Third-Person POV

After chatting merrily and celebrating with champagne, Ryan carried the empty glasses to the sink. He fetched a mop and rolled up his shirt sleeves.

“You ladies can go wash up first while I clean here,” he said, setting to work.

“Oh, don’t mind us,” Grace said, smirking at Celeste, who’d been distracted by the sight of his forearms. “We’re just admiring your… hard work.”

The designer flushed, mortified at being caught ogling her assistant. The slight veining in his toned arms was ridiculously hot. She nudged Grace with an elbow.

“Not this again!” She complained hushedly. “I thought you were done with your teasing.”

Grace smiled devilishly before calling. “Oh, Ryan, you missed a spot here.”

Celeste snatched the mop from his hands and shoved it into Grace’s. She shot daggers at her business partner as she pushed Ryan towards the bathroom.

“Actually, we’ve got this handled.” She said a little breathlessly. “Go clean up first.”

“No, Celeste, you–” he started.

    Third-Person POVAfter chatting merrily and celebrating with champagne, Ryan carried the empty glasses to the sink.

    Ryan’s POVPanic slithered into my chest. I ran a hand through my hair to mask my hesitation. Celeste stared up at me expectantly, a delicate smile on her lips that made my pulse stutter. There was no way she could have found out about my deal with Alice, right?“I’m not sure why James suddenly confessed.” I said, shrugging casually and schooling a nonchalant expression on my face. “Maybe he felt a pang of guilt for what he did and finally listened to his conscience.”Grace narrowed her eyes at me, her suspicion clear as day. I swallowed on impulse, then berated my body for doing everything in its power to show my guilt.“If I may interject,” she said, taking the paper microphone from Celeste. “The butler’s confession did seem coerced. You didn’t roughen up the old man, did you, Mr. Edwards?”My little game to ease Celeste from her daze was quickly backfiring. I chuckled as I gently plucked the makeshift microphone she held under my chin and unrolled the design draft. “Grace, do you

  • No Way to Win Me Back   Chapter One Hundred and Two

    Celeste’s POVI watched Julie and her butler leave in a daze. My heart glowed with joy. By some miracle, my career had been saved. Good things still happened, and for once, they were happening to me.Bill turned to me, and his arrogance and disdain vanished into thin air. He flashed me a fawning smile, sidling closer with glittering eyes. “I’m absolutely relieved that’s all cleared up.” He said, placing a hand over his chest. “From the moment we met, I’ve known you had a distinct and trustworthy character.”My mouth fell open. This man had just done a full one-eighty.Grace folded her arms over her chest. “So that eviction notice was a token of trust?” she asked, her tone scathing.“That was a simple misunderstanding.” He waved his hand with nonchalance. “I was only concerned that these untrue rumors and your damaged reputation would affect the property value. But all is well now that the truth is out.”“I don’t know about that, Bill. If your wife won’t even wear my jewelry, our rep

    Celeste’s POVBill looked down his nose at me. “You’re a fraud, Rosemary. The swarm of negative reviews, scathing online articles, and countless celebrities swearing off your brand proves it.”Each word hit me like a sledgehammer.He dug in his pocket and then tossed something at my feet like it was trash. I inhaled sharply, immediately recognizing the pair of earrings I’d designed.“My wife won’t even wear these anymore!” Ryan stepped closer to me. “Take it easy, buddy.”Bill glared at my assistant, enraged. But he sized up the lean, towering man and decided he would, in fact, take it easy.“We always pay our rent on time and have not once violated our lease agreement. You can’t evict us for no good reason.” Grace argued.“Your products are being boycotted and my other tenants–who are reputable business owners–are suffering by association,” Bill screeched, face blotchy with anger. “They’ve been coming to me in droves to complain that sharing a building with you is damaging their comp

    Celeste’s POVI froze in disbelief at the absolute nonsense Ryan was spouting. How could he accuse me of pushing him away for Damien when he was the one with the girlfriend?“I’ll take your silence as confirmation,” he said, voice hoarse.I spun around to face him, eyes flashing with anger and hurt.“Cut the crap Ryan. You’re the one who went off and got a new girlfriend a week after we slept together.” I said coldly. “I wish you happiness in your new relationship, but like I told you, I’m not looking for anything right now. Not with you and sure as hell not with Damien.”“Is that really how you feel?” He asked and something dark lurked within his voice. “Then why were you at the amusement park with Damien last night? You were walking around like one big happy family.”A shiver raced across my skin, and I narrowed my eyes with challenge and suspicion.“Are you seriously stalking me now?”I could see his anger bubbling below the surface, just waiting to snap. A twisted part of me wanted

  • No Way to Win Me Back   Chapter Ninety Nine

    Celeste’s POVI chewed on my lip, nails digging into the back of Grace’s chair, as she refreshed the order page for the hundredth time this morning. I shut my eyes and held back a string of curse words. Not a single one.“Any word from Celine?” I asked, my voice weak even to my own ears.I heard her clicking on her mouse and then a heavy sigh. “Why isn’t she responding?” Grace muttered anxiously. “Yesterday’s meeting went well, didn’t it?”Our lives were back-to-back meetings with clients, hunting after suppliers, burning the midnight oil to design and craft our jewelry in time. And in a matter of days, we had been reduced to this. Eyes glued to Grace’s computer screen, waiting for a single email.“Maybe she needs more time.” I said, attempting to be optimistic.I couldn’t stare at that screen without screaming a second longer. Sighing, I went to stand by the window and looked out at the street below with empty eyes. If I let myself feel my despair, I would succumb to it.The silen
