Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 32 Stolen Kiss
Phillip's POV “Miss Richards, I said, buckling my trousers. “What are you doing here?”“This is off limits to staff,” Celine told her arrogantly. “You don’t belong here.”“I am sorry to interrupt, but please you need to keep it down. Anna isn’t feeling well and is trying to fall asleep,” she told us.“That is your business! Do your job and take care of her!” Celine barked.“Hold it Celine!” I snapped. I turned to Rebecca, “Gran is ill? What is wrong with her?”“She is running a fever. I have taken her to the doctor and given her medication, but she needs peace and quietness so she can fall asleep,” she explained.“How dare you talk to your boss like that?” Celine snapped. “You need to fire her, Phil!”“When did it start?” I asked, ignoring Celine.“Since this morning.”“Let me go see her,” I said, buttoning my shirt.“But Phil-“ Celine began.I ignored her and followed Rebecca to Gran's room. She was lying down, half awake.“Hey Gran, how are you feeling?” I asked, sitting beside her

Becky’s POV I opened my eyes and found myself looking straight into the emerald green eyes of Phillip Dale, his lips locked on mine. He moved back suddenly, as if I had bitten him.“Miss. Richards…it is not what you think…..I …I was trying to… I mean… I tripped… you were…” He kept stammering, not making any sense.I sat up and looked around, wondering where I was. I remembered I had read to Anna till she fell asleep, then I decided to have a cup of tea before bed. After that, I couldn’t remember anything else. This is not my room. I mean, how did I get here? And what's Philip doing in the same room as me, on the bed? Did he bring me here? Why? Had he been kissing me? Yes he had. So many questions and thoughts were running through my mind.I thought he said what happened the other day was a mistake? I asked myself.He continued stammering, red-faced, and I tried not to laugh.“It is okay Mr. Dale, I understand. You fell on top of me. I get clumsy too.” I smiled, trying to help him out

Becky’s POV “Who were you expecting?” Celine’s father asked, sitting across from me.I had no answer. I was not in my wildest dreams expecting to see him, even though I had no idea of the identity of the person I had come to meet.“I don’t know sir,” I said, a little uncomfortable. “But I didn’t think it would be you.”“Why? Am I too old to meet a pretty girl?” He smirked.I shifted uncomfortably. What does he want? We do not know each other. I only met him some days ago at the ball, so why is he interested in seeing me?“What would you take?” He asked me.“I am okay.”“I insist.”“A cup of coffee would be nice,” I said reluctantly.He waved to a waiter and we ordered.“Why did you want to see me?” I asked.“Any idea of who I am?” He asked, ignoring my question.“We met a few nights ago,” I said.“But we weren’t properly introduced. I am Ben Davis, a business executive with a lot of influence in this town. And soon to be Phillip Dale’s father-in-law. Celine, my daughter, is his fianc

Becky’s POV “Like I said, he doesn’t scare me,” I said.“Well, be careful of the guy,” Frank warned.“Why do you think he wants to get me away from Anna?” I asked.“I don’t know, did he say much to you at the ball?”“No. Phillip didn’t really introduce us.”“He saw you with Phillip?” Frank frowned.I nodded.“Maybe he is worried you are trying to take Celine’s place.” I laughed at how silly the idea was.“Are you?” Frank asked, looking at me.“What? That is silly. I wouldn’t have even gone if Anna hadn’t insisted on it.” I protested.“I know. I’m only joking. Just ignore the guy.”We drove in silence for a while. I thought about what Frank said. Me trying to take Celine’s place? It wasn’t possible, or was it? Phillip kept acting like he didn’t care about me, but what about all those kisses? I blushed remembering them. They must mean something.I noticed Frank was staring at me.“Phillip is going to marry Celine. So, no room for another woman,” he said suddenly, as if reading my mind

