Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

"Shut up."

Grant's forehead was slick with sweat. He needed to focus completely; even a tiny mistake could change everything. Maddie stayed quiet, feeling the tension in the air. Grant finished with the needles, removing them one by one. Chloe stayed unconscious, even after the last needle was pulled from her brow. Maddie couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't she waking up?"

Grant carefully put the needles away and replied, "She'll be in a coma for three days. When she wakes up, she won't remember a thing." With that, he lifted Chloe into his arms. "The rest is on you. Set everything up-don't let me down again." He carried Chloe out, heading for the rooftop where a helicopter was waiting.

Maddie followed, and behind her was another woman, bound tightly and dressed in a hospital gown. At a glance, she looked just like Chloe-same build, face, even hairstyle. Maddie turned to Grant and asked, "Are you really okay with destroying everything you've worked on?"

Grant gave her a sharp look. "If anyone notices something's off, you're jumping off here." Maddie went silent at his words. Grant added, "Wait until Connor shows up before you push her. I want to see how he reacts when the woman he loves dies in front of him."

Grant stayed icy and calm. Maddie said nothing more, just nodded. The bound woman cried and pleaded, but Grant didn't even glance her way. He looked at Chloe in his arms, his expression softening just a bit.

Grant got into the helicopter, taking the controls himself. Maddie knew he planned to take Chloe somewhere no one could find three days, she'd show up in Manhattan with a whole new identity. She'd be Grant's secret lover, or maybe more-maybe they'd have a secret wedding.

But soon, Maddie sensed something was wrong. The helicopter, shortly after takeoff, started to tilt wildly, then veered sharply before plummeting. Something was definitely off!

On the other side, the helicopter crashed into a massive sycamore tree, tumbling to the ground and sending up thick smoke. Luckily, it happened in a deserted botanical garden.

Five minutes earlier, after takeoff, Grant had been flying smoothly. But then, Chloe, placed in the back seat, unexpectedly sat up and attacked him. Caught off guard, Grant hadn't expected her to wake up. Chloe fought fiercely, like she wanted them both to crash.

In that moment, Grant realized she hadn't lost her memory. She wanted to take him down with her. He couldn't figure out why the acupuncture hadn't worked. Because of Chloe's fierce struggle, the helicopter spun out of control and crashed into the sycamore.
