All Chapters of The Art of Hating You: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Just then Senior Officer Ronald Green entered the station, his presence commanding attention. Seeing the bikers and Sara and Austin, he looked confused and asked Officer Jaroff, "What's going on here?"Ronald stared stone-faced as Officer Jaroff gave him the rundown on the situation. Walking up to Austin he looked Sara over head to toe and then focused on Austin. Austin did not wince, and held steady eyes with the officer.“How did you beat them alone?” said Officer Green."I was a pretty tough stud in college. I understand how to protect myself and the ones I care about.” Austin replied.The eyes of Officer Green slits. “Your wife… right?” his tone skeptical.Austin said, "Yeah they were harassing my wife so I fuckin beat the shit out of them.”Officer Green's eyes lit up with disbelief. He laughed a dry, bone-chilling laugh. "You think you are above the law? What are we even here for if people decide to start punishing themselves? What's your name?”Austin answering, “Austin Reed.”

After finishing in the shower, Sara picked a towel and walked towards the hallway. Fascinated, she looked at the scenery that was in front of her. On top of the bed were many lovely evening gowns and everyone seemed more beautiful than the previous. Heels and accessories that matched were placed near the furniture which enhanced the beauty.But there was no sign of Austin. She felt relieved and a silent breath escaped her lips. She just couldn’t be with him for a while after what had happened between them.While looking over the lovely gowns, she started going through various ideas in her soul. How had telling the lie caused all this to happen? She decided that she would focus on working with Ryder and not be a part of Austin’s business anymore. Now, however, she was involved in this fake story about her relationship. She couldn't blame Austin or anyone but herself.Sara looked over all the dresses and started deciding which gown she wanted. She didn’t want everyone to notice her, but

A big smile appeared on Sara’s face as she embraced Maddy and said. “I am so happy for you, Maddy! You are entitled to all the joy and happiness this world can give you," Sara said with a truly happy voice.Maddy looked so happy and as she hugged Sara she couldn’t help but cry with joy a little. When they pulled away, Sara asked, her curiosity getting the better of her, "So, who is the guy? You never mentioned you were in a relationship."Her smile also broadened and she replied, "I've had a crush on him since the day I joined the office." Sara looked thoughtful, her eyes narrowed by all the possibilities going through her head. "Who?" the words came out of her mouth in a quiet murmur.Maddy hesitated and then said, “Christopher.” Sara’s face changed and her smile left her as she considered what she had been told. The Christopher that had proposed to Maddy was someone Sara had... feelings for. It was his friendly attitude and personality that had led her to him and she liked him much

Austin moved gently as he put Sara on the bed and covered her with a blanket. While staring at her calm expression, he was lost in his own thoughts. He found himself turning his attention to Nova all the time.The woman who had captured his heart and then broken it. Austin's gaze drifted away, Austin seemed to be somewhere else as old memories took over his mind. He realized that Nova had changed his life in many ways.A feeling of tiredness made Austin pat his desk and walk away from the bed, noticing his desk was usually the place he spent late evenings. The space was dim and the only thing he could hear was his computer running quietly. He sat down, running each of his fingers over the familiar wood of his desk and then opened the drawer.He discovered some old pictures inside that reminded him of times spent at college. Austin touched each of the photographs before taking a few out and focusing on one of Nova. Her joyful smile showed bright and confident eyes. A large mix of feeli

Sara found herself waking up with a terrible headache making her feel dizzy. She closed her eyes, groaning and waited until the room stopped spinning. It took her a short while to open her eyes and gradually her sight became clearer. After a moment, the room appeared clearly and she could tell that she was alone.She said to herself, "That feeling was odd in my dream." I had a kiss with Austin Reed.” She moved her head, hoping to get the fog out of her mind. The idea of kissing Austin struck her as hilarious and she couldn’t imagine that her mind had dreamt it up.She pulled off the covers and got out of bed, feeling her legs were not steady. As she walked to the bathroom, she turned on the light switch. The room was very bright, but she didn’t want to miss her chance to see herself.When she looked at herself in the mirror, she discovered that she was still wearing the dress from the previous night’s party. At that point, she only had a few memories of what took place after she had h
