LOGINChapter 011overnight business trip Troy's POVIt felt like I'd gone too far but on the other hand, I felt relieved. Seeing her leave last night left me tossing and turning in bed.Every thought I had was interrupted by her face in my head, her smile. Her body in my oversized shirt kept replaying in my head and I felt like some crazy jerk.I had no other choice since I didn't even understand I felt, it could be pity. I must pity her so much that I hated her going back to that jerk she calls husband, how much I wanted to see her face.Maybe I only appointed her as my second assistant because I don't want to owe her anything, what I did wasn't anything personal, I just pity her.I was almost convincing myself until I heard a gentle knock on the door."Come in." I adjusted my tie and Celeste stepped in.Pity? When I saw her, It felt like I'd gone deaf, blind and the only thing I could see was her and the only sound was my heart racing when her eyes locked on mine."Mr Anderson." She ste
Chapter 010Troy Anderson is crazyCeleste POV"I'll release these pictures tonight if you don't go back to Alan."Her words rang in my head like music, I couldn't get it out no matter how I triedIf I don't go back to him, she'll ruin my life. I'll probably lose my job and if I don't? I won't survive the judgement from co-workers. No one will listen to me, I'll be shamed and branded an adulteress and to add to it? I'll be making a scandal with the person who helped me.I felt pathetic, burying my face into my palm as the tears rolled down my cheeks. I finally thought I could handle things on my own, now this comes like a slap in the face.I couldn't concentrate all day, I finally opened Alan's chat and he was apologizing non-stop. He didn't mean any of it, he must've put Stephanie up into blackmailing me, I just couldn't understand why he doesn't want to let me go when he's always thought of me as a burden in his life."Let's talk after work." I texted and he responded almost immedi
Chapter 009 Bad luck Celeste POV Fiancee? Troy had a fiancee? "Vivienne, you're back?" Troy's voice was now calm, he couldn't face me and I was confused. "I asked who the fvck this bvtch is." Her eyes peered into mine and I was getting offended by how she spoke to me. "I'm an employee." I responded sharply and stood up but she noticed the shirt on me and scoffed. "Employee? You mean a cheap whore sleeping with a CEO to get rich." As soon as she said this, everything broke. "Vivienne, that's enough. I will not tolerate this attitude of yours for my guest. Do you think you can just barge into my house without prior notice?" He raised his voice, none of it mattered to me anymore so I slowly stood up. Guest? Of course I'm a guest, I'm the shameless woman who got so comfortable in her boss's home, I must've lost the plot. "Are you defending her? I'm your fiancee Troy, why do I need an invitation to be in my fiancee home? And you're cheating on me with this slut?" "I
Chapter 008 Celeste POV My eyes fluttered open, my eyesight was blurry. The ECG that beeped made me realize I was in the hospital, alive. a hand was resting on mine, I was scared to look at him.I slowly tilted my head to him and he was right there, the man I desperately ran to after rejecting his help.I felt safe but embarrassed, I couldn't even look him in his eyes."Are you awake?" He asked while directly staring at me and i turned my face to the other side to avoid his gaze."I'm sorry." I mumbled softly as the tears rolled down my cheeks, I didn't let him see it, I couldn't look at him for long. I was scared, I was scared of being trapped and I would run to him everytime."Look at me." He held my hand and I slowly looked at his face, he smiled and exhaled loudly."I'll make him pay for everything he has done to you and that..." He paused, holding his breath. The anger was evident in his voice and I laughed, I had never seen someone who was so angry on my behalf."I'll handle t
Troy's POV I wasn't sure what it was that made me stood up, but my emotions betrayed me. It was the same woman I met yesterday but somehow, I could finally see her more. The way the dress clung to her skin, the way it embraced her curves. It made me wonder how anyone could ever convince her that she wasn't enough. Her face, it looked angelic. I had promised myself I just wanted to help, but this was more than what I could handle. I realized I didn't plan to let her go after helping her, I wanted her to myself. It was selfish, she would keep pushing me away but I didn't mind trying. She looked at her feet, I could tell she felt awkward, I couldn't find the right words to say. Out of good morning or how was your night, the only words that came out were... "You are... Gorgeous." I couldn't stop myself, her eyes locked on mine. She bit her lips gently and I couldn't hold myself back, I wanted to hold her hands. I fought back every demons in me to beg for her touch but I rest
Chapter 006The car pulled over at a villa, it was a huge mansion and the cold that crept into my body made me feel I had made a huge mistake.My phone beeped nonstop, the notifications from Alan. I was too scared to take a look since I'd lied to myself that I was finally getting away from him."Celeste..." Troy's voice woke me up from my thoughts, he had opened the car door and extended his hand for mine.I couldn't help but feel my heartbeat race each time I looked at his face, his smile. The way he felt safe but yet very dangerous."Thank you." I held his hand and he helped me out of the car. "Welcome to my home." He smiled but I felt weird, I couldn't smile back since my phone kept bussing. I could only think about my mother and what I had to do to make sure I protect her."Our deal..." I paused, watching his eyes squint a little as two bodyguards approached us."Let's go talk inside." He held my hand and took me into the building.The servants bowed like they weren't alarmed by
