All Chapters of Enemies To Soulmates : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

DANNY When Maia first appeared at our hotel like some ghost from my past, I was genuinely surprised. Pleasantly surprised, if I was being honest. It was years since high school, and seeing her again brought back a flood of memories - most of them good. What I noticed immediately was how dismissive Kelly was about Maia's presence. The way she barely acknowledged her, the tight smile, the obvious discomfort. It was almost like Kelly was... threatened by her. And I'll be lying if I said that didn't please me on some level. When Maia suggested ice skating, I jumped at the chance. Sure, there was a time in school when I harbored feelings for her - what teenage boy hadn't been infatuated with a beautiful girl? But that crush burned out as quickly as it ignited. Still, we shared some genuinely good memories together, especially here in Hawaii. Those summer trips with Maia, her brother Finn, and our group of friends were some of the best times of my life. But as we made our way to t

KELLY The sound of screeching tires and slamming car doors shattered the peaceful atmosphere. I watched in disbelief as what appeared to be half of the island's law enforcement descended upon our innocent taxi like we were the most wanted criminals in the Pacific. "You've got to be kidding me," I muttered, raising my hands as armed officers emerged from their vehicles with the kind of intensity usually reserved for international drug cartels. "What is it with this place and dramatic arrests?" Danny stood frozen beside me, his mouth hanging open in a way that would have been comical if we weren't currently surrounded by enough firepower to level a small building. The poor taxi driver scrambled out of the car with tears already streaming down his weathered face, probably wondering what he'd done to deserve this cosmic joke. "What the hell is going on?" Danny shouted at the nearest officer, his voice cracking with a mixture of confusion and indignation. "Step away from the vehi

KELLY I looked at Danny as he pulled out his phone with the determined expression of someone who was about to call in serious favors. This whole situation was directly targeting him, and while I could have made some calls of my own, I figured it was better to let him handle his own battles. Plus, I was curious to see just how much influence the Knight family really wielded. "I don't know many people I could call for something like this," I told him. "But since Finn's grudge is specifically against you, maybe you should take the lead on this one." Danny nodded grimly and started scrolling through his contacts. I watched as he made the first call, his voice taking on a tone of authority I rarely heard from him. "Minister John? It's Danny Knight. I need a favor... Yes, sir, I know it's late, but this is urgent." I couldn't hear the other side of the conversation, but I could tell from Danny's increasingly confident posture that things were going his way. He made three more call

DANNY Kelly's voice was so full of genuine joy - more excited than I'd ever heard her sound - that it caught me completely off guard. When I turned to see what had caused such a reaction, I found her embracing a tall, well-built man in an expensive suit. Something uncomfortable twisted in my chest as I watched them hug. The man was handsome in that classic, all-American way - square jaw, perfect teeth, the kind of confident smile that probably made women swoon. He was about my height and build, though I obviously looked better than him. Still, seeing how familiar he was with Kelly, how naturally she fit against him in that embrace, made something burn inside me that I didn't want to examine too closely. I folded my arms and leaned against the reception counter, forcing myself to appear casual while I watched their reunion unfold. "Oh my God, this is such a surprise! Steve, what are you doing here?" Kelly was practically glowing with happiness. "I should be the one asking yo

KELLY Danny smiled at me as he took my hand from Steve's, but even I could see that Steve didn't look particularly pleased with Danny's slightly territorial approach. The polite smile on Steve's face had definitely cooled a few degrees. I rolled my eyes at Danny's possessive display and was about to ask him why he'd bothered showing up when he'd claimed to be too busy, but before I could get the words out, a stunning woman appeared beside us. And I mean stunning in a way that made me do a double-take. Even as a completely heterosexual woman, I found myself staring at her with something approaching awe. She was the kind of beautiful that made you wonder if she'd had some work done, because nobody's features could naturally be that perfectly symmetrical. Her skin was flawless porcelain, her bone structure could have been carved by Michelangelo, and her figure in that emerald green dress was the stuff of magazine covers. The woman's makeup was a work of art - eyes that somehow manage
