Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Kalilah was taken aback, staring blankly as her face turned ghostly pale. The memory of swallowing snake eggs the day before flashed vividly in her mind. The intense nausea and pain made her body tremble uncontrollably, even causing convulsions. She bolted, but within moments, she couldn't hold it in any longer and threw up everything in one go. She vomited so hard that even stomach acid came up, making her feel like her insides were on fire. Despite being empty, her stomach kept lurching, causing her to retch repeatedly. The snake meat she ate made her feel like she was being gnawed on by a million ants.

Pax watched Kalilah retch in utter confusion. "What's up with her?" he asked.

Chloe shrugged. "No idea, maybe she just can't handle it."

In the livestream chat:

[Oh my god! Who can handle snake meat anyway?]NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

[A cobra? Seriously? Someone explain, aren't cobras venomous? Can you actually eat them?]

[Cobras do store their venom in glands, but their meat is non-toxic and mainly protein. Still, I wouldn't recommend it.]

[Thanks for the info! Honestly, I doubt most people would try it.]

Just then, a helicopter landed, and Juztin and Faith stepped out, both looking refreshed. Faith immediately caught a whiff of something delicious. "Something smells amazing! What are you guys eating?" she asked, following the scent towards Chloe and Pax.

"What's this?" Faith asked as she reached them.

"Snake meat," Pax replied.

"Is it good? Let me try," Faith said without hesitation. Pax tore off a piece for her, and she joined them, eating eagerly.

Juztin walked over, looking at Faith, who was clearly enjoying herself. "Ms. Faith, you already had two lobsters, three steaks, a plate of spaghetti, and five cupcakes this morning."

Faith, not missing a beat, took a bite of the snake meat. "But I've never had snake before."

Juztin, "......"

In the livestream chat:

[These three are something else. Why do my idols and favorite couple enjoy eating snake meat? I'm losing faith here.]

[Honestly, watching them enjoy it makes me curious about the taste.]

[Faith is such a champ - give her food, she eats; don't give her, and she'll take it.]

Meanwhile, Lovebot notified

everyone to gather again. Chloe and Pax, having had their fill, stood up, dusted off their hands, and started walking towards the beach. Only Faith fingered, still munching and carrying some with her.

As she walked past, she noticed Kalilah kneeling on the ground, looking weak and powerless. Concerned, Faith approached her. "Kalilah, what's wrong?"

Barely able to speak after vomiting so much, Kalilah tried to respond but couldn't.

Faith, thinking she had the solution,

said, "You must have skipped

breakfast and are feeling weak. Here, have some of this." Without a second thought, she stuffed a piece of snake meat into Kalilah's mouth, then walked away, reluctantly parting with the meat.

Kalilah, her mouth suddenly full, chewed mechanically. But soon, the familiar taste hit her. She pulled the food out to look.

It was that damn snake meat again!

She retched violently, while everyone else had already gathered on the beach, oblivious to her plight.
