A Ruthless Revenge: the Billionaire's Ex Wife Is Back CHAPTER 152
Celeste’s POVThe music pulsed beneath my feet like a second heartbeat as I stepped into Crave Bar. Dim lighting, neon glows, chatter and laughter overlapping in a chaotic way, instantly making me a bit heady. But I’m here for an important reason, I reminded myself silently as I made my way through the crowd. My gaze swept through the place, half-expecting Genevieve to jump out at me. But she was nowhere in sight. God. How many lives does this woman have? I can’t believe she could still be alive! That she’d planned all that to escape prison!I swallowed hard, eyes narrowing as I scanned the booths, the bar, the shadowy corners where someone like her could slink in unnoticed.Officer Kessler had messaged me just hours ago. Said he had more to tell me. Said she’d been spotted here more than once—and that I should see the place for myself. Maybe she’d show up again or we’d find some clue here. A sharp pang of unease twisted in my gut, but I straightened my back. I really didn’t know

Celeste’s POVI stared at him, at that twisted smile stretching across his face like a wire pulled too tight. His words rattled cruelly in my head. And I just stood there, fuming.Not just at him, but at myself too. At the part of me that let him in. That told myself I owed him something—because he took a blade to the chest for me. Because he nearly died saving my life. I didn’t do it out of trust or hope—I did it out of guilt. Out of some warped sense of responsibility. And maybe, just maybe, the tiniest flicker of belief that he’d take the second chance and become a better person. I actually had started to believe that I could completely forgive him and we could be friends. What a joke.Now? I just wanted to punch that part of me in the face.I clenched my fists as his eyes roamed the room again, lingering on more of Theo’s things like they were evidence in some twisted crime.Then he turned to face me again. “It’s impossible,” he repeated with a smirk. I spun on my heel and mar

Celeste’s POVMichael stared at me like he wasn’t sure if I was joking or temporarily high on my own bad decisions. I didn’t blame him. I barely recognized myself lately either.I gave him a small, tired smile. “Why not? It’s not like my life here is a masterpiece. I could use a fresh start too.”His eyes widened, and just as I was about to explain what I meant—there was a knock at the door.Three sharp raps.I froze.Michael’s brow furrowed. “Are you expecting someone?”“No,” I said, the word catching in my throat. My eyes narrowed as I stood up and padded toward the door, wondering who it could be. Probably not Theo. I’d repeatedly told him not to check on me until after his important meeting today. I opened the door and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. I felt my heart lurch.Damien!He stood there like a ghost from the past, just as striking, just as infuriating, and just as unwelcome. His eyes darted behind me, scanning the room before settling on my face. His jaw was

Harper’s POVI hated that he could still do this to me—stand there, say two words, and leave me feeling crazy. I swallowed the heat crawling up my neck and rolled my eyes, forcing a shrug like I didn’t care. Like I hadn’t just been pinned between him and a wall with every nerve in my body firing off insanely. I cleared my throat, deliberately. “You’re blocking the way.”Michael stepped back, just barely. Air rushed into my lungs like I’d been drowning. God.I tugged my jacket into place and lifted my chin. “Didn’t you say you’re staying here too? At this hotel?”His jaw ticked, but he nodded once.I waved vaguely toward the hallway. “Then yeah. You should go. Wherever.”I didn’t look at him. Couldn’t. I was too busy trying to keep my voice even, like I hadn’t just shattered into a thousand pieces under his gaze.Michael glared at me, and for a second, I thought he might yell—his eyes were lit with fire, not the slow kind, but the dangerous kind, the kind that scorched.But then—Bef

Celeste’s POVThe shot burned my throat in the best way possible. Or maybe the worst.I slammed the empty glass on the counter with more force than necessary. The bartender eyed me warily as he wiped the sweat from his temple.“Another?” he asked, already reaching for the bottle.I nodded. “Let’s kill the bottle, Jett-with-two-Ts. Or is it one?”He laughed nervously. “It’s one T, actually.”“Of course it is,” I muttered. “You look like a one-T kind of guy.”He poured the next shot without further questions. Smart man.Because I wasn’t in the mood for questions. Not tonight.Not when my pride had just been flattened by a man I almost forgave.Forgive Damien Sinclair? What the hell was I thinking?I tossed the next shot back like it was water.“Easy there,” someone beside me muttered.I whipped around and stared blearily at a stranger—balding, mid-40s, with the unfortunate face of someone who thought saying things like easy there would help anyone.“You know what’s not easy?” I slurred,

Celeste’s POVThe door jingled softly behind me as I stepped out of the café, the warm scent of sugar and espresso trailing after me. The sun had dipped lower, casting a golden glow on everything it touched—the pavement, the benches, the rooftops, the little pink box cradled in my hands.I smiled to myself, already imagining the look on Damien’s face.Foxes. The cupcakes were topped with little frosting foxes—playful, sly, a little smug. They were ridiculously cute, which was exactly the point. I remembered teasing him once, not long after we’d met, that if he had a spirit animal, it would be a fox.“Mischievous, clever, the kind that always looks like he knows more than he’s saying,” I’d said with a grin.He’d rolled his eyes, but I saw the corner of his mouth twitch.“And secretly soft under all that fur,” I’d added. “But you didn’t hear that from me.”Back then, what I only knew about him was this—he was sharp. A natural leader in business. Confident, decisive. Yeah, he came with a
