PROBABLY IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT
Celeste knew both happiness and sadness, but she had never lost hope, until the time when she lost her dad and her world came crashing down. What was the point of hoping and wishing, when everything she wished for would slip away right from her hands, like water running down her fingers?
Pain and depression in itself are unbearable, but what would happen to a person if they have to deal with financial stress too? Celeste had to juggle not only schoolwork but also juggle three different jobs. With great difficulty, she was able to finish her bachelor's, and now she was finally able to get into her dream university for her master's.
All this while she thought being far away from home would somehow take her troubles away too, but that wasn't the case. She had a looming 1-year student loan and was barely getting by with a full-time degree.
And that's when she was forced to do something that she didn't really think she would have to do. She found herself browsing through what it would take to be a sugar baby and was mortified that it required the sugar baby to have consensual sex and her graysexual ass could never.
She was saved from the nightmare when she met a mysterious rich boy/man who was willing to act as her sugar daddy, well not really.
Gabrielle a boy of just 23, and an owner of a multi-millionaire company. He had money and everything nice right at his feet. But just like Celeste, he was a broken boy too, craving for a family that was already 6 feet under the ground. And who knew that both of them would find each other and maybe just maybe they would find what they lost all hope for.

Chapter: Chapter 46“I am sorry. I am late.” I apologise to the teacher before entering the class. She doesn’t pay any attention to me and continues with her class. I take the first empty seat that I find. I pant in my seat, the exertion from running and climbing the stairs finally catching up to me. My chest hurt with every deep breath that I took. My calves were on fire, and my side felt like it had a million needles stabbing it. I was sweating, my body trying to get back to its normal condition.“Excuse me.” I hear another voice say. I look up to see that it was Luke who entered. Looks like I wasn’t the only one who was running late.He walks in my general direction, and for a second I think he is going to take a seat beside me. I give him a smile as a greeting. He glares at me and completely ignores the empty seat beside me. A frown graces my face. I look behind me to see where he was seated, and I notice that he was sitting with C

Chapter: Chapter 45“Trust me I wasn’t trying to seduce you,” I reply, fighting off the heat and getting my composure back. He lifts one eyebrow up as though he couldn’t believe it.“Felt like it, though.” He says. I look him straight in the eye, and he sits up straight, feeling the change in my demeanour.I lean forward, suddenly feeling powerful.“That was anything but seducing. If I was to seduce, you wouldn’t have been able to hold up your composure or stand straight for that matter.” I whisper. His eyes widen, and he suddenly looks out of breath. I sit back, a smirk playing on my lips. I loved how powerful this made me feel. I hadn’t done this before, and somehow Gabrielle was arousing a side of me that I didn’t know existed.The limo comes to a stop, and I scoot towards the door, getting ready to get out of the limo. Before I close the door behind me, I pop my head back in the lim

Chapter: Chapter 44Honestly, I would willingly do something stupid just to piss off the people around me and not get called to these things. Well, I guess I had to bear with these things if I wanted to be paid then yes.I hide my phone on my lap, and I browse through Instagram. I don’t think it’s proper etiquette to be on your phone while you are eating in a social setting. But in my defence, I was alone, and I didn’t want to stare at people while I shoved food in my mouth.“Boo!” I hear a whisper in my ears, and I nearly drop my phone and my fork. I look up to see that it was Harold who did that.“Jesus, you almost gave me a heart attack,” I exclaim, holding a hand to my chest.He takes a seat opposite me and dives into his plate of food.“tch, tch. It’s so rude to be on your phone when there are people around you.” He says, shaking his head.“I was bored,” I

Chapter: Chapter 43Gabrielle has been talking to this group of people for so long now. Not even ten minutes into the conversation, and I found myself zoning out. There was a lot of talk about money, deals and statistics. Yes, I could understand some of it; I had done a short online course on accounts a year back. It was a necessity, as my father was no longer there to help with the accounts stuff, a subject he was so good at, and I took it as my mission to learn a few basics and take his place. But all of this was just a little too much, and it was quite boring.I wanted to leave; I kept sneaking glances at the people around us. I was hungry, and I could feel my stomach grumbling. It was around eight now, and yet very few of them had bothered enough to have dinner; the rest of them seemed too caught up with their conversations.I glanced at the food table and felt my stomach grumble once again. Would it be rude if I excused myself and helped myself with some food? Ugh, this s

