The Divorce Prescription

Hailey looked at Declan and asked, "Declan, what's wrong?"

As she spoke, her small hand landed on his body. "You're burning up like a furnace..."

A dark red flame seemed to flicker in Declan's eyes, but he forced himself to stay

in control. He shouldn't have come looking for Hailey tonight, but he just couldn't help himself.

"I was drugged," he said hoarsely.

Hailey's long lashes fluttered as her eyes widened in shock. "You've been drugged again?"

She emphasized the word "again" because this wasn't the first time Declan had fallen victim to such a scheme.

"Who drugged you? Was it Stella's father?" Hailey guessed.

Declan gave a faint nod.

"Why would he drug you? Don't tell me he's trying to get you to sleep with Stella?"

Declan looked at her but said nothing.

Hailey let out a frustrated laugh and shot him a glare, unsure whether she should be angry or not.

"Declan, just look at all the trouble your charm brings you. You've got wealthy socialites and rich heiresses falling over themselves for you, and they'll stop at nothing to have you. They're even resorting to drugging you now."
