Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

She strutted over in her high heels, oozing elegance and confidence. When she stopped in front of Chloe, she sized her up with a discerning eye. Then, with a laid-back demeanor, she extended her hand, “MISSY, I've heard a lot about you."

Chloe, however, was on high alert. This woman was probably tied to that elusive ally she'd been wary of. Her sudden appearance here was more than a little suspicious, and Chloe wasn't up for small talk. She didn't accept the handshake, but she kept her cool, showing no sign of awkwardness.

The woman withdrew her hand smoothly and introduced herself, "I'm Maddie. I'm a bit older than you, so you can call me Amelia."

The name Amelia hit Chloe like a bolt from the blue. Amelia, Amelia! Could she be the Amelia who had left Teddy so devastated? Teddy had mentioned seeing Amelia, back from the dead, at the airport. And that day, the mysterious ally had said they were picking someone up at the airport-Miss Z. It was all starting to click into place, but the truth was chilling.

Amelia had once been the legal owner of The Sanctuary, Connor's go-to for intel. And now... she was part of the enemy's plan!

"Are you that Amelia, the one who's supposed to have been dead for five years?" Chloe asked, disbelief etched on her face.

Maddie didn't seem the least bit surprised by Chloe's question. Her voice was calm, almost like she was chatting with an old friend. "Looks like you've already heard my story."

"So, faking your death was just a cover-up. You were a spy planted by the enemy with Connor. And what about Teddy? Was your relationship with him all an act? And the baby you supposedly lost when you 'died'-what happened to him?"

Maddie let out a soft chuckle. "There was no baby; it was all a ruse to trick that poor fool. How else could he have grown to despise Claire so much? In a twisted way, I did you a favor, didn't I?"

Maddie turned and sank into the nearby plush couch, completely at ease. "You're right. I was a mole with Connor played the part of gathering intel for him, risking my neck, but I was really working for the boss. My main mission was to make Connor fall for me. Sadly, couldn't pull it off and ended up tangled with Teddy, that rich kid."

"I did have a fling with Teddy, but that was because the boss shifted tactics, and some things got out of control. The supposed pregnancy was just a joke on Teddy. Once my mission with Connor was done, I needed a way out, and Claire's plot against me was the perfect exit. The five-month pregnancy was just a coincidence, matching the condition of the woman who died in that fire.”

Chloe looked at her, speaking so casually about it all, like she was some kind of devil incarnate. “You faked your death and let a five-month pregnant woman die in your place. That's monstrous."

Maddie lifted her gaze and replied, "What if I told you that the pregnant woman

was a notorious criminal, a child trafficker? Letting her die in my place was serving justice, saving countless broken families."noveldrama
