Two men in black dragged the middle-aged man away.
Hailey glanced at Declan, then turned and walked off.
With long strides, Declan followed right behind her.
Hailey quickened her pace, trying to shake him off.
However, Declan easily kept up and remained right behind her.
"Stop following me!" she shouted.
Hailey ran out of the casino and onto the street. Just as she turned, her ankle twisted, and she fell to the ground.
She was utterly frustrated with herself. Today was just one unlucky thing after another.
A deep voice sounded above her as she sat on the ground, "Are you alright?"
Hailey looked up. Declan had caught up with her.
He stood while she sat, towering over her because of his height. She had to tilt her head to look at him.
Declan reached out his hand. "Get up."
He was offering to help her.
Hailey didn't want his help. She tried to get up on her own.
However, it was futile.
Declan reached down, grabbed her by the arm, and lifted her effortlessly.
Hailey was speechless. She had been angry at him, but… he was really strong.
Declan looked at her. "Don't come here again. This place isn't for you. I'll get you a taxi. Go home."
He stepped to the curb and waved down a taxi.
The car pulled over, and Declan opened the door. "Get in."
Hailey didn't move. "Declan, don't you have anything to say to me?"

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!...
