Semua Bab Carrying the Billionaire's Son : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 21 -Willow’s POV- I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my bedroom, staring at my reflection. I took a deep breath and ran a comb through my hair one last time. I had to admit, I looked good. I wasn't wearing anything flashy or expensive. I had chosen the simplest dress I could find in my closet, a plain, elegant piece that didn't scream for attention. I didn't want to give them any reason to talk more than they already did. My father had called me earlier in the day. His voice was cold, as usual, but there was an underlying tone of command. He told me that I needed to attend the wedding anniversary event for Stacy and Roman tonight. It was a mandatory appearance in his eyes. I knew exactly what this was. It was a trap. It was clearly a plan hatched by Stacy. She probably thought that by forcing me to watch her celebrate her marriage to my ex-boyfriend, she could make me feel jealous or small. It was funny, really. My father only remembers that I exist when Stacy w

Chapter 23 -Willow’s POV- The entire day at the movie set was incredibly strange. I had arrived early, expecting the usual tension and the cold glances from the staff, but everything was different. It was peaceful. There was a strange, quiet calm that I wasn't used to. I looked around for Stacy, but she was nowhere to be found. I looked for Kleo, but she wasn't there either. It was as if all the people who usually tried to make my life difficult had simply vanished into thin air. Even more surprising was the behavior of the crew. The makeup artists, the lighting technicians, and the production assistants were all being incredibly kind to me. Every time I walked past someone, they would stop what they were doing, offer a bright smile, and greet me with a polite "Good morning, Miss Willow." It was so sudden that it felt unnatural. I sat in my dressing room during a break, still trying to process the change. Lily, my assistant, was busy organizing my clothes and accessories. She look

Chapter 25 -Willow’s POV- The final day of production arrived with a very heavy and bittersweet atmosphere. I stood on the set of the drama, looking at the familiar faces of the crew and the other actors who had become a part of my daily life over the last few months. This was the last day of shooting for the entire series. It was also the very last scene I had to film for my character, the primary antagonist who had spent the entire story trying to tear the protagonists apart. I knew that I had to perform very well today. I wanted to show everyone that I was a professional actress who deserved to be part of this project. I wanted to prove that my skills were real and that I was not just someone who got lucky because of my personal life or my marriage to a powerful man. I reached into the pocket of my elaborate costume and felt my phone vibrate against my leg. I pulled it out and saw that I had a new message from Silas. He was at his office at the Mercer Group, but he was still thi

Chapter 27 -Willow’s POV- Several weeks have already passed since the news broke that Stacy, my father, and my stepmother were officially facing serious legal charges. The investigation into the landslide incident on the film set had been thorough, and the evidence regarding the financial fraud involving the Sinclair family’s past business dealings was undeniable. Although I know deep in my heart that they deserve the consequences of their actions, I still find myself feeling a small, lingering sense of guilt. It is difficult to completely erase the history I have with them, even if that history was filled with pain. However, I have to remind myself that it was their own fault. They chose to commit crimes, and they chose to hurt people to get what they wanted. They created their own downfall. As for Elijah, I received news that he has left the country again. He has returned to his operations involving the international black market business that he manages. Knowing that he is thou

Chapter 29 -Willow’s POV- "I really hope that I can be as beautiful as you are when the day comes that I finally get married, Willow," Lily said. She was standing right next to the white vanity table and she was busy handing the various makeup brushes and tools to the professional makeup artist. She looked at me with wide, admiring eyes. I felt a small smile form on my face because of what she said to me. I was looking at my reflection in the large, gold-framed mirror of my dressing room. The light was bright, showing every detail of the cosmetics on my skin. "I also saw the church earlier today and I saw the place for the reception as well. It is so big and it is so grand! I think that even just one single serving of the food at that party will cost as much as my entire monthly salary. It is a very good thing that the food is free for us today because we are part of the team," Lily added as she continued to look at the train of my wedding gown. I could really relate to what Lil
