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.

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. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
