CHAPTER 228. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. You mean...?“You and I need to talk,” Emil rasped. “You and I have nothing to talk about,” a woman’s voice responded. “What the hell do you want, Emil?” “I want what you didn’t give me when I asked for it,” he replied. “Help me get it back... and I’ll make you so rich you’ll forget your own name.” An hour later, Emil Landau was packing his meager belongings from that seedy hotel and disappearing from the city without a trace. Loan, on the other hand, wasn’t entirely at ease. It hadn’t surprised him to discover the sick feelings Landau had for a girl who could have been his daughter, but the disgust was hard to shake. He drove to the office, but the truth was that he couldn’t concentrate on work. He felt dizzy and dreamed of a hot bath to wash away the filth he had just heard. So he picked up his son and announced that he would be leaving early. He needed to clear his mind, so he decided to go to the rink to watch Danna skate. When he arrived
CHAPTER 229. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Are you serious?Danna took a deep breath, her mind filled with unanswered questions. Her heart was pounding so hard that her ears hurt. Did she have enough courage to ask this? How would he react? Loan stood in front of her, looking at her with a curious expression. “Of course, Redhead, I’ll try to say yes,” he assured her. Danna licked her lips and swallowed, her heart in her throat. “Well... I wanted to know if you... well, if you... want to be my boyfriend?” she asked softly. Loan was taken aback, as if she were kicking him out instead of that. “Huh?” “Huh?” Danna blinked nervously, and Loan smiled. “Are you serious?” he murmured. “Do you think I’m the kind of person who would joke about that?” she protested. “No...! But I can’t believe it, why are you asking me that?” he asked cautiously. “Well... I really think we should try to have a relationship,” she said, looking him in the eyes. “And I’m not just saying that because of Mauro!
CHAPTER 230. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. To make amends“Everything indicates that he left Scotland,” Sibar told him almost ten days later. “He bought a train ticket and boarded it, but the truth is we can’t be sure; he could have gotten off anywhere.” “Then we stick to the original plan. Until we see that guy’s head pop up far from here, you’re still responsible for Danna’s security,” Loan declared. “Understood, sir.” That also meant that Loan would continue staying at Danna’s house. He had his own room there, but the truth was they always ended up sleeping together, even if it was on the couch. That particular day, Danna and Ted were putting the finishing touches on their routine, and everything seemed to be going wonderfully. She still hadn’t mastered the most dangerous jumps, but it was clear they were on the right track. The festival would feature excellent skaters from the entire region, but it wasn’t a competition; it was an exhibition. She was about to say goodbye to Ted and t
CHAPTER 231. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Help me...Danna skated away to the other side of the ice rink, and Loan tried to circle around to meet her, but Mrs. Ailsa's hand clutching his jacket stopped him.“Please... you’re her husband now, aren’t you?”“Not yet, we’re just dating,” Loan replied.“It’s the same. You were searching for her high and low, while I didn’t,” the woman said, her voice anguished. “I know it’ll be hard for Danna to forgive me, but please, just listen. I don’t want to be away from my daughter and my grandson; that would break my heart once and for all.”Loan took a deep breath and nodded. “I understand, but I’m afraid this isn’t the best time to pressure Danna.”“I know. Honestly, there will never be a good time to bother her, but please, help me... Maybe I can talk to her, explain... I’m really desperate! I love my daughter, and I made mistakes, but I love her more than anything in the world. She’s the only family I have left.”He pressed his lips together. Being i
CHAPTER 232. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Danna!Loan continued to his office and wasn’t surprised to find Ailsa already waiting for him.“Mr. Keller...” she greeted, shaking his hand before entering the office and sharing a long story of regret and lamentations. “You can’t tell me your mother has never made a mistake,” she murmured, crying. “All mothers do unspeakable things for the happiness of their children, and I made a mistake, I admit it, but only because I thought I was doing what was best for her. She was just a child, for God’s sake! With another child in her arms! She was going to lose everything she’d worked for, her entire future... I didn’t want that for her; I didn’t want her to end up like me, serving tables or cleaning the rich people’s shit in their luxury homes!”Loan sighed because as much as he hated to admit it, that was exactly what Danna had ended up doing.“Mrs. Frasier, I really want to help you, but I don’t know how. Danna is very hurt, and rightfully so, and she’
CHAPTER 233. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. It’s not your situation to manageLoan looked at Danna with concern. She was sitting in a chair while Ailsa was literally crying at her feet, sobbing uncontrollably. Her body shook as tears streamed down her cheeks."Danna!"That name was enough for their eyes to meet, and Loan only saw a deep anger in them, one he didn’t like at all. Ted and Roux quickly disappeared, as it was clear this was a family conflict, and Ailsa stood up hurriedly."I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn’t mean to bother... I saw you got hurt and just wanted to help...""I don’t need your help. Please leave," Danna growled in a more controlled tone, though her words came out through clenched teeth."Danna, don’t treat her like that. Can’t you let your mother help you just this once?" Loan scolded, but after her initial surprise, the redhead just shot him a murderous look.Ailsa lifted her face toward Loan, her eyes pleading."Please, don’t fight with her... It’s all my fault! I was
CHAPTER 234. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. I Won’t Miss It for Anything!"Where’s my son?""Danna took him," Milo replied."Took him...? What do you mean...? She left?" he asked incredulously."She said you were busy with someone and that she was leaving with Lissa," his brother answered. "Just so you know, she seemed pretty upset.""Yeah, well, now there’s two of us!" Loan growled as he got into the car and drove as fast as he could to the house.He saw the bodyguard’s car parked across the street and at least felt relieved knowing they were safe."Danna?" he called as he knocked on the door, which she opened a moment later, already in her pajamas and ready for bed.She stepped aside to let him in, and he took a deep breath to deal with his frustration."You could have waited for me," he scolded. "I was worried sick.""You could have supported me," she retorted. "It seems neither of us was in the mood to back each other up tonight."Loan ran a hand through his hair."I’m not taking Ailsa’s
CHAPTER 235. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. I don’t want her aroundDanna raised her head when she heard the knocks on the wood and crossed the room with determined steps towards the front door. She knew it was Loan knocking because no one else would arrive at that hour.She had been trying to avoid him for days, as her mother kept showing up at the rink, and whenever Loan arrived, she would flutter around him like a happy butterfly, without him doing anything to push her away. They had barely spoken since then because Danna had remained firm in her decision not to trust Ailsa again.Danna took a deep breath before reaching the door handle, and when she opened it, there he was, standing in front of her with his hands still tucked into the pockets of his jacket.“Hi,” he murmured when he saw her.“Hi,” she replied without smiling. She simply stepped aside to let him in. “Mauro is already asleep. You can go up and see him.”He nodded and went up the stairs while Danna returned to the sofa, list
