Hate You as much as I Love You 75. Final Decision
"What are you doing here, Mr. Blake?" Ariadne asked sharply.Xander was about to reply when Ace's father spoke up from behind."You're Mr. Blake." he exclaimed in disbelief, looking closely at Xander. He was on his way to congratulate Xander when he overheard Ariadne address him as Mr. Blake."I apologize, Sir. I didn't recognize you. Nice to meet you." he extended his hand. Xander shook his hand with a nod."Congratulations on your victory. I didn't know that you have kids." he added, looking at the kids.Xander frowned at his comment."Hello, Miss Miller." the man also greeted Ariadne.She smiled at him."We should leave now. Good night." the man left with his kids.Xander cleared his throat as they were alone now. Ariadne returned her gaze to him."Daddy, let's have dinner together." Autumn blurted out, drawing their attention. She grabbed his hand. "Dinner?" he asked hesitantly and looked at Ariadne. "Yes. Let's have dinner together. Mommy has prepared our favorite dishes toda
Hate You as much as I Love You 74. A Game
"Boss?" Jose's voice snapped Xander out of his reverie. He lifted his head and looked at the two men at the door to his bedroom. They walked in. "They're leaving, Boss. Aren't you going to stop them?" Jose asked, concerned. "No." Xander replied defeatedly, shaking his head. His gaze was fixed on the floor. He had no idea how long he had sat there like that. "What happened?" Toby asked. Xander looked tired. "I've destroyed everything... Everything." he exhaled. Jose and Toby exchanged confused glances. Silence fell. After a while, he abruptly stood up and headed towards the exit. They followed him downstairs. However, instead of going to Crystal's room he went towards the exit. He turned abruptly. "Give me the car keys." He ordered Jose. "Why? I can drive for you. Where're we going?" "Not we. Just me. Give me the keys right now." Xander's voice was serious. Toby gestured for Jose to do as he was told. A team of guards always followed Xander from a distance to ensure his
Hate You as much as I Love You 73. Because of You
Xander appeared calm, but anyone could see the termoil behind his composed demeanor. Crystal lowered her face and looked at her nails. "I was playing with Autumn. Everything was fine." she began to explain in a low voice. "She has exams tomorrow, and you were playing with her!" Xander frowned. She immediately lifted her head to face him. "No... We played for a while, then I told her to go study, but she didn't listen." her voice was louder than before. She sighed and looked away before proceeding. "She wanted to see the file that contained the project documents. I denied because she could tear them." she lowered her voice again. "But she tried to snatch the file from my hands. We were on the steps. She accidentally pushed me during the process, and I lost my balance and fell down the stairs." she paused and looked at him. Xander listened to her quietly, staring at the far wall. "It was an accident. She didn't do it on purpose, I guess. Then she began to cry out of fear. T
Hate You as much as I Love You 72. What Happened
"Where have you been these days?" Ariadne asked. "I was out of town." Mark replied. They were sitting on the couch in Alex's hospital room. Alex sat between them, examining the toy car Mark had brought for him. "You're looking depressed. Is everything alright?" Ariadne looked at him with concern. "Everything is fine. It's just the workload." "Oh... I can understand." she nodded, her lips pressed together. Mark took over as CEO of the Steele Group recently. It was difficult for him to deal with everything. She felt sorry for him. "So, with whom are you attending Jennifer's engagement party?" he asked, changing the subject. "Oh.. I forgot you have your whole family." he added, shaking his head and smiling. "I'm going alone." "What? Why?" "Autumn and Adrian can't go because they have exams. Tiara and Mama Mary will stay with the kids. So it's only me." she explained. "Then let's go together." "Um.. that's a good idea." Ariadne's eyes widened. "Which party? I
Hate You as much as I Love You 71. A Boss
