Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 477

Cassie made her way back to Blue Eye Hill, just as the family doctor was wrapping up his visit. After checking on

Mrs. Gilbert, he prescribed smeds to help her sleep. Cassie had a quick chat with him, and when she heard

it was just a bit of angina due to coronary

artery disease, she let out a relieved sigh. Nothing too serious, thank goodness.

Cassie's life had been a bit of a rollercoaster from day one. She never got to meet her mom, who tragically

passed away during childbirth due to a pulmonary embolism. Her dad? Well, he wasn't exactly Father of the Year.

He left her behind with just a nanny and a butler to look after her at the Riverbrook mansion, and never bothered

to visit. Mrs. Gilbert, the nanny, knew all about Cassie's rough start. She would often hold young Cassie and sigh,

"Diana, if only you were a boy. Then your father would have brought you home." These words stuck with Cassie,

haunting her childhood thoughts.

So, she figured if being a boy was the ticket to having a family, why not just becone? She chopped her hair

short and decked herself out in boys' clothes. It wasn't long before people started mistaking her for a boy.

Growing up, she felt she could outshine most guys. She was better looking and could throw a punch better than

any of them. The only hiccup was the awkwardness of using the women's restroom, which always seemed to

cause a stir-sometimes even a call to the cops.

Cassie wasn't the marrying type, nor did she dream of having kids. Her life felt like a series of unfortunate

events: a mom who died bringing her into the world, a father who abandoned her, a brief stint of acceptance by

the Gilbert family until they had another child and cast her aside again. Family ties? She didn't put much stock in

them anymore. She was perfectly content living life on her own terms.

still, there were three people she held dear: Mrs. Gilbert, the butler Thompson, and Chloe.

Back in her room, Cassie leaned against the balcony, a cigarette tucked between her slender, pale fingers.

Though she dressed like boy, her hands were as delicate as porcelain. The cigarette's ember glowed a fiery red,

and the crisp tobacco smoke wrapped her in a cloud of solitude.

Then, something caught her eye-a light flickering in the distance.

Cassie's curiosity got the better of her. Blue Eye Hill only had a handful of villas, and most were spaced out. But

her villa and the twins' place were practically neighbors, their yards separated by just a single wall.

Back in the day, a pair of twins lived across the way with their grandma. Cassie got along with them famously,

often joining them for meals. But then, in third grade, their grandmother passed, and the twins moved away

without a proper farewell. For years, that villa was dark and empty.

Could it be that the twins were back

now that she had returned? Cassie couldn't shake the curiosity. She had to find out. Both villas were

sprawling, and the main entrances

wasn keen on taking the long way around. Luckily, the twins had once made a little gate in the yard's corner just

for her. Before she

were a bit of a trek apart. . nis

moved away, she used to slip

through it all the tto visit them, especially since their yard was lush with fruit trees.

Now, she was ready to take that shortcut again.
