HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 40
David pov "The food is amazing, right David?" the investor said, forcing a smile out of me as I downed my red wine in one go. What’s happening to me? I usually pay attention at every meeting or dinner party for our company, but right now, I can’t focus. The only thing on my mind is Olvia. Is she sleeping well? Eating properly? Is she having nightmares without me? At least I feel a bit better knowing my mom called yesterday, saying she wants Olvia to spend some time with her, so she’s taking her home. Honestly, I can’t wrap my head around it. Maybe she wants to get to know Olvia better. I know my mom loves me, but she doesn’t show it much because of Dad; she loves him more than anything. I really want to say no, but I don’t have a choice. It’s better for Olvia to be with my family than to be alone. What worries me is Amelia. I haven’t talked to her since I told her to cut ties with Zayden. I doubt she’ll actually listen to me and stop seeing him, and I’m afraid she might spill ever
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER 41
Olivia pov "Mom, don’t do that! You’re ruining it!" I yelled as David's mom dumped a ton of chocolate into the cake mix we were making. She just laughed and said, "Aren't we all chocolate lovers?" I sighed, "Yeah, but not until you both end up with diabetes!" I said, hearing me. She shot me a playful glare that made me burst out laughing. I never expected that hanging out with David's parents would make me this happy. David's mom told me to call her 'Mom' since I'm marrying her son, which is kind of sweet. After chatting with David's dad that night, I felt way more at ease. He's pretty chill and laughs with us, but he can get annoyed easily, just like David. Right now, Mom and I are in the kitchen trying to bake a cake. Honestly, Mom doesn’t really know how to bake, but I’m teaching her, even though she’s not really paying attention. I always wished I had this kind of bond with my real mom, but now I do. "Olivia, I never thought baking a cake would be this hard," Mom sighed. "It’
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER 42
Olivia pov I'm chopping veggies in a fit of anger while stirring the boiling soup. I can't even talk to David right now. I want to buy something, but I can't. Just as I'm about to head to our room, Mom stops me to ask for help with dinner, so I'm stuck with that. And David? He’s still upstairs, really getting on my nerves. First, he brings home some girl who’s clearly after him, and now he won’t even explain himself. But honestly, why would he? It’s just a marriage of convenience, and we can’t stand each other. Lost in my thoughts, I accidentally touch the hot pot and yelp in pain. "What the hell do you think you’re doing?" I hear a voice say. I look over to see David leaning against the wall, looking at me with that annoyed expression. He notices my burned hand and comes over, grabbing it and putting it under running water. I shut my eyes from the pain but then open them to see him in a casual t-shirt and grey pajamas, still somehow looking handsome. "Stop looking at me," he sa
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER 43
David pov I slowly lift my gaze to the closed door, which has been shut for two minutes. The silence in the room feels heavy, almost suffocating. I let out a sigh, tossing my phone aside with a little more force than necessary, and get up from the bed. Why isn’t she coming in? Is she busy with my mom? The thought gnaws at me, and I plop back down on the bed, my curiosity getting the better of me. Is she getting too cosy with my family, especially my dad? Olivia seemed pretty chill, so maybe my dad is too. I’ve never seen him like this before, laughing and joking in a way that felt foreign to me. Ugh! I get up again, pacing the small space of my room, heading toward the door. Come on, I’m waiting! Why is she taking so long? Suddenly, I hear footsteps approaching, and I dash back to the bed, grabbing my phone in a desperate attempt to appear nonchalant—pretending I’m not bothered at all. Of course, I’m not! Right? The door swings open, and I clear my throat, trying to mask the flutt
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER 44
Olvia povI toss my hand to the side and feel around, tapping the bed as I slowly open my eyes, only to find it empty. I sit up, wondering where David is. Ugh, I’m so tired, I mumble to myself, resting my head in my hands. Last night was rough; David slept on my chest the whole time, making it impossible to get comfortable. But hey, at least he’s okay now. A small smile appears as I think of his face. Ugh, seriously, what a pain! I groan and flop back onto the bed. I grab my phone and see it’s already 10 AM. Oh no, I overslept! I jump out of bed and rush to the bathroom for a quick shower, then throw on my cute navy blue dress. I leave my hair down and dash downstairs. As I reach the living room, I spot Dad sitting on the couch, reading the newspaper. I plop down next to him and ask, “Where is everyone?” He glances at me and replies, “You woke up late.” I nod, “Yeah, I know.” He continues, “Your mom’s in the kitchen, but I’m not sure about David.” That confuses me, so I ask, “Why do
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER 45
David pov I trust my husband. That word—trust—keeps echoing in my head, a relentless mantra that both comforts and torments me. I toss my pen onto my desk, the clatter breaking the silence of my office, just as my company phone rings, pulling me back to reality. I pick it up, my voice steady as I say, "Sir, you have a meeting, and I have some files to send you," my secretary informs me, her tone professional yet tinged with concern. I let out a sigh, the weight of the day pressing down on me. "Cancel everything; I’m not coming into the office," I reply, my voice firmer than I feel, and I hang up abruptly. Leaning back in my chair, I feel the heaviness of my thoughts settle around me like a thick fog. She believes in me—no one else has that kind of faith, not for money or anything else. Just me. But Lilly is about to disrupt my peace at home, while Olivia handles everything with a level of maturity I never expected from her. Lilly walks into my office, her arms outstretched, trying
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER 46
Olvia pov My footsteps echoed through the house as I paced back and forth for the past hour, glancing at the clock every few seconds. Each tick felt like a reminder of my own impatience, a cruel metronome marking the time I spent waiting for someone who seemed to have forgotten about me. It made me feel pathetic, wondering what I was doing waiting around for a guy who clearly didn’t care about me. The memory of the earlier incident replayed in my mind, a loop of disappointment and frustration. I had rushed home, my heart racing. I hugged David's parents tightly, feeling the warmth of their love as I told them I was leaving. They weren’t thrilled about it, their faces etched with concern, but I insisted. I needed to take control of my life, to make choices that were right for me, even if it meant stepping away from the familiar.I had already messaged David to let him know I was home, just in case he got back too. Now it’s 3 AM, and I’m still in the living room, waiting for him. The
HATE TO LOVE YOU CHAPTER – 1
Olivia pov The vibrant lights, booming music, and the wild crowd at the club are just not my scene. I let out a sigh as I step outside, realising it's already 10 pm and I'm still stuck here. I didn't even want to come to this club, but my friend forced me to attend her birthday party without mentioning it would turn into a stripper party. Now I'm trapped here with no way to get home and no cabs available in my area. To top it off, my so-called friends are ignoring me, leaving me stranded. I glance at my phone in the silence, realising I have no other choice. I dial a number and hold the phone to my ear as the person on the other end answers, "Hello, who is this?" I roll my eyes and reply, "Cut the act, you already know it's me." He chuckles , "Why did you call me, Olivia? Did you do something bad?" Hearing him I scoff, "I'm not you brother who always gets into trouble and makes our dad angry." He pauses for a moment before growing, "Listen, please come and pick me up. I'm sending y
