CELESTE

As I walked hastily out of the Cafe, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of dread at what I needed to do. I had always known that working with Jeremy would come with its own unique set of challenges and I had prepared appropriate contingencies against them. But this, this was different, he was basically sending me on a suicide mission cause it was definitely suicide if Xaden were to ever find out that I was instrumental in the plot that cost him the land that he cherished so much. Financiers and investors aside, that property held so much sentimental value to him and it was beginning to make more sense why he harbored so much hate and contempt for Jeremy. I mean he had basically stolen the land deeds and held Xaden in perpetual limbo, he wasn’t able to begin projects on it and he also wasn’t able to sell.

On the other hand, I was caught in deep shit, a real rock and a hard place kind of dilemma. Jeremy would burn all the bridges to make sure he exposed me to Xaden and Xade

    CELESTEHis familiar voice which was now a little raspy with dizziness and intoxication called out from behind me.I promptly wiped the stunned look that had formed on my face as a result of his surprise entry and turned to face him.“Was someone worried about me? Or probably even missing me?” I asked as I wore a cheeky smile and moved closer to him. He had one hand in his pocket and the other was grasping tightly to a steaming cup of coffee.“Maybe a little bit of both.” He began as he made his way to the chair. “I got up not quite long ago to meet an empty couch and Melissa said you quickly stepped out after receiving a phone call. Who called you so late in the evening that you had to step out in such a haste?” He wore a bemused look but I wasn’t sure if it was out of confusion or suspicion and I quickly cursed Melissa under my breath for being such a snoopy little bitch. Why had she given so much detail? She could have simply said she had no idea where I was and that would have bee

    XADEN“It happened maybe about eleven or twelve years ago.” I began after maybe what was a few minutes of consideration. “I can’t remember the exact timeline of events but you can bet that the event itself has been permanently etched in my memory.” I watched as Celeste listened with a rapt attention and I couldn’t help but feel vulnerable at the information I was letting slip. I had never told anyone about this before, I just couldn’t and anytime it ever came up, it was almost like I was opening up a can of worms. A can of worms that I would rather have buried deep, very deep.But with Celeste, it seemed different. I felt a peculiar kinship to her at that moment more than ever before, even more than when we were together. I felt as though I could tell her anything and she would always have my back and hold me down. I mean, if it wasn’t for her, I would have remained oblivious to the escapades of Soraya and would never have known exactly what she had been up to. It only felt natural to

    XADEN “You got that right. He muscled them into fearful submission and a good number of them even offered to give us the land for free as long as they could just get their children back. The ones who chose to fight back, simply disappeared and were never heard from again. I was surprised when a lot of the slots started opening up, so I investigated a little and to my utmost shock, I found out what he had been doing. I was livid! The contract had been attached to my name and for everything he did, the landlords thought I gave permission for it.”“You must have felt really bad that a lot of good people got hurt and most of them thought it was your fault.”“I was beyond furious and when I confronted him about it, he simply mocked my meekness and told me to my face that I didn’t have what it took to get things done and make the investors happy. Like I said, a scoundrel would do anything just to add a few zeroes to his bank account. I preferred not to handle business that way and fired hi

    SORAYAThe days that followed Xaden’s outburst were incredibly strange to say the least. From being the lady of the house, I had been completely relegated to the sidelines and had no choice but to play the role of a supporting character in my own home. I couldn’t tell the difference between my situation and that of a prisoner who simply had a few liberties with no right of objection. The only spark in my otherwise dull and monotonous daily routine was the presence of Kaylee in my life. I held tightly to that singular ray of hope as I schemed and put the wheels of my revenge into motion.I definitely wasn’t going to take such a defeat lying down and the thing with supporting characters was that nobody ever noticed them but they noticed everything. Xaden didn’t mince words when he made his instructions clear and I wasn’t to take one step out of line. I was certain that Celeste thought that would be enough to limit how much I could do but what she didn’t anticipate was the unlikely ally

    SORAYA It was like taking candy from a baby, except it was almost as if this particular baby didn’t even care for candy at all. I was completely surprised at how easy and well that had worked. Melissa however, was still very much frightened and feared for her job, maybe even for her life.The poor thing. I thought as I strained a bowl of brown rice that I had soaked for the better part of the morning. She probably had never done anything quite so treacherous before and simply could not control the guilt that had begun to eat her up. Despite the fact that Celeste had been nothing but insufferable to her since she had moved back in, she still felt it was a grave sin to go against one’s boss. And to go as far as to drug their food, that was simply unforgivable. I could relate to the crisis of loyalty she must have been feeling. I’d had the same feeling and I couldn’t possibly remember the exact moment I had lost my sense of self righteousness but I knew that desperate times called for a

