LOGINThat night, drunk and heartbroken after her fiancé’s betrayal, Celeste accidentally sent her masturbation video to her boss, Lazarrus Walkez V, the ruthless billionaire who lives in permanent numbness. The next morning, a single text arrived, “Come to my office, Little doe.” From that moment…he offered her a dirty deal, and she became the only one who could awaken the monster that had been dead inside him. Revenge turned into obsession. Obsession turned into love.

“Tomorrow morning, bring me one sex doll with a perfectly round butt!” I stared at my phone screen with wide eyes. I could hardly believe what I just read. A short message from a number saved as L.W.V. That was my boss’s number. What a weird boss! Where am I supposed to buy sex doll with a round butt? Stuff like that is not sold in regular stores. Damn, why are billionaires always asking for weird things?! I cursed under my breath, almost shouting it out loud in the quiet apartment hallway. It was only my first official day as an intern secretary at Walkez Tower, my first day going home from work, and my boss already gave me a task to buy something perverted. I let out a long sigh and roughly shoved my phone into my sling bag. Whatever. At least tonight I still had a reason to be happy. Today was my third anniversary with my fiancé—Leon. I had planned everything. I would show up unannounced at the apartment we bought together, bring his favorite chocolate cake, and give him a sweet surprise before we fell into each other’s arms. That crazy sex doll could wait. I would think about it later, after celebrating our anniversary. I planned to ask my fiancé help me find the doll. Who knows…maybe he had connections who could help. Because all this time, he always had a solution for every problem I had. He really was the best! Plus, my fiancé had admired my boss for a long time. He always said that L.W.V, also known as Lazarrus, was a cool and very rich billionaire. Leon hoped one day he could become like my boss. If I asked him to help find the thing my boss wanted, Leon definitely wouldn’t say no. I walked toward the apartment lobby with a light heart. The building still looked the same as a week ago, when I decided to temporarily move to a small rented room near my new office. I pressed the elevator button with a small smile, imagining Leon’s face when he opened the door later. He would be shocked, then laugh, then hug me so tight I couldn’t breathe. Three years is not a short time. We had been through so much together—tiring college years, unpaid internships, saving little by little for the down payment on this apartment, and the promise that one day we would get married on the beach when everything was stable. Tonight I wanted to remind him that we were still on the same path and would get married in just a few months. The elevator stopped at the seventeenth floor. I stepped out. My low heels clicked on the marble floor. In front of door 17B, I took a deep breath, took the cake box out of the brown paper bag, and put on my best smile. There was no doorbell. I knocked three times softly, our old secret code. No answer. I frowned and knocked again, harder this time. Still nothing. Maybe he was in the shower? Or asleep? Or maybe he forgot what day it was? I took out my phone to text him, but before I could type, I heard sounds from inside—A woman’s laughter. Then Leon’s hoarse, passionate voice, the one he only ever used with me. “Baby… slower… the neighbors will hear…” “Fuck me hard!” a woman shouted. My heart stopped. I pressed my ear to the door, hoping I heard wrong. The door was slightly open because it wasn’t locked properly. I pushed it gently, and it really wasn’t locked. So I walked right in. In the bedroom, I clearly saw Leon naked, hugging a blonde woman who was only wearing his white shirt—the shirt I gave him last year. Oops! It wasn’t just one woman. There were two! A dark-brown-haired woman was kneeling on the bed, completely naked except for torn black stockings on her thighs. She was bent over, slowly licking Leon’s stomach, while Leon’s other hand roughly squeezed her breast. “How disgusting!!!” I said out loud. They heard me and all turned to look at me at the same time. “You cheated on me, Leon? You did this behind my back? You’re so disgusting!” Leon almost jumped off the bed. The blanket fell, showing his naked sweaty body. His eyes were wide, his mouth open, but no sound came out. The blonde woman wearing his shirt frowned and raised an eyebrow at Leon. “Leon, you have another girlfriend besides the two of us?” I felt like I had been slapped. “What do you mean ‘besides the two of us’?” My voice was hoarse, barely audible. “We’re polyamorous relationship, Sweetie. More partners in one relationship, everyone knows and agrees. But it looks like Leon forgot to tell us he still had… you?” she said. What the fuck?! I seriously had no idea about this. The woman in black stockings rubbed Leon’s open thigh and said, “Actually, I already knew.” “You’re Celeste, right?” she continued. “Yes, I am.” “Last night Leon said Celeste’s pussy doesn’t turn him on anymore. So he was just waiting for the right moment to break up. Looks like the moment is now, huh?” Damn! I stared at Leon. “Today is our third anniversary, Leon! We’re getting married in three months! You… you’re so cruel!” Leon said nothing. His eyes looked sad, but he let the blonde woman keep touching his chest. “Leon is super drunk right now,” the blonde said with a sweet smile. I couldn’t take it anymore. Tears poured down my face. “I hate you! It’s over! Forever!” I threw the cake box at them. His favorite chocolate cake smashed all over the floor. Then I turned and ran. I slammed the door so hard the elevator shook. In the hallway, I cried loudly while pressing the elevator button over and over. I was truly sad at that time, and I could strongly feel depression starting to creep in. How could I not be? After three years in a relationship, I had no idea that my fiancé had a tendency to want more than one girlfriend. And