Switched Bride True Luna novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Despite everything, Chloe didn’t actually want to hurt Logan. She wanted him. She wanted

to be at his side.

“It’s not poison,” Hannah said, waving a hand. “It’s an aphrodisiac. It’s made from all natural ingredients. One dose and Logan won’t be able to keep his hands off you.”

‘Chloe’s breath caught. “You want me to drug him?”

“Do you want Emily to win her case? Do you want to be Gregory’s wife?” Hannah snapped. “Because that’s your future if you don’t get Logan to claim you.”

Chloe felt dizzy. Her fingers clutched the edge of the table like a lifeline. The idea made her

nauseous.

Gregory Baron made her skin crawl. But worse was the idea that Emily would stand at Logan’s side as his bride.

“I can’t do that.”

. “What else do you want to do?” Hannah asked.

“I… I’ll try harder. There had to be something. Something he doesn’t want us to know that

we can use against him,” Chloe suggested. She bit her fingernails, trying to think of something, anything, that might help.

She didn’t want to win over Logan like this. He’d hate her forever if she drugged him.

Suddenly, her face lit up.

“Emily has been using the press to spread her precious message, right? What if we turned it around on her?”

“I’ll send out the word,” agreed Phillip. Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, but it was ruined when Hannah placed her hand on her shoulder.

“If you can’t get closer to Logan, you will have to use this.” She shoved the vial of aphrodisiac into Chloe’s hands.

Chloe gripped it so tight, her knuckles turned white. She didn’t want to do this. To appease

her mother, she nodded. Internally, she vowed to win Logan’s heart without it.

Emily

The trial was going better than anyone expected.

For the first time in years, I felt a sense of relief. Not only was I going to get what was mine,

I was freeing my mother’s name and restoring her reputation.

And yet, despite the victories, I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders.

At Logan’s office, I was constantly pulled in two directions. I had legal meetings, press briefings, and court prep. Then the rest of my hours spent elbows–deep in spreadsheets and

client reports. I was stretched thin. Every breath felt borrowed.

Worse than the exhaustion was the lack of progress.

I’d scoured every document, every record I could find, looking for the account my mother

was supposed to have set up for me. There should have been something. There had to be a

paper trail.
