Danielle frowned at Alexander, a storm of emotions swirling in her eyes. The fragile warmth that had begun to build inside the diner was instantly extinguished by his words. She stood there, replaying the events since their divorce, feeling as though a thick wall of ice had formed between them, one that could never melt.
It seemed they had never truly opened their hearts to each other. When they were together, she had mistaken his silence for stoicism and his protection for deep affection. Only now did she realize it was all just a hard shell he used to shield himself. And hadn't she been just as guilty, carefully maintaining a façade of calm, too afraid to touch the scars on his heart?
How could two people like that, unable to even be honest with each other, ever go back to the way things were?
Danielle bit her lip until it turned pale. She took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness rising in her throat, and gave a slight nod. Her voice was tinged with distance. "Fine. I'll do as you wish."
Without another glance at him, she turned and walked back toward the hotel. She didn't look back, afraid that if she did, she would break her resolve and fall back into their tangled, chaotic relationship.
Alexander stood frozen, watching her resolute back as a sharp pain clenched his heart. He raised a hand as if to call out to her, but no words came. He knew what he'd said was hurtful, but he felt he had no choice. He couldn't let the battle with Harold and Jake spill over and harm her. He couldn't let her get hurt because of him again.

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....
