Hailey couldn't wait for Declan any longer. She decided to go find him herself.
It didn't matter if Declan wasn't looking for her. She could take the initiative.
Hailey went to the casino and asked a young thug, "Hey, is Declan here?"
The thug grinned. "Another pretty girl looking for Declan, huh? Sorry, sweetheart, he's not here today."
"Where did he go?" she asked.
The thug smirked. "Declan took our young lady to the bar for a good time."
Young lady? Was it that sultry, mature bombshell, Stella?
Declan took Stella to the bar?
Upon noticing the disappointment on Hailey's face, the thug chuckled. "You got a thing for Declan? Forget it. He's already got a girlfriend."
Hailey froze. "What do you mean? Declan's dating someone?"
"That's right. Declan and our young lady are officially together. Everybody knows that."
Hailey felt her heart sink.
Declan and Stella were together? No wonder he never came looking for her. He was in a relationship. Then, what did that make her?
Hailey immediately headed to the bar. She had to find Declan.
As soon as she arrived, she spotted him in the VIP lounge. He was wearing a crisp white dress shirt today, the fabric outlining his toned waist and chiseled muscles. With his sharp-cropped hair and striking features, he stood out from the crowd in an instant.
She was used to seeing him in black. This was the first time she had seen him in white. And damn, he looked good in it.
The bar wasn't crowded tonight. Declan had reserved the entire place. He lounged on the couch, with Stella sitting beside him, surrounded by a group of streetwise toughs.
"Here, Declan, have a smoke." Someone offered him a cigarette.
However, Stella stopped them. "Don't let Declan smoke."
He had never once reached out to hold her. It was always her making the first move.
At the VIP table, a scion laughed. "Declan, if you can't smoke, at least have a drink."
"Ms. Xanders, he can have a drink, right? Why don't you two share a wedding toast?"
The crowd egged them on to drink together.
Stella raised an eyebrow. "Fine, we can do a wedding toast."
Someone poured them drinks. Declan took a glass, and so did Stella. Their arms intertwined.
As the crowd cheered, Stella gazed at Declan with deep affection. "Declan, after this drink, I'll be yours."
"Ms. Xanders, you're not even married yet. How can you already call yourself his?"
Stella's eyes burned with passion. She boldly declared, "I don't care. After this wedding toast, I, Stella Xanders, am officially yours, Declan!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
How can this be,Carly always gets away with everything and Celine intelligence is not working her at all....
Just as I thought. This could go on a few more chapters. But the bond between Fiona amd Celine is undeniable. Even without knowing that they are mother and daughter. Though I'm totally confused. Isn't there any resemblance between Celine and her parents? How couldn't they tell that she was their daughter?...
As expected of the dna results in favor of the wicked carly again.. so frustrating...
I hope the writer of this story will not prolong this…..what happened to the DNA…...
Can you upload more chapters per day, each chapter is very short you always keep us hanging...
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
