Hailey looked at Declan and asked, "Declan, what's wrong?"
As she spoke, her small hand landed on his body. "You're burning up like a furnace…"
A dark red flame seemed to flicker in Declan's eyes, but he forced himself to stay in control. He shouldn't have come looking for Hailey tonight, but he just couldn't help himself.
"I was drugged," he said hoarsely.
Hailey's long lashes fluttered as her eyes widened in shock. "You've been drugged again?"
She emphasized the word "again" because this wasn't the first time Declan had fallen victim to such a scheme.
"Who drugged you? Was it Stella's father?" Hailey guessed.
Declan gave a faint nod.
"Why would he drug you? Don't tell me he's trying to get you to sleep with Stella?"
Declan looked at her but said nothing.
Hailey let out a frustrated laugh and shot him a glare, unsure whether she should be angry or not.
"Declan, just look at all the trouble your charm brings you. You've got wealthy socialites and rich heiresses falling over themselves for you, and they'll stop at nothing to have you. They're even resorting to drugging you now."
Before she could say more, Declan suddenly lowered his head and captured her lips in a deep kiss, silencing her endless complaints.
Hailey felt her heart swell with sweetness. She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him back.
Now that he was holding the girl he liked, Declan's blood burned even hotter. Every cell in his body screamed with desire.
She had just taken a shower, and her scent was intoxicating. Unable to resist, he buried his flushed face in the crook of her neck.
Hailey's eyes shimmered with warmth. "Declan, what should we do now?"
Declan swallowed hard. "I need a cold shower."
"Okay, come to my room."
Hailey led him upstairs to her bedroom.
Her room was a princess' haven, adorned in soft pink hues and delicate details, radiating a sweet and youthful charm.
"My bathroom is here. Go take a shower," Hailey said.
"Declan, are you okay?" she asked, her heart still racing.
Water dripped from his body, tracing along his sharp, masculine features. He looked unbearably seductive. While shaking his head, he said, "I'm fine."
Hailey let out a sigh of relief. "If you're fine, why didn't you answer me? I thought something had happened to you! You scared me to death!"
She patted her chest, trying to calm herself.
Just then, Declan reached out and gave her a slight push, pinning her against the wall.
Only then did Hailey realize something was off. He had just showered, and she was now seeing way too much.
She let out a startled scream and immediately covered her face with both hands.
Declan chuckled, amused by her reaction. "Now you're shy? I thought you wouldn't be."
He was being ridiculous. She was a girl, so of course she was shy.
Hailey balled her fists and lightly punched his chest. "Declan, you're so annoying!"

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....