The maids finished serving, and everyone started eating. There was an awkward silence. Autumn and Adrian ate their food, lowering their heads, not interested in conversing with anyone. Xander watched them silently while eating his meal. "How are you, Margaret? It has been a long time." Mary asked, breaking the silence. "I'm fine, Mary. I've heard you're now the president of Autumn Collection." Margaret replied, looking at her. "Yes. You have heard it correctly." Everyone looked at them as they talked. "Do you know each other?" Crystal asked, surprised. Xander, too, appeared curious. "We were classmates in school." Mary replied. "Wow. I didn't know that." Crystal replied. "You don't know a lot of things." Mary shot her a sharp look. "Do you remember me?" Margaret asked as she looked at the kids, interrupting the conversation. Her expression suggested that she disliked the fact that she knew Mary and she didn't want the subject to continue. The kids looked at eac
Hate You as much as I Love You 70. Suspicion
"Go on. I'm listening." Tiara said lazily. Crystal shifted in her seat and looked at her nails. "I don't know what your relationship is with Aria. You aren't her friend. How did you become a member of her family? I'm curious." She raised a brow at Tiara. "I think that story is useless to you." Tiara replied in a boring tone. Crystal nodded. "Anyway... I like how you always protect her and her kids." she paused for a moment while Tiara stared at her intently. "I'm sure you're with her for your own benefit... after all she owns the Autumn Collection." "What do you want to say?" Tiara said, irritated. She wanted her to get to the main point. "I'm saying you're a lawyer and you will always see a profit. So why don't you switch to someone who can provide you with more benefits than Aria?" Crystal said, leaning into the desk. "Are you referring to yourself?" Tiara asked. "Of course." Crystal leaned back in her seat again. "I'm the CEO of Miller Group. I'm now engage
Hate You as much as I Love You 69. A Cheap Hotel
Ariadne didn't look at Xander as she entered the car that was waiting at the entrance. She felt ashamed of herself for thinking that ring was cheap. The ring held historical significance. As a jewelry designer, she was able to easily identify the quality of a piece. She was curious if he still had the ring. However, she chose not to talk about it as it was pointless at this time. Thinking about past mistakes would only bring pain. She brushed the subject off her mind. They both sat silently as the car drove away. "Where are we going?" she asked when she saw the car taking a different route. "To the hotel." Xander replied casually, looking outside. "Hotel? Why? Shouldn't we return to your jet?" Ariadne frowned. "We will visit their factory tomorrow. You will complete your first contract." "But.." "When you find a good partner, don't wait to finalize the deal. They will trust you if you demonstrate a willingness to collaborate with them." he said, cutting her off as he looke

"Mr. Hart can you handle things here for a few days?" Ariadne asked, as Mr. Hart entered her office. "I'm going out of town for a few days." she added. "O.. yes... don't worry.. I'll handle everything here." he said, placing a file in front of her. "Thank you." she smiled. "Let me know if you need anything." "Sure." Ariadne signed the documents and handed them back to Mr. Hart. "See you in a few days." she said. Mr. Hart nodded before leaving the office. Ariadne grabbed her belongings and left as well. ..... "How far is it?" Ariadne asked, irritated. "It will take another hour." Xander replied from his seat in the distance, where he was reading some documents. Ariadne sighed and gazed out the window. They had been sitting in Xander's private jet for the past five hours. It was a six-hour journey. What irritated her the most was having to sit with him. Even though she sat away from him, she was still uncomfortable. Xander suggested her to take a nap in the jet's pri
Hate You as much as I Love You 67. Dinner Together
Xander was in a good mood after Alex addressed him as 'Daddy'. He put on a mask and followed them inside the restaurant. As they passed through, Autumn kept looking back at him. When Xander raised his brow at her, she looked away. They entered a private cabin. Xander looked around. It wasn't as cozy as the five-star restaurants, but it was still nice. Everyone took their seats. Tiara sat between the two kids, with Mary next to Adrian and Jose beside Autumn. Xander sat next to Jose. Autumn tugged on Jose's hand, causing him to look at her. "Why is he wearing a mask?" she asked. It was loud enough for everyone to hear. Jose looked back at his boss before smiling at her. "So that no one can recognize him." he replied. "Why? Are the police looking for him?" Tiara burst out laughing while Jose pressed his lips together to hold it in. Xander stiffened, embarrassed. His daughter thought he was a criminal. He removed his mask, without saying anything. "No. Your dad is the most fam
