Hailey shook her head and took a step back.
Inside, the officiant stepped onto the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding of Mr. Zamora and Ms. Xanders. Now, I officially announce the ceremony has begun. Let's welcome the bride and groom."
The lights dimmed, and the soft melody of the Wedding March filled the hall.
Stella walked arm in arm with Declan down the red-carpeted aisle. Slowly, they approached the officiant.
The officiant looked at Stella and asked, "Ms. Xanders, do you willingly take Mr. Zamora as your husband? Will you stand by his side through wealth and poverty, sickness and health, for as long as you both shall live?"
Stella blushed and answered, "I do."
The officiant then turned to Declan. "Mr. Zamora, do you willingly take Ms. Xanders as your wife? Will you stand by her side through wealth and poverty, sickness and health, for as long as you both shall live?"
At that moment, Hailey was heartbroken. It was as if a knife had pierced her chest, sinking deep into her soul.
She never imagined Declan would actually stand at the altar with Stella. He was really going to marry her.
Ewan let out a cold laugh. "Hailey, do you see it now? Stop dreaming! You cared for Declan's mother, looked after his sister, and yet here he is, marrying another woman. He's been lying to you all along. He's nothing but a liar!"
A liar? Was Declan really going to marry Stella?
Hailey refused to believe it. She reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and dialed Declan's number.
Ewan asked, "Hailey, are you still not giving up?"
"This is between Declan and me. It's none of your business!"
Ewan clenched his fists. For the first time, he fully understood that Hailey didn't have feelings for him.
As she stood at the entrance, Hailey watched as he picked up. As she held her phone tightly, she quickly asked, "Declan, where are you now?"
She prayed he wouldn't lie to her and would tell her the truth.
No matter what he was doing, maybe there was a reason. However, he had to be honest with her.
Instead of leaving her standing outside like a fool, wasn't love supposed to be built on honesty and trust?
She had asked him what he was doing.
Declan pursed his lips, never expecting Hailey to call him on his wedding day. How was he supposed to answer?
After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke. "Hailey, I'm out right now. I'm busy. Do you need something?"

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....
