CHAPTER 261. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. AsleepLoan jumped out of bed, getting dressed while rushing to the living room. He put on his shoes and left the house without even taking a moment to think. He only knew that if his mother was calling him at this hour, something must have happened with Danna or his son. His heart was pounding as he sped toward his parents' house.When he arrived, he found his mother at the door, looking toward the street with an expression of anguish. Loan’s hope that it wasn't something serious vanished when he saw his mother’s face."What’s wrong, Mom?" Loan asked anxiously as he reached her."We can’t find Danna," Luana said with a sigh. "Mauro cried early in the morning for his bottle. Usually, Danna picks him up right away, but when I realized the baby wasn’t calming down, I went to check. When I gave him the bottle, I thought maybe the pills the doctor gave her made her sleep deeply, but when I went to her room, she wasn't there."Loan loosened the drawstrin

CHAPTER 262. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Down a mountain?"Good morning, boss," she greeted cheerfully as she entered the store, and Levi burst into laughter."Boss? Me? I'm not even the boss in my own household!" he replied. "But go ahead, boost my ego because it's proven no one else will. Shall we start?""Of course. Oh, boss, the impressive, the fearsome...!""Get to work, Danna! I meant, get to work!" Levi laughed, and a few minutes later, he was teaching her all the basics related to the store.In the end, they didn’t even need to divide the duties because they were both absolutely responsible. Wherever there was something disorganized, the first one to see it would fix it.Danna felt comfortable, and Levi’s lighthearted and friendly demeanor helped a lot. However, standing for so long was going to take a toll on her.She let out an uncomfortable groan when a bad movement reminded her of the pain in her hip, and a few meters away, Levi looked up."Are you okay?" he asked, and Danna im

CHAPTER 263. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Painful memoriesBefore Luana could react, Loan grabbed a blanket from the living room chest and ran after Danna. He could have stopped her right there, woken her up, but a special curiosity drove him. She could do anything, yet her subconscious was pushing her outside.He followed her from a distance, not getting too close for fear of waking her. Finally, after several laps around the garden, they reached the edge of the forest again. Loan looked around, scanning the dark, cold landscape that stretched out before him, but Danna seemed perfectly comfortable.Suddenly, he saw her head toward a nearby tree, lying down on the enormous pile of reddish leaves at its base. She was deeply asleep, her breathing deep and regular.Loan sat on the ground, trying to understand what made her return to the same place. He slowly approached and covered her with the blanket before she started to shiver from the cold. He carefully wrapped her up and cradled her again

CHAPTER 264. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Who the hell is her boss?!He thanked the doctor and left in a hurry, heading straight to the governor’s office.Meanwhile, high on the mountain, Danna was looking horrified at her boss, who was placing skis in front of her.“Sit down so I can adjust them,” he ordered.“Noooo, no, no, no…” she replied, and Levi pointed to the slope they would be going down. It wasn’t very steep and looked safe.“But… but…”“No buts. I’m an excellent skier, and I teach small children. With your size, you almost fit into that category.”Danna pouted three times, but no one paid attention to her protests as Levi adjusted the skis and gave her the first instructions.“Keep your knees bent, feet apart, and back straight,” he explained.“But what if I fall?” she asked, worried.“Don’t worry, it’s a given that you’ll fall. But if you’re going too fast, just sit your butt down in the snow. The only way to learn is by practicing, so take the risk. Besides, I’m here with you,

CHAPTER 265. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The jealous typeThis had to be a joke, a very bad joke played by fate, because the man with Danna was far from ugly. He looked like he stepped straight out of a high-end fashion magazine, the kind with super special models. He was almost albino, with gray eyes, and as buff as the damn cartoon version of Hercules, and Loan hated him in an instant.Loan watched Danna out of the corner of his eye the whole time her boss was training her. It annoyed him when the man leaned in to talk to her, it bothered him when he held her waist when she lost her balance, and he hated seeing him roll in the snow with her whenever they both fell.Loan watched how the sunlight lit up Danna, her hair, her smile—he loved hearing her laugh but hated that she was laughing for him. With every passing second, his jealousy and insecurity grew, and that was something he couldn't allow.In the last few days, he'd feared the inevitable: that Danna might find someone else. Someone

