41. Do As Told

CELESTE Caspian patted my back until I emptied my stomach and I couldn't be any more grateful.“You'd literally poison yourself just to prove a point to me?” He shook his head as he grabbed a paper towel to wipe my lips. I rested my back against the wall and closed my eyes. My head was spinning violently and every muscle in my body felt drained of its energy.“I didn't… need your help,” I said stubbornly.“Clearly,” he snorted.Before I could protest, he knelt beside me and pressed a wet paper towel against my forehead. I shivered from the touch when my eyes locked onto his. His green eyes were dark, shimmering with rage he was fighting to control, but his movements were surprisingly gentle.“You've had enough fun for one day.”Before I could process his words, he slid his arms under my knees and my back, lifting me effortlessly as if I didn't weigh a ton and took me into his car.The drive back to the hotel was silent, and I spent half the time clutching my stomach. Caspian came to

42. Get Away

CELESTE Even though I wanted to do the exact opposite of what he asked, I found myself changing into one of those silk dresses Hilary forced me to bring along.I still didn't know why he wanted me to change my clothes when we were only going for an inspection, but I didn't have the strength to argue with him today, not after he had spent the night nursing me.Caspian was already waiting in his car by the time I got out. I slid into the passenger's seat as he started the ignition. I looked for the brown envelope where I had kept it yesterday but it was no longer there. I didn't remember taking it into the restaurant so I couldn't have left it there.“Are you looking for something?” Caspian’s voice snapped me out of my trance. He looked at me for a split second before returning his gaze to the road and I nodded.“I left an envelope here yesterday but I can't find it anymore.”“Oh,” his eyes flickered with something and I wondered if he had opened it already. “I left it in your room la

43. Tension

CELESTE My eyes widened as we got to the yacht's luxurious cabin. The interior was even more stunning than I had expected, but after seeing his cars and his luxurious lifestyle, I wouldn't be surprised if he owned this place too.He took his seat on the sofa and I found myself sitting opposite him. The view of the water was even more appealing from here. For a second, I forgot all about my anger and looked around to appreciate the beauty of nature.A member of the crew came to serve our food and it looked more appetising than anything I've had in a few days. She poured our wine before excusing us once again, leaving me alone with Caspian.He reached for his wine, swirling the cup gently before taking it to his mouth and I couldn't help but watch his every move. The way his muscles flexed beneath his shirt made my mouth drool.I looked away before he'd catch me and just ate quietly. For once, the silence didn't feel uncomfortable. He wasn't teasing or acting like the typical jerk and

44. The Envelope

CELESTE Caspian took the stairs without sparing me another glance. My heart was racing so badly, as if I had just run a marathon, and I couldn't believe what almost happened between us.“Who is calling?” I heard him say to the crew member who came to call him as they walked away. I waited until I could no longer hear the sound of their footsteps before sprinting down the lower deck to get changed.I looked over my shoulder before slamming the door closed, hoping no one had seen what happened out there, and if they did, they wouldn't say a word, right?I leaned against the wood, gasping for air as if I had just escaped drowning. What the hell was I even thinking? My hands were shaking so bad I could barely undo the strap of my bikini.I snapped my eyes closed, forcing myself to breathe but the only image in my head was how close he was. The way he breathed down on my neck, sending emotions I didn't dare to name spiralling down to my bones.What if someone hadn't walked in? Our lips wo

45. The Photograph

CELESTEI didn't sleep a wink all night. I kept my gaze on the ceiling, wondering who could have sent the photograph and what they planned to gain. Caspian had no business meeting up with our board members secretly and even if it was a mere coincidence, the fact that the picture was taken a day before I was reported for the project mismanagement made me even more suspicious.It was the same time he threatened to pull off his strings if I wouldn't keep my side of the deal but if that was true, why would he come here with me?He could have given the project to another company and we'd be the ones to suffer all the loss but he didn't. He even suggested inspecting the site to get everything back on track which leaves me wondering whom to trust here.Caspian was no doubt a powerful man. I didn't think anyone would dare to cross him like that by coming up with false information about him, but that is the thing. He already has everything. What would he gain from sabotaging his own project a

