Stella clenched her fists as jealousy burned in her eyes. Even though she was engaged to Declan, she knew that Hailey had always occupied a place in his heart.
A woman's intuition never lied.
Now, Hailey was back, entangling herself with him once again and making Stella feel threatened.
She loved Declan. She loved him a lot. She didn't want to lose him.
"Ms. Xanders, what exactly is going on?"
Annoyed, she snapped, "All of you, get out!"
The crowd quickly scattered.
Just then, Bob arrived. He looked at Stella. "Stelly, what's wrong? Who made you upset?"
Stella reached out and hugged her father. "Dad, you're here?"
Bob glanced around. "Stelly, where's Declan? Wasn't he supposed to be here with you? Where did he go? Why are you here alone?"
She couldn't bear to speak ill of Declan. "He just went to the restroom, Dad. Dad, I'm scared of losing Declan. I want to marry him as soon as possible."
Bob frowned. "Stelly, why are you in such a hurry to get married?"
"Because I want to marry him! But I feel like Declan isn't in a rush. Dad, you have to find a way to make him marry me sooner."
She pouted playfully. "Dad, you think so highly of Declan. Everyone says a son-in-law is like half a son. If I get married, you can hand over the family business to Declan, and then I'll give you a bunch of grandkids. You can retire and enjoy life taking care of them!"
Bob burst into hearty laughter. "You really are ready to fly the nest, huh? Alright, I'll think of a way."
"What way?"
He smirked knowingly. "Simple. You and Declan just need to seal the deal."
Stella's face flushed. "Dad!"
"Don't you want to?"
"If you can be here, why can't I?" she shot back, her lips curling into a smirk. "Declan, didn't you say you didn't know me? Then, why did you save me? Why do you care?"
She felt a burst of joy in her heart. Declan cared. He had pulled her out of that scion's clutches. She had won the gamble.
Declan braced one hand against the wall, effectively caging her in between his body and the cold surface behind her.
His deep, intense eyes locked onto hers. "Hailey, I'll say it one more time. You don't belong here. Go home."
Hailey lifted her chin defiantly. "I'm not going home. I want to stay with you."
Declan's expression darkened. "Hailey, there's no future for us."
With that, he turned to leave.
But before he could take a step, Hailey swiftly reached up, hooked her arms around his neck, and pulled him down. His face was now mere inches from hers.
She looked into his eyes. "Declan, you have feelings for me. You like me!"
