Semua Bab Carrying the Billionaire's Son : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Chapter 12 -Ace’s POV- I sat on the plush velvet chair in my father’s home office, swinging my legs back and forth while pretending to be deeply engrossed in my coding project. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched my father, Silas Mercer, the man who supposedly ran a multi-billion dollar empire, staring blankly at a single sheet of paper. I sighed and shook my head. He had been in that exact position for what felt like an eternity. The paper was clearly a prop, a shield to hide behind while his mind was obviously elsewhere. He looked like a man possessed, his brow furrowed intensely. He’s probably still worrying about my Mommy being taken away by someone else. Well, I can't really blame him for the paranoia. It’s not an impossible scenario. My mom is incredibly beautiful, talented, and kind. Men pursue her constantly, and now that her career is finally taking off, that list is only going to get longer. I reached up, pulled my headphones off my ears, and clicked my laptop shut w

Chapter 14 -Willow's POV- "Willow, you are spacing out again! The day of shooting is finally finished!" Lily’s voice cut through the air. I shook my head, snapping out of the deep, dark thoughts that had been clouding my mind for the last hour. I had been sitting in the makeup chair, staring at the wall, completely unaware of what was happening around me. I realized then that Lily and the rest of the staff had already removed my stage makeup. How long had I been sitting there? Was I really that far gone? This was not good. Ever since I received that phone call earlier, I had been unable to focus on anything at all. Silas and Ace had already noticed that something was wrong. If I continued to act this way, it would only be a matter of time before they started asking questions. And because Silas and Ace were both incredibly intelligent, it would not take them long to figure out the truth. They would eventually find out why I had been acting so strange and why I was so scared.

Chapter 16-Willow’s POV- I arrived at the Mercer Group headquarters feeling a mix of nerves and determination. In my hands, I carried the lunch bags I had carefully selected from a high-end restaurant near the filming set. I knew the stakes were high. According to Drake, the entire office was in a state of emergency because of Silas’s sour mood. I took a deep breath, adjusted my grip on the handles, and walked toward the private elevator. When I reached the top floor, the silence was heavy. Usually, this floor hummed with the sound of busy professionals, but today, everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells. I walked past the desks toward the large, double oak doors of the President’s office. I could feel the eyes of the employees following me. They were huddled in small groups, whispering behind their hands. I knocked softly on the door. It didn't even take three seconds for the door to swing open. Silas was standing there, his eyes scanning my face. "Wife!" he exclaimed. His v

Chapter 18 -Willow’s POV- I stayed in the hospital for three days. The doctors watched me closely because I hit my head. They wanted to make sure I did not have any internal bleeding. After the three days were over, the doctor said I was healthy enough to leave. I felt a little bit of shame when I thought about the movie set. I am not the main actress of the show. I am just a supporting character. But because I got hurt, the whole production had to stop. I delayed the work of many people. This made me feel bad. The police and the private investigators finished their work while I was in the hospital bed. The results were very clear. The harness did not break because it was old. It was not an accident. Kleo was the one who cut the safety wires. I knew that she did not like me. I knew she was angry because she liked Sebastian and Sebastian liked me. But I did not think she would try to kill me. I realized that I had been far too careless. I had lived my life thinking that people were

Chapter 20-Ace’s POV- "Mommy, look over there! The sunset is so beautiful!" I said loudly. I pointed my finger toward the orange and red sky. We are at the beach right now. The sand is warm, and the water is very blue. The sun is starting to go down behind the ocean. It looks like a painting. I chose this spot because it is very romantic. "I am just wondering about something," Mommy said. She looked at the water and then looked at me. "Why did you ask me to come here? You do not usually like the beach that much. You usually prefer to stay inside with your computer." I gave her a small, forced smile. I had to think quickly. The truth is that Mommy and Daddy are still not on good terms. They had a big misunderstanding because of that secretary at the office. I wanted to help Daddy one more time. I know I said before that I would stop interfering in their lives, but Daddy gave me a very good offer. He told me that if I helped him make Mommy happy again, he would give me back my lapt
