Hailey looked at Declan and asked, "Declan, what's wrong?"
As she spoke, her small hand landed on his body. "You're burning up like a furnace…"
A dark red flame seemed to flicker in Declan's eyes, but he forced himself to stay in control. He shouldn't have come looking for Hailey tonight, but he just couldn't help himself.
"I was drugged," he said hoarsely.
Hailey's long lashes fluttered as her eyes widened in shock. "You've been drugged again?"
She emphasized the word "again" because this wasn't the first time Declan had fallen victim to such a scheme.
"Who drugged you? Was it Stella's father?" Hailey guessed.
Declan gave a faint nod.
"Why would he drug you? Don't tell me he's trying to get you to sleep with Stella?"
Declan looked at her but said nothing.
Hailey let out a frustrated laugh and shot him a glare, unsure whether she should be angry or not.
"Declan, just look at all the trouble your charm brings you. You've got wealthy socialites and rich heiresses falling over themselves for you, and they'll stop at nothing to have you. They're even resorting to drugging you now."
Before she could say more, Declan suddenly lowered his head and captured her lips in a deep kiss, silencing her endless complaints.
Hailey felt her heart swell with sweetness. She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him back.
Now that he was holding the girl he liked, Declan's blood burned even hotter. Every cell in his body screamed with desire.
She had just taken a shower, and her scent was intoxicating. Unable to resist, he buried his flushed face in the crook of her neck.
Hailey's eyes shimmered with warmth. "Declan, what should we do now?"
Declan swallowed hard. "I need a cold shower."
"Okay, come to my room."
Hailey led him upstairs to her bedroom.
Her room was a princess' haven, adorned in soft pink hues and delicate details, radiating a sweet and youthful charm.
"My bathroom is here. Go take a shower," Hailey said.
"Declan, are you okay?" she asked, her heart still racing.
Water dripped from his body, tracing along his sharp, masculine features. He looked unbearably seductive. While shaking his head, he said, "I'm fine."
Hailey let out a sigh of relief. "If you're fine, why didn't you answer me? I thought something had happened to you! You scared me to death!"
She patted her chest, trying to calm herself.
Just then, Declan reached out and gave her a slight push, pinning her against the wall.
Only then did Hailey realize something was off. He had just showered, and she was now seeing way too much.
She let out a startled scream and immediately covered her face with both hands.
Declan chuckled, amused by her reaction. "Now you're shy? I thought you wouldn't be."
He was being ridiculous. She was a girl, so of course she was shy.
Hailey balled her fists and lightly punched his chest. "Declan, you're so annoying!"

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
