Declan shut his eyes in frustration. One of his hands gripped his phone while the other hand slid downward.
"Hailey!" he called her name in a hoarse, strained voice.
"I'm here, Declan. Where are you right now? Why aren't you answering my questions? Declan, you're not with Stella, are you?
"I don't want you to be with her, and I absolutely forbid you from getting intimate with her! Do you hear me?"
Declan remained silent while Hailey kept chattering away.
"Declan, do you miss me?" she suddenly asked.
He froze for a moment.
"Declan, if you miss me, then come find me. I'm at home. Tonight, my dad and Linda aren't here. It's just me, all alone."
Declan didn't respond.
"I'll hang up, then," she said.
Then, the line beeped twice. Hailey had ended the call.
Declan felt an uncontrollable urge rise within him. Thoughts of Hailey completely consumed his mind right now, and he wanted to go to her.
After turning off the shower, Declan got dressed. Stella was still unconscious on the bed, and the guards were stationed outside. His only way out was through the window.
They were on the fourth floor.
Declan pulled open the window, tied the bedsheets together to form a rope, and then leaped out. He landed on the ground.
The cool night air wrapped around him, feeling fresh and free. Without hesitation, Declan took off running, his long strides carrying him swiftly through the night.
Meanwhile, inside the villa, Hailey was still thinking about their phone call.
But right now, he didn't care.
Declan reached out and grabbed Hailey's slender waist, pulling her forcefully into his arms.
As he held her soft, fragrant body against him, he lowered his head and captured her lips in a deep, fervent kiss.
His kiss was intense, almost consuming as if he were trying to drown himself in her sweetness.
Hailey's knees went weak, and she started to slip downward. But Declan held her tightly, keeping her pressed against his body.
In an instant, she felt it—his abnormal heat, his overwhelming desire.
She placed her hands against his firm chest and pushed him back slightly. "Declan, what's wrong with you?"
His gaze burned into hers. "Hailey, I want you."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
