Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Connor didn't show a hint of emotion as he made his way straight to Diana. She had gone all out with her look today. Her long black hair cascaded down, and her deep, dark eyes glistened like they were holding back tears. When she saw Connor coming, she got visibly tense, her fingers turning white as she gripped the metal strap of her purse. She bit down on her lip, making it a vibrant shade of red. She looked as delicate as a porcelain doll in a store window. "Diana, what are you doing here?" Connor asked as he reached her, his voice as cool as ever.

Diana spoke up, "I wanted to see you, Uncle Connor, so here I am."

Connor stayed silent. Ever since that night, he hadn't laid eyes on Diana. All he knew was she had taken a dive into the sea as well. That realization hit him hard. All those years of shielding her hadn't made her any stronger or helped her grow up. "Did you come here for something in particular?" he asked.

Diana bit her lip so hard it almost bled. "Uncle Connor, are you really going to marry Chloe?"

Connor answered without hesitation, "Of course."

Tears welled up in Diana's eyes, but she fought to hold them back. The thought of Connor choosing Chloe over her sent a wave of resentment she struggled to contain.
