Semua Bab Reborn: I want my billionaire back : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Ezekiel Chen sat in his private office, the glow of the city’s skyline filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows. A faint smile played on his lips as he reviewed the details of his latest scheme. His fingers traced the edge of a polished crystal tumbler, filled halfway with an aged whiskey that he hadn’t yet touched.The invitation was already prepared, sent out to the most prominent figures in the entertainment industry. A grand dinner to unveil the cast and crew of Eclipsed Hearts, a new, highly-anticipated series that was already generating buzz in the media.Daisy Croft, of course, had been offered the lead role, handpicked by Ezekiel himself.The door creaked open, and one of his men entered, bowing his head low.“Everything is in place, sir,” the man reported. “The dinner will be held at the Montii's Hotel. Every major outlet and industry head will attend.”“Good,” Ezekiel replied, his tone calm yet commanding. He leaned back in his chair, the shadows cloaking his sharp fea

Louis Grant paced the expanse of his penthouse living room, his jaw clenched and his fists tight at his sides. The city lights outside framed his tall figure, but his mind wasn’t on the view. Instead, it was on the woman who stood across from him, her calm demeanor a stark contrast to his simmering frustration.“You’re telling me,” Louis said, his voice low but laced with tension, “that after everything—everything—you’re still going to take this job? A reality show, Daisy? Traveling around the world again? With the threats hanging over you?”Daisy Croft sighed, leaning against the back of the couch as she watched Louis with a soft, patient expression. She knew this conversation was coming the moment she accepted the reality show offer, and she had prepared for his reaction.“It’s an opportunity I can’t pass up, Louis,” she said gently. “You know how much this means to me. The exposure, the connections—it’s all crucial for my career.”“Your career isn’t worth your life!” he snapped, sp

The private jet hummed softly as it soared through the skies, the cabin offering a luxurious and serene environment. Daisy sat by the window, her gaze occasionally shifting from the clouds outside to the lively conversation happening beside her.“...and then he had the audacity to tell me that he deserved the lead role because he had better hair,” Veronica said, throwing her hands up in exasperation.Clara, seated between them, stifled a giggle. “Better hair? Wasn’t he balding?”“Exactly! That’s why I couldn’t take him seriously!” Veronica exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “But the worst part? He actually managed to convince the director to rewrite half of the script just to give him more scenes. Ugh, men!”Daisy couldn’t help but smile at Veronica’s animated storytelling. Veronica Lynn was nothing short of a force of nature—outspoken, dramatic, and unafraid to voice her opinions. Clara, on the other hand, was the perfect counterbalance—soft-spoken, sweet, and eager to ple

Ezekiel Chen sat in the dimly lit control room of his sprawling mansion, his eyes glued to the large screen in front of him. The live stream of the reality show played silently, capturing every laugh, every movement, and every word spoken by the cast. But Ezekiel wasn’t watching them. His gaze was fixated solely on Daisy.The warm glow of the bonfire reflected on her delicate features, her quiet elegance contrasting sharply with the boisterous energy of those around her. She was reserved, but not aloof—her small smiles and the occasional sparkle in her eyes when she chimed into the conversation were enough to draw him in.Ezekiel leaned back in his leather chair, the shadows playing across his chiseled face. He had always been meticulous, calculating, and detached, but Daisy... she had a way of breaking through the armor he had spent years perfecting.As he watched her, a memory crept into his mind, unbidden but potent.---It was three years ago, long before Daisy's rebirth and trans

Louis Grant sat in his office, the weight of his worry etched across his sharp features. The sleek space was silent except for the faint sound of tapping fingers against the desk as he combed through reports his team had gathered. Yet, no matter how much information they pulled up about Daisy’s activities, nothing could explain her recent moments of unease.His phone buzzed, breaking his focus. He picked it up and saw the name he had least expected: Ezekiel Chen.“What do you want?” Louis answered curtly.“I want the same thing you do,” Ezekiel’s calm, almost cold voice replied. “Answers about Daisy.”Louis leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowed. “Why would you care? I don’t trust you, Chen.”Ezekiel’s chuckle was low and laced with something Louis couldn’t place—perhaps a hint of rivalry or something darker. “Your trust means nothing to me, Grant. Daisy is important to me, and whether you like it or not, our goals align right now. If you’re smart, you’ll use that to your advanta
