All Chapters of BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

LEO'S POVI pulled my car into my private garage showroom, the engine purring to a stop as the automated door rolled shut behind me. Overhead lights flickered on, casting a sterile glow across the polished floor and my small lineup of luxury cars. With a deep sigh, I leaned back, hands still on the wheel. It had been a stressful day at the gift store—but worth it. I glanced at the back seat, now stuffed with glossy, ribbon-wrapped packages filled with silk, chocolates, candles, and a human-sized teddy bear. Beside them sat massive bouquets of roses, peonies, and ranunculus, tied with colorful satin ribbons. I didn’t know which flowers she preferred, so I’d gotten all three. A smile tugged at my lips. Charlotte has no idea what’s waiting for her. God, I hope she likes it. Stepping out of the car, the sweet scent of fresh flowers hit me as I opened the rear door to grab the bags. I left the bouquets and teddy for last, saving them for the grand reveal. At the main entrance,

By the time I reached the Island, the moon was high and the sky ink-black. The garage door opened automatically, sliding up with a low mechanical whirr. I parked, shifted the car into neutral, and just sat there. My hands fell to my lap. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. I’d lived on this island alone for years—that’s how comfortable I was in my solitude. How did I go from that person to someone losing his mind over another’s absence? I wasn’t the type to care about being left alone. After a few seconds of silent meltdown, I turned off the engine, stepped out slowly, and walked to my other car. I opened the backseat, picked up the bouquets first, then the human-sized teddy bear. Balancing them awkwardly in my arms, I trudged to the entrance. The door recognized me instantly, unlocking with a faint beep. KC’s voice greeted me again. “Welcome back, Boss.” This time, I didn’t reply. Just climbed the stairs. Her room was dim but warm, still carrying the

“Good luck on your date, Olive,” I called. “Thanks!!” she shouted from the bathroom. I glanced at Angela, now pouting over her breakup. My heart ached for her. “That bastard probably already has a new Valentine’s date. Idiot,” she muttered. “He is an idiot. You deserve better, Angela. Trust me—you’re a kind, beautiful woman. You’re a ten. The standard. You could walk out right now and have plenty of men begging to be your date.” She chuckled. “You’re one of a kind, Charlotte. You don’t have a date either, do you? You care more about others than yourself. From the little I’ve known about you… you can’t stand seeing someone sad. You’re the kind one.” Our eyes met, and I looked away, blinking back sudden tears. “See you later, Angela,” I murmured, then quietly stepped out of the room. Outside the hotel, I stood by the road clutching my bag with one hand. I hadn't decided yet—whether to call a cab or press the remote and let Leo's smart car find me. I sighed deeply.

“It’s the audition,” she said calmly, walking over to adjust one of my earrings. “Well… sort of. Let’s skip the formal script reading. I know you can act. I want to see how you hold your own in a rehearsal setting.” My stomach twisted. “Rehearsal?” “Yes. You’ll be playing Ava — the rude, spoiled brat, remember? You’re the female lead. We’ll use your real name and age for now, since this isn’t the final shoot. Just stay in character.” “You remember your lines right?” I nodded slowly, nerves crawling under my skin. I had questions in my head. My real name and age? Why? Isn't it better that I use the character's... However, another part of my brain suggested what's the big deal? I'm that the character can be named Charlotte too. They took me to the door. “As soon as you step in there, it's action,” Jessica told me. I nodded and adjusted my crop top, cleared my throat, and took a breath. A female voice boomed from a speaker. “Let’s welcome our next single lady!” The doors ope

After changing back my outfit, I met Jessica outside. "How was it?" I asked excitedly. "You did so well, I am so proud of you. It's so real and natural. I know you are the right person." She gave me my handbag. I took it and hugged her in excitement. "I can't believe I had that energy in me. In real life I would never say such rude things to anyone... Gosh, she is so mean and those male characters are even worse. What a chaotic scene. I feel so happy you can't understand how happy I am right now, Jess." I hugged her again, tears summoning in my eyes. "Thank you, you changed my life," I sobbed. "Hey, you don't have to cry. Cheer up. I will pay you for it," she said and patted my back. "Pay? Why?" I chuckled awkwardly. "Well, it's Valentine's. It's not easy to leave all the important things and come over here for this shooting." I laughed and rolled my eyes. "Trust me, there are no other important things. I can't wait to go home and tell my friends about it." A crew member
