Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

"Why are you doing this to me, Chloe? What gives you the right? If you kill me, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison.”

"Six!

"Five!"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"Chloe, please, can't we just talk this out? Let's calm down for a second. We used to be such good friends. You took a hit for me, and I took a marathon penalty for you. Have you forgotten all that?”

"Four!"

"Chloe, I hate you. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. How could you possibly understand the pain of someone at the bottom like me? You still have everything. You haven't lost a thing. Why do you have to do this to me! I have nothing?"

"Three!"

"Chloe, please, let me go. There's something I've always wanted to tell you!"

"Two!"

"You don't understand me, not at all. You're always in the spotlight, surrounded by friends. So many that it makes me envious. I always wonder if you were like me, with nothing, would you..."

"One!"

Chloe finished the countdown.

Linda heard the elevator doors starting to open. She lunged forward, desperately pressing the close button.

But it was futile.

The doors had already begun to part. Two menacing paws reached in from the outside, clawing their way in.

Linda's vision was filled with the sight of those paws. Her mind went blank.

Just as the doors were about to open completely, she suddenly screamed at the display. "It was Scarface Shawn who raped you!"

Sure enough, right after Linda spoke, the elevator doors shut tightly once again.

Linda collapsed to the floor, sobbing.

In the control room, Chloe's gaze was locked on Linda. Her body started to shake uncontrollably.

Scarface Shawn!

Memories flooded back.

Scarface Shawn was Linda's neighbor.

In the rough neighborhood of Misty Alley, all sorts of unsavory characters mingled.

Shawn, a few years older than Linda, was a thug involved with the underground, known for his violence and lack of education.

Since Linda entered high school, blossoming into her beauty, he had begun harassing her. Linda avoided him like the plague, but no matter how much she tried, Shawn was always there, shadowing her.

In their high school years, he even claimed to be her boyfriend, stalking her to school. Causing scenes at school was his routine.

Back then, Linda was almost ostracized by the entire school. Even the principal considered expelling her.

It was Chloe who stepped up time and again to resolve these troubles. She had beaten Shawn up a few times. This left him bearing a grudge.

One time, after school, Chloe stood up for Linda when he came to pester her again.

Shawn pulled out a knife. Knowing he couldn't win against Chloe, he lashed out, attempting to stab Linda.

Without a thought, Chloe stepped in front of Linda. The knife deeply embedded into Chloe's shoulder. To this day, a deep scar still marks Chloe's shoulder.

Afterward, Shawn was charged with assault and sentenced to three years in prison.

Remembering the past, Chloe felt the scar on her shoulder throb with pain. The agony of the knife piercing her bone felt like a tidal wave, engulfing her whole body. Her back and forehead were covered in sweat.

But at this moment, Chloe retained her clarity. Her voice was chilling "Linda, nearly lost my life saving you from Shawn, and yet, you conspired with him to ruin my reputation?"
