Hailey froze.
Declan was at her door? Why did he come to see her?
"Declan, just go. You're married now. I don't want to get involved with a married man. That's my boundary," she shot back.
"Hailey, the marriage isn't what you think."
Her fingers trembled slightly. What did he mean? If it wasn't what she thought, then what was it supposed to be?
"Hailey, please give me another chance to explain everything." Declan pleaded in a low voice.
Hailey tightened her grip on her phone. To be honest, her heart wavered.
Was there more to his marriage with Stella than she knew?
She still didn't understand why he had suddenly married her.
Deep down, she still had feelings for him.
Clutching her phone, she said, "Alright, I'll come out now."
She hung up and walked toward the door.
While standing at the door, Declan's eyes lit up with excitement. The moment Hailey stepped out, he would finally have the chance to explain everything.
Everything would be okay.
Just then, a black van sped toward him. The doors burst open, and two towering men in black suits jumped out.
Before Declan could react, they grabbed him.
Looking at them, Declan asked, "Who are you?"
"We're here to kill you!"
Declan struggled, but the moment he moved, pain shot through his abdomen. Blood seeped from his wound.
The men tightened their grip and hauled him into the van.
When Declan saw Hailey stepping outside from the window, he slammed his hand against the glass. "Hailey! Hailey!"
A sharp, searing pain tore through his chest. As he looked down, a gleaming blade had pierced straight through his heart.
"Hailey, it's always been me. Who else were you expecting?" he asked with a smile.
Hailey glanced around again, still searching for Declan's tall, familiar figure. However, he was nowhere to be found.
So he never came.
Was this all a joke to him? Was he tricking her? How could he do this to her?
Ewan stepped forward and took Hailey's hand. "Hailey, are you waiting for Declan? He's already married. Are you still clinging to the idea of being with a man who's already married?"
"I'm not," Hailey replied.
"Hailey, there's no future for you and Declan. I really like you, so could you give me a chance? Let's be together," Ewan confessed his feelings with deep sincerity as he gazed at her.
Hailey pulled her hand from his grasp. "Ewan, how many times do I have to say it? I'm not going to be with you, and I don't have feelings for you anymore!"
With that, she turned and went back into the house.
Ewan stood frozen in place, slowly clenching his fists.
Did Hailey still have feelings for 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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