    SORAYA I psyched myself, taking in a deep breath as I prepared for what I was about to do. Xaden had returned home from work a little while back and of course, he had already settled in the living room with Celeste. I felt nothing as they giggled and laughed, enjoying each other’s company. The more he had chosen to avoid me and push me away like some sort of plague, the more I felt nothing when it came to him. I was completely indifferent to how he lived or what he did, all I wanted was to win against Celeste. I just couldn’t give her the satisfaction of thinking she had me beaten and bloodied. As I pushed open the door and entered the living room, I still felt nothing when the laughter died and the look on Xaden’s face completely turned into a deep frown.“What are you doing in here?!” He called out before I’d even made my way over to them.I said nothing, I just kept on walking till I stood directly in front of them.“Have you suddenly gone deaf? I said what are doing...”“Can I p

    XADEN I had stood on the pavement of the balcony and watched with contempt as Celeste was bundled into the car and carted off. She hadn’t stopped begging and pleading for forgiveness, even as I dragged her out by the hair. I was genuinely intrigued by what she thought she could have achieved by pleading with me and I simply concluded that she must have been extremely deluded if she ever thought there was a world I would have forgiven her for everything she had done. I had given George the express instruction of simply locating the nearest bus station he could find to drop her off. Frankly, I felt giving her a ride at all was a kindness she definitely did not deserve but I needed to be sure that she was off my property for good.I had been so furious with her that I didn’t even afford her the dignity of packing her belongings or taking any of the bags she came with. If my anger was sated sometime in the future, I might have them sent to her but if not, I would make sure to burn every

    JEREMY In no time, she would be mine. Soon, Soraya would be back in my arms again. I thought to myself as I sat expectantly in the chair of my home office, staring at the phone and waiting on Celeste’s call. First, I was going to take his land and then I would take his mate. Xaden would never know what had hit him and by the time he finally realized that I had taken him for a fool, it would be far too late.His devastation would be the manifestation of my much needed revenge, if only Celeste would just get off her ass and get me what I wanted. It had been almost four days since our last meeting and she already confirmed having knowledge of the location of the deeds, including the combination to the safe.Honestly, I would have been lying if I said I wasn’t incredibly surprised she was able to get it so quickly. Xaden was definitely slipping and he was slipping bad. The Alpha I had known all those years ago would have never been so easily manipulated.But why then is she taking so d

    CELESTE “Let’s just get this over with.” Soraya said finally in a choked up voice like she had been sobbing incessantly before or was trying her hardest to suppress a fresh batch of tears. I couldn’t tell exactly which it was, she had put on dark sunglasses to mask her eyes but the point was that she was in pain and it was music to my ears.We quickly took our seats as Xaden reached into a black briefcase before pulling out a relatively thick folder of documents. He placed them on the table and held his hands over them.“Antidote first!” He glared as I quickly rushed to grab them.“First of, you had better watch that tone with me or I walk out and take the antidote with me. Secondly, I suggest you get real cozy because Mr. Fabian still has to look through them first. When he gives me the go-ahead, you get the antidote.”I watched as Xaden turned and shared a look with Soraya who promptly nodded before he let go of the files. I picked them up hastily before handing them off to Fabian.

    CELESTE I took a quick glance at my watch as we slowly pulled into the driveway of Xaden’s villa. It was almost 8:30 am and as I took in the familiar surroundings, I still found myself in awe of its splendidness. It was really insane how a place you had lived in for so long, could suddenly look so different under the right circumstances.“Soon to be all mine.” I couldn’t stop myself from saying as I remembered my last time here and how it had ended in quite the shameful affair. Xaden had pulled me mercilessly by my hair and thrown me out like some disgusting handmaiden, not even allowing me the decency of packing a few belongings. He had completely embarrassed me while that bitch, Soraya, simply watched and smiled. I was reduced to nothing but a mere laughing stock but this time, things were different. This time, I was coming back with a vengeance and I was coming for everything.If Xaden wasn’t prepared to hand everything over to me, then he could kiss Kaylee goodbye but I knew b

    SORAYA “What is it now?” He said, annoyed.“You had better tell that bitch you call your mate to have all her bags packed before I arrive tomorrow. Once I get control of everything, that house becomes mine and so is everything inside it. If she isn’t packed before then, she would be kicked out with nothing but the clothes on her back. Do I make myself clear?”“Crystal!” Xaden blurted before hanging up the phone immediately.“I hate her so freakin’ much!” I glared as I rose to my feet.“Not as much as I do babe, not as much as I do. It would take everything in me not to kill her when she moves back in.”“I guess I had better go get packing before our new landlord kicks me out into the streets with no clothes.” I said as I reached for the door.“Wait.” He called out to me before I could twist the doorknob.I turned, looking over to him as he caught up with me and drew me close to himself.“Xaden,” I moaned in protest as I tried to wriggle out of his hold but his arms were strong and he

