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
CHAPTER 236. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. What You Taught MeShe loved Loan, but she wasn’t willing to compromise when it came to her son’s safety. And if Loan was the kind to turn the other cheek, well… she wasn’t.The next two days passed quickly. She left Mauro with the nanny at Loan’s company, and he spent most of his time with the baby until Danna came to pick him up in the afternoon. If they exchanged two words, it was only to talk about their son, and Loan couldn’t deny that he missed being there with them, but he felt he had to do whatever he could to make Danna see reason.Finally, Saturday arrived, and the family gathered at the church for Mauro’s baptism. It was a sunny and joyful day, perfect for such a celebration. The small church was undoubtedly filled with happy people because the Keller family had many friends, and they had invited everyone.Mauro was solemnly baptized by the parish priest, who gave him words of blessing before pouring the holy water on his little head.Dan
CHAPTER 237. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The worst kind of predatorJhon was the first to pull out his phone, but Loan stopped him.“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, horrified. “The note says not to call the police...”“They all say that, Loan!” Jhon growled back. “But the last thing you should do is follow those orders. If you don’t want to involve the local police, fine. I’ve got my own people, but you can’t just sit around and do nothing.”Loan felt like the ground was opening beneath him. His heart pounded in his ears. Danna had been taken, kidnapped. His first thought was about Sibar and where the hell he was, but then he remembered he’d given the bodyguard the day off because he hadn’t rested in over a week, and Loan had planned to be with Danna to protect her.“Alright,” he murmured, letting Jhon go ahead with his call. Then he turned to his sister Noémi and pulled her aside. “We need five million urgently. Whatever we need to do, we have to have it ready.”“I’ll take care
CHAPTER 238. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Rescue“We have a call on the house landline. It seems to be Emil Landou,” he told them, and both men ran toward the living room.“Don’t give any information, just ask what he wants, how, when, and where. And ask for proof of life, ask to speak to Danna,” Jhon instructed before putting on headphones to listen through the tapped line.As soon as Loan picked up the phone, Emil Landou’s cold, raspy voice was heard.“Are you playing hard to get, Keller? Or do you just not care about the mother of your child?” he hissed venomously.Jhon signaled one of his men, who immediately began tracing the call.“What do you want, Emil?” Loan tried to stay calm.“Can’t you read?” the man snapped with disdain.“Yes, I can read, but I just wanted to confirm. Five million?” Loan asked, and Jhon gestured for him to keep talking to buy time for the trace.“Exactly, five million if you want your little woman back in one piece,” Emil growled with evident irritation.“I nee
