CHAPTER 257. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Maybe when the scars fade...Danna was in shock, maybe even beyond that. Ailsa was dead. Loan had shot her to find her. There was no one left to fear, and yet... yet Danna knew it would be a long time before she could truly smile again.She finished packing her suitcase, and Chiara and Jhon drove them to the airport. The whole family was there to see them off... except for Loan.Danna looked around, knowing the only reason he wasn't there smothering his son with kisses was to avoid bothering her. But it didn't take long for her to notice his SUV parked at the back of the hangar."I'm going to board first," she told Luana, handing Mauro to her and heading up the plane.A minute later, she saw Loan arrive and hold Mauro to say goodbye. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she saw him cry as he kissed his son on the head and glanced at the airplane door as if struggling with himself not to board."I’ll try to arrange for you to come as soon as
CHAPTER 258. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Hello"Tell me something. Do you know how to get home by yourself?" the woman asked.Danna thought about it for a moment. She didn’t know the city very well, but it wasn’t so big that she would get lost."Yes, I suppose I do.""Then take a long walk. Walk. Breathe. Take a scenic route on your way back, and let’s see if the exhaustion helps you sleep a little," the doctor suggested.Danna obeyed. By the time she got back home, her hips ached from walking so much, but the fatigue didn’t help her sleep any better. She didn’t want to have nightmares, but closing her eyes meant seeing Emil’s horrible face again or reliving the spasms in her body as she suffocated. Contrary to what one might think, that was one of her better nightmares."Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that Emil Landou was actually your father?" the doctor asked almost a week later. "I mean, you didn’t just kill anyone. You killed your father."Danna almost rolled her eye
CHAPTER 259. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Dirty FeetThat "Hello" made Loan's heart race, almost making him run around the house. When he read the message telling him he could come see Mauro, he just jumped into his car and drove like crazy, not caring that he hadn't packed a suitcase or anything else. Only when he was entering Lucerne did he realize she had written "weekend," and there were still five days to go.He pouted. He didn't want to intrude on her recovery, but he didn't want to leave either. So he found a cabin to rent and stayed there, just five minutes away from the people he loved most in the world. But he had to have the self-control to wait until it was his time without overwhelming her.He just hoped she would feel better, but unfortunately, that hope was far from being fulfilled. That night, Danna stared intently at the bottle of pills. She wanted to sleep, but she didn't want to sleep so deeply that she wouldn't hear her baby if he cried. Finally, she put the pill back in
CHAPTER 260. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. You need to come right now!There wasn’t much at the top, but it was simply perfect to be there.Danna looked around and saw a couple of sporting goods shops, several small training rooms for young children, and a cozy little restaurant.She was on her way to buy a hot coffee when something in front of one of the doors caught her eye: a small sign announcing they were looking for employees."Hello," she said, pushing the door open. "Hello?""Back here," a man’s voice was heard, and Danna hesitated for a long moment before peeking through a small door to see a large storage room behind it.Out came a man about six feet tall, burly, very blond, and with gray eyes."Hi. How can I help you?" he asked with a friendly smile. "Did you see something you like in the shop?""No, actually, I’m here about the sign saying you’re hiring," Danna said. "I... well, I need a job."The man looked at her curiously. She looked very thin and fragile, so he ended up shaki
CHAPTER 261. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. AsleepLoan jumped out of bed, getting dressed while rushing to the living room. He put on his shoes and left the house without even taking a moment to think. He only knew that if his mother was calling him at this hour, something must have happened with Danna or his son. His heart was pounding as he sped toward his parents' house.When he arrived, he found his mother at the door, looking toward the street with an expression of anguish. Loan’s hope that it wasn't something serious vanished when he saw his mother’s face."What’s wrong, Mom?" Loan asked anxiously as he reached her."We can’t find Danna," Luana said with a sigh. "Mauro cried early in the morning for his bottle. Usually, Danna picks him up right away, but when I realized the baby wasn’t calming down, I went to check. When I gave him the bottle, I thought maybe the pills the doctor gave her made her sleep deeply, but when I went to her room, she wasn't there."Loan loosened the drawstrin
CHAPTER 262. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Down a mountain?"Good morning, boss," she greeted cheerfully as she entered the store, and Levi burst into laughter."Boss? Me? I'm not even the boss in my own household!" he replied. "But go ahead, boost my ego because it's proven no one else will. Shall we start?""Of course. Oh, boss, the impressive, the fearsome...!""Get to work, Danna! I meant, get to work!" Levi laughed, and a few minutes later, he was teaching her all the basics related to the store.In the end, they didn’t even need to divide the duties because they were both absolutely responsible. Wherever there was something disorganized, the first one to see it would fix it.Danna felt comfortable, and Levi’s lighthearted and friendly demeanor helped a lot. However, standing for so long was going to take a toll on her.She let out an uncomfortable groan when a bad movement reminded her of the pain in her hip, and a few meters away, Levi looked up."Are you okay?" he asked, and Danna im
CHAPTER 263. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Painful memoriesBefore Luana could react, Loan grabbed a blanket from the living room chest and ran after Danna. He could have stopped her right there, woken her up, but a special curiosity drove him. She could do anything, yet her subconscious was pushing her outside.He followed her from a distance, not getting too close for fear of waking her. Finally, after several laps around the garden, they reached the edge of the forest again. Loan looked around, scanning the dark, cold landscape that stretched out before him, but Danna seemed perfectly comfortable.Suddenly, he saw her head toward a nearby tree, lying down on the enormous pile of reddish leaves at its base. She was deeply asleep, her breathing deep and regular.Loan sat on the ground, trying to understand what made her return to the same place. He slowly approached and covered her with the blanket before she started to shiver from the cold. He carefully wrapped her up and cradled her again
CHAPTER 264. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Who the hell is her boss?!He thanked the doctor and left in a hurry, heading straight to the governor’s office.Meanwhile, high on the mountain, Danna was looking horrified at her boss, who was placing skis in front of her.“Sit down so I can adjust them,” he ordered.“Noooo, no, no, no…” she replied, and Levi pointed to the slope they would be going down. It wasn’t very steep and looked safe.“But… but…”“No buts. I’m an excellent skier, and I teach small children. With your size, you almost fit into that category.”Danna pouted three times, but no one paid attention to her protests as Levi adjusted the skis and gave her the first instructions.“Keep your knees bent, feet apart, and back straight,” he explained.“But what if I fall?” she asked, worried.“Don’t worry, it’s a given that you’ll fall. But if you’re going too fast, just sit your butt down in the snow. The only way to learn is by practicing, so take the risk. Besides, I’m here with you,
