Hate to Love

She loved the wrong brother… and married the one who would never let her go. After her father’s death, Zara Williams’s life slowly begins to fall apart. Her family’s company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and everything her father worked for is slipping away. The night she discovered her childhood crush, Adrian Wright, making love to her best friend, Dahlia. The betrayal shatters her completely. Heartbroken and desperate to save her father’s company, Zara agrees to an arranged marriage with Dante Wright — Adrian’s older brother, the man she least expected to marry. Dante is everything she never knew she needed—calm, protective, and dangerously sincere. But life in the Wright mansion is far from peaceful. Between a vengeful ex, deep family secrets, and hidden truths that threaten to destroy them both. Zara’s heart is caught between love and survival. Can Zara survive the family she’s married into? Can she trust the man she was forced to marry—or the best friend who ruined everything she believed in? When the final secret about her father is revealed, will their love survive the fallout—or will it end in heartbreak? Discover what happens as passion, betrayal, and truth collide in ways no one saw coming. *****

Chapter 1: Chef Girl
***~~ZARA~~***The aroma of sizzling butter and grilled fish filled the entire hall, mixing with the chatter and cheers of students.The university’s annual cooking competition is always loud, messy, and fun. This year, I’m right in the middle of it.I stood behind my counter, fixing the straps of my apron and focusing on the pan in front of me.My spotless station had neatly arranged ingredients—just the way I liked it. If I pulled off my dish perfectly, it would stand out.Raven strutted over in her usual “I own this place” attitude. She flipped her hair like she was walking on a runway, not into a cooking battle.“Well, well, look who’s trying to play chef today,” she said, loud enough for people around to hear. “Don’t burn the building down, Zara.”Typical Raven, the queen bee of college, notorious bully extraordinaire. She’d loved picking on me since freshman year. I gave her a tight smile. “Focus on your dish, Raven. I’ll handle mine.”Her smirk widened. “We’ll see.”The whist

Chapter 2: Sexy Lips
***~~DANTE~~***Zara’s name has been stuck in my head since I saw her inside that hall.I didn’t even plan to walk up to her. I swear. I was going to wait for Adrian by the car and mind my business.But then she rolled her eyes at me like I was some random extra in her life, and my ego said, “Nah, bro, we’re not letting that slide.”So yeah, I went over there.I didn't even know why. Maybe it was her charming face. Or perhaps I just wanted to mess with her before heading back to my boring CEO life.But when she tripped and fell into me, that moment hit different.Her body pressed against mine, and her strawberry shampoo scent lingered in my nose. It smelt so damn good.She looked up at me like she hated me, but her eyes said something else. And those lips looked like they were made to ruin me.Now I’m behind the wheel, driving Adrian home, pretending I’m not replaying that moment in my head.“Bro, are you good? You’ve been quiet,” Adrian asked.“Yeah, just thinking about work stuff,

Chapter 3: My Goals
***~~ZARA~~***It's past 10 p.m. I’m still up, folding clothes and fixing my bed like some busy bee even though my body begged for sleep.I tried not to overthink, but my brain refused to shut up. It drifted back to what happened earlier at school—that stupid moment when I tripped and fell into Dante Wright’s arms. Just remembering it made my skin heat up. Ugh. I could still smell his stupidly expensive cologne like it was haunting me.God, why did I have to fall? Why did he have to catch me? And why did my heart have to act so stupid about it?I shook my head, climbing into bed.It didn’t matter. Dante is irrelevant. He’s just Adrian’s annoying older brother who loved to mess with me. That’s it. Nothing more.I pulled the covers over me, staring at the ceiling.Mom had been acting weird since she got back from the Wrights’ mansion earlier. She hadn’t said a word to me. Just walked in, went straight to her room, and stayed there.Something was off. I could feel it.But I’m too tire

Chapter 4: Completely Broke
***~~ZARA~~***I stood outside the bursar’s office for a few seconds, trying to calm my breathing before knocking.“Come in,” she said.I walked in slowly. “Good morning, Ma.”She gave me that tired look teachers always have when they’re about to lecture someone. “I’m going to be direct with you.”“Your tuition fees haven’t been paid. Finals are in less than two weeks, and your account shows zero payments for this entire semester.”My hands gripped the edge of the chair, and I bit my lip. “Yeah, sorry. We’re… dealing with some stuff right now. We’ll pay soon.”She sighed and rubbed her temples. “Zara, you’re one of our best students. Your grades are excellent. Your professors speak highly of you. But the school has rules.”“If payment isn’t received by the end of this week, you won’t be allowed to take your final exams.”What could I possibly say? The truth? That we lost everything? That my dad died in an accident, due to the frustration of his bankrupt company?Only the Wrights kne

