Declan didn't move. His gaze remained steady and ice-cold as he locked eyes with Cobra.
Then, he reached behind his head and pulled out a nearly invisible tracking and listening device from beneath his hair.
"That's right, it was me! Cobra, Every word you just said has been transmitted to the authorities. The false charges against my father end today. The world will finally hear what he never got the chance to say. Let me say it again, my father was an officer, not a drug dealer!"
Bob was very shocked. "Declan, y-your father was—"
Cobra's expression turned grim as he said, "I knew it! That look in your eyes—it was just like his! So, you're his son!"
Declan replied, "Yes, he was my father!"
Bob chimed in, "Declan, you lied to me. You never intended to marry my daughter. You just used me to get close to Cobra!"
The realization hit him like a sledgehammer. Everything had been part of Declan's plan.
Outside, sirens wailed as squad cars screeched to a stop. A wave of officers in full tactical gear poured in, weapons raised, cutting off every possible escape route.
Logan Mercer, the veteran cop leading the operation, shouted through a megaphone, "Cobra, Mr. Xanders! You're surrounded! Surrender now and face the consequences of the law."
One of the black-clad underlings panicked. "Cobra, what do we do? We're completely surrounded!"
Cobra's eyes gleamed with malice as he glared at Declan. "Kid, I never thought I would go down because of you! Surrender? Not a chance! Let's go! We're fighting our way out!"
Gunfire erupted, and chaos ensued.
Logan found Declan and grabbed him, dragging him toward the exit. "Hey, come with me! It's too dangerous here."

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!...