Chapter: Chapter 42I politely smile at the people while Gabrielle leads me further into the hall. The hall was so huge that it made even a crowd like this look small. I wanted to duck my head, but wherever we went, I could feel the stares in my back.The stares weren’t much directed at me but at Gabrielle. People looked at him as though he was the king of a large country. I guess he kind of was in a way in the world of business. This made me wonder, what a twisted fate it was for me to come across a man so powerful, forget about having him as my sugar daddy. It all felt like a dream to me.The smile soon slips from my face, and I find myself looking at my surrounding me with awe. Huge chandeliers hung from the ceiling, glittering like diamonds under the warm lighting. Rich curtains draped around the place, and a huge table was set aside, displaying various kind of food items. The centre was empty, soft music playing the background so that people could dance yet nobody m

Chapter: Chapter 41I wait for a minute or two for someone to open the door. Usually, I would have done it, but I didn’t really know where to go, and a part of me was scared of what was out there.I move towards the door and grab the handle. Just as I was about to open the door, it swings open from the outside.I peek outside to see that it was Gabrielle who opened the door. I take his hand that he offered and climb out of the car. Getting out of the car with heels on was really a pain. I let go of his hand as soon as I am standing.“Thank you,” I reply, giving him a smile. He checks me out openly, not even trying to look subtle in any way. I pretend that I don’t notice it. I give him a once over, sneakily from the corner of my eye.To say that he was looking handsome would be an understatement, he looked ethereal. He had a midnight blue suit on, which complemented my dress pretty well. He had a black-tie on, and a glittering e

Enemies become friends, while the ones she trusted the most stab her in the back, literally. Fayth finds herself turning into someone that she isn’t sure whether she loves or hates. Everywhere she turns she finds herself losing the people she loves. Everything seems to be drawing out her energy leaving behind an empty shell made up of only pain and sorrow.

Chapter: EpilogueI woke up to bright sunlight shining on my face. I groaned and tried shifting to find a much more suitable position, but the cold hard floor wasn't comfortable in the very least.I slowly sat up, my back and my muscles aching more than ever. I rubbed my eyes and my face, only to immediately wince when my frozen fingertips touched my face. My fingers had turned slightly blue due to the cold, but luckily they hadn't turned numb.I looked beside me to see that my sister and my mum were still sleeping. My tossing and turning had made me move away from them by a few meters. I slowly hauled myself up from the floor. The cave was fully visible now that the sunlight was filtering into the cave. I had to say it was, even more, prettier in the daylight. The whole cave was black in colour with blues in it. It looked untouched and spotless apart from our belongings that were sprawled on the floor. I made a mental note to clean it up later. I decided to check the outsid

Chapter: Chapter 54Fayth's POV:The car was slowly coming to a halt, and the air was thick with smoke. I jolted awake, confused by the sudden change in the atmosphere. I looked sideways at my mum, in the hopes of getting some clarification."Why did you stop, mum?" I asked her."There is a huge line of cars stuck right ahead. I don't know why there is traffic here. We haven't even entered the city yet." She looked confused. I looked ahead, to see so many vehicles lined up ahead.We waited for a while, yet the vehicles didn't seem to move ahead. The people seemed to be getting angry, and I saw many people get out of the car in order to inspect why there was a block."What is happening?" My sister moved towards the front seat and asked. She seemed to have woken up from her slumber, still rubbing her eyes."There is a block ahead," I replied."Why?" She questioned."Like the hell, I know!

Chapter: Chapter 53I hoisted into the car, the little of what was left, of our belongings. My mother stood on the sideways, her eyes glued to the debris which we once called home. I didn't know what to say to her or how to comfort her."I could have done it," Rafael told me, pointing towards the bag that I had just placed in the car."I am not weak, you know," I replied. He was already helping me do other things, and I wasn't going to stand on the sidelines and watch him work.Adrien slammed the boot shut. I turned towards them; not knowing how to say goodbye.I stepped back and let mum do the farewells first. She hugged both the boys and said something to them, that I couldn't catch. Surprisingly she didn't cry."Fayth!" I heard someone scream my name, and I turned around to see who it was.Scarlet was running towards us, her brother and her family walking behind her. The site was pretty funny, but her eyes glistening with
