Robert swatted Eugene’s hand away, annoyed, and quickly smoothed his hair back into place. “My hair, man! Just because you can pull off the messy look doesn’t mean I can.”

The car kept moving. Robert slumped back in his seat, lazy, and started running through what he’d dug up over the past couple of days.

‘I tried testing her with stuff only me and my mom would know. Little things. Private things. Nothing. Not a single hit.”

‘One thing’s for sure–Chloe’s probably safe for now.” Eugene’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly at the thought.

Whoever was behind this had gone to serious trouble–planting someone who looked exactly like Chloe to throw everyone off. Why go through all that? What was the endgame?

Eugene had always thought of himself as a pretty chill guy. But this? This crossed a line. Chloe was the line.

Trying to pass off a fake as the real thing? They weren’t even close.

Truth was, from the second “Chloe” opened her eyes in that hospital bed, he’d known. All this time, he’d let the impostor play her little game because he wanted them to slip.

People who go to this much trouble to plant someone next to him? They’d be watching. He needed to find out where they’d taken the real Chloe.

She’d made him a promise. She hadn’t kept it yet. Disappearing like this wasn’t okay.

Bruce was already on it–pulling every security feed, every traffic cam, anything that might show where she’d gone after she vanished. They had to find something.

Two days later.

Chloe stepped onto Silverash territory. The place was familiar and foreign all at once, like she’d left but never really gone.

This was where she’d built herself back up. The one place she knew better than anywhere. Every trap, every hidden door, every fail–safe–she had them all mapped out in her head.

And yet, none of it felt like home anymore. In the past month, they’d rearranged everything. All to keep the place secure.

Back then, it had cost her everything to walk away.

Now she was back.

“Master.”

Chapter 543 The impostor is Discovered

A squad of operatives materialized the moment they set foot on the island

Clor locked at them, her face giving nothing away.

The men had been trained from the ground up to be Vincent’s personal guard. They’d die for him without a second thought

Once, they’d taken orders from her. And when the left, they were the ones who came for her

It was what it was. They hadn’t walked away clean either–one of them still carried the scars from that night.

“Clo. You’re finally back” The man speaking had a long scar cutting across his face–her handiwork. His voice was flat. “This time, you’re not leaving again?

Chloe glanced at him, at the half of his face she’d left alone, and said evenly, “Whether I leave or not’s none of your business. You might want to watch the other half

The man’s eyes went cold. His hand tightened on the knife at his belt.

Chloe just smiled faintly and kept walking

The estate on this island felt colder than she remembered,

Funny–how could a place sitting under this kind of sun feel so damn cold?

*****

What was supposed to be a week–long trip had been cut short. Vincent ended the vacation early, and they’d flown back.

Since they got back, Vincent had locked himself in his study. Something had him furious–no one was allowed near

Chloe sat in the living room, flipping through a comic book she’d picked up at the resort.

Back in Sunset Bay, Vincent had taken her to the most exclusive shopping district, had the whole place cleared out just for her. Told her anything she wanted, any price—he’d buy it all.

Millions of dollars‘ worth of stuff, right there for the taking. If she wanted it, it was hers.

That was Vincent. Extravagant. Generous. He’d never done that for anyone before. For her, he’d break every rule he’d ever made.

Too bad she wasn’t interested.
