All Chapters of Divorced To Steal His Heart : Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

I left for the hospital in the morning, keeping in mind to search for a new place immediately. I won’t go back to my apartment tonight. Not anymore. I’ve already made an arrangement with Bonnie, who said I could stay with her before I found a new apartment. I couldn’t let what happened last night affect me. Despite not having a clue about who might have sent that strange man, I didn’t mull over those thoughts. As I arranged some files on my office desk, Alisha came inside with a gloomy expression on her face. “It’s so boring now that Dr. Ethan has stopped coming.” She sighed. “What’s up with him, Dr. Olivia? Why did he have to disappear on us without putting up a fight against those bullies?”I shook my head, sighing as well.Ethan’s trophies and most of his valuable things are in my apartment. I should package them and keep them in a safe place before moving out. “A lot of us miss him, Dr. Olivia…” Alisha continued. “Even though we don’t get along that much, I want to know how he

Her hug was too tight for someone who’s simply apologizing. I’m a kindhearted person, but I’m not stupid. Jessica’s apology is fake. Someone who has hated me so passionately for many years and tried many times to ruin my reputation won’t simply wake up one day and start regretting. She’s not someone I can trust. My eyes met with Theo’s, and I smirked.Does he really believe that Jessica has changed? Or was he the one who asked Jessica to apologize?Either way, his effort is useless.I pushed Jessica away before her tight hug could crush me. Folding my hands, I snickered, “This meeting isn’t necessary. You’re wasting your energy.”“What do you mean?” Maya shifted, looking confused. I should be careful not to say anything that can hurt her because of her health. But Maya is already recovering, and I won’t let myself be used by Theo. “I don’t need Tania to like me. I also don’t want an apology from Jessica because we’ll never be friends,” I replied. “Maya, I’m only here to check on y

…Olivia’s POV.Sitting on Bonnie’s bed, I leaned against the headboard, my eyes fixed on the several text messages on my phone’s screen. [I’m sorry. That meeting wasn’t a set-up, Olivia. I was thinking you guys might like to put aside your differences and stop fighting.][Stop ignoring my calls. I have something important to tell you.][If you keep on avoiding me, how is the mission going to progress? There are only a few days left for Grandpa to send Dave abroad. Is that what you want?][I’m getting discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Will you at least come and escort me home? Grandpa will be there.]It’s not like I’m completely ignoring him. Part of the reason why I couldn’t see Theo is because of the recent attacks. Just the day before yesterday, my car almost got crushed by a truck that appeared suddenly from the bush.It’s as if someone is watching me in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. These days, I’m afraid to go out.“Urgh! What’s keeping you awake,

Three months…Three months!?My happiness was short-lived after hearing Dave’s statement. As much as I tried to hide my shock, I couldn't.Three months feels too short and, at the same time, it feels too long.If Theo doesn't manage to win Dave over after three months, he’s going abroad. At the same time, I’ll have to keep pretending with Theo for three months.Things are becoming more complicated just when I’m beginning to think that it's over.“Hmmm, you have a good point, Son,” Grandpa agreed. “I don’t trust Theo not to break your mother’s heart again. Let’s see if he means it. I appreciate your sacrifice even though I’m sad about your decision.”“Don't worry, Great-grandpa. If in case I don’t travel abroad in the future, I’ll still study hard to become someone you'll be proud of.”“I doubt if I’ll live up to that time…” Grandpa chuckled. “The most important thing is that you become excellent and well-groomed to manage the family’s empire in the future. Well, I’d better get going.

Stunned for a moment, my heart began racing. Those memories started consuming me again, and as if I’d lost control of my body, I couldn't move. “You!” He finally pulled away before I could pull myself together. For someone who’s injured, he surely moved fast.The kiss didn't last long, but its impact was enough to send my body shaking inside. This is strange… For a moment there after he pulled away, I almost felt disappointed. No!I snapped out of it, yet I found myself lost in the dark pool of his eyes. Silence.For several seconds, his hand remained on my waist, his gaze deeply fixed on mine. The spark was obvious, and my heartbeat and thoughts were in chaos.This… This isn't happening. This is the second time I’ve melted in his touch, or is it the third?Funny how I can't even get mad at him because right now I’m more angry with myself.“Stop denying it… I know you want this, Olivia.”His whispers sent shudders across my skin. I shook my head.That's impossible. There's no wa
