No Way to Win Me Back Chapter 595
Celeste’s POVThe penthouse was quiet that evening, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun filtering through the tall windows.The city beyond sparkled, but all I could focus on was the way Ryan stood across from me, leaning casually against the edge of my drafting table, his eyes calm, steady, familiar.I’d spent months navigating boardrooms, press conferences, and the chaos of our intertwined lives, but tonight, it felt as though the world had shrunk down to just him, just us, just the life we had built together.Molly had been tucked into her room hours ago, insisting on reading herself to sleep, though I knew she had fallen asleep halfway through her book.The silence in the penthouse was soft, comforting, but it also carried a charge, a tension I couldn’t ignore. Ryan had been quiet since dinner, unusually quiet, and there was that look in his eyes I had learned to recognize over the months I’ve known him, the one that always came right before he said something important.“Cel

Celeste’s POVThe morning air at the International Jewelry Association headquarters carried that crisp, electric energy only a city in motion can have.I adjusted the lapels of my blazer, feeling the weight of the title I had earned, Chairman of the IJA, settle over my shoulders like an armor I had grown into.Across the polished conference table sat Ryan, representing Aurora, Crown Luxe reborn, the man I had built a life with, my partner, my anchor. Our eyes met briefly, and I could feel the unspoken acknowledgment: rivals in name only.The boardroom hummed with voices, designers, directors, and industry insiders, each vying for influence, each aware that two of the brightest forces in jewelry design were in the same room.I took my seat, straight-backed and poised, Molly’s laughter still echoing in my mind from the night before. She was safe, happy, and ours, a joy that made the gravity of this position easier to bear.“Chairwoman Sinclair,” Liu began, his eyes sweeping the room befo

Ryan’s POVThe morning light spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, painting the living room in gold. I watched Celeste shift through the paperwork on the dining table, Molly’s little feet padding around us, and I couldn’t help the swell of something deep and quiet inside me.“Okay, I think we have everything,” Celeste said, exhaling and tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She looked up at me, and for a moment, just like that, the chaos of the past months, the press, the mergers, exposing my father, rebuilding Rosemary Atelier, felt miles away. It was just us, and Molly, and the life we’d chosen.I stood behind her, resting a hand on her shoulder, letting her feel the grounding weight of my presence.“Are you ready for this?” I asked softly.She smiled, but it wasn’t the casual smile she sometimes wore in public. This one was layered, determined, tender, almost reverent.“I’m ready. She’s ready. And I’ve never been more certain of anything.”I nodded,

Celeste’s POVThe Atelier hummed with its usual rhythm, machines whirring, jewelry pieces being inspected, Rachel and Jenny discussing a new chain design. I was leaning over my drafting table, adjusting a wax model of a ring, when the sound of the front door opening drew my attention.“Celeste?”I looked up and froze for a split second. Vivian. She didn’t usually drop by unannounced, not in the middle of the day, not without some pretext. She stood there, the sunlight catching the faint gold in her hair, and her expression was serious, almost determined.“Vivian! What—” I started, but she cut me off with a small gesture.“I need a minute. Just you.”Her tone was unusual, steady, sure, and unflinching. That made me tense. Something in the way she looked at me told me this wasn’t a social call. Not at all.I set the wax model down carefully and gestured toward the back office. “Okay… let’s talk there.”We walked in, and she shut the door behind us. For a moment, the only sound was the fa

Vivian’s POVThe morning light came soft and golden through the windows, dust motes floating lazily in the air.Molly had already been up for what felt like hours, bounding around with the sort of energy only a seven-year-old can sustain.I sipped my coffee and watched her, trying to catch some of her enthusiasm, letting it settle over me like a warmth I hadn’t realized I’d needed.“Mommy,” she called from the living room, voice tinged with urgency, “I drew a picture of Uncle Ry-ry and Mama Celeste!”I set my mug down and walked over, trying to suppress the smile that threatened to take over my face. There, on the little table near the window, was a chaotic swirl of colors: two stick figures with big smiles, a tiny house in the corner, what looked like a diamond hovering somewhere between them. Molly looked up at me, eyes shining.“They’re happy,” she said proudly. “I made them really happy.”I knelt beside her, taking in the picture. “You did a wonderful job,” I said softly. “They loo

Celeste’s POVThe Atelier was buzzing in a way that felt electric, yet grounded. Not chaotic, not unmanageable, just alive.The sunlight slanted across the studio floor, glinting off metal and gemstones, and the air smelled faintly of wax, polishing solution, and new beginnings.I’d moved through the halls the way I always did: checking designs, approving suppliers, gently nudging Rachel and Jenny when something needed refining.Only today, there was an added undercurrent, a current of excitement and recognition that hummed beneath every interaction.“Celeste!” Rachel called, bounding toward me with a sketch pad clutched in her hands. “You have to see this. The Winter capsule launch coverage is out.”I smiled, my chest tightening a little. “Already? Let me guess—orders are up?”Jenny, perched on a stool nearby, grinned. “Up? Celeste, they’re through the roof. The industry press is practically calling us the antidote to Crown Luxe’s… whatever that mess was.”I laughed softly, shaking my

Celeste’s POVSilence descended over our group.I glared at Damien, daring him to tell me I was wrong. I wouldn’t put it past such an arrogant and self-centered man to deny that he tore a chasm between Bonnie and I with his affair and the way he mistreated me.But he stood tight-lipped and stiff w

Celeste’s POV“Let’s discuss dinner with your parents later.” Ryan said awkwardly.I couldn’t listen to these lovebirds a second longer. I had just pulled out my phone when Grace sidled up to me and spoke in a hushed tone.“That’s Michelle Hughes!” she said, eyeing the young woman discreetly. “Her
