Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1046

"They know about us. Connor's been suspicious of you for ages, and there's no way they'll ever believe me."

"I heard Teddy's asked you to marry him six times in the last two years. Maybe it's time you said yes."

Maddie went quiet, staring off into the distance.

Then, out of nowhere, she said, "I just can't keep lying to that idiot anymore."

Grant spun his wheelchair around to face her. "What's that supposed to mean?"

She looked him dead in the eyes. "Grant, do you ever feel like any of this is worth it?"

Maddie let out a bitter little laugh. "Have you ever been happy? Like, actually happy? Have you ever really laughed? Has there ever been a moment where the world felt warm or good to you?"

Grant suddenly snapped. "Maddie, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"I don't want to live like this anymore. Maybe my life doesn't matter, but just for one minute, I want to live for myself."

"So you'd rather risk everything just because you don't want to lie to Teddy?"

Grant's mouth twisted into a rare sneer. "If it were about Connor, I'd get it. But Teddy? He's just Connor's lapdog."

"At least a lapdog's better than you."
