21. He's A Monster

CELESTESeraphina left about an hour ago, and I still couldn't help the storm raging inside me. How dare she? My nails dug into my palms so hard that I winced from the pain.Why wouldn't they allow me to move on? My ex-husband cheated on me and I was the one taking the heat. So much for a woman who spends her entire day preaching ‘girl's girl’ on her timeline.I ran my hands through my hair, feeling every ounce of irritation in my bones when the door creaked open.“Why is no one listening to me today?!” I snapped before I even saw who it was.Clara stepped in carefully, her gaze darting between the files in her hand and my face.“I… I came to drop the materials you requested.”“Oh,” I drawled out a sigh, giving her an apologetic look. “Can you please cancel my plan for the rest of the day? I'm not in the right space for business talks.”“But…”“They can fix any convenient day for the next meeting,” I added. “Thank you.”“Okay, ma'am.”Clara turned on her heels when the door creaked op

22. Never In Control

CELESTE Declan didn't need a reminder before storming out of my office. If looks could kill, I'd be buried six feet under from the murderous look in his eyes when he left.Time was ticking and I still didn't know what response to give Caspian, but one thing was certain. Sitting here wouldn't help me get that answer.First, it was Seraphina; now, it's Declan. If Caspian withdrew his support as he threatened, there was no coming back for me. I have to keep what I have, while I think of other ways to deal with the demon himself.I grabbed my bag and headed out of the office.“Ma'am, are you heading somewhere?” Clara asked from her desk.“I need to attend to something personal.”The drive to Caspian’s office was faster than I had expected. Different thoughts swirled in my mind as I walked into the lobby, but I kept brushing them aside.“How can I help you, ma'am?” The receptionist stopped me before I could take the elevator.“I'm here to see Caspian.”“Alpha is in a meeting,” she said wi

23. Welcome To The Business World.

CELESTE“If I were you, I'd save myself the embarrassment and just stay at home tomorrow.”Caspian’s words rang in my head as I stepped into my office, but I refused to play by his rules. I refused to marry another man for a little gain, only to get a divorce shortly after.He'd move on. They always do, but as for me? The title will stick with me forever. Divorcee.“Good morning, ma'am,” Clara followed behind me as I walked into my office.“Morning, Clara.”I set my bag on my desk, waiting for her to tell me what my schedule looked like for the day, but she stood there nervously, shifting her weight from one leg to another.My eyes met hers, and her gaze dropped to the floor.“What is going on?” My heart skipped a beat as she fiddled with her nails before clearing her throat.“Your father wants to see you in his office.”The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I nodded slowly.Caspian. “Do you know what it's about?” My voice dropped to a whisper as she met my eyes slowly.“I do

24. Testing His Patience

CHAPTER 24CELESTE I didn't know where I was headed, I just knew I couldn't go home. No one saw the way I was struggling, and suddenly, the whole world turned on me for making one decision. One fucking decision!That's not even fair.I stayed in a loveless marriage for one year. Lost my baby, and no one criticised Declan for cheating on me. All I did was fight for my rights. I wanted to make a name for myself and someone was already trying to drag me down.A surge of rage coursed through my veins as I stepped on the gas. My grip tightened against the wheel as the image of my father's face flashed before my eyes and before I could process it, I was already walking into a bar.It wasn't as crowded as usual, and I couldn't be happier. “Welcome ma'am,” the bartender greeted with a warm smile.“Can I have your stronger mix?” I dragged the empty seat in front of him and he chuckled.“Bad day?” He arched his brows as he mixed my drink.“Worst,” I corrected.He passed my drink to me, as I m

25. Paparazzi

CELESTE “Water…” I groaned from my sleep, reaching the nightstand for the bottle of water I'd usually keep there, but nothing.My throat felt dry and I could already feel the ache forming in my head before I opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed was that the ceiling was the wrong colour. Instead of my cream-coloured plaster, I was staring at a room painted in a deep black and dark slate grey.When did I ask for my room to be repainted? Even if I did, why would I choose something so masculine?My head throbbed and a low groan escaped my lungs. I'm never drinking so much again. I sat up, scrutinising my surroundings and I couldn't help but notice the difference in the room I was staying in. It was twice as big as my original room, even the smell was different and…“You're up.”My head snapped in the direction at the same time a scream tore out of my throat. Caspian leaned back on a couch, reading the newspaper in his hands like he didn't just scare the hell out of me.“What the hel