at that time, he was sleeping with two women at the same time. Like, honestly, it was the biggest betrayal of my life! So, I went to the 24-hour store and bought two bottles of alcohol. I took them back to my rented room. I drank until I was totally drunk and the world was spinning. I cursed Leon’s name again and again. “Leon, you bastard… jerk… liar…!” Because I was drunk and very angry, my hand slipped into my own underwear. I started masturbating myself. I recorded a video while crying, cursing, and my fingers moving wildly. Because he said my pussy didn’t make him turn anymore, so at the end of the video I looked at the camera with red eyes and a rough voice—“This is what you’ll never touch again, asshole!” I opened my contacts, scrolled to the letter L… Leon. I hit send without thinking twice. *** The next morning, exactly 7 a.m. My head felt like it was being hit by a giant hammer. My mouth was dry. It smelled like alcohol and regret. I glanced at the clock. “OH GOD! I’M LATE!” I’m supposed to be at the office right now! I got up and almost fell. My phone turned on again after charging all night. A notification appeared. One new message. I only read it from the lock screen. From: L.W.V: “Come to my office, Little Doe.”LAZARUS The boardroom was silent. Fifteen men and women sat around the long mahogany table, their eyes fixed on me. The quarterly reports were spread across the polished surface. Projections. Acquisitions. The usual noise that filled my days before Celeste. I was barely listening. My phone buzzed in my jacket pocket. I ignored it. The meeting was important. A merger worth three hundred million. Every person in this room was counting on me to make the final decision. It buzzed again. Then again. Something cold settled in my chest. "Excuse me," I said, standing. The executives exchanged glances. I never took calls during meetings. Never. I stepped into the hallway and pressed the phone to my ear. "Report." Davis's voice was strained. Almost panicked. I had never heard him panic before. "Sir. Miss Celeste. She's gone." The world narrowed. "What do you mean, gone?" "We were at the plaza. She was shopping. A van pulled up. Five men, maybe six. They took her. Marcus is down.
CELESTE "Fuck you!" I screamed to his face. He looked happy. The warehouse smelled of rust and decay. They had dragged me inside after the van stopped. Rough hands on my arms, my shoulders, my hair. I stumbled on the uneven concrete floor, my bound ankles making it impossible to walk. So they carried me. Like I was nothing. Like I was garbage. They threw me onto a wooden chair. The legs scraped against the floor, a sound that echoed off the high ceiling and the corrugated metal walls. I looked around. The space was enormous. Abandoned. Broken windows lined the upper walls, letting in slivers of moonlight that cut across the darkness like knives. Old machinery loomed in the corners, rusted and forgotten. The air was cold and damp and smelled of mold. And in front of me, leaning against a metal table with his arms crossed, stood Leon. He was smiling. Not the sad, broken smile from the café. Not the desperate, crying expression I had seen when he confessed about Sarah
CELESTE The afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the pavement. I stepped out of the boutique with three shopping bags hanging from my arms. The silk scarves inside were for my mother. The leather journal was for Lily, who had started writing again. The small velvet box contained a pair of sapphire earrings I had bought for myself, because Lazarus had looked at me that morning and said, "Buy something that makes you happy. Not for me. For you." So I had. The security guards, Marcus and Davis, followed at a respectful distance. They had been trailing me all week. Ever since the gala. Ever since Leon showed up at the mansion gates, drunk and shouting, demanding to see me. Lazarus had handled it. He always handled everything. But he had also doubled the security detail and told me never to leave the mansion alone. I didn't argue. After what happened at the gala, after Leon's hands on my wrist, I didn't want to be alone. But today, walking through the
CELESTEThe next morning, Anne was back.I was in the garden again, because I refused to hide in my room like a frightened animal. I was pruning roses—badly, with clumsy hands and a pair of garden shears that were probably worth more than my old car."You're still here," Anne said.I didn't turn around. "So are you."She walked around the rose bush until she was standing in front of me. Today she wore pale pink, a soft color that made her look innocent. I knew better now."I spoke to Lazarus last night," she said.I kept pruning. "Good for you.""He told me to leave. He said there was nothing between us anymore."I looked up then. "Then why are you here?"Anne's composure cracked. Just a little. I saw something raw in her eyes—anger, maybe, or grief."Because I don't believe him," she said. "The Lazarus I knew would never have chosen someone like you over someone like me.""Someone like me?""You know what I mean." She gestured at me, at my simple clothes, my unmanicured hands, my hai
CELESTEHe reached inside and flipped a switch. Soft amber light filled the room.It was his bedroom.The space was large but intimate—dark wood, a fireplace, a bed that seemed to take up half the room. The sheets were black, the pillows piled high. The windows faced the garden, moonlight spilling

LAZARUSHer lips parted. "That's... I didn't know...""Nobody knows. My doctors, my personal assistant, and now you." I gestured at the room. "These dolls are the only way I could satisfy physical needs. They don't expect anything. They don't disappoint me. They don't remind me of what I'm missing.
LAZARUSThe car ride was silent.Celeste sat beside me, her small hand resting on the seat between us. I could see her watching the city lights through the window, her reflection in the glass showing a face still pale from the encounter with her ex.Leon.I had seen the way he grabbed her.
