Chapter 1020

Lucas looked rattled by Connor's words. "Connor, what's even the point of pretending anymore? Why don't we just tell her the truth and let her decide?"

Connor raised an eyebrow, caught off guard. Lucas didn't seem worried at all. Where did he get that kind of confidence?

But Connor just shrugged. "You want to tell her? Not happening."

He remembered the time he'd tried to test Chloe, calling her his wife just to see what she'd do. She completely freaked out. Throwing the truth at her out of nowhere would only make her panic and push back. If she was going to see who Lucas really was, she had to figure it out on her own.

Lucas felt a small wave of relief. The truth was, he didn't dare confess either. Still, he couldn't help but hope. Chloe didn't remember anything. Now, her whole life was just him. Even if everything came out in the open... Would she really leave, like Connor thought? Maybe not.

For the past two years, Lucas had shaped Chloe's world, filling her head with what he wanted her to believe. She was gentle and sweet now, always soft- spoken and easy to please-almost kitten-like. Maybe, even if she learned the truth, she wouldn't walk away. But Lucas was only half sure.

The next morning, a knock sounded at the guest room door.

Lucas had spent the whole night curled up on the sofa. He hadn't slept a wink, and every muscle ached.
