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
CHAPTER 197. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Promise me!Loan had a feeling that something wasn’t right. He couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was, but there was something in the air. A negative energy lingered in the room, something he couldn’t explain. Considering that Olivia Winston was present, that was saying a lot.It was supposed to be a night of luxury and joy, but he noticed Olivia was more excited than usual. Danna, on the other hand, had tried to avoid her all day. Her hand hurt terribly, but she didn’t dare take any strong painkillers that might cloud her mind. Still, she ended up doing exactly what Olivia wanted.Things slipped from her hands uncontrollably because the pain made it nearly impossible to close her fingers, and every time Loan heard Olivia scold her, he felt like he was going to explode.Olivia shouted at Danna with barely restrained fury, ensuring everyone else heard it clearly.“You think you’re so clever? Can’t you do anything right? You’re so clumsy and awkward!” sh
CHAPTER 198. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Under arrestShe nodded, trying to dry her tears, but finally, she placed the small bag on the bed and left. Loan watched her for a long moment before finally placing the bag in his suitcase without opening it. They were probably very precious memories for Danna, and he wanted her to share them with him by her own choice, not in a desperate moment.He went down to the grand hall, and the evening began.Many guests arrived at the party, all dressed in their finest attire, and Olivia introduced Loan to the crème de la crème of Scottish nobility. From time to time, she would invite him to dance, but he politely declined, causing her to grow increasingly irritated.Finally, Olivia seemed to reach her limit and approached him directly.“I think it would be rude of you not to dance with me,” she hissed, noticing his rejection beneath Loan’s forced smile.“I don’t think so. And in any case, I don’t care, Olivia. I’m here to buy your house, not to be your d
CHAPTER 199. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. In trouble"Olivia Winston, you are under arrest for the murder of Myrna Winston, the former Countess of Winston."Olivia's face changed in an instant upon hearing those words.“What?! What are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?” But there was more frustration than surprise in her expression.The Count stepped forward, disbelief written all over his face, and addressed the officer.“This must be a mistake! The Countess left me and—”“We have substantial reasons to believe that the Countess of Winston is dead, not missing as previously assumed,” the agent declared. “And all statements point towards Mrs. Olivia Winston.”Olivia tried to resist the officers, but one of them finally managed to restrain her and put the handcuffs on. The old Count shook his head in disbelief.“No… this can’t be true. So, she…?”“She was murdered,” the officer stated. “And according to our witnesses, your daughter is our prime suspect.”The Count looked at her, bu
CHAPTER 200. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. A Signed Confession“Yes, Lili, I am his father. I’ll take care of him from now on,” he declared before handing her a card with his name and number. “Thank you for all the help you’ve given Leda. If you ever need anything, you can always contact us.”He let the girl say goodbye to the baby and quickly left. Bryson was already waiting in the car, and no one stopped them as they exited the property.“You owe me a six percent commission on five million dollars,” Bryson grumbled, though deep down he was relieved to be leaving the cursed Winston castle. “You’ll owe me something like that for the rest of your life.”Loan smiled as he kissed his baby’s head.“No problem. I have to sell my bachelor pad in Zurich and buy a home worthy of my family, so you’ll get a much bigger commission than from the haunted castle,” he declared.“Great, then I’ll invite myself to your house in a month,” Bryson smiled and sped off into the darkness, heading towards the neares
CHAPTER 201. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. NightmareDanna trembled uncontrollably. The document before her seemed incredibly important, and she didn’t know the man standing in front of her.“What is this?” she asked nervously, wiping away her tears.“It’s exactly what it says, an Immunity Agreement,” said the agent. “All charges against you will be dropped in exchange for your testimony against Olivia Winston. We just found Lady Myrna Winston’s body where you said it would be, so this is your chance—either you can be a witness or an accomplice, your choice.”Danna looked back and forth between the paper and the agent, unsure of what to do.“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t know you… and this seems too good to be true!” she exclaimed. “Are you saying that everything I did will just be erased if I testify against Olivia?”“No, not just because of that. You also gave us a key lead that helped us find the body in a murder case, and you did it without negotiating anything in retur
CHAPTER 202. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. TrustHer curiosity was understandable, given that Olivia Winston was supposedly rich.“Apparently, the Count refused to pay for a high-profile lawyer for her. In fact, he didn’t even agree to pay for a cheap one, so she was assigned a public defender, but she literally threw a chair at him, and now she has no lawyers,” the officer explained.“Well, no wonder,” replied the other. “The poor Count was there when they pulled his wife’s body out of the water. He spent a year denying her, only to find out she’d been dead the whole time.”They continued talking about it as they got into the car. The vehicle started up and began its journey. As the patrol car drove through the city streets, Danna began to imagine what she would find when she got there: the cold hallways and barred cells, the guards pacing back and forth. She could barely hold back her tears, but it was no use; she only hoped that Loan would manage to come for her eventually.They left the
CHAPTER 203. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Temporary homeThe plane landed in Switzerland, and Loan and Danna stepped out into the fresh morning air. She held her little one snuggled against her chest, peacefully sleeping. Loan gently placed a hand on her hip and guided her to the car that was already waiting for them.“Come on, redhead, let’s go home,” he murmured wearily.At that hour, the city was buzzing with cars, but the driver navigated through the traffic with ease until they arrived at a building in the upscale downtown area.They reached an imposing apartment building, and Loan took her up the elevator to the penthouse, where he pulled out a key and opened the door. Danna felt like she was stepping into a different world. Everywhere she looked, there were expensive chandeliers, luxurious rugs, and gleaming marble. She hadn’t been poor, but the living room of that apartment was literally the size of the entire house she had grown up in.“Welcome to our temporary home,” he murmured,