    SORAYA The words had hit me like a tire iron straight to the face and I felt like I had lost my wits as I did nothing but sit opposite of Xaden, smiling to myself. Even from a mile away, Celeste was still able to manipulate and get us to do exactly what she wanted. If I wasn’t so incensed at the whole situation, I would have applauded her, for her unrelenting schemes and machinations. Even when I thought I had won, it was all an illusion and while I was playing checkers, she had been playing chess the entire time. I looked over at Xaden who was already looking like a shadow of his former self. He had been cooped up in his office all week and drinking himself senseless, it was all making sense now. He’d had to make an impossible choice and whichever way he went, he was still getting the short end of the stick.“So what now?” I asked finally. “I just pack my things and leave?”“I don’t see any other way out of this mess Soraya.” “And you haven’t been able to find a way to get a perm

    XADEN “Shit!” I cursed out furiously as I tried to save some of the documents and clean off the liquor from the table. “Who is it?” “It’s Melissa Sir.”“And?”“I’m sorry to disturb you Sir but madam Soraya told me to come up here and ask if you would be coming down for dinner.”Shit! This was the third night in a row that she had sent Melissa up here to try and get me to come down. Each time I had come up with some sort of excuse. I had honestly thought she would have given up by now but Soraya was nothing if not persistent and I was even more surprised she hadn’t come up here to drag me down herself.“Erm... tell Soraya I’m really stumped with all of this paperwork I need to fill out and would be a bit late for dinner. If I don’t make it out there in time, please tell her not to wait up for me cause I may be working really late.”“Um..okay sir. So should I bring your dinner up here for you?” She asked, unsure of exactly what it was she needed to do.“You don’t need to worry about t

    XADEN Three whole days had already passed since Celeste had made her demands clear to me and I still wasn’t any closer to making a decision. To say I was heavily conflicted would have been an outrageous understatement. On the one hand, I wanted Kaylee safe and free from the effects of the poison that Celeste had injected her with. And on the other, the price of that safety would be losing both of them, Kaylee and Soraya, which was a choice I wasn’t prepared to make.Celeste had definitely gotten more crafty with how she had gone about this twisted form of blackmail. Signing the power-of-attorney over to her would give her sole control over all my businesses and holdings. Even the very roof over my head would be gone if I took one step out of line. So like I said, I was outrageously conflicted. There was no possible scenario where any of this would have a happy ending. I didn’t want to lose them but if I didn’t agree to the terms that Celeste was putting forward, then Kaylee would be

    XADEN“Give me a minute babe, I need to take this.” I said to Soraya, who didn’t even acknowledge my words. She just sat there looking dazed and my heart broke seeing her that way. I picked up the call as I made my way outside the clinic.“Celeste? Is that you?” “I’m sure by now, Kaylee should already be feeling the effects of the poison I injected her with.” She said in a mocking tone as she laughed maniacally.“You fucking bitch! What did you do to my daughter?! I swear I will kill you and feed your dead carcass to the vul...” “Oh shut up Xaden! You are in no position to make threats and you had better listen and listen good because Kaylee doesn’t have much time before that poison kills her.”“What do you want?! Is it money? I’ll give you anything you want. Just make this stop, I’m begging you!”I couldn’t help but feel helpless as she burst into that sick laughter again.“Oh Xaden, strong and powerful Alpha. Begging? I sure want to see that. Meet me at the Lupine gardens, the on

    XADENI sat in my office, trying to make sense of what had happened yesterday. I could only come to the conclusion that not killing Celeste when I had the chance was the biggest mistake I could have ever made. That mistake seemed like it was now going to cost me dearly.Kaylee’s cries had woken us up suddenly last night and even though it had been a long time since she woke up in the middle of the night crying, I didn’t think much on it or even suspect any form of foul play. That was until I got to the nursery to find Kaylee wailing uncontrollably with the window completely opened as the cold night air poured in.It wasn’t even remotely possible for either Melissa or Soraya to make such a fatal error and I knew immediately that something was seriously off. I decided not to raise any alarms until I was sure of my suspicions and so I took Kaylee upstairs to our bedroom without telling Soraya what I had discovered. I didn’t want to worry her unnecessarily just in case it turned out to be

    SORAYAThe surprise had been on my mind all day. The classes had gone by in a blur and even as I sat in the back of the SUV, on my way home, I still couldn’t help but obsess over what he had planned. George was quite the speedy driver even while maintaining the speed limit but I wished right now, more than anything that he would just step on it and get us home faster. Kaylee was already fast asleep beside me and it was probably not the best parenting to want George speeding with a kid onboard but still, I was curious and you couldn’t even blame me. Considering all I had been through, I deserved to be spoiled till I couldn’t take it anymore.We got home in less than five minutes and as I alighted, Melissa was already waiting by the entrance for me.“Good evening ma’am. I trust you had a pleasant day?” She asked as she reached out to take Kaylee from me.“It dragged on for too long.” I blurted. “Is Xaden in?”“Yes, the boss is in but he’s asked that you freshen up in your room and put o
