All Chapters of Hate to love you: The star's forbidden obsession: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

For an entire minute, no one spoke. Kael suddenly erupted. “What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already here. What do you need him for?” The man merely arched an eyebrow, completely relaxed. “Boss’s orders. Besides, he has his own use.” A low chuckle bubbled in my throat. “His own use, huh?” My gaze turned several degrees colder as I studied him where he sat, smug and anticipatory, as though he already knew how this would end. “It seems you don't know me well enough even after all those investigations.” My lips curled slightly. “I will rather die than sign a contract with shady people like your group.” He smiled and nodded, like an adult indulging a delusional, babbling child. “Alright, pay the money and you can leave.” My jaw tightened. My fingers curled slowly into fists at my sides. I glanced at Kael. He looked equally furious, but he was suppressing it. I'd never seen that expression on his face before. Not even when he'd been pushed to his limits. The red-haired gir

ZAYDENTen minutes later, I walked out with my brother in my grasp, and a copy of the signed agreement in my pocket.It took ten minutes to get him to sign, complete the necessary payment, and handle the paperwork which I insisted was necessary.But genuinely, it felt like forever.Every second had dragged.Every pause had felt like another opportunity for them to change their minds.The warehouse was behind me now.I looked back once.Some of the boys were glaring daggers at me, their eyes following us with enough hatred to make the back of my neck prickle.As if they wanted to chew me up.Others looked unconcerned, as if they were simply there to do an unpleasant duty and didn't care how things turned out.“Don't think this is over.” I heard one mutter under his breath.Oh, I won't.That was the mistake I made the first time.Assuming everything was settled after I paid some money.Even with the agreement signed, I still felt uneasy.I had to stay vigilant and ready for when they ca

ZAYDENMy heart jumped, skipping several beats.No. Please, don't do this here.I took a deep breath, remembering what Kael said.I can't let them smell fear or panic.I stylishly slipped my arm around Kael's waist and continued towards the cabs.There were two yellow cabs.My eyes moved between them.One had a portly middle-aged man sitting there, eating Turkey wings. The other cab was empty.My first instinct was to head to the one with a ready driver.My brother was slipping away. Every second was precious.Still, if I entered a cab affiliated with criminals intending to kidnap or rob, I wouldn't be able to get him to a hospital in time.I quickly brought out my phone and checked the Google Map. No good hospital nearby.Moreover, I didn't feel safe here.The map showed several roads branching away from the main route, some disappearing into less populated areas. I studied them for a few seconds, memorizing the turns as best as I could.It only took me a minute to make a decision.W

ZAYDENBy the time I came out of the bathroom, he was already done eating.I watched him lean back against the bedpost, gulping down water from the can. A soft smile crossed my face before I could stop it.He turned to me, and I quickly straightened out my expression, wiping the smile clean before he could catch me staring.“Have the rest, I'm stuffed.”I pulled out a chair from beside the drawer and carried the small breakfast table set over his lap on the bed.The table was small, made for serving patients food in bed. There was no other table in sight, so I balanced it carefully on the chair and sat beside him on the bed.The food was still warm.The soup was almost gone, I felt relieved. His appetite was back. He would be alright in no time.“Won't you change the spoon?” He asked beside me as I took a sip from the soup.I glanced back at him. “You're my brother. Do I need to?”Kael snorted. “We're both adults. Learn to protect yourself.”“From what?” I chuckled, tearing into the r

RONANI had been busy all day. By the time I finally had a moment to sit down, it was already five in the evening.After leaving Devereaux Holdings, I had spent a greater part of the day teaching Liora that bitch a lesson.Zayden didn't know it yet, but I had made her record videos admitting that she had deliberately lied to hurt him. That way, even if another problem cropped up, people would easily believe it was another conspiracy against him.With the evidence I held regarding his father's corruption, she wouldn't dare make a peep. She wasn't clean either. A family of snakes.I had been surprised when I realized Zayden had sent me a message, only to recall it afterwards.I had been confused at first but soon figured it out.Zayden definitely had me in his heart. But perhaps, he was hesitating.It was left to me to create opportunities for us to meet. Just as well. I had things to give him.Zayden should arrive in ten minutes. That was more than enough time to wash up.The room was
