Linda had just breathed a sigh of relief when a new wave of terror washed over her eyes.
Chloe smirked, "Relax, I'm not going to kill you. You're not worth spending my life in jail for."
"Chloe, what do you want?"
"You wrecked my life, so let's trade for what you hold most dear right now." Chloe twirled a strand of her hair thoughtfully. "But what is it that you value the most? Being Lucas’ wife? Lucas himself? Or... the baby you're carrying?"
Chloe's eyes settled on Linda's belly.
Linda felt a chill. She wrapped her arms protectively around her stomach. "Chloe, don't you dare harm my child."
Chloe grinned, "It's a pity he has you for a mother, Linda. I guess I'll be the bad guy this time."
Chloe stood up and turned to Lucas. "Lucas, didn't you say you wanted to make things right?"
Chloe fixed him with a cold stare. "I'll give you a chance."
Lucas stood there, stunned.
Linda was frantic. "Chloe, you can't do this. You have no right to hurt him. You'll regret it, I swear. If you hurt him, you'll regret it someday."
Linda realized Chloe had made Lucas the weapon against her. It had to be Lucas so that the pain would cut even deeper.