Becky’s POV “He wanted you to say you were in love with him. Are you seriously that dumb Becky?” Jenny asked.I had woken her up before dawn to tell her about the awful time I’d had with Frank the night before.“Are you sure?” I asked, surprised. “He has feelings for you, and he wanted you to say you felt the same way,” Jenny explained.“But I don’t. I see him as a friend,” I protested.“Then let him know that.”“Why didn’t he just come out plainly and say so?” I wondered.“Maybe he is a dork, but if you don’t feel the same way, then tell him plainly,” she advised.“Sure, thanks.”“How about Phillip? Any improvement?”“No, Phillip is a jerk and I want nothing to do with him,” I said firmly.“Are you sure?” She teased.“Yes I am. He yelled at me last night for no reason. Look, forget him. Let’s talk about something else.”We talked a little, then I hung up. I had slept badly and woken up in a bad mood. I had been waiting for Phillip and Celine to leave before I went to Anna, but it w

Becky’s POV I lay on my bed, fully clothed and cried myself to sleep. I couldn’t believe Phillip would really go through with his decision to fire me. Although I should have guessed from the look on his face, and tone of his voice this morning.I woke up just before dawn and was embarrassed by my reflection when I glanced in my vanity mirror.I looked a mess with my wild hair and red, swollen eyes. I took a warm bath and forced myself to accept I would no longer be working for the Dales. I don’t care, I told myself as I combed my hair, I would survive. I will definitely get another job. It is just that I will really miss Anna, and it hurts that I won't be able to bid her goodbye. I began to arrange my things into my bag, then there was a knock on the door.As I made to answer the door, I was surprised to see Phillip standing there.“Good morning, Miss Richards. I need to talk to you,” he said.I stared at him, my eyebrows slightly raised in wonder.“Due to some unforeseen issues, yo

Becky’s POV “And I was thinking you really wanted to hang out with me. I should have guessed your behavior was too good to be true, you sneaky little witch,” he said, coming into the room.“You should be ashamed of yourself you heartless bully,” I said angrily. “Picking on an old lady.”“What is it to you?” He asked. “I am her caregiver and I will treat her anyway I like.”“Not on my watch!” I told him.“Please go dear,” Brenda urged me. “Chris, please let her go.”“Shut up,” Chris told her.“Don’t you yell at her!” I told him. “I will make sure you pay for this.”“Honey go please,” Brenda pleaded.“She is not going anywhere.” Chris closed and locked the door, putting the key in his pocket.“I warned you to mind your business, but you won’t listen now you will wish you had,” he said, moving towards me.“You don’t scare me,” I said firmly. “I am not leaving here without Brenda.”“What is it to you what I do with this old bat?” He asked angrily. “I have told you to let me show you how

Becky’s POV “Oh my goodness! Rebecca! What happened to your face?” Anna asked in alarm.“Nothing Anna, I am okay, really.”“Is it true Brenda was attacked?” She asked.“How did you know that, Gran?” Phillip asked.“One of the neighbors was here just now. She told me Brenda was taken away in an ambulance. It is true, isn’t it?” She began crying.“No Gran, it isn’t. Brenda is fine, thanks to Rebecca,” Phillip told her.“Yes Anna. I was there. Brenda is fine,” I repeated.“I need to see her for myself,” Anna insisted.“Not now, Gran, tomorrow,” Frank said.“We will go see her tomorrow, Gran, I promise,” Phillip agreed.“What happened to you, Rebecca? Is it to do with Brenda?” She asked.“Calm down Gran, let’s go inside and I will explain everything,” Phillip said, then turned to me. “I will look after her, you get some rest.”“I will walk you to your place,” Frank offered.I followed him, happy I wouldn’t have to explain to Anna. My face was swollen up where Chris had hit me and talking

Becky’s POVIt didn’t take long for the cop to find the key and get the chain off my leg. I felt a little dizzy when I tried to stand, but aside from that I was fine. The officer insisted on taking me to the hospital even though I told them I was okay. All I needed was a bath. Phillip rode with me in the ambulance while Celine and Frank were handcuffed and taken away.The doctors agreed I was okay except for the bruise on my ankle, I was told they would keep me for twenty-four hours then I could go home.“I will call Sandra, and the rest to let them know you are okay,” Phillip said as he kissed me.“Sure.”Finally, I was able to take a shower. I felt a lot better, but when I laid down, I couldn’t help being furious about the whole thing. How could Frank do such a thing? He said he loved me, was kidnapping me a funny way of showing it?Sandra and Jenny arrived so quickly I wondered if they had been in the area.They hugged me tightly, laughing and crying.“Thank God you are okay!