CHAPTER 266. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. I'm Here"Good, in that case, Danna is safe here, and you’d better work hard so she doesn’t look at anyone else," Levi concluded."Noted."Loan left with a satisfied smile until, ten steps later, he realized the guy had dismissed him without accepting a single warning."Damn it! I really do have a soft heart," he grumbled in frustration as he headed toward the base of the mountain.An hour later, he was sitting in the governor's office, signing the papers for the plot of land he had just purchased, and contacting one of the most famous construction companies in France for their special projects."Mrs. Craven's office, how may I assist you?" asked a friendly receptionist."Good afternoon, my name is Loan Keller. I’ve been in contact with Mrs. Sabrina Craven by email. I need to let her know the project is moving forward, and I need a date and a quote.""Of course, Mr. Keller, just one moment, and I'll transfer you. Mrs. Craven has been expecting your

CHAPTER 267. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. In the RainDanna woke up with a start when the downpour began. Her scream woke Loan, and instinctively, she backed away until her back hit the tree. She wasn’t fully aware of what was happening around her, only that the rain pounding down had jolted her awake.She screamed in fear, unable to understand why she was in this strange place, surrounded by forest, in the middle of the night, and wrapped in the arms of a man..."It's me! It's me, redhead! Calm down, you’re safe, you’re with me."Danna's eyes filled with tears as she saw Loan crouched in front of her, trying to wipe the rain from his face."Where am I?" she asked in panic. "What...? What am I doing here?!""Please, baby, calm down," he pleaded. "Nothing bad is happening, I can explain it, but please, just calm down."His gestures were gentle, and the moon was so full that she could see the distress in his eyes."Loan..." she murmured, and he slowly extended a hand."Yes, redhead, it's me.

CHAPTER 268. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Dark side"I don't know. Mom called me a few days ago, scared because she couldn’t find you, and when I arrived, I found you outside, but I think you've been going out before that," he replied."And how long have you been losing sleep following me?" she asked, looking into his eyes, and Loan shrugged as if it didn’t matter."Since the day you texted me, I got so excited that by the time I noticed you’d written ‘weekend,’ I was already here."Danna chuckled softly and nodded."I imagine you missed Mauro a lot.""And you," he replied, and Danna bit her lower lip nervously.Danna thought for a moment."How is this even possible? I didn’t even realize I was leaving. Well... I did see my feet dirty once, but just that once," she reflected."That’s because the rest of the time I cleaned them before putting you back to bed," Loan said, watching her hug herself. "Hey... it’s okay, you know I don’t mind taking care of you. Besides, it’s given me the chance t

CHAPTER 269. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. please wait…“Tell me I can hold you,” were the only words that came out of Loan’s mouth before he pulled her onto his lap. There were two blankets between them, but even so, Loan’s body was burning hot, and Danna curled up into a small ball between his legs.“I’m sorry, babe, but if we try to go home in this rain, we’ll only end up worse,” he murmured in her ear, and she nodded, still trembling. The problem was that the cold wasn’t just external; the rest of her heart and soul felt the same way.“Why is this happening, Loan?” she asked, distressed. “Can you imagine if I had brought Mauro? What a danger, God!”“Calm down, don’t think about that. That’s why I’m watching over you. Mauro is safe in his crib,” he reassured her. “And as for why this is happening, the doctor said it’s…”“Wait, what?” Danna turned in his arms to look at him. “You talked to my doctor?”Loan swallowed hard, not wanting her to take it the wrong way, but he had to do it.“I’m

CHAPTER 270. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Look at MeShe couldn’t even say it, but Loan’s response was to nudge her cheek with his nose like a puppy so she would look at him.“You’re not pregnant, and if you are, it’s mine.”“Loan…”“I’m not just saying it to calm you down, but I know that man didn’t do anything to you,” he said, and he felt her shudder. “I’m completely sure.”Danna looked at him intensely, and she could see that certainty in his expression, as if nothing could make him doubt.“How can you be so sure?” she asked, and he just smiled.“Because you would have run away from here by now,” Loan murmured, kissing her again. “You haven’t even noticed how we’re sitting; you’re just enjoying it.”He gave her body a mischievous look and moved his thumb over one of her small nipples, making her stifle a gasp of need.“See? That looked a lot like you want me to keep kissing you,” Loan murmured against her skin. “Don’t you want me to keep kissing you?”Danna just nodded and lifted hersel
