Chapter 1

Celeste's POV“I'll definitely take care of it all. Just focus on finding the money we need.” Yuna assured me. I sniffed, cleaning the tears that fell from my eyes. “Okay,” I replied, cutting the call.My hand fell, and I held on tighter to the railings, letting the tears fall. I had never thought it would end up like this. I had taken over my company with full hopes of reviving it, who knew I would be the one to destroy it?But even so, I still wanted to believe that I wasn't wrong about her. Willow didn't do all these intentionally, there must be something wrong somewhere. Maybe she was even kidnapped. But I was drowning. The lawsuit is less than two days away, and she's still yet to show up. I had thought I would be able to manage it. It was two weeks since the incident happened but the memory still played in my head like it was yesterday."Miss. Celeste” the employees greeted me as soon as I walked in.I thought it would have been like any normal day. But I was wrong. I shou

Chapter 2

Celeste's POVThe parents looked solemn, but they didn't demand that I pay for their child's life. The child's mother mentioned that he had always been ill and the death wasn't tied to the accident.I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly giving them a little compensation for their fault but I still don't know who the culprit was. I thought that was the peak of it. With no charge like manslaughter on the company's name, at least I would still be able to manoeuvre the others. But, I wasn't prepared for the hidden clause. The Horton family I had just signed with, the one deal that would have made the company one of the best, it was a trap.They demanded forty million dollars in compensation if any issues came up with their project. Far more than the total project itself. Two weeks later, and I am still yet to figure anything out. Millie is nowhere to be found and I only have two days left. I ran my hand through my hair. Sniffing heavily, as I stared at the flowing river below. A th

Chapter 3

Celeste's POVI fell backwards, his words hitting me like a wave of shock. "What?"He repeated his words, slowly this time like he was afraid I would ask for it again. I raised a brow at him.I barely knew this man. No, I didn't even know him at all, and he dared propose marriage to me. In such an absurd way too. I took a further step back and he smiled. "Is it really so surprising?" He asked, moving closer. "A contract marriage. I would not only save your company but also your reputation. Those lawsuits..." He paused, locking eyes with me."Just forget about it." He said, and I bit my lip harder. I hated the fact that he was right, he really could be the one who would help me out of this misery and keep me away from it for a few more years but I wouldn't get married to a stranger. My face hardened. "I don't agree with your terms," I said, turning to walk out but he stopped me."I know you won't. This is your first time seeing me after all." He said, taking steady steps forward a

Chapter 4

Celeste's POV "You're done talking. Now it's my turn. Since you've admitted to it, then come with me to court today. It's about time the misunderstanding was settled." I grabbed her right on her hand, she struggled to get free while I dragged her out. "Taking me there will only make your sentence quicker." She said and I paused my tracks. "Judging from your reaction, I don't think you know it yet," Millie said, a smug look on her face. "I'm getting married to the heir of the Evercrest family. Do you still think anyone in this entire town would dare do anything to me?" She asked. Although I didn't want to believe it, I knew there was some truth to her words. It had been quite a few days since I had been searching for her whereabouts. Only a powerful family could have her hidden for so long. "I'll advise you to let me go now and try to find your way around the mess." She said, pointing at the approaching figure. "The moment he sees me with you, then you are truly doomed. One w

Chapter 5

Celeste's POVMy hands began to shake as I stared at his hardened face. Had he already seen through my act? I took in a shaky breath."Act?" I asked, about to crack a smile when he spoke again. "The exclusive guests don't use this entrance. Your act can't trick me." He said, signalling to his colleague at the corner. My eyes widened. I couldn't get thrown out like this, I hadn't talked to Heather yet. I put on a strict face and spoke. "I just want to take this path. What can you do to me?"My voice remained stern and I stared at him with a degrading look but he didn't even shake. "I've seen a lot of your type but you are the strongest so far." He said, and at the end of his words, I felt a cold grip on my shoulder. The hairs on my skin rose immediately.I tried to speak but before I could, someone spoke behind me. "Let her in. She's with me." He said, I recognized that voice. It was the man from the company. The guard's face changed as soon as he saw him standing but he still tri
