Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

As more red fireworks shot up into the sky, they burst into a dazzling display, layer upon layer, as if competing with each other to be the most spectacular. When they started to fall, they looked like strings of twinkling red lanterns, swaying gracefully in the air-a mesmerizing sight.

The crowd around them began to scatter, their attention drawn to the display. The entire banquet hall was encased in transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, and even the roof was a single pane of glass that formed a dome. Bright red fireworks lit up the sky above them, unrestrained and breathtaking.

These fireworks were different from the usual ones; they were a single, fiery color, but their beauty was indescribable.

"It's the Heart of the Rose!" someone shouted.

Heart of the Rose was the name of these unique fireworks. Their fiery red color made them unmistakable. Many had heard of them but had never seen them in person. Rumor had it that three years ago, at Pearl Square in Eldridge, there had been a two-hour display of the Heart of the Rose. Apparently, the cost of these fireworks was calculated by the second. That epic display supposedly cost two hundred million dollars, earning it a spot among the top ten legendary events of the past thirty years. However, no one knew who had orchestrated that magnificent show.

Everyone was captivated by the visual feast and gathered around the dome glass to marvel at the spectacle outside. Meanwhile, Connor took Chloe's hand and led her out through a side door. They quickly entered an elevator.

"Where are you taking me?" Chloe suddenly asked.

Connor draped an arm around her shoulders. "You'll see when we get there."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The elevator soon arrived, opening to reveal an open-air platform. It wasn't large and looked utterly barren, like a deserted place. But then...

As the sound of explosions filled the night sky, fireworks burst into view right before their eyes. Chloe finally understood that this was the perfect spot to watch the fireworks. The breathtaking display was so close it felt like she could reach out and pluck a firework from the sky. The unobstructed view made her blood pulse with excitement.

"It's so beautiful!" Chloe exclaimed, unable to contain her awe.

Connor wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "Tonight, these fireworks are all for you."

Chloe was lost in the moment. Then, she suddenly turned around and asked, "How much did this cost?"

Connor frowned slightly. "Are you short on money? Why do you keep bringing it up?"

Chloe laughed wholeheartedly.

Under the glow of the red fireworks,

her smile shone brighter than the firework themselves. She looped her arms around Connor's neck. "You're spending a fortune to make me happy. I should reciprocate, shouldn't I?"

Connor's brows furrowed slightly. "I don't like it when you keep such a distance between us."

Chloe's smile remained enchanting. "It's better to keep things clear between us."

Connor sighed. "The atmosphere is so perfect today. Must you spoil it?"

Chloe, seeing his slightly furrowed brows, tiptoed to peck him on the lips. "Anyway, thank you for today."
