CELESTE

We’re down to two options. Call Caspian. Let him smooth things over and save what’s left of my dignity or walk into his territory, request an audience like every other business partner, and convince him to sign the project with our company.

Easy.

I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through my hair.

They wanted proof. Fine. I’d give it to them.

The decision felt a lot braver in my head than it did when my car rolled to a stop in front of his company. The building towered over me and my br

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   12. Kiss Me While He Watches

    CELESTEHilary tried to block Declan from stepping in, but it was too late. Kyle had already spotted him.“Declan!” he called out, waving like this was one of those nights where our only problem was who got to eat the last slice of pizza.My stomach dropped as he walked past Hilary as if nothing had changed. Like he hadn’t— My breath hitched before I could even finish the thought, and then I saw her.Avery. She stood right next to him, smiling—the same one that had me deceived for years. My hands curled tightly against my palm, nails digging into my skin as I stared at them. Of all places he could have taken her, he chose here.Our eyes met the second he pushed the door open, and a familiar dread crawled in the pit of my stomach. How dare he? I didn’t think he’d be so shameless, but apparently, love had blinded me for years to see this side of him.“Who let the stray in?” Caspian’s cold voice rippled through the air, drawing my attention away from Declan for a split second. A deep f

    CELESTEI had less than twenty-four hours to impress the most difficult man I had ever met, and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. I curled up in my bed, staring at the ceiling.“My brother is coming back today and Father wants to throw him a party. You are coming, right?” Hilary stood in front of the mirror, checking out her outfit for the hundredth time. “I need to come up with something Caspian can’t refuse before the end of today or the Goldmine project won’t be ours,” I grunted into my pillow. God, I hate him so much.“Aren’t you like… official?” she arched her brows. “Give him good sex and…”“Hilary!” My cheeks flushed as I glared at my best friend. “What? People do it all the time,” she shrugged.“We aren’t official or anything, and I am actually starting to think doing anything with him is such a bad idea, so no. And the only reason he gave me such a ridiculous task is to test my patience and mock me, and I’d be damned to let that happen.”Hilary shifted her gaze from

Fine. I’d give it to them.The decision felt a lot braver in my head than it did when my car rolled to a stop in front of his company. The building towered over me and my breath hitched. I stepped out anyway. If he was going to give me a chance, I needed to show him I knew exactly what I was doing.The lobby fell quiet the second I walked in. Every head turned towards my direction, as whispers echoed in different directions.“Are they really together?”“I heard she divorced her husband to be with Alpha Caspian.”“I didn’t think she’d be such a pick-me.”My spine stiffened. Of course, they have all seen the news, but calling me a pick me? My husband cheated on me w

    CELESTE“You’re throwing me out for that thing?” she scoffed, shooting me a dirty glare.“That thing has a name, you know?” I said, having had enough of this madness. First, Caspian brought me here to finalize our deal only to show up with a stupid contract, and now this? We haven’t even agreed on anything and his ex is already being a bitch. Who knows what’s more to come?“Oh, you do?” she arched her brows. “I’ve heard everyone called you a defect for too long, I was starting to think that is your name.”My hands curled tightly beside me, but I refused to give her the reaction she wanted. “Defect, huh? And there you are trying so hard to get my attention. If you wanted free food, all you had to do was say it. No need to ruin my appetite over your nonsense.’I pushed my seat, ready to walk away.The reporters can take whatever pictures they want. I should have cared, but right now? I didn’t.Caspian grabbed my hands quickly, making me collide with his chest. My heart did a stupid back

    CHAPTER 8CASPIANI snapped my finger in the air, and Jason appeared with the paperwork I had drafted just for her. He bowed to Celeste as he approached our table, handed the papers over to me, and disappeared once again.“What is that?” Celeste raised her brows as she stared at the papers in my hand, curiosity shimmering in her eyes.“What is a deal without a contract?” The corner of my lips curved as I watched her confused expression. Her eyes dropped to the papers, then slowly lifted back to mine.“You’re serious?” She stared at me like I had grown two heads.I didn’t answer, I just watched her, letting it sink.“You’re not really going to make me sign that, yes?” she shook her head in disbelief.“Aren’t you all about boundaries? Or was that all a bluff?”She cursed under her breath as she stared at the papers I was still holding in my hands. She reached for it, but I held back my hands, making her stretch further. She leaned on the table, trying to get the papers in my hand, and I

    CELESTE“Bullshit!” Hilary burst into my room. The door slammed against the wall as she marched straight towards me, her heels clicking like it was doing a countdown to my death verdict. Before I could even sit up properly, she flung her phone at me.I barely caught it when her voice rippled through the air.“Care to explain that?”Her voice remained calm, but her eyes? They were on fire. I glanced down at the screen, and there it was. A very scandalous picture of me kissing Caspian at the gala.My gaze lingered at the picture for a moment, and god, did that look real. Whoever captured that moment made it look really believable. The way my hands were clutching onto Caspian’s shirt, drawing him closer… I didn’t remember doing that, and his eyes. The way he looked at me in the second slide made me breath caught.Anyone could easily mistake us for a real lover.“Well?” Hilary snapped her fingers in my face.“I—uh… it’s not what it looks like—”Hilary let out a sharp laugh, dragging a h
