When a Bad Boy Falls Inlove의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

WillowTears are pouring down my face nonstop, but I can't seem to tear my eyes away from my father's, who has a stone-cold expression. He's sending me away like I'm a problem he needs gone without having to dirty his hands, except he would if need be."Father, y—you can't possibly be serious about this." I stutter in a breathless tone, my tear-filled gaze locked on his.His nose turns up in a subtle scowl that I would have missed if I wasn't paying such close attention to him."I am, and like I said, it is all up to you to make that decision," he responds coolly, and I lose it."Don't say that!" I scream, "Don't you dare act like this is all just a fucking game when you're not just turning not just mine but the lives of innocent people upside down!" I snap, and he shifts in his stance, his hands clenching into fists by his side, but I couldn't give a damn if he exploded out of anger."Don't use that tone on me, young lady; I am still your father," he seethes, and I scoff, wiping furi

WillowI step off the bus, clutching my small hand luggage by my side, and shut my eyes, breathing in the familiar autumn breeze.Slowly, my eyes flutter open, taking in the busy street around me. It doesn't seem like anything has changed since I left this town ten years ago.I start walking across the cobblestone path, passing by some stores that displayed shiny little trinkets in the display window and cosy restaurants that offered delicious-looking desserts.I can't help the smile that tugs at my lips as I take everything in all at once.Ever since I left home to study abroad, I hadn't had the privilege of coming back home, not because my father wouldn't approve; on the contrary, both he and my mother had been begging for me to come home, but it's just that I no longer considered that house I grew up in my home.Two years after I left home, I cut ties with my family, transferred to a different college, took up part-time jobs to fund my education and changed my name.It was hard at

WillowIt's another day at the clinic. I've just finished with my rounds for the morning, my steps light as I make my way towards my office that is on the second floor.“Dr Rose!" I halt mid-step at the sound of my name being called from far away and turn to see someone down the hallway waddling to get to me.I turn fully, facing his way, and wait for him to get closer. When he comes closer, I recognise him as one of the residents I've interacted with, clad in green scrubs with his feet covered in a pair of white crocs.“Gosh, you walk so fast," he wheezes, breathing so hard through his mouth and raking his fingers through his black hair while I hold back from chuckling.”So I've been told," I shrug, and he blinks. “Anyway, what's the problem?" I ask, cutting straight to the chase, and he straightens his shoulders.“Well, the director would like to see you,” he says, and I frown in confusion.“Now?" I ask, and he nods quickly, scratching the back of his head awkwardly before respondin

JackWillow blinks in surprise, finding me standing in the middle of her office. I look at her, really look at her closely. How could I not have recognised her at first glance? She hadn't really changed; her blue eyes that seem to draw me in still haunt me.God, I must have been out of it.Flirting with the woman that ripped my heart to shreds without an ounce of hesitation just because she dyed her hair black.I hate to admit it, but she looks even more beautiful than I remember, but I remind myself that it is only skin deep; she is ugly on the inside, and the thought that I fell so stupidly in love with someone as cruel as her leaves a bad taste in my mouth."Is everything alright, Mr Carter?" She asks in that professional manner that a part of me detests, her eyes flickering with concern as she glances down at my feet, where I'm balancing my weight on one leg, being careful not to stand on the other."Get out of my way," I snap, ignoring her shocked expression as I start to hop tow

WillowThe drive back from the airport is silent as I steal glances at Cami curled up in the seat beside me in the back of the taxi, her headphones in as she stares out the window at the passing scenery of the town I had once called home.She hadn't spoken much since I picked her up from school, and it bothered me so much more than I let on.Does she hate me for leaving her in an unfamiliar place?With a resigned sigh, I reached a hand over and brushed a stray lock of dark hair back softly. She turns away from the window as my touch lingers on her before pushing her headphones off to the side."Are you mad at me?" I murmur, my tone almost pained as I hold her hypnotising gaze that mirrors mine.She sighs softly before slowly shaking her head, and I blink in surprise, fully expecting her to hate me or be mad at me."Why would I be mad at you?" she mutters in response, her nose scrunching up in confusion, and I blank."I left you there even though I knew you might have hated it," I whis
