Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Lisa spoke through clenched teeth. Chloe crouched down, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she looked at Lisa. "Even if Connor and I part ways, it's still not your time to shine." Lisa, incensed, shot up. "What's that supposed to mean, Chloe?" Chloe sank back onto the sofa with an air of casual authority. Despite her relaxed posture, her gaze felt like a challenge. "Lisa, I can read you like a book. Your crush on Connor is written all over your face. Do you really think destroying my marriage certificate is going to get you what you want?" Lisa's anger faded, replaced by a smug grin. "Getting what I want isn't for you to decide. You're not Mrs. Connor yet, and who knows who'll end up in that spot." Chloe met her eyes steadily. "So, you're admitting you ruined my marriage certificate on purpose?" Lisa shrugged defiantly. "So what if I did? Connor hasn't said a word to me about it, so why do you care?"

"I doubt Mr. Connor is in any rush to marry you either. You might want to bow out gracefully. You, with your fake heiress act, think you're worthy of him?" Chloe snapped back. A sharp slap echoed as Chloe's hand met Lisa's cheek. Lisa's eyes widened in shock. "Chloe, did you just slap me again?"

If you want to play queen in your own little world, go ahead, but don't drag others down with you. I've never felt superior because of my family name, nor do I feel less now for being a 'fake heiress.' I'm proud of each chapter in my life."
