Chloe, sensing she was onto something, shrugged. "Never mind, I'm not interested in your dirty laundry." "It's not what you think," Linda hurried to explain.
But Chloe had lost her patience and stood up. "Linda, don't mess with me, or I might just revert to who I was three years ago. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to do my makeup." Chloe had to get ready to anchor the noon news. As Linda watched Chloe disappear from sight, her expression turned icy.
'Chloe, I will take everything from you. Your husband, your job, your family. I will leave you with nothing. You will be deserted by everyone, disgraced. I'm waiting for that day.

"I missed you and the baby." A shy blush crept across Linda's face. "With you saying that, it doesn't matter where you are. I'm happy." Lucas pulled her into a tight embrace.

Luca, we'll be a happy family of three once the baby is born." Lucas nodded. "Don't worry, I'll sort things out with Chloe soon. I'll make sure you and the baby have a proper place in my life." At the mention of Chloe, Lucas' face darkened. "Today was your first day at the TV station. Did Chloe give you a hard time?" Linda's eyes flickered. "No... She blamesfor taking you away, and she's always been like that." "I knew it. She bullied you, didn't she? I'm going to sort this out right now."
Lucas started to walk away, but Linda grabbed his arm, her voice gentle yet firm. "Don't. When I'm with you, this little bit of grief means nothing. You going back now will only make things worse, and your parents will dislikeeven more. I can handle this."
Thinking of his parents' attitude towards Linda, Lucas stopped. He pulled her close again "If you'relever mistreated, you must mistreated you must tell me. I won't let Chloe keep bullying you. And remember, I was never hers. You didn't takefrom her; Chloe never deserved me."
