Hailey was about to scream again, but Declan quickly covered her mouth with his hand, silencing her.
"Quiet. My mom and sister will hear. Do you really want them to walk in and see this?" he asked.
Hailey blinked, her wide, startled eyes meeting his. After a brief pause, she gently pulled his hand away. "I won't scream. Just let me down."
Declan released his grip, and Hailey eased herself off him.
However, as she moved, her hand brushed against his crotch. It wasn't the first time she'd felt it, and her curiosity got the better of her. She reached out again and asked, "What is this?"
"Hailey, don't touch that!" Declan exclaimed, trying to stop her, but it was already too late—her hand was on him.
Declan's chiseled body went rigid, a flush of desire spreading across his face.
Hailey quickly realized what had just happened. She took a few steps back, her wide eyes fixed on him. "Y-You... you..."
The innocence in her expression made Declan hesitate, and without another word, he turned and walked away.
Hailey stood frozen. What had she just done?
She instinctively raised her hand to cover her flushed face, feeling as though she couldn't face anyone at that moment.
Just as Declan stepped out of the room, Hailey's voice rang out. "Declan!"
He halted in his tracks.
Hailey spoke again. "I'm scared the rat might come back. Could you wait by the door while I shower? I'll be quick, I promise."
Declan couldn't bring himself to say no. "Alright."
A few moments later, the sound of running water filled the room as Hailey stepped into the shower.
Declan opened the window to let in some cool air, hoping the breeze would distract him. The warmth of the room made it all too easy for his mind to wander, and he wasn't comfortable with the direction it was heading.
About ten minutes later, Hailey stepped out of the bathroom. "I'm done."

We getting somewhere with revelations...
Pls upload more chapters coz it’s not enough to be honest. But I’m thankful for the 4 chapters. Thanks! And author please let Celine have her justice and let those people who wronged her be punished. Pls, I am so invested in this and it’s so exhausting to read about Celine’s being bullied and hurt over and over again. Let Celine shine pls!!!🙏...
I knew it! Lucy poisoned them. But, It’s about time that the truth will prevail. Hope Adam would listen. I just hope that Carly and Lucy won't get a chance to interfere and stop Adam from finding out the truth! It’s time that Celine will get her justice and get back everything that’s belong to her especially her Identity. Whether Adam believes Celine, it’s up to him. But he’s a moron lol. I hate him from being so blind!...
I dont understand, why lucy hates celine so much? She is her daughter, biological daughter... Why she scemed against celine, as if she is her mortal enemy.....
Hopefully the truth comes out soon....
That’s just great! Let me guess, the truth won’t be revealed because Lucy and Carly poison those kidnappers and the doctors lol. In the end Adam will take Carly sides again lol! Same old same old....
