All Chapters of Divorced, Now Mated To His Billionaire Uncle : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I couldn't help but caress the petals between my fingers when suddenly the office door opened. "Do you like your presents?" Zephyr stood in the doorway with a smile on his face. I turned and replied with a smile. "Zephyr ... these are the sweetest presents I’ve ever received." No one had ever done that before. My agency and manager always threw a party when I officially got the part in a movie. However, the gifts were there before I even walked into the audition room, which meant that Zephyr had already prepared the gifts regardless of the results. "You worked so hard practicing your script." Zephyr approached me and caressed my cheeks. "These gifts don’t even compare to your efforts." I smiled weakly. "What ... what do you think of my performance?" "Like I said, you’re perfect." Zephyr assured me. "Every person in that room feels the same way, and I swear I’ve never told them to exaggerate their reactions to you." Their reactions were genuine, even the writer seemed to

"It’s been a while since I played in a movie." I gave a brief speech. "I hope you can all guide me and that we can work together to create this amazing movie." The director, Matthew, smiled at me. "Well said, Samantha. We’re thrilled to have you on board. Now, let me introduce you to everyone." After meeting a few supporting actors, Matthew gestured toward a man seated at the far end of the table. He was tall and rugged, with sharp features and an intense gaze that seemed to pierce right through me. "This is Callum Nelson," Matthew said. "He’ll be playing Jonathan, Elara’s abusive husband." Callum stood. "It’s nice to meet you, Samantha," he said, offering his hand. His grip was firm, almost too firm, as if it mirrored the character he was about to portray. "Nice to meet you too, Callum," I said. Even though he seemed like a harsh person, he was actually so sweet and kind. He even reminded me to tell him if he accidentally made me uncomfortable, especially when he acted

I took a few deep breaths and clasped my hands, standing in front of the conference room doors, waiting for the staff’s signal to let me in.The staff had given me a script to help guide me during the press conference, so I wouldn’t get confused while addressing the reporters. However, I knew better than anyone that the script would be useless once the reporters started to ask too many questions.This wasn’t my first press conference, yet I couldn’t help but feel anxious every time I imagined my name being called by those reporters.The last time I stepped into a press conference was to announce that I was leaving the showbiz industry to focus on building a family with Rowan.But now, I was here to declare that I had cut all ties with him.Wasn’t that a bit ironic?Back then, I had sat before them with a bright smile, but now, my face was clouded with gloom, and my eyes were filled with regret.Both of them were me, but felt like two different sides of th

Zephyr leaned back slightly, his eyes locking onto the reporters who had asked the question. "So, tell me. Do you still think it’s that simple?"A tense, suffocating silence spread across the room. Some reporters shifted uncomfortably in their seats, while others quickly scribbled down notes.I took a deep breath, my chest tightening with emotions I had buried for too long.Then, I finally spoke. "I stayed because I was scared. Because I thought no one would believe me. Because every time I tried to leave, Rowan found a way to drag me back." My voice wavered slightly but remained firm. "And that’s exactly why I’m speaking out now. So no one else has to go through what I did."My voice was strong and unwavering, as if I were speaking not just for myself but for every woman who had endured the same pain.The cameras kept flashing, pens moved swiftly across notepads, but no one dared to interrupt me now.I took a deep breath, steadying myself as I met the gaze o

Ashley’s eyes gleamed with excitement. "Really?" She had completely forgotten about her parents, who had abandoned her for some ’private’ discussion. "Do they like cookies? Maybe I can bake some for them!""They would definitely love to try your cookies," I said with a warm smile.To spend the evening together, I decided to watch a children’s movie. The house was unusually quiet since half of its residents were out.Eleanor and Mona had gone to see an opera together, while Zephyr was still stuck in his office—who knew for how long?But the silence was suddenly broken by the sound of a motorcycle approaching from a distance. The low rumble grew louder as it neared the front door.A motorcycle? I didn’t recall ever seeing one at the manor.Zephyr and Darren always traveled by car.Just as I was deep in thought, Ashley suddenly jumped off the sofa and ran toward the door. "Aunt Monica is here!"Monica?I had heard that name somewhere before.Oh,
