Celeste’s POV

“Kindly stuff your reprehensible delusions where they won’t corrupt little minds.” I snapped, loud enough that Bonnie and Molly glanced up in confusion.

Damien’s jaw twitched, but Vanessa gave a light, practiced laugh, the kind that didn’t touch her eyes.

“We’re just here for our daughter, Celeste.” She said in a lighthearted, patronizing tone. “No need to make this dramatic.”

My entire frame tensed. Where did she find the audacity to call Bonnie her daughter to my face?

“Funny.” I said in a biting tone. “Drama seems to follow you two around like a putrid stench.”

Damien’s grip on Vanessa’s waist tightened, but she radiated serene warmth.

“We’re here to take Bonnie home today,” he announced, spreading an arm out as though unveiling a gift. “We’ve planned a special surprise for our little princess.”

Bonnie’s eyes widened. “What is it?”

“We’re throwing a gender reveal party for your baby sibling this weekend,” Vanessa said brightly. “And guess who’s in charge of the big

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

    Celeste’s POVAfter tossing and turning all night, I gave up on sleep and headed to my studio at the crack of dawn to sketch my design ideas for our light luxury line. The familiar sound of lead sliding on paper calmed the storm in my mind, and the creative juices flowed.I was determined to make this a success.“I knew I’d find you here.” a sudden, smug voice startled me.I jumped, cutting a thick, dark line through my design.“Sorry, love,” Grace said, wincing when I glared up at her. “Peace offering?”I eagerly accepted the coffee and croissant she held out.“All is forgiven.” I smiled gratefully. “I was so excited to get my ideas on paper that coffee didn’t cross my mind.”She raised an eyebrow. “You’re a caffeine addict who forgot about coffee? Are you sure the new line is all that’s on your mind?”I chuckled. “You know how I get when I hyperfocus on my work.”“Our apartment walls are thin, Celeste.” She said gently. “I heard the Bridget Jones marathon playing all night.”I tore a

    Damien’s POV“Stop running away, you little bastards!” I hissed under my breath. I chased the eggshells in the bowl, about ready to pull out my hair as they seemed to be repelled by my fingers. “Fuck it,” I muttered as I rewinded the pancake tutorial, smearing egg on my screen. Nobody would notice a few egg shells.“Bon-Bon, Daddy’s almost done with breakfast! Finish brushing your teeth and come eat.” I yelled up the stairs.Today was the first day I’d been left completely alone with Bonnie since she was born. Celeste and Vanessa always acted like caring for her was a full-time job, but it was child’s play.A few minutes later, I was sliding the pancakes onto a plate with a smirk. “I’m sure your teeth are pearly white by now!” I called. “Come eat your yummy pancakes!”There was no response.I furrowed my brows and headed for Bonnie’s ensuite bathroom. Faint music grew louder as I approached the door and pushed it open.Bonnie sat on the toilet with her iPad, completely engrossed.“

    Celeste’s POV“Me? Jealous?” I scoffed, tilting my head to the side with a smirk. “Is that why I’m planning on approaching Michelle to form a partnership with Hughes Industries?”My words didn’t have the effect I imagined on Ryan.He retreated into himself for a few seconds. Then he ran a hand over his face and let out a heavy breath. When he raised his eyes to meet my challenging gaze, there was an overpowering intensity in their depths that made me swallow.“Celeste, I strongly discourage you from getting involved with Hughes Industries.” He said, his tone taking on a dark edge.There was nothing problematic about his words. But the authoritative tone in his voice, the fierceness in his eyes, told me it wasn’t simply a suggestion. It was an order.I narrowed my eyes. “Care to explain why you’re so against the idea that you’d order your boss around?”He studied me, hesitating for a moment, before responding.“I’ve heard chatter that Crown Luxe is after an exclusive supplier contract

    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 family is ridiculously wealthy.”I frowned and whispered back. “How do you know her background?”“During the studio’s crisis, I couldn’t get a wink of sleep from the stress. I stayed up combing the web for something to save us and came across Hughes Industries.” She leaned in closer. “She’s an heiress!”I glanced back at the polished woman and pursed my lips.Of course, she was born with a silver spoon. “Hughes Industries? Why does that sound familiar?” I asked, watching Ryan flash a dimple as he smiled at his girlfriend.Grace whispered excitedly. “They produce the highest quality precious stones and metals on the market. Several jewelry companies are fighting for an exclusivity contract wi

    Celeste’s POV“Grace, Ryan, I have a brilliant idea!” I said, as I hurried over to them. “We should launch a more accessible ‘light luxury’ jewelry line.”My assistant took the takeout bag from my hands while my business partner raised an eyebrow.“You look awfully cheery, considering what just happened with Bonnie.” She said, tilting her head to the side. “Where did this sudden business idea come from?”I smiled, thinking back to the fan I met.“I just realized that we’ve been focusing on ultra wealthy clients, but they’re the minority.” I said, excitement thrumming through my veins.“I don’t think now is the best time to be venturing into a new market.” Grace said, chewing on her lip. “We’re still trying to recuperate after Vanessa’s attack.”She fixed me with her concerned gray eyes.“Besides, don’t you think you should take a break to process everything that’s happened with Bonnie?” I shook my head. “A break is the last thing I need. Without worrying about Bonnie or fighting again

    Celeste’s POV“Celeste, are you sure you want to sign away your parental rights?” Grace asked as soon as I cut the call with my lawyer. “Isn’t that a bit too drastic? She’s your daughter, after all.”I could see Bonnie prancing to the checkout counter, Damien pulling out his wallet. Vanessa was her mother and Damien her father. She made her choice.Now I’ve made mine.“That’s the thing, Grace.” I said, wrenching my gaze from Bonnie. “From today, she’s just Damien’s daughter and Vanessa’s stepdaughter. I have nothing to do with her.”Ryan fixed me with his green eyes, peering into my soul. “I’m not buying it, Celeste.” He said, shaking his head. “There’s no way you’d leave Bonnie at the mercy of Damien and Vanessa. They make terrible parents.”Grace nodded. “That’s right. Think about her welfare–they have no clue what they’re doing.”I shrugged, but my shoulders were tense. “That’s not my concern anymore.”“They gave her food poisoning, for crying out loud,” Ryan said through clenched
