Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

The car door swung open, and someone quickly stepped out. "Chloe, what's happened to you?" Chloe collapsed into the person's arms. She tried to lift her head, squinting until the familiar face came into focus. But she just couldn't place him. "Who are you?" Regardless of his identity, Chloe managed to say, "Please, take me home. My husband is... Bo... Bo..." The rest slipped her mind. The man steadied her. "Let's talk in the car. I'll take you to the hospital first." Once inside, Chloe passed out completely.

Meanwhile, across town, Maddie sensed something was off. She ditched her original plan and made a call, rallying a team to head straight to the plane crash site. After setting things in motion, she was about to leave when she spotted Connor and Isaac driving up. They noticed her too, and their car screeched to a halt right in front of her. Connor could see the anxiety and guilt all over Maddie's face. He knew something was wrong.noveldrama

To Connor, Maddie was still an old friend. Five years ago, they had been close partners. Back then, he trusted no one more than her and Teddy. But since his near-death experience, and knowing she was now linked with Grant, his feelings were complicated. Connor stepped out of the car. "Amelia, what's going on? Why do you look so panicked?"

Maddie, true to her adaptable nature, usually handled things with ease. Despite her seemingly jaded outlook, she had a laid-back acceptance of life's uncertainties. Connor had never seen her looking so pale and frightened. Not wasting any time, Amelia said, "Something's happened." With a sense of urgency, she added, "Come with me." She jumped into Connor and Isaac's car. "Drive."

With Amelia directing, they quickly reached the crash site. During the drive, Connor kept asking what had happened. But Amelia remained silent, her expression set. "You'll see when we get there," was all she said.

Amelia didn't know what to expect at the scene. She had watched the plane go down. Honestly, it seemed unlikely that Grant and Chloe could have made it out alive. But how could she explain that? Her mind was in chaos. Should she reveal that Grant had orchestrated this elaborate plan to whisk Chloe away? But this drama only worked if they were both alive.

When they arrived, the plane's tail was still smoldering. Debris and blood were everywhere. Maddie froze. Fire trucks and ambulances arrived just as quickly. Rescue efforts kicked off immediately. The flames were quickly put out. The next step was finding survivors. Maddie rushed forward. Inside, she found Grant, unconscious from blood loss. Firefighters struggled to pull him out from under the wreckage. His chest had been pierced by a metal shard. Grant was quickly loaded into an ambulance, and even in his unconscious state, he kept calling out Chloe's name.
