Lahat ng Kabanata ng LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

Amee Wilson POVI got out of the apartment building like a mouse trying to slip past the cat’s watchful gaze.I spotted a cab cruising by and, with great urgency, flagged it down.“Taxi!”It screeched to a stop. In a flash, I opened the back passenger door and slid in. My chest heaved as adrenaline pumped through my blood.“Amee! Wait!” I looked over my shoulder and saw Zeke Alexander running after me. I sighed and motioned for the driver to go.“Don’t stop. Drive fast.” I told him sharply.I looked behind one more time and saw Zeke running toward the apartment’s underground parking, probably to fetch his car.When the distance between us lengthened, I settled in my seat.Yesterday, I agreed to let Zeke take me home to de-escalate a fight between him and my boss, Lucas. Tension had already erupted between them. Both men are clear in their hatred of each other, and I don’t want another scandal to break between us.It would be most humiliating because now we are in the workplace. That w

Josh Morgan Sterling POV“Daddy! You are here!” Zoe climbed into my lap when she found me sitting on the kitchen bar stool, sipping coffee with their mother.“You are not wearing your suit,” Leo commented when I offered to pick him up to place him on the stool on my right.“We are going somewhere,” I told them, and I saw their eyes light up with an excitement they can’t contain. They clapped their hands and shouted.Leo jumped on his seat, pumped his fist in the air, and wiggled his body in an imitation of a jiggly dance.“Really, Daddy! Are we going to the water theme park?” Ivy ran toward me, and I pulled her up. Now, she and Zoe were sitting on my lap.

Olivia Barnett POV“Hurry up! Let’s go!” Ivy excitedly dragged Josh out onto the slow river trail.He was laughing, but he let her push him around. He looked relaxed and carefree, much like the young Josh Morgan Sterling I knew. The one who coaxed me out of my shell and made me feel welcome when I first came to the Sterling mansion.“Daddy! Catch me!” Ivy called out. Then, she dived into the water, confident that her father would catch her.My heart in my throat, I quickly ran to chase her, but she was faster than me. Her little legs carried her toward her father.She did not even hesitate.My breath caught in my throat when she was suspended in the a

Olivia Barnett POVI wanted to leave. I wanted to get away from this messy life. This was my decision five years ago. I chose peace rather than to fight for my rights. Grandpa Jonathan kept urging me to protect my place as Josh’s partner, but I was a coward back then.I chose the easy way rather than stick it out, confront Josh, and fight for my place as his woman.Not anymore.Three little people needed me to defend them from this life’s vultures.Besides, I saw it in Josh’s eyes. Our leaving would break him. He loves the children. I was sure about that. He did not want them to go.And so, I chose between staying and leaving.“Promise me you will always choose us. That you will protect the children no matter what.” I told him sternly.My eyes narrowed, wanting to impress upon him that I was serious right now. I never demanded anything as his wife, just that he would never abandon us in the fight.“They are my children, Olivia. I will never sell them out.” He looked hurt, but his fee

Olivia Barnett POVAt the foot of the mountain slope where the Mahogany Villa is located, several expensive-looking vehicles stopped at the gate, one by one, with exact precision, as if their arrivals were timed.“They are here.” Josh Morgan Sterling’s face hardened when he looked at the neatly lined cars. It’s possible he knew who they belonged to.Then, the passengers of the expensive cars stepped out of the vehicles, and boarded the golf carts that would bring them to the innermost parts of the villa. “Wow! So many cars! I love the Rolls-Royce Spectre!” Leo announced amidst our preoccupation.I was startled and he clamped a hand to his mouth when he noticed.
