CHAPTER 207. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Call your managerDanna felt her heart pounding in her ears. Her mouth had gone dry, and her face burned. She had experienced many authoritative tones before and, while she understood why he was doing it, she didn’t like it. She took a deep breath before opening the door and stepping into the store.The same woman from before was there, attending to a distinguished-looking customer. As soon as she saw Danna enter, her friendly demeanor vanished, and she strode over to confront her, furious that she had dared to return.“What are you doing here?” she exclaimed, her voice sharp. “I already asked you to leave the store.”“I just want to buy something,” Danna replied firmly but without raising her voice. “You can’t treat people like this. I’m here to purchase something and would like to look at a few things before deciding what I like…”“Buy something? How about you show me the money first, so I don’t waste my time?” the woman sneered, eyeing her with d
CHAPTER 208. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Business is businessAfter ten seconds, he smiled.“Miki…” he greeted. “Same here… Yeah, one of these days… Hey, I’m calling because I’m having problems with two members of the staff at one of your stores… the one at Plaza Stavros… Yes, the manager and an employee, Kirha…” Reading her name tag, he stepped closer to the employee who had mistreated Danna. “Tell me your last name,” he demanded, but in response, the woman pressed her lips together. “Tell me your damn last name or I swear, the next time you look down on someone, it’ll be while selling teapots and rugs at a market stall in Bangladesh!”The woman shrank in on herself and finally opened her mouth.“Knitgale, Kirha Knitgale,” she murmured.“The manager and Kirha Knitgale,” Loan repeated. “I think you’re going to need to send them an intensive course on how to treat customers politely and not judge them by the clothes they’re already wearing, because the idea is for them to buy yours.”Appare
CHAPTER 209. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. A very domineering saviorThe private flight to Lucerne wasn't exhausting, and meeting the Keller family was undoubtedly a wonderful experience. Loan's parents, Nikola and Luana, were overjoyed with their new grandson, the aunts immediately started spoiling him, the uncles were thrilled with the first boy in the family, and his little cousin Adriana, who was less than a year older than Mauro, got along great with the babies.The Keller family was special, and they didn't let a second go by without making her feel not only welcomed but also loved and appreciated.Of course, Loan didn’t leave her side for even a moment, as if he wanted to make up for all the cravings he had missed during her pregnancy."Well, have you sorted out the legal situation for my grandson? He's the first stallion who will help carry on the family name," Nikola said with a dangerous smile. "I want him to be called Keller."Danna hadn’t thought about that, but before she could
CHAPTER 210. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. That's Not LoveLoan tried to respond, but the truth was that no, he hadn’t asked her any of those things. And of course, Danna wasn’t just a trophy in his life; he just didn’t want anyone to hurt her again."Well... fine! I’m being overprotective, I admit it!" he said with a heavy sigh. "But that doesn’t mean there isn’t something between us, Mom, because there is."Luana took his hand and patted it gently."Yes, son, there is. But at least for now, it’s only on your side," she said. "I know you don’t want to hear this, but you need to understand. You took Danna out of the worst situation of her life. You gave her and your son a home, and I’m sure she feels grateful and obligated because of that. But most of all, she must feel dependent—she’s in a foreign country, without a job, without a home of her own, without money. And on top of that, she’s with a good man who pampers and protects her and her son. Right now, if you tell her to ‘wag her tail,’
CHAPTER 211. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Are You in Love with Me?"Are you in love with me?" It seemed like a simple question, but it wasn't.Danna remained silent for a moment, trying to analyze her feelings. She knew Loan cared for her and was a good father to Mauro, but she couldn't pretend something that wasn't true.Finally, she answered with a sigh, "I really like you, Loan, I really do..."Loan nodded sadly and let go of her hand. "That’s not what I asked, but I guess I got my answer..." he murmured."You’re not in love with me either," she said more firmly than Loan expected. "Don't fool yourself. You're caught up in everything that's happened, but you can’t be in love with someone you don't know... and we don’t know each other. Until a week ago, I didn’t even know your last name, and you...""I knew a bit more about you," Loan interrupted her. "I’ve been following you at the tournaments... but you’re right, it’s not enough."Danna spoke sincerely; he could see it in her clear eyes
CHAPTER 212. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Or not!Danna bit her lower lip, hesitating."Just Mauro and me?""Just Mauro and you," Loan confirmed. He kissed her on the head and picked up Mauro to give her some space to focus on choosing.Danna looked through all the photos. There were mansions and relatively medium-sized houses, but none were small. After much deliberation, she approached the bedroom and heard him talking on the phone."Thanks, sis. Yeah, for tomorrow... well, if Danna wants to go tomorrow, then we’ll go tomorrow, just have the documents ready just in case. Okay?"Danna knocked on the slightly open door, and Loan turned towards her, gesturing for her to come in while he finished talking."Yes, perfect... love you, take care."He hung up the call, and Danna put a hand on her hip."Who are you cheating on me with, Keller?" she joked, pretending to be jealous."With Noémi. I’m asking her to help with the documents to recognize Mauro’s paternity, and we also need to get your res
CHAPTER 213. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Then I’ll stay…Most people had to go through endless bureaucratic procedures, but a Keller just had to say, "I want this," and three hours later, they’d be handed the keys to the house. There wasn’t even a need to buy furniture because everything was already there.“There’s not much to bring anyway,” Danna smiled. “Just my things and the baby’s.”“And we need to buy a crib,” Loan reminded her. “Since I’m staying in the apartment, I’d rather leave the one we have there for when you want to stay over.”Danna nodded, and soon after, they were entering a furniture store. They went straight to the crib section, admiring various designs and colors. Loan watched her with a contagious smile, waiting for her to find something she liked. Finally, Danna pointed to a modern blue crib with white stars carved into the sides.“It’s perfect!” Loan agreed. “I’ll ask them to deliver it assembled.”Danna shook her head slightly. “Wait… what if we assemble it at home?
CHAPTER 214. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Agreements“You remembered!” Loan exclaimed, grabbing a spoon.“It turns out everything in the fridge was for display, but it wasn’t fake, and the ice cream is delicious,” Danna said, digging into the dessert.“I can imagine… maybe one of these days, we’ll use it for its intended purpose again,” Loan murmured, smiling to himself and not looking up because he knew she was blushing.It wasn’t hard to recall the things he’d done with ice cream and chocolate syrup… and they had all been good!He heard her cough briefly but kept eating until Danna’s voice suddenly turned serious.“Loan… do you really want more?”He looked into her eyes with an expression that wavered between determination and calmness.“Yes, I do,” he answered without hesitation. “I like you a lot, Danna, it’s always been that way from the first moment, and I know it was the same for you… it still is. You’re right, we don’t know each other well, but we have plenty of time to change that,
