Everyone looked at Xander, who stood there glaring at Tom as he collapsed on the floor.

No one noticed when he rose from his seat and walked around the table to Ariadne's side. Stunned, Ariadne abruptly jumped out of her chair, but she stumbled and fell backwards. Jose arrived instantly and stopped her from falling. She stood up with his help and steadied herself. By then, Xander had grabbed Tom's collar and yanked him to his feet.

"She said she's not interested. What part of it did you not understand?" Xander shouted and punched him hard in the face.

He was furious beyond control. Ariadne covered her mouth with her hand as she scurried to the corner, her gaze fixed on Xander, her body trembling. Jose stood close to her, on guard.

Everyone stood up from their seats, and silence fell as all eyes were on Xander and Tom.

"Xander?" Crystal rushed to him. "What are you doing? leave him." she grabbed his hand, which was still holding Tom's collar, and attempted to release it, but

I don't know if feedback is welcome or not, but if Xander is the ML (and I truly hope he isn't), he should be a touch more interesting. His character is trope heavy and insanely boring. Does he do anything other than be an asshole and blank stare his way through the story?

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    Author's Note

    Hello, my lovely readers, Thank you for giving this story a chance, and even more, for patiently waiting for the updates as I am not regular with my updates. No matter how many times I apologize for it, I know it’s not enough. "Hate You as Much as I Love You" wasn’t my first idea when I decided to write a story. It was actually a werewolf romance that I first began to write as a writer. Then I decided to enter a contest and put it on hold. I chose the second chance theme for my very first novel. The plot came to me almost instantly. At first, I had planned for the book to be around 80 chapters, but as you can see, it eventually grew into 106 chapters. The journey has been beautiful, and the response I received from you, my readers, was beyond anything I had ever anticipated. It’s your love and support that motivated me to keep writing. I truly hope you will enjoy my future stories as well. Thank you once again for all of your love. ❤️❤️❤️ **About me** Writing is my newest

    Three years later.... "I can't see Oindrila." Autumn said, looking around the field. "Neither can I." Alex said. "Isabella!" Adrian yelled, drawing everyone's attention. They followed his line of sight and saw a beautiful red-haired little girl at a distance. She looked at them, and her eyes widened. Adrian ran to the girl with a smile and held her hand. "Adi..." the girl smiled at him. "How are you? I've come to meet you." Adrian said excitedly. "I'm good. I thought you have forgotten me." she said, hesitantly. "I'll never forget you, Bella. I missed you." His words brought a big smile to her face. "I missed you too. How are you?" "Perfectly fine." Adrian said. They were interrupted as the family approached them. Isabella’s face lit up when she saw them. "Hey, Alex, Autumn!" she greeted warmly. The children rushed into her arms, hugging her tightly. "Hello, Aunt Aria and Aunt Tiara." Isabella greeted them as well. "Hey, dear. How are you?" Ariadne as

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    Epilogue

    "You're looking beautiful." Mary said warmly. Ariadne gazed into the mirror. The reflection staring back at her in the white wedding gown truly did look beautiful. Tiara and Mary stood proudly on either side of her. "You look like a queen, Mommy!" Autumn exclaimed from behind, her eyes sparkling. "And you are my little princess." Ariadne replied with a smile. Autumn twirled happily in her gown, a smaller version of her mother’s, made to match. There was a knock on the door, and Aaron entered. He smiled warmly as he looked at her. "You look beautiful." he said, approaching and kissing her forehead. Ariadne hugged him, and they both became emotional. "It's time." he announced, releasing the hug. Ariadne nodded, feeling nervous. She looked at Mary and Tiara. Mary moved forward and placed her hands on her shoulders. "You're doing the right thing. You two will be happy together. You already are. You're already a family." she reassured her, reading her thoughts. A

    Eight months later.... "We're behaving like teenagers." Ariadne giggled as they walked hand in hand. "Well, we acted grumpy in our teenage years, so it's only fair we behave like teenagers now, isn't it?" Xander stated. Ariadne laughed. They came to the gazebo. "Wow.... it's beautiful." Ariadne exclaimed in awe. "Stay here. I'll come back in a while with drinks, okay?" She nodded. Xander kissed her forehead before going back into the resort. Ariadne looked around the gazebo. It was beautifully decorated. Today was Jennifer's wedding ceremony, and they all had come to celebrate it together. After the ceremony, everyone spread out in the crowd to enjoy the party, while Xander took her here. The entire garden was decorated, but there was no one present. All were enjoying the drinks, food, and the entertaining programs running inside the resort. They were dancing too. But, typical of Xander, who didn't like noise, he escaped the crowd with her. She enjoyed the peace while

    When Ariadne came out of the closet, changing into a nightgown, she saw Xander pacing in the room while talking to someone on the phone. "Shit." he cursed as he hung up the phone. "What happened?" she asked, worried. Xander sat on the couch with a sigh of frustration. "Zidane escaped while he was being taken to the police headquarters." "What? How?" Ariadne was shocked. She approached him and stood in front of him. "His men came and attacked the car, and they fled away." he replied, looking at her. "Oh my god. We have to inform Gloria." She became terrified as she realized the gravity of the situation. "Yes. Jose will do that." He extended his hand to her. She took his hand, and he pulled her onto his lap, hugging her. "We need to be extra careful. He can't come out of this clean. That means he will choose violence and revenge." Ariadne nodded. "He has already tried to harm us a few times." "I should have dealt with him on my own. Those officers are

    "There will be media. Are you nervous?" Xander asked softly, looking at her face. Ariadne nodded. He tangled his fingers with hers. "I'm here with you." He flashed her a warm smile. Ariadne stared at his face, smiling. One week had passed since their passionate night. The next morning, they went to the old mansion hand in hand, and everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that just one date would bring them close, eliminating all the differences. They were over the moon when they found out they had agreed to give their relationship a second chance. William was the happiest among them. Ariadne moved in with Xander and started living with him in his room. She wanted to take some time before they could think about marriage. Xander gave her full freedom to do whatever she wanted. His only focus was to cherish her and show her how much he loved her. He was very caring and responsible towards her. Their lives had changed completely, and both were happy with each other. The car
