Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 902

Kash reached for his handcuffs, poised to step forward. But then, Claire heard a voice in her earpiece-a voice only she could hear. It was Suzanne.

"This show has been quite the spectacle, but it's time for the final act," Suzanne said.

Claire knew Suzanne was lurking somewhere in the shadows, watching everything unfold. That meant Connor and Pax couldn't know the truth. Suzanne was the puppet master behind the chaos, the shadowy figure that spelled their doom.

Claire quickly wiped her tears. As Kash drew closer, she instinctively took a step back and, with surprising composure, spoke up.

"Captain Shaw, could I have one last song on the stage?" she asked, her voice calm and polite.

Kash frowned but remained silent, not moving an inch.

Claire turned and walked slowly onto the stage. There, at the center, she began to sing once more-her favorite, "The Farewell My Concubine." She had sung it countless times before, but now she embodied the beleaguered princess, surrounded by foes. Her costume was magnificent, its vibrant colors casting a shadow of endless sorrow. Her face was ghostly pale, except for the blood-red of her lips, like the final flicker of life.
