CHAPTER 189. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The Biggest SecretLoan stared at her, stunned. She looked tired and frail. She had lost a lot of weight, even though she was already slim. It was clear the past year had been hard on her. He hugged her tightly for a moment and then cupped her face in his hands. "Listen to me, Danna. We're going to get through this. You have to trust me." "But you don't know who the Winstons are... the power they have!" Loan smiled condescendingly and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "Oh, girl, you don’t know who I am either, do you?" Danna looked at him, confused, and Loan sighed. "Please, I want to see my son," he asked, his heart racing. "Can I?" Danna looked at him for a moment, then nodded, her eyes shining. "Yes, yes, of course you can. Let's go find him in the living room." Loan felt excitement swell inside him as Danna left the room to get the baby. He watched her walk down the hallway, feeling as if his heart might burst from the love he felt in t
CHAPTER 190. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. His greatest treasure"Is that why you faked your death?" Loan asked. "Yes... We waited for a shift change, and the doctor arranged everything. I was terrified of making the right decision because I didn’t know if I could raise him alone, but I guess my heart wouldn’t let me do anything else," she sighed. "The doctor also got me fake papers to start over..." "That’s why they know you as Leda," Loan realized. "Yes, that’s why... but it didn’t work out as I expected," the girl murmured sadly. "Why not?" "Because Olivia Winston recognized me as soon as she saw me. Apparently, she’s a big fan of figure skating and immediately realized I had fake papers. She gave me a job without saying anything and investigated me. When she found out there was a death certificate in my name..." Danna stifled her sobs and shook her head. "That’s why I can’t leave. She not only knows everything but..." Danna didn’t even dare to speak. "What, baby? You have to tell
CHAPTER 191. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Business and LiesDanna couldn't quite express how she felt—whether it was relief that Loan had found them or happiness that he hadn't doubted for a second that the baby was his. Hearing him say that he had enough money to pay off her debt had surprised her. She knew he wasn't exactly poor, but she had no idea he was that wealthy; the word "millionaire" hadn't even crossed her mind yet.It was an hour before dawn when her routine woke her up, and she saw Loan sitting there, his head and arms resting on the bed next to the baby, dozing in a tired half-sleep."Loan..." She gently stroked his hair, watching him wake up, disoriented."What's wrong? What time is it?" he asked, and Danna sat up in bed."It's five. I have to go to the kitchen to work.""But... what about the baby?" Loan asked, concerned, as it was still dark and very cold outside."I'll leave him with Lili," she replied.Loan watched as Danna took a few minutes to nurse the baby, and then
CHAPTER 192. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Enemy"Hey, Leda, since you were up there," the cook said, "did you hear if that man is finally going to buy the castle?"Danna froze."Huh? What are you talking about...?" she stammered. "Buy?""Yes, that man who arrived... Keller, I think his name is! The maids say he's here to buy the castle, and I really need to know if he's bringing his own staff because I don't want to lose my job," the man grumbled with concern."Don't worry..." Danna murmured with a reassuring gesture. "I really don't think Mr. Keller will leave us without work."But the truth was, she didn't know anything, and she spent the entire morning with her heart racing. Her gaze barely met Loan's as she served lunch, but an hour later, when she was finally removing her apron to go see her baby, a hand pulled her into the end of one of the hallways, and a second later, she was running after Loan as quietly as possible until they reached his room."Are you crazy? What are you doing?"
CHAPTER 193. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Almost CaughtHe was certain now, absolutely certain. Danna was right: Olivia Winston wouldn’t let her out of her sight for a moment because her secret was too big to risk Danna revealing it. If she had already been capable of killing her stepmother, a mere servant girl would mean nothing to her.He picked up the phone and dialed the only number where he knew he could get help at that moment. A rough, sleepy voice answered from the other side of the world.“Loan...?”“You were right,” was his greeting. “You were right when you told me to look into it, but now I need help.”Explaining what he needed to Jhon was simple, but he knew it couldn’t all be arranged immediately.“Give me a couple of days,” Jhon told him. “I’ll have everything ready by Saturday at the latest. But if things are as you said, better not push your luck—keep a low profile and try to stay on good terms with that woman.”Loan thanked him and hung up. A plan had formed in his mind, b
CHAPTER 194. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. One purposeHe took a hand from her hair and caressed her cheek, then slid his fingers down her neck, tracing the contours of her lips and chin. He was going to drive her to the brink of madness and beyond; he was going to make her moan with pleasure until she couldn’t take it anymore.As his hands moved delicately over her body, she began to tremble uncontrollably.“You want this as much as I do, don’t you?”Danna just nodded with her eyes closed and bit her lip when she felt his fingers exploring beneath her clothes. Yes, she wanted him just as much, but what they both wanted at that moment wasn’t exactly possible.He had just leaned down to kiss her when someone knocked loudly on the door.“Leda? Are you in there?” they heard Lili’s voice. “I saw the lady leave... Can I come in?”Loan quickly pulled away from her, but the desire still burned in him as he struggled to find the words to get out of this awkward situation. Danna looked at him, trembl
CHAPTER 195. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. An accidentThe party preparations started immediately, and Loan tried to see Danna throughout the day, but Olivia kept her busy, barely giving her enough time to nurse her baby. Loan's expression hardened at the situation; the helplessness was killing him, but he was far from imagining how far Olivia was willing to go.“Everyone out, now!” Mrs. Winston yelled as she stormed into the kitchen that afternoon. “You stay,” she hissed, glaring at Danna.Everyone left the kitchen, and Olivia turned to Danna.“From now on, you need to be clumsier,” Olivia said with cold determination. “Drop the dishes, make mistakes, do things wrong. You need to make sure Loan doesn’t want to keep you as an employee.”Danna understood the message immediately. Olivia was determined to wound her pride, but she would do whatever it took to get her out of there. Danna knew she couldn’t do anything; trying to fight Olivia was impossible.But Danna had no idea Olivia was willing
CHAPTER 196. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. This Hell Ends Today“That’s a lie,” Loan hissed as he entered and took her injured hand to remove the bandage. “Did that wretched woman do this to you? Tell me!”Danna swallowed hard and nodded.“She wanted me to be clumsier. When I didn’t meet her expectations, she pressed my hand against a boiling pot.”“F*cking witch!” Loan growled, feeling a surge of rage as he saw her red, blistered palm. “I swear I’ll kill her…”“Loan… We can’t confront her, not now,” Danna said with sadness and resignation.Loan looked at her intently, his teeth clenched in fury. He wanted to protect her, and if she had given up, he was far from doing so.“By this time tomorrow, I swear on our son that all our debts to Olivia Winston will be settled,” Loan said with determination. “Can you hold on for one more day?”He watched her nod with a serious and worried expression.“Yes, if it’s for you, I can.”Loan led her to the bathroom to wash her hand, and as he treated her bur
