All Chapters of The Billionaire's 200-Day Bride : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Jessica walked in and took her seat next to William, who didn’t tear his gaze away from her from the moment she entered, obviously surprised to see her there.“What are you doing here?” William asked in a low tone, audible only to Jessica.“Attending the wedding, of course. Louis invited me,” Jessica said nonchalantly.Concern flashed in William’s eyes. “Are you sure you’re okay with it? I mean, Louis... he’s your...”Jessica smiled reassuringly. “William, I’m perfectly fine. He’s in the past, and that’s where he belongs,” she said firmly.Just then, a classical tune began playing, and the hall went silent as the bride walked down the aisle, accompanied by her father. Her white gown swept elegantly behind her, her makeup flawless, making her look like an angel descending from heaven.“Enjoy the show,” Jessica whispered to William before turning to watch the event. William, however, kept his eyes on her, knowing full well she had something up her sleeve.“Take care of my daughter,” Ama

“Home sweet home,” Jessica said as they walked into the mansion. She turned to William, who was walking behind her.“So, I'll be retreating to my room. I'm very tired. Goodnight,” she muttered and turned to leave but stopped when she remembered something.“Before I forget...” Jessica began, fishing something out of her purse. She then handed a card to William.“It’s an invitation to the premiere of the movie I was part of. It'll be aired in three days. If you're free, you could come and catch a glimpse of the movie,” she shrugged.“Goodnight!” She smiled before leaving.William quietly went to his room. The room was quiet and gloomy, an aura he was used to, but strangely, he didn’t like it anymore.Maybe it was because he got used to sharing a room with her during their stay at his parents' house.William chuckled when he realized he was thinking of her again. Shaking his head, he began undressing. “William, you're a finished man,” he said to himself.After a quick shower, he changed

Jessica walked gracefully down the red carpet, smiling and waving at the cameras that flashed their lights at her. She slowed down when she saw a group of reporters in front of her.“Good evening, Miss Jessica. You look stunning,” one of the reporters said.Jessica smiled. “Thank you.”“Any words about the movie? Can you give us a little spoiler?”“Well, all I have to say is that it's going to have a different ending from what you expect,” Jessica replied.“Concerning the recent viral news about you almost getting assaulted by Mr. Oliver Martins— is it true? If yes, how do you feel about it?” another reporter asked.“Well, I was indeed almost assaulted, but I would never have guessed it to be Oliver. It's quite disappointing, but I stand by justice, and I believe whatever fate he gets, he deserves it,” Jessica said. Then, she suddenly smiled. “However, words can't explain how much I'm grateful for my anonymous savior. Thank you for saving me that night. With that said, I'll be leaving

Jessica's gaze never left William as he made his entrance. Her thoughts raced in all directions, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. Why is he here? How does he know where I am? And what will happen to Evan?Evan, unaware of Jessica’s internal turmoil, smiled warmly and stepped forward to greet William. “Mr. Newman, it’s so nice to see you around. Good morning,” he said, extending his hand for a handshake.William’s icy gaze dropped to Evan’s hand, lingering on it as if it were the most repulsive thing he had encountered that day. Then, his eyes moved up to meet Evan’s gaze, sharp and unyielding. He didn’t bother to return the gesture.Evan hesitated, his smile faltering as he slowly retracted his hand, folding it by his side. He cleared his throat awkwardly. “Mr. Newman, could it be that you came to see Mr. Rodgers?” he asked, his voice slightly strained.Jessica frowned, glancing between the two men. “Why would he want to see Mr. Rodgers?”Evan turned to her with a slightly puzz

Jessica stared at William with wavering eyes, her lips slightly parted in shock. She wasn’t expecting this from him—not now, at least. William cupped her cheek and smiled. “I love you. That’s the only answer I have to all your questions,” he said, then chuckled as he reflected on everything that had happened between them. “I don’t know why it had to be you, but everything happens for a reason. Perhaps it was fate that brought you to me that night... for you to bring warmth to my lonely heart. It all happened so fast, and the more I tried to fight it, the more you kept messing with my head and my heart. Now, I can’t fight it any longer. I love you, Jessica.” Jessica slowly shook her head, her gaze lowering. “No,” she muttered under her breath, her voice just loud enough for William to hear. “I... I don’t belong here. I don’t think I belong with you. What will the public say if they ever find out? And Louis—he’s your cousin, and—” “Louis has nothing to do with my personal life,”