Phillip’s POV“Frank! What the hell! Is this a joke?” Rebecca asked.I just stared at him, too lost to find my voice.“Does it look like a joke, Rebecca?” Frank sneered.“Frank, what are you doing?” I finally was able to mutter.“We are working together. Are you surprised?” Celine asked.“What? So Dom is working for you?” Rebecca asked in astonishment.“Sure. He has been my eye in the house from the day he was hired,” Frank smirked. “His job was to keep an eye on everyone there.”“Why?” I asked, stunned.“Are you asking, you idiot?” he laughed. “You really think I like you? You are dumber than I thought.”“We have been working together from the beginning. We knew each other before he introduced me to you, so it wasn’t so hard to come along,” Celine grinned.“So all the sabotage I have been having at the company, and the investors pulling out because of a false rumor, you were behind it?” I flared at Frank.“Yes. And I also told Jessica to dump you. I told her you were having an affair
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 158. The Real Enemy
Phillip’s POVIt was quite late when I got to the beach. Throughout the drive I kept wondering if I was doing the right thing. The kidnapper had phoned me on my way down and asked me to meet him there. He had told me to turn off my handset, and leave it in the car, warning me not to try anything stupid. The way he spoke, I guessed he was somehow observing me. And on my way down I had a feeling that there was someone coming behind me. I pulled up in front of the rundown abandoned building on the edge of the beach that had once been a warehouse. I did everything I was told and stepped out of the car. The air was cold and damp. I could hear the waves and my heart raced as I walked towards the building. I touched an old wooden door and it opened. It was dark inside, but the moonlight streamed in. Everywhere was quiet.“Hello!” I called out. The empty building echoed back at me.“Anyone here? Rebecca?”“Put your hands behind you!” A voice said quietly behind me.My heart skipped, but I o
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 157. The Enemy
Becky’s POV“It has been awhile hasn’t it?” Celine sneered.“So you are behind this? You are working with Dom! I guessed it.”“I am not the only one, stupid.” She laughed.“Who else? Your dad, right?”“You don’t need to know. Did you really think you and Phillip would get away with what you did to my family?”“We didn’t do anything!” I said angrily. “He did. My dad lost his company and reputation because of him! Now it is time for payback.”“You won’t get away with this, Celine!” “Save it! We already have. We are going to get money and get rid of you both.”I swallowed nervously.“What do you mean?” I demanded.“Simple, stupid. We are going to get ransom for you, then make sure you are never seen again. Are you scared?” She asked mockingly.“It won’t work. Phillip has probably informed the security agencies. If you kill me, you will regret it,” I said bravely.“He hasn’t, and he won’t. Besides who said anything about killing you? Although I would have preferred that, my partner has
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 156. The Trick
Phillip’s POVSandra and Jenny looked at me anxiously as I hung up.“Well?” They asked.“The caller is asking for two hundred million dollars.” Sandra gasped. “When does he want it?” She muttered.“In five days.”“I will pay for it.”“Do you have that much money aunt Sandy? Your company may collapse,” Jenny told her.“I don’t mind,” she said. “Okay, I will pay half. Can you make up for the rest, Phillip?”“Wait, you want us to pay the ransom?” I asked, surprised.“Of course,” they chorused.“No. We are not paying any ransom. I will call the police.”“No! The kidnapper warned you not to, remember?” Jenny said.Sandra joined her. “She is right. We will keep it quiet, pay the ransom and Rebecca will be returned to us.” “Come on you two, you can’t really believe that? What if he gets the money and we never hear from him or Rebecca again?”“It is a risk we have to take,” Jenny said.“I prefer to risk going to the police,” I insisted.“No. Pay the money. It is the only way to get her bac
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 155. Escape
Becky’s POVI groaned and twisted as light infiltrated into my eyes. My eyes still felt heavy and that arrogant fragrance was still hovering over my nose.I thought I was at home and was drifting off to sleep again when I heard a cellphone ringing somewhere. The ringtone sounded like mine. I forced myself to open my eyes, and realized with a shock that I wasn’t on my bed at home.Quickly sitting up, my head spun a bit, and realization hit me that I was on an airbed. I looked around and noticed how small and dusty the room was. The only thing visible being the airbed and a portable toilet. Light streamed in from a glass window that had metal bars.Where am I? I thought.I scanned through my brain to recollect my past. Then I remembered. I was at the cemetery, about to leave when I saw Dom standing near my car. I remembered the hankie he tossed before me before I went blank.My heart skipped a beat. Did Dom kidnap me? Why? For money or something more? I tried to stand up, but I felt a p

