All Chapters of Vows Of Hate : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11: Dante's PovMy head was pounding after spending hours going through files and approving paperwork. Everything was just noise, including the board meeting, the threats from the rival company, and the never-ending calls. I had no desire to hear anyone's voice ever again. All I wanted was peace. Quiet. Sleep and a cold glass of whiskey. All I needed was that.I kept thinking about her as I drove home. Kayla I couldn't stop thinking about the girl who asked me a question this morning.Do you really despise me that much?She asks me that, but who does she think she is? Who granted her the authority to x-question anything? This is where I live. My house. My guidelines. She is only present because she is required to be.After parking, I got out of the vehicle. My legs moved independently. Monica was in the hallway when I went inside, even though I didn't want to see anyone. "Good evening, sir," she said courteously.I have no idea why I asked her. "Where is she?" "Kayla is in

Chapter 13: Lilith's povI didn't see Dante's face for the next two days following the encounter in the garden. To be honest, I didn't feel like forcing myself to confront him, but I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. I suppose it was better this way.I spent time with Tiana during those two days. We talked about random topics and watched movies. I didn't realize I needed it, but it felt good, almost like we were going to be close friends. In an odd way, I felt like I could breathe when I was around her, and she was easy to talk to.I considered going down to paint once more on the third day. Since Dante hadn't mentioned it and I didn't know how he would respond, I wasn't sure if I should. However, Tiana asked me from her room, "Are you planning to paint today?I tried not to look uncertain as I shrugged.I'm not sure. What are your thoughts? Shall we leave?Evidently amused, she arched an eyebrow. "This is also your home. Here, we are merely visitors. You ought to go paint.

Chapter 15Kayla's PovAfter going downstairs and getting into the car, the driver turned on the car and took us to the store. It was all about the ideal clothing; the drive wasn't quiet at all. Tiana would not stop talking about how we were going to dress tonight, how we would attract everyone's attention, and how we needed to be the best.I had no idea how to contribute to the discussion. I pretended to be a part of the buzz by simply nodding when necessary and occasionally saying "Okay" and "Yes."We arrived at the store at last.A woman approached us as soon as we entered and asked, "How may we help you today?" Tiana confidently stepped forward. “We came to choose the best gowns for tonight's celebration.I hope this is the correct store for us.”The woman, whose name tag said Lilly, smiled slightly and proudly at us. "You are aware of our superiority in the community. Tiana smiled, "We'll make sure you leave looking like goddesses." "Yes, let's go forward."Yeah... let's get th

Chapter 17 Alone. Useless. Out of place.I started walking. No realdirectíon. Just away from the noise.Away from the judgment I imaginedbehind every stare.I moved to a more peaceful corner and let out a slow breath. I heard my name at that point. "Kayla?”I briefly blinked as if I were seeing a ghost. "Augustine? I muttered.His expression brightened. "Oh my God, Kayla! Why are you in this place?I laughed breathlessly. "Why am I in this place?"You look so pretty," he said, surveying me with wide eyes. To be honest, I wasn't sure it was you. I was shocked to learn about the wedding when I returned to town. Are you and Dante married?I gave a feeble nod. "Yes, I didn't plan it either. I lost everything, including your number."He came forward and gave me a strong hug after saying, "I'm so happy to see you."It was warm. Safe and familiar.It was only then that I realized how cold I had been feeling. But just as quickly, it ended."What the hell is going on here?"a voice thunder

Chapter 19: Dante's PovThe celebration was coming to an end.Individuals were departing. Some are too inebriated to walk properly. Some were acting as though they weren't exhausted.Jake texted me while I was standing close to the exit, looking through my phone: "I'm home with Tiana." In case you're trying to find me. I didn't respond.Since our earlier altercation, I hadn't seen Kayla. To be honest, I didn't give a damn.I kept telling myself that, at least.She was unable to remain motionless.constantly seeking attention. It was flirting with someone else if it wasn't giving hugs to strangers. She attracted a lot of trouble.My spouse.No, at that moment, I didn't even want to refer to her as such.Nevertheless, my thumb lingered over Jake's's name. Before I knew it, I was typing."Are you with Kayla?"No," was his prompt response. She was at the party when I left her.I took a moment to look at the screen.I asked, but why?Why did I give a damn?However, something changed in my
