CelesteI barely had time to let my words sink in before Adrian’s face contorted in fury. His eyes darkened with a dangerous storm, and suddenly, he lunged forward, grabbing my arm with a harshness that made a sharp, burning sting race through my side.“Enough!” I gasped, instinctively trying to wrench myself free, but his grip tightened like iron, pulling me closer. Panic flared hot and fast in my chest.Before I could fully react, a heavy hand crashed into Adrian’s back, sending him stumbling forward, off balance.“Let her go, asshole.”The voice was low, raw with anger and authority. I turned just in time to see Nicolas step between us, his eyes dark and fierce, jaw clenched tight like a steel trap. His presence was like a shield—a promise I wasn’t alone.Tristan followed right behind, tall and imposing, his calm a stark contrast to the tension thickening the air.Adrian snarled, spinning around to face Nicolas with a venomous glare. “This is none of your business.”“It is now,” Ni

Chapter Thirty-One

CelesteSebastian’s hand clamped firmly around my wrist, his grip not painful but impossible to break. The cafeteria’s murmur dimmed behind us, replaced by the sharp click of his polished shoes against the marble floor. He didn’t say a word—just moved with that determined, unrelenting stride—until the glass doors of his office shut behind us with a decisive thud.“Sit,” he said, voice low, almost vibrating with restraint.I didn’t. “Sebastian—”“Celeste.” My name was sharper this time. His eyes locked on mine, dark and seething, but beneath that fire was something else—something that made my chest tighten. “Did he touch you?”The air seemed to shrink around us.“No.”“Don’t lie to me.” He took a step forward, his towering presence closing the space between us until my back nearly brushed the desk. “You think I didn’t see the way you trembled watching the commotion earlier, like every sound was a gun to your head. The way his eyes lingered on you like—” He cut himself off, jaw clenchin

Chapter Thirty-Two

CelesteMy chest felt tight, like the air between us had turned heavier, thicker—each breath dragged through me as though I was trying to inhale through water. Every inhale carried the faint scent of his cologne—warm spice and something darker, more dangerous—and it pulled me right back to places I’d promised myself I would never revisit.“Move,” I said, though the command in my mind came out barely above a whisper. Too soft. Too fragile.He didn’t move. He stayed where he was, watching me with that quiet, unflinching intensity that made it impossible to hide. His arm was still braced against the doorframe, his body angled just enough to block my escape. He wasn’t touching me, yet my skin tingled as if he had—like every inch of me was tuned to his presence, my nerves recognizing him before my mind could.The worst part wasn’t the closeness. It was the awareness. The prickling heat creeping up my neck. The way my pulse stuttered when his eyes swept over my face, lingering, seeing too m

Chapter Thirty-Three

CelesteI didn’t slow down until I turned the corner, the echo of Violet’s voice still scraping against my nerves. Her smirk, her deliberate choice of words—it was like she knew exactly where to press until the cracks in my armor threatened to show.I ducked into the restroom, gripping the porcelain sink until my knuckles turned white. My reflection stared back at me, pale and unsettled, lips pressed tight. My pulse hadn’t settled since Sebastian’s office, and Violet’s ambush only twisted it tighter.“Get it together,” I whispered, splashing cold water onto my face.By the time I returned to my desk, I had pulled the mask back on. The pile of files waiting for me was almost comforting—something solid, something that didn’t breathe fire and shadows. I reached for the top folder, forcing my thoughts to focus on numbers, signatures, and schedules.But focus was a fragile thing.Every time I blinked, I felt Sebastian’s voice threading through me again—Draw all the lines you want… I’ll kee

Chapter Thirty-Four

CelesteThe hours blurred into each other, swallowed whole by the endless stream of tasks piling on my desk. Spreadsheets, reports, cross-checking schedules—every time I thought I’d cleared one set of files, another landed in my inbox with an urgent tag. My fingers ached from typing, my eyes stung from staring too long at the screen, but I pushed on.Somewhere between double-checking an expense report and organizing tomorrow’s meeting briefs, I glanced at the clock. 8:17 p.m. I blinked. Had it really gotten this late?The soft rustle of coats and bags being lifted around me pulled my attention. Ava appeared by my desk, her bag slung over her shoulder.“Celeste,” Ava said gently, her eyes soft with a mix of admiration and worry. “Working overtime? You’ve been at it since morning.”I gave her a small smile, trying to shake off the fatigue weighing me down. “I just need to finish these reports. It’ll be easier for tomorrow if I get them out of the way tonight.”She sighed, clearly unconvi

