All Chapters of The 100th Proposal Is the Last: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Willow's POVCameron Ford watched the letters slowly burn to ashes. He threw caution to the wind, grabbed his jacket, and desperately beat out the flames.His eyes bloodshot with fury, he pinned me down on the couch covered in white rose petals right in front of our ten million livestream viewers."What are you doing, Willow? Are you messing with me?"Cameron's agent, Magnus Cooper, hurriedly shut down the livestream. I said nothing. Cameron was so close that I could smell the lingering trace of Bianca Watson's perfume on him.I suddenly recalled how, right after college, when he was still struggling to land bit parts in Reelwood, he held my hand and made me an earnest promise."Willow, when I win Best Actor one day, I'll marry you."When he did win Best Actor, he made a deal with me.He told me to propose to him publicly on livestream and that he'd only be willing to cast aside his A-list-actor status and make our relationship official after I did it 100 times.Every time I p

Willow's POVOver the past few years, I had always wanted to go to the movies with Cameron like any ordinary couple. Every time I brought it up, though, he would ruffle my hair and talk me out of it in the gentlest voice."I'm a public figure now. If we're caught on camera, it could jeopardize my career. You might even get doxxed. I just don't want you to get hurt."But ever since he became famous, he had done nothing but play up his chemistry with one actress after another or take trips to the islands with some singer.His old excuses, which once pacified me, echoed alarmingly in my ears. They felt like a cruel mockery of how deeply I had loved him.Halfway through the movie, Bianca leaned seductively toward Cameron's ear. "Cam, reporters are waiting outside the cinema. Why don't we slip out early?""We're leaving first. Come out on your own later," Cameron told me.He got up and left with Bianca without even asking what I thought. I stayed in my seat, perfectly still, and quie

Third-Person POVBianca stood before Cameron in a pristine white wedding dress, a bouquet in her hands. Her smile froze on her face, and her eyes turned red as she asked shakily, "It's me, Cam. Aren't you happy to see me?"He fell silent, scanning the room for Willow's figure. She was nowhere to be seen."Cam, the whole internet is watching right now," she pleaded softly, deliberately lowering her voice. "Don't make me humiliate myself in front of everyone, okay?"True to his reputation as an award-winning actor, Cameron quickly regained his composure.Seeing him return to his usual gentle demeanor, Bianca beamed."Willow finally realized she was the unwanted one in this relationship. She told me to fight for my own happiness. I guess you can say she's pretty sensible sometimes—"The gentle mask on Cameron's face slowly cracked.He seethed, asking through gritted teeth, "What on earth did you say to her? Whatever's going on between us is just a PR stunt. You don't actually thin

Willow's POVCameron had even announced our relationship online, publicly admitting to all the terrible things he had done to me. He hoped the posts would reach me and that I would eventually forgive him.When Melanie told me all this, I felt nothing. I couldn't even summon the slightest interest.I simply said, "From now on, I don't want to hear anything about him, nor do I want to see him again…"Melanie comforted me like she was soothing a child. "Okay, okay. I promise I won't let him anywhere near you again."My condition continued to deteriorate. More and more often, I was plagued with pain throughout the night.One night, I received a call from an unfamiliar number. The moment I heard the voice, I knew it was Cameron."Willow, I know you're listening. Have you had enough of this? It's all my fault. I was stubborn and selfish… I've always loved you, Willow. Could you please forgive me?"We can start over again. We'll go abroad. They have the most advanced medical technolog

Willow's POVSeeing Dad's reaction and remembering everything that had happened, Melanie finally asked the question that had been weighing on her mind."Mr. Young, I just can't understand why you'd treat your daughter like that. You're so good to your stepson. Why couldn't you spare even a little of that love for your own daughter?"Then again, she wasn't a man. You have a son now, so naturally, you abandoned your daughter."Dad was at a loss for words. He just kept mumbling to himself."She's my daughter. I raised her myself. Now that she has a stepbrother, as family, they should look out for one another. He'll remember what she's done for him, too."I'm getting old and useless. If her husband's family ever mistreats her, at least she'll have a brother to stand up for her…"Her boyfriend is a huge star. He has plenty of money. The news says he makes 2.08 million a day! I only asked her for 30 thousand! If she didn't want to give it to me, she could've just said no. Why make up
