All Chapters of In Love with Mr. Ruthless: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Nathaniel glanced at his phone screen and waited for a few minutes. Without a word, he turned and hurried out of Olivia’s room, his footsteps urgent as he pressed the phone to his ear.Olivia didn’t bother to ask who it was. She didn't need to. Whether it was Kate, the arrogant woman telling everyone around about her fake pregnancy, or some other shadow from Nathaniel’s past, she didn’t care, and she did not want to know.The damage was done. Her heart has become emotionally unstable. What mattered now was her sanity and peace of mind. She needs to be totally free if she still wants her sanity intact.The thought of staying another day under the same roof as Nathaniel became her worst nightmare.Each day with him felt like a hell, unavoidable pain. A one-and-a-half-year relationship had become what felt like a decade of emotional bruises and bitterness.Olivia lay on her back, her arms at her sides limp, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. She longed to rewrite the white ceiling, which appe

Nathaniel is shocked to silence at Olivia’s outburst as he wonders what she meant by a lunatic father. His expression changes from rage to cold menace. Instead of exploding, he becomes eerily calm, which makes the moment even scarier for Olivia.He gave her a piercing stare, his voice, low and sharp, cut through the silence.“What did you just say?”Olivia, having seen his dangerous look, stepped back abit. She regretted saying such a thing even though she hadn’t meant to say it—not like that. But the pain had pushed her out of control. Still, her lips were sealed, trembling, unwilling to repeat the terrible statement she made to Nathaniel.Fear gripped her as she beheld the rage on Nathaniel’s eyes. She knew the truth could destroy everything, he must never know about the pills she’d secretly taken.She tried to put on a brave face, even though she was scared inside, “If you have been more loving,” she said softly, “if you’d ever touched me with gentleness instead of resentment,

Olivia is inwardly thrilled when Nathaniel sits beside her and says, “Let’s start over. I want us to be a real family.”She was shocked at first; she looked at Nathaniel straight in the eye to see if truly those words came directly from him.“Nathaniel, are you kidding me right now, or do you just want to play with my emotions? Because right now I'm not ready for further heartbreak.”“Baby, I meant every word I said, and I’m not going to take any of it back. I want a real family with you from now and I promise to be a better husband to you and a loving father to our unborn child.” He planted a soft kiss on her lips.The soft kiss sent a chill down her spine, and she even wanted more. The joy she felt inwardly could not be quantified. To her, the sudden change of everything seemed surreal. She felt her heart swell with hope, thinking maybe last night meant something.“Give me a few minutes; I will be right back.”Nathaniel went to his bedroom and came back with a brown envelope. He ope

Kelvin had thought Nathaniel found out about the divorce, and Olivia backed off because Nathaniel must have threatened her.Kelvin had hoped to help Olivia escape Nathaniel’s hold, but his heart sank when he unexpectedly received a text from her saying she could no longer go through with the divorce.“You threatened her because she wanted to divorce you. Olivia deserves so much more than a pathetic woman abuser like you. You’re nothing but a disgrace, and I’ll make damn sure she escapes your toxic grip for good.” Kelvin said angrily, his eyes burning with anger.Nathaniel replied coldly, “Divorce?" He was shocked to find out that Olivia was planning to divorce him, and that made him more furious. But he quickly masks it, saying, "I didn’t realise Olivia’s little errand boy had such a mouth.”Kelvin smirked, “She is not meant for your type, Nathaniel. Do you know who you really deserve? You deserve a crazy being like you. She gave you her heart, but you shattered it. She told me she r

The strange ceiling above him was the first thing Nathaniel saw. His eyes opened and closed, attempting to adjust to the soft morning light. He lay motionless, attempting to understand his surroundings. His eyes darted from one thing to the other in the room, examining the mirror, wardrobe door, ceiling, and makeup on the dresser. It was all unfamiliar. He sat up slowly, the sheets falling away from his bare chest. His shirt was lying on the floor, partially stained in what looked like alcohol. His eyes widened, lips parted in shock. Still trying to get a glimpse of what was really happening. Where the hell am I? How do I get here?The last memory he could grasp was clinking glasses with a stranger in a bar. Before he could piece together another thought, the bathroom door clicked open. Steam rolled into the room, followed by the sharp scent of citrus soap. Then came Kate, wrapped in a towel, her red lipstick fresh, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.“Good morning, my love.” Her
