Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

The calmer Grant seemed, the more Chloe felt a shiver creeping up her spine. If things were really as Grant claimed, and she ended up dead, taking her and her unborn child's life, Connor would definitely go off the deep end. And if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to keep going.noveldrama

Chloe shook with fear. "So you were planning to kill me all along?"

Grant suddenly closed the distance between them, stepping right up to her. Slowly and deliberately, he took her hand and gently opened her tightly clenched fist, one finger at a time.

Then he said, "I've never planned to kill you because you're the one I love most in this world."

He gazed intently into Chloe's eyes. "To me, you're more important than anything. Every single day you've been with Connor, I've been in unbearable pain. My biggest regret is not stopping you from being with him."

Chloe looked at Grant as if he'd lost his mind. In the next instant, she snapped back to reality and quickly pulled her hand away from his grasp. She took a step back, vigorously wiping her hand on her clothes.

Grant furrowed his brow slightly, stepping back a bit himself. Then he added, "I won't let you die, but I'll make you 'disappear' and start anew by my side. A future without Connor, where you'll be my wife, and we'll spend our lives together."

"Grant, you're dreaming. Now that I know all this, do you think I'll just sit back and watch you harm my husband? Unless you kill me now, we're going to be enemies."

A faint smile crept onto Grant's stern, cold face. "I won't kill you. On the contrary, I'll let you go back to Connor. But do you know why I'm telling you all this today?"

Something clicked in Chloe's mind. Grant continued, "Have you noticed you've been forgetting important things lately?"

Indeed, she had forgotten why she started doubting her friend. "Did you mess with me during those acupuncture sessions?" Chloe asked.

Grant replied, "When the butler mentioned you'd been to the estate, I figured someone as sharp as you would uncover something. So, during the acupuncture, I made a few tweaks. I didn't expect you to forget for so long. I haven't done this in years, but it seems it worked."

Chloe realized her friend was skilled in a special acupuncture technique. He must've used it on her. This technique was completely under the practitioner's control, capable of making someone manic, turning them mute, or, if skilled enough, controlling whether a person loses part or all of their memory.

However, unless it was used to erase all memories, there was no way to control how long it would take for the person to recover them. Just like this time, her friend had clearly used the technique on her, but the needles weren't applied heavily. After a month, triggered by certain stimuli, her memories came back.

Even with memory loss, he couldn't control which memories she lost. This time, she just happened to forget about the wolf totem. It was probably nothing but a coincidence. to give

So unless her friendce.

her a stronger dose now, making her completely lose her memory, it wouldn't fit into Grant's plans. He wanted her to return to Connor.

Therefore, he couldn't make her lose all her memories. Otherwise, the future

without Connor that he dreamed of wouldn't exist in her mind.
