All Chapters of He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Myra’s PovWhen I entered the party venue my eyes roamed the room searching for Pierce-no, for Adams or Jace. “Hey pretty woman.” Adams said as he approached me with Jace by his side. He gave me a quick hug before he stepped aside. This was the first time I was seeing Jace since failing my interview, but I had spoken to him on the phone.He punched my shoulder gently. “Better luck next time.” ”Thanks. When’s your callback audition?”It was then I saw Pierce. My heart ached as I had missed him. A lot. Fake relationship or not, I loved having Pierce around me.My lounging turned into anguish as I watched him brush a strand of hair from Tami’s face and lean into her, intimately. Her smile brightened even further. It tore through me like a knife. I looked away before I could witness more, like Pierce kissing her. “…so I won’t be here for long. I’ll have to get back home early.”“To practice your lines?” Adams asked,“No, to take a long nap, sleep is important.”“Are the both of you

When I had collected my breath, I moved gingerly to the back of the building. There had to be a back entrance.Found it!The parking area looked empty. Unless someone was in the car watching me break into the building. No it wouldn’t be breaking in, I had a keycard.As I walked to the door, I prayed it would work.I pressed it to the door and waited for the click.ClickI sighed and pushed the door, sliding between, before I shut it. Now I just had to find room B4. I weaved around the building, doing my best to avoid passing workers. Finally, I found the door I was looking for.When I walked it, I was stunned by all the activities. Everyone seemed to be busy with something that I looked odd just standing there.A man walked past me going through a list, unaware of the intruder-me. I needed to find the audition area.I heard a booming voice from a microphone.“Again Felicity. I need you to show passion. That man opposite you is the love of your life; I need to know it from looking at y

Jace was darn near bursting, it momentarily got my mind off my own dilemma. Jace being mad was definitely a favorite pastime.“She is not. My sister.” He said stiffly, just as Lily’s cheeks colored.Jeremy’s laughter died down as he looked between them, no doubt embarrassed he made the mistake.“She's actually mine…” I added with a sympathetic smile. “Oh, my bad…The way they were arguing, I thought…my mistake.”“It’s nothing to worry about.” I assured him. “Right, Jace?”“Nothing.” “I mean, if we’re being sentimental she would be a perfect little sister to you.” I grinned at him. “Thank God she’s not, I would’ve shipped her to France.”“I’d rather be in France than here with you.” Lily muttered as she chipped pieces of the table.Hannah turned the concoction she was making into one of the empty glasses and pushed it towards Lily and winked. She muttered her thanks. “I should return these, in case the bartender needs ‘em.” She packed up the shakers and hurried away from the table.

“Today really sucks huh?” Hannah sympathized. I let out a disgruntled breath in response. Since I joined her at our spot, I had planted my head permanently on the table with my eyes closed. To open them would mean I acknowledged my existence, and if I did, then my thoughts would stray to my evening with Pierce. And God, I wanted nothing more than to forget how willingly I gave myself to him. “And you refuse to tell me what Pierce did this time?” She poked my arm with a perfectly manicured finger.“I don’t wanna talk about it.” My voice came out muffled.“Gelato?”I propped my head up with my palms and watched as she gently pushed a bowl towards me. Pistacchio flavored. I grabbed a spoon.“You’re not ready to talk about Pierce, so let’s talk about work.”I let out a defeated groan and planted my head on the table again. Hannah chuckled, “Oh come on.”“My life so far has been one mistake after the other.”“Oof, that’s a bit harsh.”I raised my head. “I went through my script, Hannah

I blinked rapidly, no I wasn’t seeing things, it was really her.“Did you say… assistant director?” I asked. Her eyes met mine, accompanied by a gentle unsure smile. I understood why she glanced in my direction before introducing Tami. If she had done her research, then she had probably seen the rumors about me and Pierce.“Yeah, apparently her parents encouraged her to put her degree to use. I can’t tell if she approached O’Malley or he approached her.” She shrugged. “But I have a hunch that says she’s one of the sponsors for this film.”Sophia spoke animatedly while Tami smiled sweetly and listened. I stopped hearing Bianca’s words, the ringing in my ear, overshadowing the noise around me. So far Tami had only wielded Pierce’s attention to hurt me, both of us on set would be bad for me.My mind flashed to my evening with Pierce and I winced. Was this going to be a regular for the three of us?“Okay everyone, grab a seat around the table.” Rhonda announced. I didn’t notice when O’Ma