26. The Coup

CELESTE I crashed onto my bed the moment I got into my room feeling every bit of exhaustion washing down on me. It felt like a pop star was practising in my head and I couldn't help but close my eyes, hoping the pain would disappear when the door swung open.I lifted my head to find Hilary standing by the door with a frown on her face. Our last conversation flashed in my memory and even though I knew I shouldn't have taken out my anger on her, I didn't think I was in the mood to argue with her right now.“Where the hell have you been? I have been calling you all day and you wouldn't pick up. You're not ignoring me now, are you?”She slammed the door closed as she stepped inside and a sigh escaped my lungs. I didn't hear my phone ring once since I left Caspian’s mansion and the noise was killing me.I reached for my bag to bring out my phone, when I noticed it was no longer there. Did I leave it at Caspian’s place?Goddammit.“Have you lost your phone now?” She stepped forward until s

27. Shame Is An Understatement

CELESTE Why would Damon or anyone from the Bronte family try to ruin my father? Even if my marriage with Declan had crashed, we go way back. Alpha Bronte and my father were like brothers before his illness drew them apart. Why would he need our downfall to make Declan powerful or even use Damon as a bait?Avery's laughter echoed through the room and I knew I needed to find Declan. If what his bimbo said was true and he had anything to do with the board, I'd skin him alive.I reached for the doorknob when my leg hit the dumpster. I winced slightly at the same time the door swung open and Avery stepped out.A smug smile curved her lips, and for a moment, memories of the night she stepped on my hand while Declan rejected me flashed before my eyes. I had underestimated her for too long, and she'd have to pay for what she did.“Are you eavesdropping now?” She snickered. “Well, what do I expect from a fallen princess?”I straightened, taking a step closer to her but she didn't back away.“W

28. Another Disgrace?

CELESTE His words hit harder than the slap he had never given me. Ever since my mother died, my father had taken it upon himself to give me a good life. Despite his controlling nature from years of running an empire, he never snapped let alone raised his voice at me but tonight, he admitted he was ashamed of me.Words died in my throat and for a moment I forgot the reason I was here tonight. He didn't really mean it, I muttered to myself, shaking my head slightly but the fire burning through his eyes said it all.“Get her out of here,” father turned to face Tristan, avoiding my gaze.Tristan stepped forward, giving me an apologetic look as he held my arm gently, but I shoved him off.“Since you're already ashamed of me,” the words burned my throat as they slipped out. “I might as well finish what I started.”“Celeste…”My teeth clenched together as I walked forward, standing right in front of the board.“Care to explain why I'm hearing you planned on replacing me?” I arched my brows,

29. Stepping In.

CASPIANThe room dropped dead silent at my words. The board members cleared their throat as I rose to my feet. The little argument had dragged for too long and it was about time they wrapped it up.For once, I was proud of the way Celeste handled the situation. It wasn't the best, but the way she stood her ground and talked back to them proved something. She was no longer the timid girl that would be pushed around and I loved it.This was the exact energy that drew me to her. It was such a pity she only let that side out when she was with me but now, they'd learn she wasn't a pushover.“Alpha Caspian,” one of the board members called, barely meeting my eyes. “Do you realize what you are saying? If she signed the deal in her name that means…”“I don't care what it means,” I cut him off. “I entrusted the project to her, not the company,” I finished.Loud gasps echoed through the room and I didn't miss the way Celeste inhaled sharply. She had gone quiet now and even though she was just s

30. Scandal!

CELESTE “You’ve got to be kidding me.”Seraphina’s voice was the first thing I heard before the room went crazy. Suddenly, every phone started buzzing at once like someone had planned it. One person looked down, then another, until family every single head snapped up to look at me.The air grew tight, and I could feel my heart already racing when I had no clue of what was happening. I pulled my phone out, my heart doing olympic sprints against my ribs, I unlocked the screen, and there it was. A picture of me stepping out of Caspian’s penthouse in a hurry. “Care to explain what this is?” Seraphina was in my face before I could even blink. She shoved her phone at me, the screen glowing bright with my face. It was the time I turned back at the sight of the camera flash and that damned reporter posted it too.A lump formed in my throat as I forced myself to swallow hard. What excuse could I possibly have to be stepping out of Caspian’s out that early? My hands curled into a fist beside
