls with grey shades gave off a really dull vibe. How long do I have to match his slow pace? How long until
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 53
Olivia pov The icy water hit me, jolting me awake as I gasped for air, my eyes snapping open to nothing but darkness. Panic surged through me as the memory of what happened flooded back— Fuckk, I’ve been kidnapped. My head throbbed painfully, and my body felt completely numb from the cold water soaking me. I was tied to a wooden chair that reeked of something dead—let’s just say it's an animal, because thinking otherwise would freak me out even more. My mind raced with questions, but no answers came. I could hear faint laughter in the background, and just as I felt myself slipping away again, the lights flickered on, revealing the grim reality of my situation. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust, and I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I was in a basement—dimly lit, with a bloody smell and an overall horror vibe, the kind of place where people get tortured or worse. And now it seemed like it was my turn. I spotted three muscular goons who had barged into my house. “L

David pov The sound of my kick echoed through the room as I smashed the door open, sending it crashing onto the marble floor. "Where the hell were you guys when all this went down?" I yelled, my voice booming enough to make my bodyguards flinch. The chaos that greeted me in my own home was a sight I never wanted to see. And Olivia fuckkkkkkk.Furniture was overturned, shattered glass littered the floor, and the air was thick with the stench of fear and desperation. My heart raced as I thought of Olivia—was she safe? The thought of her being with Ryan's crew sent a wave of nausea through me."Sir, we weren't here when it happened. Only four of our guys were, and they're already dead," one of my bodyguards replied, his voice trembling slightly. I could see the fear in his eyes, and it only fueled my anger. I slammed my fist on the nearest table in frustration, the wood splintering under the force of my blow. That’s when I noticed it—a dark, dried stain of blood on the floor that sent
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER 51
David pov Today has been such a long day. I let out a big yawn as I shut my laptop; it’s already 10 PM, and the office closed an hour ago. Yet, here I am, still stuck in my cubicle working on upcoming projects. James was right; I really need to let others handle their tasks instead of taking everything on myself. Not that my own problems are any less. I glance at my watch again—has Olivia already fallen asleep, or is she waiting for me? Time to head home, I mumble to myself as I stand up. Just as I’m about to leave, my phone rings. I pick it up and see it’s one of my bodyguards. Great, what now? I answer, and he says, “Sir, Amelia is leaving.” I’m instantly confused. “What?” I ask firmly, but he goes silent. “Answer me, damn it!” I shout. Finally, he responds, “Sir, Amelia is sneaking out of the house with all her luggage and some guy.” My confusion turns to shock. This girl… “Where are they?” I demand, anger and fear bubbling up inside me. I know it’s Zayden. “Sir, they’re leavi

Olivia pov I'm at the sink with this plate, the tenth one to wash. It's not even dirty; I'm just going over all the clean ones again to avoid any disasters. "Ugh, damn it!" I yell as I slam the plate down, shattering it into pieces. "Calm down, Olvia, just breathe," I tell myself, but how can I? He did it again! How does he always manage to disappear after we’ve spent hours together? I plop down in the nearest chair, trying to shake it off, but it’s no use. This morning, I wake up and David is nowhere to be found. All I got was a text saying he had to leave for some urgent work. I remember how hard I slammed my phone on the table after reading that. I know I shouldn’t be this upset, but I am. I want him there when I wake up, wrapped in his arms as I open my eyes. Instead, I’m left with an empty bed. I don’t know why I keep expecting more from him. He’s never said he loves me or even cares; it’s just me hoping that maybe this marriage could work. But guess what? I sigh, realising I
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 49
David pov The lights were bright, making it hard for me to focus. "So, should we start working on the project?" one of the Group 1 employees asked, prompting a sigh from me as I tried to process his presentation. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed, casting a harsh glare on the glossy presentation slides that flickered on the screen. I rubbed my temples, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on me. "Alright, go ahead with that project, but make sure to get a top celebrity to promote it," I replied, standing up to leave the meeting room. The thought of celebrity endorsements always seemed to add a layer of excitement, but it also meant more pressure. "Sir, what about Group 2? They still have pending projects," my secretary reminded me, causing me to pause and turn back. Her voice was steady, but I could sense the underlying urgency. "Give them a week. If they can't finish their pending projects by then, that's on them," I said as I walked into my office, the door clicking s
