Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Diana seemed to be in the throes of a nightmare, her hands flailing wildly in the air. Connor reached out and gently held one of her hands, whispering softly, "Easy now, don't be scared, I'm right here." Amazingly, Diana calmed down almost instantly.

Connor watched the tears trickle from the corners of her eyes, stirring a whirlwind of emotions inside him. Over the years, he had treated Diana like his own sister, showering her with love and protection. However, it wasn't just because they shared a similar fate. There was another crucial reason involving an agreement he had with Diana's mother.

A showdown for inheritance between him and Claire was inevitable. The Gilbert family, being one of the four major players in the Eldridge Elites, could be the deciding factor in this battle. Desmond and Suzanne, however, were from a less influential branch of the Gilbert family and weren't involved in the family's business. Their status within the family hierarchy was quite modest.

Lando had his eyes set on Pax as the future leader. When Claire and Desmond divorced, his only stipulation was that Pax wouldn't change his surname. He also promised that he would personally hand over the family empire to Pax one day. Despite Suzanne's marginal significance in the Gilbert family, she had one major advantage-a trump card she used to ensure Connor would protect Diana for life. Connor agreed to the deal.

In truth, his relationship with Diana had more to do with utility than affection. He wasn't ignorant of Diana's feelings or the rumors circulating about them. His inaction was partly a strategy to protect her, keeping her under his wing and making Claire's minions think twice before targeting her. It also served as a smokescreen for his relationship with Chloe.
