Celeste

I was trying to focus on the employee handbook memorizing the list of people who had direct access to Jared’s line and my today schedule with Jared, the words were blurring together at some point my mind was everywhere but there.

It’s like I could feel Jared close even when he isn’t.

My thoughts come to a halt as a shadow fall across my desk.

I looked up.

My heart gave a sickening lurch.

Ethan stood there with his arms crossed his expression mixed with irritation and disgust

    Celeste’s POV I woke up to loud knocking on my bedroom door.“Miss Flynn!”Knock. Knock.“Miss Flynn are you awake?”I groaned and buried my face deeper into the pillow. My body felt heavy, warm, and far too comfortable under the expensive silk sheets and for one peaceful second I forgot where I was.Then everything came rushing back.New York.Penthouse.First day.Board meeting.My eyes flew open as I grabbed the clock beside the bed.9:17 AM.My heart stopped.“No—”I shot upright so fast pain shot through my neck and shoulders.“Shit!”Another knock came.“Miss Flynn the board meeting starts in thirteen minutes!”Thirteen minutes?THIRTEEN?“Oh my God!”I jumped out of bed nearly tripping over the rug as I rushed toward the bathroom.“I’m awake!” I yelled.My assistant’s calm voice came through the door.“With respect ma’am you should have been awake an hour ago.”“I know!”I stared at myself in the mirror and almost screamed my hair was a complete mess and I looked exhausted, J

    CelesteThree years.It had been three years since the accident, since I almost died, since I woke up in that hospital bed and found out my life wasn’t what I thought it was and since Dominic Ross walked into my life and changed everything.Funny how life worked.One moment I was a broke girl working herself to death just to survive the next, I was living in California, learning how to run one of the biggest business empires in the country.If someone had told me that before the accident I would have laughed in their face.“Still thinking too much?”Dominic’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.I looked up and found him standing near the seat across from me inside the private jet, coffee in hand.I sighed. “You always know when I’m overthinking.”He smirked and sat down.“That’s because you make that face.”“What face?”He narrowed his eyes dramatically. “The face that says, ‘I am about to stress myself into an early grave.’”I rolled my eyes.“I do not make that face.”“You do.”“I

    Celeste POVThe first thing I heard was the beeping It was a sound I recognized from movies and from the hospital when my father died a well as my mother. Steady, rhythmic, annoying beeping that seemed to drill right into my brain. Beep. Beep. Beep. It matched the pounding in my head which felt like someone was using my skull as a drum.I tried to open my eyes but it only made the pain worst.. my eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds each as though someone had put little weights on them while I was asleep. When I finally got them open everything was blurry with white ceiling and lights that hurt to look at… the smell of antiseptic and cleaning products and something else, something medical and cold.Hospital of course I was in a hospital but why?The memories came rushing like a wave of nostalgia not in order, just flashes.. the accident.I tried to move and pain shot through my whole body… It wasn't just one pain. It was a thousand different pains all at once. My h

    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.

    Celeste I ran after her the sand was soft and made my feet sink It was hard to move fast. Lisa was ahead of me, her figure getting smaller.She was heading toward the back of the beach house where there were less people."Lisa Please!" I screamed again my voice was raw.She didn't stop but she didn't run toward the water instead she veered left toward the rocky area behind the house. I followed my lungs were burning and my heart was breaking into a million pieces with every step.When I got there behind the big rocks, hidden from the beach lisa had stopped. She was standing with her back to me her shoulders shaking. "Lisa," I said my voice breathless and broken. I stopped a few feet away from her. I didn't dare get closer I know I’ve lost that right. "Please Lis, let me explain."She spun around her face was red and wet with tears."Explain?" she screamed the word echoed off the rocks. "Explain what Celeste? Explain how you've been sneaking around behind my back with my father? Ex

    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
