CELESTEI waited for the mocking laughter to follow. Anything to indicate that this was all a joke to him, and he was thriving in my misfortune. This is the moment he had been waiting for after all, so there was no point holding back. What I didn’t expect was how low he’d be willing to stoop to rub it in my face.“Aren’t you enjoying this a bit too much?” I clenched my teeth, wiping off the dried tears that smug my cheeks.“I guess I am,” he shrugged. “But we can enjoy it together. Just say the word and I’ll help you get your revenge,” he muttered.For the first time in forever, Caspian looked serious about something. His muscles flexed underneath his shirt, and I could have sworn he was mad, but why would he be? Caspian hated me and detested my relationship with Declan even more. If this wasn’t another prank, I don’t know what it was.He inched closer, gripping onto my shoulder, and gods… He smells so nice. His eyes bore into mine, and we just stayed like that for a moment. I allowe

CASPIAN“We meet again, Raven.”A smile curved my lips as I stared at her doe eyes which were staring at me like I was the last thing she had expected. Her body flushed against mine, warm and soft, I could have her there forever. For a moment, I allowed myself to get distracted by her delicate features and admired her face.She looked ten times hotter than what I remembered, and whoever told her to wear this dress must have wanted to torture me all night, because how the fuck is someone allowed to be this hot?My gaze fell on her flushed lips as they parted, and the only thought that crossed my mind was to close the distance and kiss her until I was all she was worried about.“For someone who actively informs the world that she hates me, you sure look like you are having the best moment of your time in my arms,” I said, brushing my thoughts aside.Teasing Celeste is one thing I enjoyed doing the most, and the way she fell for it every damn time, shooting me a murderous look always mad

CELESTE“What the actual fuck?!” A familiar voice rang out as she stepped into my room, and it took everything in me not to roll my eyes.Hilary.If anyone would yell at a heartbroken woman on sight, it would be my best friend.Her heels clicked against the floor as she pushed the curtain open. “One would think your husband died, not just cheated on you,” she muttered under her breath, sinking her weight next to me.I didn’t respond.A week had passed since Declan signed the papers. I hadn’t stepped out of my room once, let alone spoken to anyone. The curtains stayed drawn, and the air felt heavy. Even breathing felt like too much effort.My eyes were dry as a desert. No tears left, no anger either. Just… nothing.“I can’t believe you allowed that bastard to do this to you,” Hilary said, clenching her teeth. “He should thank the moons that I wasn’t around when it happened. By the moons, if I come anywhere near him, I’ll be the one to send him to an early grave.”I felt nothing. Not ev

CELESTE “Is she going to be okay? Please… don’t tell her what happened,” a familiar voice echoed.The steady beep of a monitor dragged me from sleep. My head throbbed violently as if something was drumming in my skull. I tried sitting up, and immediately regretted it.I dug my nails into the sheet as pain shot through me.“Celeste?” My father rushed over to my side, worry etched in every line of his face. “Thank goodness… What happened? How did you collapse?” His lips moved, but I barely processed anything. The antiseptic smell hit my nose, making me feel dizzy.Why am I in a hospital?I tried to recall what happened, and then the memories came rushing back. Declan… the restaurant… the pictures. My breath caught.“Where is Declan?” My voice came out barely as a whisper.Father’s face stiffened. “He… he just left.”The lie was too smooth. Did he even know I was here? Or was he still wrapped in another woman’s arms, forgetting I existed?I reached for my phone on the nightstand, but a

CELESTE POV“I’m not going to stop the wedding. But I can promise you, the last thing we’d be is a real couple.” Declan’s words echoed in my head as I stared at the candles that had nearly burned themselves into puddles of wax.He had kept his promise.Tonight was our anniversary, and despite everything I had done to make it perfect, Declan Bronte still hadn’t shown up.The restaurant was quiet now. Even the boy band I had hired to create a romantic atmosphere stopped playing about an hour ago.Three hours. I had been sitting here, staring at the door, waiting for him to rush in and give an excuse for why he had to show up late, but there was nothing.“Would you like to place your order now, ma’am?” the waitress asked gently.I could feel their eyes on me. The staff had watched me sit here for hours, and the sympathy in their eyes made my skin crawl.I had booked the entire restaurant so Declan and I could have a quiet moment to ourselves, hoping that would bring us closer, but inst
