Chapter: Chapter Eight: The Flashback Eleven years ago. Celeste's Pov The hallway was just like any other high school hallway—bright lights, lockers lining the walls, and the dull murmur of students exchanging whispered gossip, like secrets were just another currency. But there was something about St. Augustine Prep that made everything feel a bit more polished, a bit more important. The students here weren’t just students—they were the heirs to future empires, the ones who would shape the world. I walked through it like I owned every inch. My blazer was sharp, the skirt hitting just above my knee in the perfect mix of edgy and polished. My heels clicked against the floor, too confident and too loud to be ignored. Olivia, Sienna, and Vanessa were trailing behind me, all of them in perfect sync, just like always. But I was the one they followed. “There he is,” Olivia whispered, a slight nudge to my elbow. I didn’t need her to point. I’d already seen him. Leo Kingsley. The scholarship kid. Quiet, brooding, and e

Chapter: Chapter Seven: Moving In Celeste's Pov I stood outside the kind of building that made you feel poor just by looking at it, the suitcase handle biting into my palm, as I blinked up at the uniformed doorman who was giving me the kind of look reserved for street performers who'd wandered into the wrong neighborhood. “I’m here to move in,” I said, trying to keep the edge out of my voice. “With Leo.” His eyebrow lifted like it had been trained to do so. “Mr. Kingsley?” “No, the other Leo who owns the penthouse on the top floor,” I snapped, then forced a tight smile. “Yes. That Leo.” He gave me a slow once-over. Not the good kind. The kind that said you’ve got to be kidding me. “I wasn’t told to expect anyone today,” he said flatly. “Especially not a... guest.” Of course he didn’t tell them I was coming. That would’ve required basic human decency—something Leo Kingsley had clearly evolved past I clenched my jaw. “I’m not a guest. I’m his girlfriend.” That did it. The second doorman—leaner, younger, clear

Chapter: Chapter Six: The suggestion Celeste’s POV I waited on the steps in front of my apartment building, arms crossed against the morning chill, staring down the cracked sidewalk like it owed me something. The sky was still a dull grey, the kind that made everything feel heavier. The low purr of an engine cut through the quiet, too smooth, too polished—like it thought it was too good for the cracked pavement it rolled over. A sleek, black car pulled up and stopped right in front of me. It idled there, windows tinted too dark to see in—but I didn’t need to. I already knew who it was. Still, he made no move to step out. Not even a quick honk. A few seconds later, the driver’s side window rolled down halfway, revealing the sharp jawline and colder eyes of Leo Kingsley. His voice, rich with sarcasm, cut through the silence. “Did you actually think I’d get out and open the door for you?” I raised an eyebrow. “I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.” His smirk barely touched his lips. “Keep dreaming.” I wa

Chapter: Chapter Five : The DealCeleste’s POV The moment I stepped into Kingsley Tower, the air shifted. It wasn’t cold, but a chill ran through me anyway. Maybe it was the glass walls, the polished marble floors, or the way people in tailored suits moved with quiet efficiency—like they belonged here and knew it. I, on the other hand, was wrapped in my old hoodie, head down, already regretting this. Yet as I made my way toward the reception desk, I noticed something strange. People were looking at me. Not in the usual way, not like they were judging my outfit or wondering what a girl like me was doing in a place like this. No, it was different. They nodded. Smiled. One even offered a slight bow, and I blinked in confusion. Why were they being… respectful? “Miss Celeste?” the woman at the front desk asked, her tone smooth and welcoming. My eyes widened at the sound of my name. “Uh… yeah. That’s me.” “You’re expected. Mr. Kingsley is currently in a meeting, but you may wait on his floor. You’ll

Chapter: Chapter Four: The Firing Celeste’s POV I barely slept. Not because I didn’t want to—but because my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. All night long. One notification after another lit up the darkness. Eventually, I flipped it face-down and shoved it under my pillow, hoping that would mute the madness. It didn’t. Because the noise wasn’t just in the phone anymore—it was in me. Buzzing under my skin, thrumming in my chest. By morning, I wasn’t tired—I was wired. My body ached with tension. My chest felt like something heavy had been sitting on it all night. Still, I reached for the phone, half-hoping the world had gone back to normal. It hadn’t. The screen glared back at me: 214 new notifications. My heart stuttered. “Leo Kingsley’s Confession: Still in Love?” “The Viral Girl Who Stole a Billionaire’s Heart.” “Celeste Montgomery: From Server to Spotlight.” I blinked. What? I clicked the first headline. The article was short. Too short. In a shocking turn of events, billionaire CEO Leo Kingsley respo

Chapter: Chapter Three : Grandma's CallLeo’s POV I didn’t hear the buzz of my phone at first. Not over the quiet hum of the air conditioner. Not over the ticking clock that marked each second I refused to waste. My office was sealed from the chaos outside—soundproofed, temperature controlled, meticulously maintained. I didn’t tolerate noise. Not from people. Not from problems. I'd told Briar not to disturb me. She knew better than to test my limits. But the damn phone kept buzzing. Once. Twice. Three times in rapid succession. I didn’t look up until it buzzed again. And again. I exhaled sharply, jaw clenched, then picked it up. The screen glared back at me with thirteen missed messages. Ten from Briar. Three from my grandmother. A flicker of unease passed through me. Gran never texted more than once. If she had to repeat herself, it meant something was wrong. I unlocked the screen. All the messages boiled down to one line: “Celeste Montgomery is trending.” The name hit me like a punch to the chest. Not because