Chapter 5: Little Brother
***~~DANTE~~***Adrian confessed his love to Zara right in front of us, and I knew it was complete bullshit.My brother could act sweet and emotional and even cry if he had to. He did it all before. None of it was ever real.What he wanted was to sleep with her. That’s what it’s always been about.The fact that Zara had been his friend since we were kids made this whole thing even more disgusting. She trusted him and believed in him. And here he was, using that against her.I didn’t say anything, though. She has to see it herself. If I say it now, she’d think I'm jealous.Mrs Williams stood near her side, watching Adrian like she already knew what type of guy he was. Smart woman.I felt bad for Zara. If there were other ways to help her family without this marriage, I’d do it. But my trust fund’s locked till I get married—family rules.Adrian was still holding her hand when Dad’s voice came from behind.“Adrian, enough.”Everyone turned to look at him. Dad stood near the entrance wi

Chapter 6: Broke Ass Zara
***~~ZARA~~***I ran all the way from the Wright mansion and didn’t stop until I reached the gate of my family home.When I got into the house, I slammed my door shut, locked it behind me, and then sank onto my bed.I stared at the wall, trying to calm my mind, but all I could hear was Adrian’s voice when he told me he loved me.I didn’t know whether to scream or cry.He had all the time in the world to say those words. We spent every damn day together, and he waited till now.It felt like he only wanted me once he realised I was slipping away from him. It hurt in a way I didn’t even expect.If he had told me earlier, maybe things would be different. Perhaps it would’ve made me happy. But now it just felt painful and confusing.Everything he said just messed me up completely, because I went into that house ready to marry Dante and to move on from Adrian, but hearing him say those words sent my brain into full chaos mode.I cried until my eyes hurt. I just lay there staring at the wi

Chapter 7: Oh, Dear God
***~~ZARA~~***“Broke ass, Zara.”I turned around and saw the usual troublemaker group walking toward me with phones out and grins on their faces.I placed my hands on my hips and waited for whatever they wanted."Can I help you?" I asked.Raven held up her phone straight at my face. "Just wanted to confirm something."On the screen was a video of me outside the bursar's office yesterday, telling Dahlia and Adrian everything about my family’s situation.I froze for a second.Who recorded that? And how did it get online?"Guess that answers my question," Raven said, laughing. "Broke girl. I saw him drop you off this morning.”Her friends joined in, laughing like it was the funniest thing they'd ever heard.“Raven, what if I am marrying Dante? Got a problem?” I said, standing taller.“Broke girl with sponsorship,” Raven chuckled, pointing at me."So what's your point?" Dahlia cut in."My point?" Raven looked at me. "It's just funny how fast things change. One day you're Miss Perfect,

Chapter 8: A Friend’s Birthday
***~~DANTE~~***I drove away from Zara's house, heading back to my office. The road was clear, and I kept a steady speed, shifting gears smoothly as I navigated through the light traffic.I turned on the radio, and a song started playing. I found myself humming along at first, then singing the lyrics under my breath.The same song played again, and I let it repeat, this time singing louder, my voice blending with the melody. I slowed at stoplights and moved when they turned green.The road went straight, then curved, and I followed it carefully, keeping control the whole way, my voice filling the car as the song played on.The lyrics shifted to something about a club, and suddenly my mind went back to what Zara had told me earlier.She said Adrian was taking her to a club with him tonight.The nerve.Adrian knew she was getting married to me, but he still wanted to take her out as if he had the right.What made it worse was how happy she looked when she said it, and she didn't even

Chapter 9: Baddie At Bedtime
***~~ZARA~~***At exactly 9 p.m., we stepped into the club. Adrian took my hand and led me through the red velvet curtains, with Dahlia just behind us.The room was packed, with pink and red lights flashing, and the bass shaking the floor.“This is crazy,” I shouted over the music.“Just follow me,” Adrian yelled, pulling me toward a booth near the stage.We sat on the couch, and I looked up just in time to see a woman spinning on a pole. Her moves were incredible, and her hair flipped as she moved with the beat.I rolled my eyes but couldn’t stop staring. Everywhere I looked, it was chaos. Moans got lost in the bass. Champagne glasses clicked, and the noise was overwhelming. Yet there was something about it that made me feel alive.“Oh my god!” I grinned, laughing nervously. “This is… a lot. Okay, I’m officially overwhelmed,” I said, still trying to take it all in.Adrian smirked. “Thought you’d expect something tame? This is the whole point.”I chuckled while glancing around. The

Chapter 10: Give Me Something Strong
***~~ZARA~~***I stood outside the stall with my heart beating fast.The sounds from inside grew louder, and I could hear moaning—a female's voice, loud with pleasure, and a male's voice I knew too well. I needed to see this with my own eyes to confirm if I was imagining things.I reached for the door handle, and my hand shook as I pushed it open.What I saw shocked me completely.Adrian had Dahlia pressed against the wall. Her back was flat on it, and her legs were wrapped around his waist. His pants were down, and they were having sex right there in the club bathroom.They didn’t notice I was standing there because they were too focused on what they were doing.Adrian was thrusting into Dahlia, and she had her head thrown back with her mouth open, moaning loudly.“Oh yes, Adrian. You hit the right spot. Do it faster, harder,” Dahlia cried out.I stood still in complete disbelief, and my eyes filled with tears.I patted my eyes slowly, trying to clear them, like I needed to make