Phillip’s POV“Enough Wendy! Go to your room!” Her mother snapped.Wendy frowned. “If you know where she is, mom, you should say it. If anything happens to her, you will be held accountable.” She marched to her room.“You see what you have caused! Now my own daughter thinks I am guilty!” She told me angrily.“Are you?” I asked, looking her in the eye.“Don’t be stupid, of course not. I didn’t know she was missing until Wendy started accusing me this afternoon. She was here yesterday and left the way she came.”“So where were you hoping to get the half a million from?”“Like I said, from Rebecca. She promised to give it to me.”I frowned. This was definitely a lie.“She couldn’t have,” I said. “I have looked at the financial records, with the way you left the company, if she took that much money out she risked going bankrupt. So how was she going to do it?”She looked surprised then uncomfortable.“Well maybe from her savings.”“Definitely no. She hasn’t saved up to that.”“I said mayb

Phillip’s POVAn officer stood there. The look on his face caused my heart to sink.“Good evening, Sir, I am asking for Rebecca Richards,” he said.“She is not here. Is anything wrong?”“We found her car parked at the cemetery. We would like her to come and remove it.”“The cemetery. Oh my God!” Sandra said, coming to join us. “She is not with us; we guess she must be in trouble.”“Have you made a report?” The cop asked.“No. I wanted to wait for twenty-four hours. But I will go now and do it,” I responded.I went straight ahead with the cop to remove the vehicle. The car keys, her phone, and her purse were on the driver’s seat.It became glaring that something was definitely wrong. ***“Jerry has something to do with this!” Jenny insisted.We were all in my living room. After I left the station, I went home and let Sandra know what had happened, then I called Frank and Jenny to inform them too. They didn’t waste time to show up in the mansion.After we all agreed that Rebecca may ha
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 152. Where is She?
Phillip’s POVFrank was sitting at a table eating lunch when I got to the restaurant.“I thought you guys had changed your minds and weren’t coming. I decided to order lunch for myself and have a lonely meal,” he complained.“Sorry, I got caught up in an emergency meeting,” I said, joining him.“On Saturday?”“Like I said, it's an emergency.”“Is everything okay now?”“Yeah. I have it under control.”“Why weren’t you picking your calls?” He asked.“You called me? I didn’t hear it. I turned off the volume. Is Rebecca not here?”“No. I called her too, but she did not pick up. She must be at work.”“No. She is taking time off work to prepare for our wedding.”“Really?”“Yes. I thought she would be here, that's why I didn’t hurry so much.”“Nope. I haven’t seen any sign of her. I have been calling her all afternoon,” Frank told me.I dialed her number. It rang without an answer.“She is supposed to meet Jenny this afternoon to pick up her gown. I guess that is where she is. She must have
