Celeste My phone buzzed on my desk, the minute I picked his hard voice beat my ear.“My office… Now!” And the line went dead.Two words. I knew of course I knew he had found out. Why else would he call me back in right after he left my office. He’d had time to hear the gossip to get a report. My blood felt like ice in my veins.I got up from my desk my legs were weak as I walked and Margaret didn’t look at me this time. She just kept typing but I felt her awareness like a physical thing. She knew trouble was coming.I walked to his office door I didn’t knock. I just turned the handle and pushed it open.He wasn’t at his desk. He was standing by the window his back to me completely still. “Close the door,” he ordered his voice was low and quiet. It made every hair on my arms stand up.I closed the door the soft click sounded like a gun being cocked.He turned around slowly his face was like a stone while his eyes were burning with fury. “What,” he said, the word a sharp crac

Celeste The wedding preparations had officially started. IGenevieve was everywhere since she returned from her trip, she’s been running the whole place with her voice light and planning.In two weeks Jared would marry her.And my heart was breaking a little more every day and I hated myself for that.my relationship with Jared had changed It was closer so much closer since Genevieve left for her trip and we spend the night in his room, lunch together in his office.here were quiet moments in his office after work, where he’d ask about my day, his voice soft. There were looks across the dinner table that held a secret heat. But underneath it is nothing but lust and I know it yet I was falling in love with him. I knew it was stupid. I knew it was a disaster. He was getting married.He would only ever see me as his plaything, his late best friend’s daughter, a secret he kept in but I couldn’t stop the feeling. It was there, heavy and real in my chest.Now we were all at the private air

Celeste I stired up from sleep, I was still tired from the flight yesterday, from the tension on the jet, from everything. I just wanted to stay in my hotel room if possible throughout the wedding but my eyes move to Lisa that was standing at the foot of my bed already dressed her hands on her hips."Get up, sleepyhead. We have dress fittings in an hour."I groaned pulling the blanket over my head. "Lisa please I don't need to be there. It's your stepmom's dress fitting, not mine. I'll just be in the way, I don’t want that, I’ll just stay at home instead”"But we need to pick out dresses we’ll put too," Lisa said yanking the blanket down. "So you need to be fitted too. Plus Genevieve would need moral support. You think I can handle a day of dress shopping with alone? I'll lose my mind."She made a good point. Facing Genevieve alone was a nightmare and facing her with Lisa was slightly less terrible."Fine," I sighed dragging myself out of bed. "But I'm not wearing anything pink."

CelesteThe last week had been the longest of my life. Seven days of avoiding Jared, of keeping my head down my eyes away from his and keeping my distance.Thanks to Genevieve it had been easier than it should have been, she never left his side not for a second. She was always there, clinging to his arm, touching his chest, whispering in his ear. It was like she knew. Like she could smell my fear and my want and she was determined to stamp it out by keeping him locked away from me.And it worked. I barely saw him and when I did, he was surrounded by her… by wedding planners and by people who belonged in his world. I was just a ghost floating through the edges.I missed him. God I missed him so much it hurt. The way he looked at me, how his voice dropped when he talked to me alone. The way his hand felt on my skin It was all I thought about even though I knew it was bad. Even though I knew it was wrong.It was three days until the wedding… three fucking days until he said vows

Celeste I don't remember walking back to the hotel or packing my bag. I don't even remember calling the Uber it was like my body was just moving, but my mind was somewhere else. One part of me was screaming and run back to Jared to tell him I didn't want to love him. That I had tried so hard not to. That loving him was destroying me. That I wished I could cut it out of my chest like a tumor.Another part of me was whispering to to find Lisa and fall at her feet and make her understand. To tell her I never wanted his money, I never wanted his name or his status or his world. I wanted him. Just him. The man who looked at me like I was the only woman in the world, the man who held me like I was something precious. The man who made me feel like I wasn't alone.But I couldn't do either I couldn't face Jared. What would I even say? I love you but you're marrying someone else in three days so goodbye? That was pathetic.That was begging. I had some pride left not much, but some.
