Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 41; Double Attention
Becky’s POV The story was all over the news!“It is all over the news!” Frank said, surprised.I was speechless. I hadn’t noticed any newsagents there, but they had been.I watched the story and blushed as I was called a hero. “I am not a hero!” I groaned, switching off the TV.“You are,” Frank insisted. “You were very brave, and I am so glad you are okay.”“Thank you.”“And I need to explain what happened on Sunday,” Frank said.I stopped him, “You have already apologized.”“I need to explain.” He held my hand. “I really have feelings for you, Becky, and I was disappointed that you didn’t seem to realize it. But that was no excuse to act the way I did.”“I didn’t realize it at first, but when I did, I meant to call you and explain too.” I sighed. “I like you Frank, I do, but not that way. I don’t want anything romantic right now, I just want us to be friends,” I explained.“Why? I am not putting pressure on you, it is just that I care about you, and I would like you to consider it.

Becky’s POV I was shocked. Didn’t she know it was me?“Mom, I said, it is me, Rebecca.”"And I ask again, what do you want? Why are you bothering me?” She demanded.“Didn’t Wendy tell you I had been trying to call you, your number wasn’t going so-““You haven’t answered my question. What do you want?”“I wanted to know how you are. I have missed you-““I am fine, now you know, are you happy now?” She snapped.“I got into some trouble, it was on the news-““So? What is my business if you go about picking fights?” She said.“No mom, it is not like that! It wasn’t a fight, I was attacked. You see-““I am not interested, Rebecca! I am not interested in you or anything about you! Can you now stop bothering me!” She was yelling so loudly and I had to move the phone away from my ear.I was shocked. Tears stung my eyes. I noticed Dom watching me carefully. I was ashamed. I knew he could hear what was being said.“I am sorry mom. Please send me your address. Please, Mom. I want to visit, I am

Becky's POV “Hey Frank, just in time for dinner.” Phillip smiled.“Lucky me,” Frank muttered. He wasn’t smiling but was looking at us suspiciously.“Are you okay?” He asked me.“Yeah, I am fine. What is that?” I asked, pointing at the bag he was holding.“I brought you dinner,” he said.“Guess you will be okay then,” Phillip told me. “Take it easy, okay? I will see you tomorrow.”I nodded, slightly disappointed that Frank had shown up. I knew Phillip had been about to kiss me, and had been looking forward to it. I watched him walk back to the house.“What was that?” Frank asked, frowning.“Nothing. Come into the living room,” I said.“You look upset,” he said.“I am, just a little bit. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my Dad’s death,” I said sadly.His frown cleared. “I am sorry about that. Here, I brought you some pizza.”“Wow, thanks. Join me, let’s eat.”We sat on the sofa and began eating the pizza.“How was your day? Hope you weren’t bored?” He asked.“No, I was okay and you?”“I

Becky’s POV She hugged me so tightly that I was almost choking.“Thank you! Oh, thank you so much!” She exclaimed.I fought for air, wondering who she was.“Thank you for rescuing grandma. You are a hero!” She cried.This must be Linda. I thought.Frank managed to pull her away from me.“Easy Linda,” he said. “Becky, this is Brenda’s granddaughter-““I am Linda, Phil has told me everything! I am so grateful. He said you kept telling everyone, but they won’t believe you till you took matters into your own hands! How can I ever thank you?” I stared at the beautiful red-headed woman. “It was nothing really, Miss-““Linda. Call me Linda, please. And it was something.” “I agree,” Anna added,“Oh, Anna, forgive me,” she hugged her. “How are you?”“Better now that Brenda is okay. Thanks to Rebecca, she noticed quickly that something was wrong.”Linda burst into tears.“I spoke to her nearly every day and I didn’t notice. What does that say about me?” She cried.Frank opened his arms to co

Becky’s POV I stood shocked, my heart burning with jealousy as I watched them kiss passionately.Then I slowly moved out of the room and ran back to my place, slamming the door and leaning against it.Phillip had lied to me! He said they were like brother and sister. Who kisses their sister like that? I slid to the ground.What had I expected? Linda was so beautiful and lively. Why would Phillip choose me over her? I buried my face in my hands and tried not to cry. Only yesterday had Phillip wanted to kiss me. Now Linda had come and he was kissing her.I sat on the floor for a long time, then got up and fell on the sofa. Despite my efforts, I began sobbing.Why? My mind screamed at me. Why are you crying, you fool? So Phillip loves Linda. What were you expecting? He doesn’t love you! He was only being nice to you because you saved Brenda. Stop being silly!“I thought he cared about me,” I sobbed.No, he doesn’t! Stop letting him play with your emotions!I sat up and wiped my eyes. I

Phillip's POV “So what have you been doing all this time?” Linda asked me as she poured us more wine.Rebecca and Gran had just gone upstairs and we were alone. “Nothing, just the usual work, running the family company.”“It must be stressful, don’t you relax?” She asked, rubbing my neck.I gently moved away.“I do when I have time. And you? What have you been doing?” I asked.“Same. Work, I only try to have fun, unlike you,” she teased, then placed her arm on mine. “I have really missed you Phil. I haven’t thought of anyone else, let alone dating anyone.”I tried not to sigh. Linda and I had a childhood together, and I was sure she had a crush on me. As for me, well, I felt nothing different towards her except for a sister, and still do not. She was so excited to see me when I went to bring her home from the airport, and she had thrown her arms around my neck, kissing me, but I was not moved. My feelings hadn’t changed. She was like a sister to me, but she still wanted us to be a c
Last Updated : 2024-09-10Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 47 The Secret Is Out
I stared at Linda, trying to keep my face expressionless, but inside I was a confused mess!If Linda said Phillip didn’t love her because he was in love with someone else, and the person was not Celine, that could only mean he was in love with…“Will you do it?” Linda asked, dragging me out of my thoughts. “Will you help me?”I tried to think of a way to refuse without annoying her.“I don’t think it will be possible. I spend all the time with Anna. I hardly see Mr. Dale, so how can I help you?”“You could, you knew he was dating Celine, didn’t you? So you can find out who else he is interested in.”“But-““The few times you see him will be enough to find out,” she insisted. “Whatever you discover will be a big help.”I opened my mouth to say more, when Phillip came up to us.“Everything okay?” He asked, looking at us.“Sure, Phil, I am just getting to know Reb more. Ready to head back to work?” Linda asked him.“Yeah, I am,” Philip responded.“Okay,” she stood up and took his hand. “

Becky’s POV She knows thanks to Celine, I thought. Calm down Rebecca, she doesn’t know anything, she only suspects. I told myself.Gracefully, I was more relaxed by the time the elevator came to a stop.I walked into Anna’s room and got her ready for her day. Thankfully, Phillip and Linda had left by the time we came down.After breakfast, I took her to the doctor, who had her checked up and changed her medication.“So far, I hope you like the medication you are on?” I asked her as we left the hospital.“Yes dear, no side effects.”“I am glad. So this means you won’t have to throw it away,” I smiled.“I would never do such a thing,” she said.“You did before,” I reminded her.“No. I never did, I always take my medicine,” she insisted.I looked at Anna to see if she was teasing, but she seemed serious. Had she really forgotten she used to throw her medication away?“Let’s go to Brenda’s place, please,” Anna said, as I helped her into the car. “The rest of her family is coming this a

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!

Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 159. As Planned
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

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
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 154. A Call
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
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 153. I knew it
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
