All Chapters of Hate to love you: The star's forbidden obsession: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

ZAYDENThe moment I walked out of the building, I noticed a familiar silhouette dressed in a white mini skirt, silver high-heeled boots, and an off-shoulder top.Her well-manicured fingers were tapping against the phone she was gripping in her left hand.One look at her, and I already knew who it was.“Zoe.”She turned around.Her wavy black hair was styled to perfection, framing a face that could easily command attention in a crowded room. Her eyes shone like the most perfect sapphires, threaded with delicate veins of silver.With such striking, enchanting eyes, it's impossible for her to stay low profile anywhere.She smiled softly, and her eyes seemed to shine, like silver light trapped beneath dark blue crystals.“Zayden, you're here.”I quickly hastened my steps towards her.Just as I stretched forth my arm to hug her, I remembered I hadn't taken a bath after all that exercise.My steps faltered.Secondly, I brutally rejected her last time in the car. I truly didn't deserve her

ZAYDENZoe stared back at me in slight surprise.After a while, she shook her head. “You really didn't know?”“What on earth am I supposed to know?”Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Let me guess, you didn't check my messages.”Guilt flickered across my face.Indeed, I had been about to listen to her voice notes when Leslie came in.So I simply locked my phone and forgot about it. How would I have known that the long string of messages she sent was something important?Her expression darkened, and she leaned back. “Why am I not surprised? I'm always at the very bottom of your priority list.”My mouth dropped open, and I reached for her hand. “Zoe, it's really not like that.”She didn't turn to look at me.Something else must have made her unhappy; admitting I didn't check her messages had merely triggered it.“The day my phone was returned, I was about to check it after calling Kael when the doctor came in. I had to drop it.”I stole a glance at her, treading with caution.She was still u

RONANExhaustion was carved into my bones. If I had my way, I would ditch classes today. But somehow, I still found myself driving to UCLA before I knew it.With the collegiate League tournament approaching, I needed to up my game and polish my skills.I couldn't let UCLA fall behind or perform worse than usual just because Zayden had a little situation with his arm.I had to make sure our performance remained kept getting better everyday. Our team couldn't afford to give anyone a reason for suspicion or invite unnecessary speculation.Although I was pretty sure we could make it to the professional leagues on reputation alone, I still needed to keep up appearances. The last thing we needed was for our ranking to drop.My footsteps echoed loudly in the hallway despite my efforts to be quiet.There was no one in the hockey building. Except for the cleaner I passed as I walked in.It was already half past eight in the morning. Most people would be in class, attending lectures or dealing

WESTWOOD HIGHZAYDENThe other boy's lip twitched. He was a beta male.After a moment, he finally looked up at me.“Kael hasn't been in school for almost two weeks now. He normally doesn't come to school often. Just dropping by occasionally.”I staggered half a step backward.The hallway seemed to tilt beneath my feet.My ears rang, drowning out the faint chatter around us, and for several seconds, I could only stare at him.Almost two weeks?He hadn't been coming to school for almost two weeks?Then why hadn't I seen him at home either?My brain seemed to reject the words even as they echoed inside my head.“Why? Do you know what happened? Why are people muttering something about a mad man downstairs?”The two boys exchanged a glance. Neither answered.Their heads lowered, their shoulders shrinking beneath the weight of my question.“Just tell me!” My voice came out harsher than I'd intended.Both boys jumped. I immediately regretted it.“I'm so sorry.” I whispered almost immediately

RONANI turned to Wyatt.“Check who Liora has been meeting in recent times? Check if any suspicious money came into her bank account or inexplicable favors.”“Yes, young master.”Before I could say anything else, the door to the basement lounge opened.Two guards dressed in black suits dragged a struggling blonde inside.Hank followed closely behind them.Her sickening perfume reached me before she did. My nose wrinkled instinctively, nerves recoiling in distaste.The two men dumped the bitch before me.She stumbled forward, catching herself with her hands before glaring up at me.I truly didn't want to see her again.The last time I'd met her privately was at Hilton Hotels, where I'd called her in after handling my father's newest toy.The memory of her over-eagerness made my stomach recoil. Acid crawled up the back of my throat, and I swallowed it down with a grimace.Eww! How did Zayden even get entangled with her in the first place?Was there ever a time when she was genuine? Or h
