CELESTE

I didn't sleep a wink all night. I kept my gaze on the ceiling, wondering who could have sent the photograph and what they planned to gain.

Caspian had no business meeting up with our board members secretly and even if it was a mere coincidence, the fact that the picture was taken a day before I was reported for the project mismanagement made me even more suspicious.

It was the same time he threatened to pull off his strings if I wouldn't keep my side of the deal but if that was true,

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   62. The culprit

    CELESTE The building was empty by the time I arrived. It was not much of a surprise since no one comes to work during the weekend unless we have an event or something really important and we couldn't wait until Monday.I made my way to my father's office and I could hear muffled sounds down the hallway. He seemed to be having a heated conversation with someone but before I could pay attention to what they were talking about, the door swung open and Tristan stepped out.He forced out a smile that didn't reach his eyes as he walked past me. I looked back to see what the attitude was about. Tristan had been my father's secretary for as long as I could remember, and he was more like a big brother to me, so seeing his reaction immediately raised my suspicions.I pushed the door open to see my father holding a Zoom meeting. He lifted his finger, informing me to hold on before ending the meeting shortly after.“What is going on? I thought something had happened when you told me to come imme

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   61. Aftermath

    CELESTEI hadn't slept once over the past few days. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw were images of Caspian and me, fucking in his office.If anyone had told me that a day would come when I'd stoop so low, I'd laugh in their face and tell them it was impossible.I wanted to blame my wolf for constantly giving me mixed feelings. I wanted to blame him too, but deep down, I knew I couldn't blame anyone but myself.The worst part was how my body had been aching for his touch ever since. I could still feel his imprint all over me and the shame wouldn't even allow me to look at myself in the mirror.“Are you listening to me?” Hilary snapped her fingers in my face, pulling me back to reality.“Huh? Yes. I mean—”She narrowed her eyes and I exhaled sharply. “Something is bothering you,” she said as a matter of fact. “You've been acting so weird since the day we went to the club with Simon. Did something happen? I heard that little whore showed up. Is this about Declan, then?”I shook m

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   60. Intense makeout

    CELESTE’S POV.With my blood still boiling through my veins, I stepped into Caspian’s sleek corner office, the city skyline glittering behind the floor-to-ceiling windows. I swallowed, my heart hammering hard against my ribs even though I kept my chin high, and my head up.I tried not to think about it, but thinking about the fact that this was the first time we’d be alone since those explosive arguments weeks ago where sharp words had been exchanged, lingering stares, and things left unsaid.“Business partners don’t play childish games, Celeste. Fix it.” My father’s voice rang in my head, and even though I’d tried to maneuver my way out of the situation, he had insisted that I handle it personally.I really didn’t want to be here, the last thing I wanted to do was face that prick, but with my father breathing down my neck, and business that needed to be discussed, I knew I couldn’t possibly escape this meeting.My eyes met Caspian, he sat behind his massive mahogany desk, dark suit j

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   59. Additional Work

    CELESTE It's been a long day and I regretted taking a few days off work after the whole poisoning thing. No one else knew about it since I had just taken a sick leave and Caspian hadn't reached out to me since then.I knew I shouldn't have spoken to him the way I did because he was just worried about me but there was something about his voice that pushed me to the edge. Why would he even think Hilary would want to harm me? And asking about Simon out of nowhere just felt somehow too.Even though we've only known him recently, that didn't mean I'd start suspecting him for what happened after all, he had no reason to harm me.A part of me felt like he spoke to me in that manner because of what happened between us and I couldn't help but snap back at him.Neither of us has spoken about what happened at the club and I don't know which was worse. Pretending it never happened or avoiding each other right after having shared that intimate moment.I shoved the thought away before it could lin

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   58. Annoying ex

    CELESTE It's been a little over a day and I've been in bed. It was getting a little uncomfortable since I wasn't used to being bedridden, especially not in the hospital.My fingers twirled over the bright screen of my mobile phone as I checked through the news feed hoping to pass the time.The door opened and Hilary walked inside. I wasn't expecting her to come yet because the last time we spoke, she told me she was thirty minutes away. She took one look at me and her whole face crumpled for just a second before she controlled it. "You're awake," she said quickly.I pushed myself upright against the pillows. My arms felt a bit weak from lying on my side for a long time. The hospital bed was uncomfortable but I managed it. "You didn't have to come," I said, setting my phone aside. "Don't say that to me right now." She said, dropping her purse while she crossed to the chair beside the bed, dropping into it and leaning forward."What really happened?” She asked curiously. “I heard yo

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   She was poisoned

    CASPIAN Poisoned. The word echoed in my head like a broken disk. Celeste had been poisoned. My blood ran cold and for a terrifying second, I forgot how to breathe. Who poisoned her? Why would they go after her? What was their sick intention?My body shook violently as I stared at her pale skin. She looked devastatingly fragile lying on the hospital bed. A wave of anxiety rushed through me, choking my lungs as different thoughts invaded my mind.What if I hadn't called her tonight? What if this had happened while I was stubbornly trying to give her space after our argument? Who would have protected her then? The thought of something happening to her sent chills down my spine. My jaw clenched as I found my voice.“Are you sure you're not mistaken?” My voice cracked with emotions. “It could be just severe food poisoning. Do you want to run another test on her for confirmation?” “Of course not,” the doctor muttered, stepping back slightly and a knot tightened in my stomach. “I'd ha

    CELESTE“If I were you, I'd save myself the embarrassment and just stay at home tomorrow.”Caspian’s words rang in my head as I stepped into my office, but I refused to play by his rules. I refused to marry another man for a little gain, only to get a divorce shortly after.He'd move on. They alway

    CELESTE Declan didn't need a reminder before storming out of my office. If looks could kill, I'd be buried six feet under from the murderous look in his eyes when he left.Time was ticking and I still didn't know what response to give Caspian, but one thing was certain. Sitting here wouldn't help

  • DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING   20. Claiming Territory

    CELESTE I didn't sleep a wink all night. Caspian’s demand made no sense at all. It was a different thing if what he was asking was for me to dress up and smile in front of the cameras, but marrying him?I texted him all night, dialling his number to see if we could reason things out, but nothing.
