Hailey stood frozen as the car sped toward her. Just as it was about to hit her, a strong arm reached out. It wrapped around her slender waist and pulled her back with force.
She was yanked into a warm embrace.
The car brushed past her, missing her by inches.
Her heart pounded wildly at that moment. She lifted her head, looking up at the man holding her.
It was him. The masked man she had been searching for had appeared before her once again.
"It's you?" Hailey asked, looking at him.
He let go of her and spoke in a deep, steady voice. "Were you looking for me?"
Hailey nodded. "Yes, I was."
His tone was indifferent. "Watch where you're going next time."
With that, he turned and walked away.
Hailey quickly followed him. "Who are you? We've met before, haven't we?"
"I don't know you," he replied.
She didn't believe him. "If you don't know me, then why did you save me? This is the second time today."
He saved her once from the men in black, and once here on the street.
The man said indifferently, "It was nothing. I was just lending you a hand."
"I don't believe that! I'm sure we know each other. You're someone I used to know."
He asked, "Someone you liked?"
Instead, Hailey stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Her bright eyes stared at him as she replied, "I won't leave unless you show me your face."
He stopped, gazing at her delicate, striking features. "I'm really not who you think I am."
"Show me your face then."
"Do you really want to see my face?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I'll let you see."
Hailey's eyes lit up when he agreed. She took two steps closer, reached out, and slowly lifted her hand toward his black mask.
She was sure that he was 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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
