CHAPTER 289. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. I said “Little”The Sound and Lighting guys already had everything set up but arrived early to make sure everything was perfect.Loan looked around with a mysterious smile.“It all turned out great, redhead. You did a wonderful job,” he praised.“Do you like it? It’ll be a nightmare to take down all the decorations later, but it was definitely worth it,” she assured him.“There’s just one thing missing to make it perfect,” Loan said, and Danna watched as he revealed a pair of skates he had hidden behind his back.“Loan…”“Do you want to be the first to break in the ice with me?” he asked. “It would mean so much to me.”Danna smiled as she sat on a bench and let him put on her skates. Then the two of them stepped onto the rink, holding hands and gliding slowly. She looked up as the lights dimmed, and a soft, seductive melody began to play. When she looked back at Loan, she nearly gasped as she saw him kneeling at her feet, holding a small box with a
CHAPTER 290. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. A huge problemDanna woke up before sunrise. The morning light began to shine through the walls, bathing the room in its glow.She looked down and saw Loan sleeping on the living room couch on the first floor. She had missed him all night, but he had insisted that they should honor all the traditions, and tradition dictated that the bride and groom shouldn't sleep together the night before their wedding.She jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to give him his good morning kiss. All the wedding preparations were done; they just needed to show up and repeat what they had already said to each other a thousand times: that they would love each other forever."Hey, handsome..." she whispered in his ear as she straddled him. "We have a huge problem."Loan heard the word "problem" and immediately sat up."What happened? Are you having second thoughts? Don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts, or I’ll drop dead right here, redhead!"Danna smiled, wrappin
CHAPTER 291. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. To love you…—You’re going to drive me crazy. Why can’t I ever say no to you? Huh? —Loan whispered.—Because I’m the love of your life?—Ah! That’s it! I knew it was something like that!They laughed together, and after a shower, they left the house hand in hand, heading to Loan's parents' house.When they arrived, they saw his mom and sisters running around, preparing the final details. The Keller home was being transformed to welcome the wedding guests, and happiness filled the air.They spent a long time playing with Mauro before giving him a bath and dressing him in his little suit. Afterward, Loan and Danna said their goodbyes for a while.As she got ready to put on her dress, Luana lovingly did her hair to calm her nerves. Danna was very grateful to her because, ever since she had come into her life, Loan's mother had treated her as if she were her own daughter.—There, you’re beautiful, my dear —she said, placing the last flower in her hair—.
CHAPTER 292. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The Desperate Beginning of a Story**Five Months Later**Danna started having contractions at dawn. The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon when Loan heard her moan."Love? Love, are you okay?""No... it hurts, I think the baby’s coming," she murmured with a sigh, and he immediately got up.In a matter of minutes, he was ready. He helped Danna to the car and then settled Mauro into his seat in the back."We're going to get your little sister, sweetheart," Danna smiled at her little boy, and shortly after, they dropped him off with his grandparents while they continued to the hospital.The drive was a blur of lights, roads, and the occasional tree. Loan kept glancing at Danna every few minutes, making sure she was okay and offering words of encouragement whenever she felt pain. The contractions were coming more frequently, and Loan could see Danna tense up with each one. His heart ached, wishing he could do something to make the pain go a
CHAPTER 293. A NAUGHTY GIRL. PREFACEWidowed and with a two-month-old baby in his arms, with his career on hold and his dream shattered, Levi Ferguson learned his lesson: he doesn’t want a wife, doesn’t want a girlfriend, and doesn’t even want a mother for his child. He wants nothing to do with relationships that could leave his life worse than it already is. That’s why finding a girl with the same demons is so satisfying. She has no time to be a mother, wife, or girlfriend. She’s a businesswoman who’s only looking for hours of pleasure, and he’s willing to give her that and more. The only condition? Don’t bring your heart into the bedroom. The first one to fall in love, loses. After all, no one can get hurt when there’s no love... right?PREFACELevi Ferguson had a dream and the determination to make it happen. At twenty-nine, he was an expert skier and loved teaching. He was always among the top in championships and had undergone surgery on both hands due to Stener lesions, or Skie
CHAPTER 294. A NAUGHTY GIRL. That MouthLevi was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he felt for the blonde woman standing before him. He was certain he had put all of that behind him, sure he would never feel this way again. He was convinced he had learned his lesson and could stay away from women like her. After all, they only brought complications. But his eyes drifted downward without his control, drawn to the line where her breasts met, with a bead of sweat running between them. And Levi realized he would have given anything to lick it off.His reaction was instinctive: he yelled at her.Hers was better: she put him in his place so effectively that Levi spent the next hour with his son’s bassinet on his lap because there was no way to hide that erection.Half the time, he closed his eyes, and the other half, he seethed just imagining that every man in the store wanted to do exactly what he did to her.“Are you happy?” he growled when the store was finally empty.“Almost happy,” sh
CHAPTER 295. A NAUGHTY GIRL. So Well-Built!Noémi took a deep breath in front of the door. She had gone to the store the previous day just to put the idiot boss of Danna in his place after he had called her a "much older woman." The problem was that the idiot had a voice and presence strong enough to silence all the men in that store, and when she had gotten close to him, Noémi realized that he already had everything... in its place.She had enjoyed watching him get annoyed whenever she flirted with one of the customers, and she couldn’t help but marvel at how his eyes lit up when he smiled. Something about him drew her in, and she didn’t know what it was, but she did know that Levi Ferguson felt the same. He hadn’t stopped looking at her while selling the merchandise, and she could almost smell his jealousy when she kissed the guy who bought the snowmobile from them.“What kind of trouble are you getting yourself into, Noémi,” she grumbled to herself as she rode up the mountain on t
CHAPTER 296. A NAUGHTY GIRL. A lady’s place“When they’re this small, warmth, familiar smells, and the sound of your heartbeat calm them down,” she murmured, gently stroking the baby. She leaned in to kiss his head, and Levi stopped breathing when her lips accidentally brushed against his chest.Peter fell asleep immediately, and she put her coat back on, heading for the door.“Fatherhood suits you, Boss,” she smiled with a wink. “You look very… delicious.”Levi almost choked on his own tongue as she walked out laughing, and a second later, he admitted it to himself: he liked that woman. A lot.But that didn’t change the fact that they were on opposite sides of the board. She was the queen, and he was just another pawn in the game.He took a deep breath, knowing he might never see her again, but that didn’t stop him from thinking about her that night while he was doing laundry with the dirty sheets.And he couldn’t stop. Damn, he couldn’t stop! Her laughter echoed in his ears, and he
