Chapter 35: Olive's POV

The call came twenty minutes after I left Grayson's office.

I was still standing on the sidewalk like an idiot, people rushing past me with their coffee cups and briefcases, living their normal lives while mine was actively imploding. My phone buzzed in my hand and I almost didn't answer when I saw the name.

Ryan Mitchell.

Of course. Because today wasn't already a dumpster fire.

"What," I said flatly.

"Well, hello to you too, sunshine." His voice was that same obnoxious tone I remembered from college. Too confident, too casual, like he'd never heard the word 'no' in his life. "Miss me?"

"What do you want, Ryan?"

"To meet. Tonight. There's a café on Pine Street, you know the one—"

"The bet's over," I cut him off. "Zane kissed me. In front of everyone. You lost. So unless you're calling to congratulate me, I'm hanging up."

"Exactly." He paused, and I could hear the smirk in his voice. "Don't you want to get paid?"

I froze.

"What?"

"The bet, Olive. A hundred thous

  • His Dangerous Love On Ice   Chapter 44: Olive's POV

    Chapter 44: Olive's POVHow do you describe the look on someone's face when their entire world is about to collapse?Because that's what I saw on Walter's face the second Zane's car pulled into the driveway."God. Fuck. He's here." My father's voice cracked, and suddenly he was clawing at the bandage on his knee, trying to rip it off."What are you doing?" Annie grabbed his hands. "Walter, stop! You're going to hurt yourself—""I need to appear strong," he muttered, still fighting her grip. "Can't let him see me like this."I stared at them, my brain trying to process what I was watching. For the past twenty minutes since I'd called Zane, Walter had been stress-baking—his go-to whenever something was seriously wrong. The kitchen smelled like vanilla and impending disaster."That's not appearing strong," I said, already moving toward the door. "That's appearing insane. And he's here.""Don't you dare open that door," Walter hissed behind me."Too late."I pulled the door open.Zane Mer

    Chapter 43: Olive's POVHe walked toward me, and I could see it—all the parts of me that came from him. The green eyes. The sharp jawline. The nose I'd always hated. Looking at him was like looking in a mirror that showed me everything I'd tried to distance myself from."I was in Chicago last week," I said flatly.Getting my life destroyed, but sure."Oh, Chicago. Right." His grin widened. "Where you caused quite the scene."I could see it in his face—that insufferable smugness that made me want to scream."I'm so fucking proud of you," he continued. "You actually landed Zane Mercer. Didn't think you had it in you, honestly. Though I'm glad you finally came to your senses and left that piece of shit Cole. I was planning to kill him myself if you hadn't broken up. Maybe that would've snapped you out of whatever spell he had you under."I wasn't shocked. Nothing my father said ever shocked me anymore. Walter Monroe had always existed in this gray area between legitimate businessman and

    Chapter 42: Olive's POV"What?"I was still standing in the hallway, phone pressed to my ear, the world tilting sideways."You need to come here, Olive." Annie's voice was tight, urgent. "He really needs to see you.""How bad is it?" My hands were shaking. Actually shaking."I can't really explain over the phone. Just... please come."The line went dead."What's going on?" Brenda grabbed my arm, eyes wide with concern.I stared at her, trying to hold it together, but the worry must have been written all over my face because her expression shifted from curious to alarmed."Walter had an accident. Annie said it's serious. I need to go. Now." I was already gathering my things, shoving papers into my bag. "Please, can you cover for me? Tell them I had an emergency—""Girl, go." Brenda pushed me toward the elevator. "Don't even think twice. Go see your dad."I hugged her—quick, grateful—and ran.********The house looked exactly how I remembered it.Mid-sized mansion with pristine landscap

    Chapter 41: OLIVE's POV"Stock's been climbing like crazy and I don't know, this whole board meeting thing involves us somehow."Brenda was speed-walking down the hallway, iPad bouncing against her chest, heels clicking against the polished floor. I followed behind, trying to match her pace while my brain felt like it was moving through fog."Maybe Grayson doesn't want to admit that my relationship is bringing in investors," I muttered. "And since he won't even look at me now, I'm guessing he's setting me up for something."Brenda stopped so suddenly I almost crashed into her back."Okay, yes, I get why you're stressed about the meeting." She turned to face me, eyes narrowing. "But what I don't get is why you're wearing a scarf…around your neck. It's not cold. You never wear scarves."Shit."Can't a girl catch a cold?" I tried to move past her but she grabbed my arm."Olive—""We're going to be late," I said, pulling away and practically jogging toward the conference room."Fine, but

    Chapter 40: Olive’s POV"Here." He pulled out an envelope, then dropped it. Let it flutter to the floor between us like trash. "Your invitation."Then he moved.So fast I didn't have time to process it. His hand was around my throat—not tight enough to cut off air completely, but tight enough. Cole tight. The kind of grip that said I could squeeze harder if I wanted to."And don't you fucking dare," he hissed, face inches from mine, "try to play games with me. Don't bring Zane Mercer to my party on your arm like you've won something. I want you there dressed like the pathetic nobody you are. You understand me?"My eyes started watering. Not from lack of air. From memory.This wasn't new. Cole had always been like this—hands that gripped too hard, words that cut too deep, and a temper that flared when things didn't go his way. I'd told myself it was passion. That he cared too much. That I was overreacting. That this was what love looked like when it was real and intense and all-consumi

    Chapter 39: Olive's POVZane got me the apartment in less than twenty-four hours.I still didn't know how he'd pulled it off—called in favors, threw money around, threatened someone, probably all three—but here I was. Standing in my first real apartment. My space. My name on the lease.The cleaning crew had left two hours ago and the place still smelled like soap fragrance and some fancy new carpet. I walked through the rooms again, running my fingers along the kitchen counter, the windowsill, the doorframe. Mine. All of it.My mother wasn't happy. She'd called three times today, voice tight with that particular blend of disappointment and worry only mothers could master. "Just apologize to Grayson," she kept saying. "Work this out. Come home."But I couldn't.Grayson had made it clear: break up with Zane, or don't come back. And even though this thing with Zane had an expiration date, even though I knew it wasn't real, I wouldn't let my stepfather's hatred decide my future.My phone
