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.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. đ Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So letâs move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Donât let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine whatâs rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesnât dragâŠ..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved đđ...