Chapter Thirty-Five

CelesteThe office was too quiet at night.It wasn’t the busy, buzzing place it was during the day. All the voices, ringing phones, and hurried footsteps were gone. What was left behind was silence, heavy and thick, broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioning and the soft clacking of my own keyboard.I leaned back in my chair, stretching my sore shoulders. My eyes stung from staring at the screen for hours, and the numbers on the spreadsheet no longer made sense. I blinked a few times, rubbed at my temples, and sighed.I couldn’t keep pushing without a break.Reluctantly, I stood and left my desk, slipping out into the hallway. My heels clicked softly against the tiles as I made my way toward the pantry. At this time of night, the entire floor felt empty, almost lonely.When I stepped inside the pantry, I flicked on the light and was greeted with the faint smell of sugar, coffee grounds, and cleaning spray. It wasn’t much, but the small, simple space felt like a little escape

Chapter Thirty-Six

CelesteThe office was completely silent by the time I shut down my computer. The glowing numbers on the corner of the screen mocked me—past ten already. My body screamed for rest, but the thought of heading home to Amara’s small arms waiting for me gave me just enough strength to pack my things.I slipped my bag over my shoulder and walked down the hallway, heels clicking against the polished floor. As I passed by Mr. Williams’s office, something made me slow down.The door was slightly ajar.That alone was unusual—Sebastian was meticulous, always closing it behind him, whether he was stepping out for a meeting or calling it a night. Curiosity tugged at me before reason could stop me.I hesitated, then pushed the door open.The sight that greeted me stole the air from my lungs.Sebastian Williams, the man who ruled this entire company with his cold gaze and intimidating presence, was lying on the leather couch by the window. His suit jacket and tie were discarded carelessly over the

Chapter Thirty-Seven

CelesteThe darkness was suffocating. I could barely see, but I could feel—too much.Sebastian’s hand shot out in the shadows, his fingers wrapping firmly around my wrist. Not harsh, but unyielding, pulling me back before I could stumble further away. His touch was fire, steadying me and burning me all at once.“Don’t move,” he murmured, his voice low and husky, vibrating through the silence.My breath caught. The sound of him in the dark, that commanding tone, sank straight into me.“I—I need to leave,” I whispered, though even I didn’t believe my own words. The heat crawling up my skin betrayed me, the way my heart hammered wildly in my chest betraying me.He didn’t let go. Instead, his hand slid slowly down my arm, brushing against my skin until it steadied at my elbow. My whole body tensed, every nerve alert to his nearness.Outside the wide office windows, the moonlight filtered in faintly through the blinds, casting pale streaks of silver across the room. It wasn’t much, but it

Chapter Thirty-Eight

CelesteFor a long, unbearable heartbeat, neither of us moved. His body caged me in, his hand braced on the couch beside my head, his breath spilling warm against my cheek. The world outside didn’t exist—just the darkness, the sharp hammer of my heart, and Sebastian’s weight above me.Every nerve in my body screamed at me to push him away. To break free before this spiraled into something I couldn’t take back. But my hands betrayed me—frozen against the hard planes of his chest, feeling the steady thrum of his heart beneath my trembling fingers.“Sebastian…” My voice cracked on his name, softer than a whisper, as if saying it out loud might shatter whatever fragile control I had left.His jaw tightened. Even in the darkness, I could see the conflict written in the harsh lines of his face. His eyes burned down at me—hungry, restrained, pained.“You’re driving me insane, Celeste,” he said hoarsely, the words scraping raw from his throat. “Every time you look at me… every time you try to

Chapter Thirty-Nine

CelesteI didn’t sleep that night.No matter how many times I rolled over, punched my pillow, or closed my eyes, the same images replayed in my head again and again. Sebastian’s eyes, dark and burning, staring down at me like I was the only thing in his world. The heat of his chest beneath my palms, the sharp hammer of his heartbeat against my fingertips. The weight of his body above mine, close enough that one wrong move could have changed everything.And worse—my mind betrayed me with thoughts I had no business entertaining. His lips. The shape of them. The way they hovered, a breath away from mine. The faint shadow along his jawline, the strong slope leading down to—I shot upright in bed, burying my burning face in my hands. “No. No, no, no. What the hell am I thinking?”Heat flushed through me, mortifying and unstoppable. I didn’t want to imagine Sebastian Williams that way. I couldn’t. He was my boss. My cold, impossible, untouchable boss.But the more I told myself it was wron
