The narrative begins with Aisha arriving late to a scheduled meeting with Abe at Batey’s Kuntry Kitchen, setting tension through time disrespect, a crowded social setting, and flash of status symbols. Dialogue-driven conflict unfolds as Abe’s brothers and companions question whether he will forgive Aisha after allegations of cheating.","Why Should I Love You? by  \nIvy Symone  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nAcknowledgments  \nWow. I can’t believe I actually did it!  \nFirst I’d like to thank my mother, Brenda Lockett for encouraging me to take my writing to the next level and seek publishing. I want to thank my cousin Geneva Mitchell for reading all of my rough drafts and revisions and being the first to enjoy my writing. She was there during my Max and Simone days (insider) . Ha Ha! I’d like to give a special thank you to Keith Swanson who endured countless nagging conversations with me about my story ideas. I know I got on his nerves, but he listened and took interest and encouraged me along the way. I want to shout out my four children and sonin-law: Christopher and India Bradford, Dion, Harrah, and AJ just because.  \n*shrug* Love you guys!  \nThen there’s my writing family. There’s no way I could not tell them how I feel and how much they mean to me. From the beginning \\#TeamTakeOver has been there when I doubted myself and nudged me forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you Mia West for being the first to present the opportunity to me. I will always be grateful for it. You didn’t even have to do it, but you did. A really big thanks to Tiece Mickens, my publisher for seeing something in me and giving me this opportunity. You’ll never know how much I appreciate it. With you I know I can only get better. To the other two CEOs at Write House Publishing, Torica Tymes and Cole Hart, I thank you for allowing me to be a part of the family. And Ava Mann, I’m shaking my head even as I type this. What can I say? Things just wouldn’t be the same without you in the family.  \nI want to thank the entire Write House family and shout out David Weaver for paving the way.  \nTo my special teammates Buddy, Toni and Faith. I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know y’all and enjoy the closeness we share. Faith, it feels like I’ve been  \nknowing you for years! And in my spirit I know this was meant to be.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nChapter 1  \nAisha was late as always. No consideration or respect for other people’s time. She knew Abe had a busy schedule and she should consider herself lucky that he even cleared some time for her.  \nLooking around, Abe could see that Batey’s Kuntry Kitchen was crowded with lunch hour patrons from different walks of life. An Asian couple sat nearby politely eating chicken and dressing, with mixed greens and abiracial couple sat behind them enjoying the tasty cheeseburger meals that came with fries and a desert of their choice.  \nReally? Abe thought as he looked at the time displayed on his cellphone as if the diamond Cartier watch on his wrist couldn’t be of much assistance. His watch was merely an accessory like the diamond bracelet on his opposite wrist. Both of the pieces symbolized not only his expensive taste, but his status and wealth.  \n“If she ain’t here in the next ten minutes, we gotta go,” Eli snapped with annoyance in his usual, ostentatious manner.“Ain’t nobody got time for her fuckery. Why you even agree to talk with the skank?”  \nAbe shot his younger brother a look. Eli, who was also Abe’s personal assistant, always had a low tolerance for nonsense. As much as Abe hated to admit it, he knew it was time that he considered adopting his brother ’s attitude.  \nAbe was a softy and very passive when it came to personal relationships. Business was a different story. His aggression in that arena had been compared to that of a beast. Abe didn’t play when it came to his money. If linking up Aisha that morning had been a business meeting; he would have been gone and on to the next.  \n“I just wanna hear her out,” Abe said in a gentle tone.  \n“She cheated!” Eli said incredulously.  \n“I haven’t been the kindest dude, either.” Abe argued in her defense.  \n“But y’all were close to being married and she cheated,” Eli countered. He studied Abe’s expression. An expression Eli had to be reading wrong. With suspicion, Eli pondered.“Are you having thoug","cbCaijdPyj8B1pO2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijdPyj8B1pO2","pdf",1133517,2,211,"English","en",105,"# Acknowledgments\n# Chapter 1","[{\"question\":\"Who are the people thanked in the acknowledgments section?\",\"answer\":\"The acknowledgments thank the author’s mother, cousin, children and son-in-law, a writing family, teammates, a publisher, and other publishing leadership and staff, along with specific individuals who supported revisions and opportunities.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does Chapter 1 begin?\",\"answer\":\"Chapter 1 begins at Batey’s Kuntry Kitchen during the lunch hour, where Abe and his brother are waiting for Aisha.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is there conflict between Abe and his brother in Chapter 1?\",\"answer\":\"Eli believes Aisha cheated and insists Abe should not marry her, while Abe responds with uncertainty and a desire to hear her out and defend her.\"}]","Why Should I Love You? - Ivy Symone - Chapter 1 | PDF",1786107487,325,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":28},"why-should-i-love-you-ivy-symone-chapter-1","",{"@graph":36,"@context":85},[37,53,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,47,50],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/why-should-i-love-you-ivy-symone-chapter-1/129750/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-24","2026-08-07",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"Who are the people thanked in the acknowledgments section?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The acknowledgments thank the author’s mother, cousin, children and son-in-law, a writing family, teammates, a publisher, and other publishing leadership and staff, along with specific individuals who supported revisions and opportunities.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"Where does Chapter 1 begin?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"Chapter 1 begins at Batey’s Kuntry Kitchen during the lunch hour, where Abe and his brother are waiting for Aisha.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"Why is there conflict between Abe and his brother in Chapter 1?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"Eli believes Aisha cheated and insists Abe should not marry her, while Abe responds with uncertainty and a desire to hear her out and defend her.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,96,100,104,109,114,119,124,129,132,136],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
