Danielle looked up at him, a lump forming in her throat.
"Now that we know about Dean Gresham, about Nathan's schemes, we can't just sit back and do nothing."
She took a deep breath, her tone becoming firm. "Alexander, I don't want to be pushed away this time."
"Dean Gresham deserves justice. Nathan's ambition must be stopped. And the misunderstandings between us need to be resolved."
"Let's face these things together. Please?"
After she spoke, a strange, heavy silence descended upon the room.
At her plea to "face this together," Alexander's body went rigid. He slowly turned his back to her, his shoulders drawn tight, his fingertips trembling.
Danielle stared at his resolute back, a sharp sting of pain in her heart, but she pressed on.
"Is that a no? Then at least tell me, who will come after me if we get close?"
"Is it Nathan? Or the people behind him? Do you really think keeping me and Niki at arm's length will stop them from using us as leverage?"
She took a step closer. "Nathan was capable of harming Dean Gresham. He orchestrated your car accident. If he decides to target Niki and me, do you honestly believe you can stop him alone?"
"Pushing us away isn't protecting us. It's leaving us like lambs to the slaughter, completely unaware of when the danger will strike."
Alexander's frame wavered, but he still didn't turn around.
He was afraid that if he did, the resolve in her eyes would shatter his defenses. He was afraid he would give in and drag her back into this mess.
The sanctuary he had fought so hard to protect for all these years couldn't be tainted by a moment of weakness.

Please update...
Sooooo complicated sigh* Simply pls thanks....
Where is Chapter 545 - 554? I thought there'll be 9-10 chapters per update....
I knew it! He’s in love with her but he thinks she loves his brother!...
Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
I hope not a lot of important dialogues get cut out, especially between Danielle and Alexander. But I can't complain, really. Thank you again for the updates....
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
