That important figure wasing soon, and Den didn''t even know if he would survive. Right now, he couldn''t promise Hailey anything.


    Den knew he was being selfish. He couldn''t give her anything, yet he still held her tightly in his arms. He was terrified of losing her.


    Hailey reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Den, you''re mine. Do you hear me?"


    This was Hailey''s possessiveness over him.


    Den cupped the back of her head and kissed her red lips.


    The kiss was brief, and he soon pulled away. Hailey nestled obediently in his arms.


    "Hailey, go to sleep," Den murmured.


    Hailey was indeed feeling sleepy. She closed her eyes and drifted off.


    When Hailey woke up, Den was already gone. The high school entrance exams had begun, and Hailey escorted Aileen to the exam hall. The first day went smoothly, and Aileen estimated that she had scored close to a perfect mark.


    Den had been the top scorer in the province during his exams years ago, and Aileen was just like her brother. Hailey hadplete faith in her.


    The next day, Hailey dropped Aileen off again and waited outside.


    Suddenly, a sleek sports car roared up. The driver''s door swung open, and out stepped Ewan.


    Ewan rushed over to Hailey. "Hailey, why are you still here?"


    Hailey barely spared him a nce. "I''m waiting for Aileen to finish her exam. This is an exam hall-no loud noises or unnecessary people allowed. Please leave."


    Ewan wasn''t offended by her coldness. Instead, he smirked. "You''re treating Den''s little sister so well, but do you even know what Den is doing right now? You''re such a fool!"


    This wasn''t the first time Ewan hade to stir up trouble, and Hailey was immune to it by now. She didn''t even look up. "Ewan, what are you trying to say now? That Den is at the casino? Fine, I get it. Stop


    talking."


    Ewan let out a sharpugh. "Hailey, Den isn''t at the casino. Why don''t you take


    a wild guess where he is?"


    Hailey nced at him. "Whatever you''re trying to say, I don''t want to hear it. Please leave."


    Ewan stared at her. "Hailey, don''t you really want to know? Well, I''m going to tell


    you anyway. Today is Den''s big day!"


    "Big day?" Hailey frowned. "What do you mean?"


    "Den is marrying Ste today!"


    His words nearly made Hailey''s ears


    explode in shock. She shot to her


    feet, staring at Ewan in disbelief.


    vel


    "Ewan, what nonsense are you spouting? How could Den


    possibly be marrying Ste?bget


    it you''re making up rumors again. I won''t believe you."


    She turned to leave.


    However, Ewan stepped in front of her. "If you think I''m lying, why don''t I take you there and show you?"


    Hailey took a step back. "No. I don''t want to go."


    Ewan hesitated. "Hailey..."


    Hailey covered her ears with her hands. "Enough! I don''t want to hear another word!"


    Ewanughed mockingly. "Hailey, look at how weak you are. You''re scared, aren''t you? You''re afraid that Den and Ste are really getting married!"


    With that, Ewan grabbed Hailey''s slender arm. "Running away won''t solve anything. The more you''re afraid, the more I want you to see it with your own eyes. Come with me!"
