Loved Hard, Hated Harder novel

---- Chapter 16 And just like that, Bianca launched into an all-out pursuit of Julian. It seemed as if she thought they were dating again. She sent him flowers, desserts, and delicate gifts every single day. She also spent a fortune to buy the apartment directly across from Julian's, just so she could be closer to him. Every morning, she would dress up and wait downstairs with a fresh bouquet of roses in her arms. "Morning, Jules! You look even more handsome today. " "Heading to work?

I'll drive you!" "I bought you breakfast, Jules. Your favorite pancakes! " In the evenings, she was always seen outside his office, holding more roses, waiting to catch him after work. "Just got off work? Let me treat you to dinner." "No? That's okay, too. I can drive you home. We live in the same apartment building anyway." "These roses are for you. Just keep them, won't you?" Still, no matter how persistent she was, Julian ignored her each time. ---- The roses?

He threw them straight into the trash. The pancakes? He fed them to the strays. The gifts? He returned them without exception -not in person, of course. He packed them all into a large box and left them at her door. Even so, Bianca refused to back down. "It's okay if you keep rejecting me. I believe that sincerity can melt a frozen heart," she said. "I'll keep chasing you, Jules, until you fall in love with me again.

I have all the time in the world." Once upon a time, these romantic speeches would have made Julian tear up. But now, he was sick of her voice. He wanted nothing to do with Bianca. He only wanted distance so that he could start over. Julian sighed as he complained to his friend , Jacob Mill. "Even calling the police was useless. She's too careful. She hasn't sent me a single text, nor has she touched me at all.

The police say it counts as normal pursuits of love and doesn't meet the legal definition of harassment. "What am I supposed to do? I've told her again and again that I'll never forgive her, that we're done. But she just won't believe me!" he cried out. "Am I supposed to quit my job and disappear just to get away from her? But why? I didn't do anything ---- wrong! Why should I have to run and hide like a criminal?" Jacob leaned forward. "I have an idea to make her leave you alone for good.

It's going to be brutal, though. You want to give it a try?" Julian's eyes sparked with interest immediately. " How? Tell me! I'll do anything as long as it gets her out of my life!" At that, Jacob leaned in close and whispered his brilliant plan into Julian's ear.
