Jace“Sir,” Mina called, trying to get my attention.But I couldn’t stop staring at Celeste. She was sitting at the desk outside my office, working on something on her laptop. How could I get rid of her? How could I make her leave?“Sir,” Mina called again.“Yes,” I finally replied, tearing my eyes away to look at her. “What is it?”“Sir, about the new girl...” Mina paused, glancing at Celeste through the glass. “What exactly is her position?”“She’s nobody,” I said coldly. “Just treat her like she doesn’t exist.”“But you said she’s your personal assistant,” Mina said carefully.“Did I formally introduce her as one to you?” I snapped. “Do your work, Mina, and stop questioning me.”“Sir, I just thought—”“Shut up.” I slammed my fist on the desk. “Enough.”“Okay, sir.” She looked startled but nodded quickly. She was about to leave when I called her back.“Since she’s taken your desk, get another one for yourself,” I muttered. “And she’s in charge of all your duties until she leaves.”“

JaceI couldn’t sleep, no matter how hard I tried. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw them - Aria and Damon - together, kissing.I kept scrolling through our photos on my phone. Pictures of Aria smiling at me. Pictures of us being happy. All lies.How could she do this to me? Why? What did I do wrong that made her betray me with my best friend?This betrayal felt like a knife twisting in my chest. First my father. Now her.I stared at my phone screen, my jaw clenched. Everyone who betrayed me would be punished. I’d start with my father. Then her.I got out of bed, stripped off my clothes, and headed to the bathroom. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I barely recognized the man staring back.Dark circles under my eyes. Dull skin. I looked exhausted and broken.I turned on the shower and let the hot water run over me, but it didn’t wash away the pain.After bathing, I dried myself, applied some cream, and put on a dark suit. I needed to look strong even if I felt hollow inside.I w

Jace“I’m fine,” I buzzed, my voice rough from crying. “Go do what you came here to do.”“You don’t look fine, brother,” she said softly, taking another step closer. “You were crying. What happened?”“Stop calling me that,” I snapped. “I hate it when you call me brother.”“Jace,” she tried again. “Please tell me what happened.”“It’s none of your business.”“Maybe not,” she admitted quietly. “But I still care about you.”What could I do with this stubborn girl? “I’m fine. You can leave now.”But she just stood there, watching me like she could read my thoughts, until Mina walked back in.“What are you doing just standing there?” Mina yelled at her suddenly. Why was she screaming at C

Jace“So, brother,” Celeste asked as soon as we got in the car. “Can you tell me what was wrong earlier?” I ignored her and started driving.“Brother,” she called again, but I kept my eyes on the road.“Jace.”“What?” I finally snapped.“I’m only worried about you,” she spoke softly. “Can you tell me what happened?”“It’s nothing,” I replied. “You don’t need to worry.”Silence filled the car after that. I should have enjoyed the peace, but I couldn’t. My mind kept replaying what I’d seen. Aria and Damon kissing. Their hands intertwined. The lies they’d told me.I started humming under my breath, trying to push the images away. But they wouldn’t leave.“Are you sure you are okay, Jace?”I slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road. I turned to face her.“You have a problem, Celeste,” I said, my voice rising. “What is your problem?”“I’m only worried—”“Why are you so worried about me?” I shot back at her. “You… everyone, I hate all of you.”“You hate me?” she gasped,

Jace“Welcome home, son,” my father greeted, and I nodded.The maids served dinner. I went upstairs to change clothes, then came back down to eat. I was starving.I was halfway through my meal when Celeste’s mother approached her.“I need to see you after dinner,” she said.“Okay, Mother,” Celeste replied quietly.“She’ll be coming with me,” I murmured, standing up. “As my personal assistant, there are files she needs to handle.”“Why?” Father asked. “Can’t those files wait until tomorrow?”“No, Father,” I responded. “I have an early meeting tomorrow. The files need to be organized tonight.”“Son—”“Are you not the one who asked me to teach her how things work in the company?”“You’re right,” her mother interrupted, smiling widely. “Celeste has so much to learn.”I didn’t need anyone to tell me what she was thinking. She probably believed Celeste would have access to my laptop and could steal whatever she wanted.“Let them work, Richard,” she added. “I’ll talk to Celeste tomorrow. Let
