Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe's heart was racing so fast it felt like it might leap out of her chest.noveldrama

But in the end, she nodded.

Connor closed the distance between them and wrapped her in a tight embrace. For a moment, it was like he'd found the most precious thing in the world. He held her so carefully, like he was afraid she'd slip away if he let go, and he didn't seem ready to loosen his grip anytime soon.

Chloe's feelings were a mess. She knew this man in front of her was her lover, her husband. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find even a flicker of memory of him in her mind. After hearing so many stories about her past, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

That afternoon, they took a private jet back home.

She didn't see Grayson again. Connor told her Grayson hadn't left Japan-he'd just gone back to the house they'd all been staying in. He'd even gone into the office that afternoon, working like nothing had changed.

When Chloe heard that, she didn't feel much at all. She'd already made a clean break from those two years the moment she decided to leave. Grayson had lied, manipulated her, and out of pure selfishness, ended up hurting the people who truly loved her.

But what Chloe couldn't forgive was the whole thing with Summer's birth. Grayson had been an accomplice, creating a child with such a tangled background just because he couldn't let go. She could never accept that.

Right before boarding the plane, Connor asked, "Are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to Lucas? This could be the last time you see him."

Chloe answered, "I lost my memory, not my judgment. A crime is still a crime, no matter what excuse you slap on it. I never want to see him again."

A hint of a smile played at Connor's lips. There was a spark in his eyes, like he saw something of the old Chloe shining through, even now.

Once Chloe was found, Connor had already let everyone know-the Shaw family, the Sartori family, Leah, Ann, the Moncada family. Pretty much everyone ended up crying tears of joy. When they heard Chloe was coming home that night, they all rushed to the Shaw family's estate.

As soon as Chloe stepped out of the airport, she spotted a sleek black Mercedes waiting by the curb. Wayne and Cassie were there to pick them up, and Isaac was with them.

Cassie was dressed in her usual style-a floral shirt under a suit jacket, her signature slicked-back

Cassie shot him an annoyed look. "I'm just nervous, okay?"

But in the end, she didn't light the cigarette. She remembered Chloe hated it when she smoked.

Not long after, Chloe showed up in front of them. Cassie's hands were actually shaking. Without a word, she rushed forward and pulled Chloe into a tight hug.

"Chloe, you're finally home! Do you have any idea what these last two years have been like for me?" Cassie

almost never cried, but now the tears just wouldn't stop.

Chloe stood stiffly, not moving, letting Cassie hug her as long as she wanted.

Isaac squeezed in beside Cassie. "My turn! Come on, let me hug her!"

Cassie didn't budge at first, but finally let go, looking Chloe up and down as if to make sure she was really there.

"It's enough that you're back. That's all that matters."

Chloe looked at everyone, and while they all felt oddly familiar, she just couldn't remember them. Feeling awkward, she said, "You're Cassie, right?"

Connor had already told everyone about Chloe's memory loss, but Cassie still couldn't quite believe it.

"Chloe, you really don't remember me?"

Chloe shook her head. "I'm sorry. I don't."

Isaac stepped up and grabbed her shoulders. "Sis, it's me, Isaac. Your brother. Do you remember me?"
