The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 150

Chapter 150: Finding her mother

Anya felt a lump form in her throat. Her relationship with Wendy had been just like she had thought she would with her own mother.

"Thank you, Wendy," Anya replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Wendy reached into her clutch, withdrawing a small velvet box. "I have something for you," she said, opening the box to reveal a delicate gold bracelet adorned with intricate filigree work and tiny pearls. "This has been in our family for generations. My mother gave it to me on my wedding day, and now I want you to have it."

Anya's eyes widened; she felt overwhelmed. "Wendy, I... I don't know what to say."

The older woman's eyes glistened with unshed tears as she fastened the bracelet around Anya's wrist. "You don't have to say anything, my dear. You've brought such joy into Daniel's life, into all our lives. This is my way of welcoming you into the family, truly and completely. Besides, if you react this way, how will you react to the properties Ray and Michael have prepared for you?"

"They really won't go overboard, will they?" Anya asked.

"How is that considered overboard? That is merely a greeting gift. According to tradition, Daniel needs to give you something of greater value. He didn't tell you?" Wendy asked. "No," Anya answered. The overwhelming feeling increased.

Marriage saw this and chuckled. "Don't worry too much. You don't want to stress the baby."

Taking in deep breaths, Anya embraced Wendy, careful not to wrinkle either of their dresses." Thank you," she whispered. "For everything."

Wendy pulled back, cupping Anya's face in her hands. "You're going to make a beautiful bride and an even more formidable addition to our family. Now, let's get you married, shall we?"

As Wendy left to take her seat, Anya turned back to the mirror, taking in her reflection. The vintage bracelet glimmered on her wrist. She suddenly felt a bit of calm wash over her. Before she knew it, Anya found herself at the entrance to the church, her arm linked with her father's. The imposing doors loomed before them, muffling the sound of the music inside. "Ready?" those at the door asked, and she took a deep breath and nodded.

Anya nodded, unable to trust her voice. As the doors swung open, the music Anya and Daniel picked filled the air.

She took a deep breath and stepped forward, her eyes immediately seeking out Daniel at the
