THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH THE BURIAL
CHAPTER 19ANNAThe day of the funeral dawns gray and sad as if the sky itself mourns my father’s passing. I stand at the entrance of St. Mary’s Church, feeling the chill in the air seep into my bones. Friends and family mill around, their faces etched with sorrow, sharing quiet condolences and supportive hugs.Inside, the church is filled with the soft strains of Beethoven, the music echoing through the vaulted ceilings. The scent of lilies and roses fills the air, their white petals starkly contrasting to the darkness I feel inside. I take a deep breath and step forward, my heart heavy with grief. Damien really sorted everything as he said and I am grateful.As I walk down the aisle with Lola, I see my father’s casket at the front of the church, draped in a simple, elegant cloth. Tears blur my vision, and I feel Damien’s stare on me. Lola holds my hand, gently squeezing it, reminding me that I’m not alone.We take our seats in the front row, and I can feel the weight of everyone’s ey
THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH NEW BEGINNING
CHAPTER 20ANNAThe next morning, I wake up to a house that feels too quiet, too still. The weight of yesterday hangs heavily in the air, and I don’t move for a moment, staring up at the ceiling. It takes a few seconds to remember where I am—Lola’s guest room.I pull myself out of bed, every movement slow and heavy. The sunlight filters weakly through the curtains, casting a dull glow on the walls. It doesn’t feel like a new day; it feels like a continuation of the one before, as if time is stuck in the same endless loop of grief.I shuffle to the bathroom, splash cold water on my face, and stare at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes are puffy, red-rimmed, and exhausted. I barely recognize the person looking back at me. It’s like I’ve aged years in a day.When I finally step into the hallway, I hear the faint clinking of dishes coming from the kitchen. Lola’s already up, of course—she’s always been the early riser, the one who keeps things together. The smell of coffee drifts throug
THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH WEDDING PLANNING
ANNAI walk into the wedding planner's office with a knot of anxiety tightening in my stomach. Damien is already there, sitting stiffly in one of the plush chairs, his jaw set in a hard line. He barely glances up when I enter, his focus fixed on the wedding planner’s notes spread out on the table.“Glad you could finally make it,” he says, his tone clipped. The wedding planner, a petite woman with perfectly coiffed hair and a bright smile, looks up at me with a warm greeting, but I can barely muster a nod in return.I take a seat beside Damien, the tension between us palpable. My hands tremble as I reach for the glass of water in front of me, trying to steady my nerves. The planner starts going over the agenda, her voice chirpy and professional, but all I can hear is the echo of Damien's harsh words from our phone call.“We’ve got a lot to cover today,” the planner says, flipping through her notes. “First, let’s finalize the guest list. We need to make sure everyone important is includ
THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH THE LEAK
DAMIENI sit across from Anna in the wedding planner’s office, barely listening to whatever nonsense is being discussed. My mind is elsewhere—on the mess of this whole situation, on how suffocating it’s all become. She’s staring at me, I can feel it, but I refuse to meet her gaze. What’s the point? Every time I look at her, I see the weight of everything she’s been through, and it just drags me down.Then the planner’s phone buzzes, and I watch as she glances at the screen. Her face pales instantly, and she stammers something before pushing the phone across the table toward Anna. I keep my expression neutral. Whatever this is, I’ll deal with it like I always do.Anna’s hand shakes as she picks up the phone, and for a second, I almost feel sorry for her. Almost. But as soon as she reads the message, She looks at me like I’m some monster, and maybe I am, but I’m not about to grovel.“What is it?” I ask, my tone flat, completely unbothered. She whispers something about it being about m
THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH MIXED EMOTIONS
ANNA I’m still reeling from the video, the video of Damien intimate with the other lady still burns in my mind, but I force myself to stay calm. My heart feels like it’s been ripped out of my chest, but I can’t let that show. Not now. Not when we’re so close to the end of this nightmare. Every step feels like walking through molasses, slow and heavy, dragging me down. But I keep going. I have to. There’s no other choice.Damien is still seated, his face a mask of indifference, as if nothing has happened. As if that video, the one that’s tearing me apart inside, doesn’t exist. I honestly don’t even know why I am reacting like this. As he said this is a contract marriage.The wedding planner glances between us, her eyes filled with pity, but I refuse to meet her gaze. I’m not here for sympathy as I know the kind of person I agreed to marry.“Let’s just get through this,” I say, my voice sounding steadier than I feel. I don’t want to talk about the video, what I’ve seen, or what it mea
THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH THE TOUGH DECISION
ANNA I slump onto the couch, the weight of the day pressing down on my shoulders. My mind is a storm of thoughts and emotions, each one more overwhelming than the last. I don’t know how much longer I can keep holding it together. I feel like I’m going to break.Lola sits beside me, her face etched with concern. She’s been by my side through everything, and right now, she’s the only person I can trust. The only one who truly understands what I’m going through.“I can’t believe this is happening,” I whisper, my voice shaky. “I can’t believe I am getting married to that nonchalant fellow Damien in a matter of seven days.” Lola reaches out, taking my hand in hers. “I know, Anna. I know. But you need to think about what’s best for you. Do you want to marry him out of just fulfilment because I honestly believe that he doesn’t deserve you. I suggest you call this charade of marriage off Anna, just take a good look at yourself, girl. You’re a shadow of yourself, you’re not even married yet
THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH THE CONDITION
ANNAMy hands tremble as I stare at the phone, the weight of what I’m about to do crushing down on me. I’ve gone over this in my mind a thousand times, and yet, it feels impossible. How do I destroy Damine’s chances of getting access to his properties with a single phone call? I’ve spent the entire day pacing back and forth in my room, my thoughts a tangled mess. I can’t shake the feeling that I’m trapped, suffocating under the weight of something that was never supposed to happen. This wedding, this whole idea of Mr. Williams's last wish was about obligation, about fulfilling expectations that weren’t even ours to begin with.My heart races as I think about what I’m about to do. It’s not that I haven’t seen this coming—I’ve known for a while that things between Damien and me were off, that we were never meant to be.I take a deep breath and reach for my phone, my hand trembling slightly as I scroll to Mr Luis’s name. Just seeing his name there, so familiar, I press the call butto
THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH THE AGREEMENT
DAMIEN“I will only agree to this marriage on just one condition Damien.”“Alright, what’s the condition?”“You end all your sexual escapades.”I choke on the bottle of water that I am drinking. I let out a cough “What do you mean?”“You heard me right Damien. You have to end all your sexual escapades for me to agree to marry you.”“You got to be joking Anna. This is too much for me. I love this way of living. Ending it is going to make me miserable.” I say in a teasing tone.“Damien I am not joking with you on this one. I am not going to marry you if you don’t stop this lifestyle of yours.” Anna tells me in an annoyed tone.“Ohh calm down wifey, why do you want me to end all my amazing and inciting sexual adventures? Why are you in love with me already” I question her curious as to why she’s demanding me to do such a thing. I feel like she has developed some form of emotions for me which I realised from the very day Mr Smith died. I don’t want my assumptions to be true because as I