46. Back Home

CELESTE A week had passed since I confronted Caspian concerning the photograph. After slamming the door in my face as he left with it, he hadn't uttered a single word to me since then.At some point, I thought he had moved to a different room because I rarely run into him. One minute I was hearing his voice from the lounge, the next second he was nowhere to be found.I wondered if I made a mistake by showing him the photograph because every time I ran into him, he looked like he was about to murder someone.The weather had returned to normal, and I had instructed Clara to send a driver to me because I didn't think he would be willing to give me a ride home, and even if he planned to, that new attitude wasn't something I wanted to deal with.My bags had already been packed so the second I got a text from the driver, I left the hotel without a word.The ride back home felt awfully draining but the good part was that we were able to resolve the issue concerning the project and everythin

47. Misunderstanding

CELESTE “Good morning, ma'am,” Clara greeted me with a huge smile on her face as soon as I walked in.“Morning Clara,” I stopped briefly to examine her. “Did something happen? Why are you grinning from ear to ear?”She looked over her shoulders to see if anyone was in sight before rushing to my side. “You should have seen the way everyone was praising you,” she giggled. “You're the star of the company today. Our stock has skyrocket because of the successful project and now everyone wants to work with us. Congratulations, ma'am.”A small crept onto my lips from how excited she looked as we stepped into my office. A few days had passed since I came back and even though I hadn't heard a word from Caspian, everyone had been praising for what he did.He did most of the work— gave most of the instructions during the inspection but I was the one getting all the praise.Could Hilary be right? Maybe Caspian wasn't the evil here and I just happened to be reacting to the photograph the way the

48. The New Man

CELESTE Should I reach out to Caspian? If this turned out to be a misunderstanding, I really owed him an apology but then what would I say?“Hey, after speaking to my father and best friend, I realised I was wrong. Sorry”I shook my head at how stupid that sounded. Maybe I should just let this be. I bet he didn't expect much from me anyway, given how we were always at each other's throats, and this is probably for the best too. Now that the project was over, we had no reason to keep running into each other, and it wasn't like we were one hundred per cent sure he wasn't up to any harm, so I'd just leave things as they were.I was on my way back to my office when I bumped into someone.“I'm so sorry—” I trailed off when I saw who it was.Declan.I took a step back as he adjusted his suit and I couldn't help but notice the exhaustion in his eyes. His father passed while I was on the business trip and a part of me wanted to reach out to him after all, his father treated me as a daughter

49. He Helped Me?

CELESTE Work has been awfully draining for the past few days. I shuffle between business meetings and attending to paperwork, and I rarely get enough rest.“Ma'am,” Clara knocked at the door to gain my attention as she stepped into the room and I let out a sigh. “Please tell me I don't have another meeting to attend,” I begged and she gave me an apologetic look.“I'm sorry but one of the companies we are working with reached out to us last night and asked if we could schedule a meeting for this afternoon. Your schedule is tight for the rest of the week so I had no choice but to agree to the meeting today.”“And next week?” “They'll be launching their new products so next week will be a bit tight for them too,” she muttered.I threw my head back as I let out a groan. I thought this was what I wanted but I missed my baby girl era so badly.“You know what? Just send me all the information I'd be needing and the time too,” I said, waving her off to finish what I was doing first when sh

50. Approval

CELESTE Hilary rampaged through my closet to pick a dress for me while I sat on the bed. I didn’t plan on going anywhere tonight but I couldn't bring myself to trust that man so I decided to go with her just to ensure she was okay.Maybe I was overreacting once again but either way, things were going the way Hilary wanted, and she was excited about it.“You know you're just worried for nothing, right?” She said as she threw another dress onto my bed. “Simon is actually a decent man. He's smart too and he's definitely doing fine for himself. I see no reason why you should be suspicious of him.”“The fact that he walked over to our table and you're already speaking so highly of him is enough reason to be suspicious, don't you think? He could be a murderer. Maybe even a rival from another pack. You wouldn't know all of this because you're busy analysing his looks and wit to notice important things.”“Can you at least put up an act when we get there, huh?” She gave me a puppy look and I
