He never would have imagined that the intelligent and aloof Celeste would have a day like this, appearing adorably naive and innocent.Damon used to like girls who were delicate and pure, but that changed when he met Celeste.She had a face full of charm and allure, but her expression and personality were always cold and unyielding. She was pale and slim, yet not childlike. On the contrary, she resembled a young poplar tree, proud and upright.Because of her, he began to like girls who sparked his desire to conquer, and he scoffed at those who were simply weak and shy.But now with Celeste like this, he didn't feel annoyed. In fact, not only was he not annoyed, he actually found it cute and interesting.“What's your name?” she asked again."Damon.""Oh, that sounds really nice."The initial confusion in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sparkling glimmer, and her tone carried a touch of a young girl's excitement."You are actually my husband… Wow, great job, me! I've managed to
In the Regalia Hotel's presidential suite, Celeste York looked at the sleeping man in front of her. For a moment, she couldn't bring herself to react.Her body ached, and hickeys were scattered across her neck and chest. The clothes and condoms that littered the floor told her what she needed to know. She had slept with him.Celeste held back the feeling of discomfort and climbed past the man on the bed to get to the bathroom. After a quick shower, she changed into her clothes. She even grabbed a box of cigarettes from the man's pant pocket and lit one for herself.Through the smoke, she quietly watched as the sated man slept.Damon Bishop was 26 years old and the eldest son of the Bishop family, which owned the country's largest financial group. On top of that, his face could rival top male celebrities in the industry. He was noble and good-looking, cool and unobtainable.His name represented influence and high status throughout Taverdale and the whole country.Celeste kne
"Oh, right. The video has been uploaded to my account, and the password shared with my best friend." Celeste shrugged as if it was no big deal. She moved closer to Damon and said, "You'd better kill me now, Mr. Bishop. I don't mind sacrificing my life to ruin the Bishop family's reputation a month before your wedding."She knew he was getting married soon, and yet still dared to scheme against him. What a shameless and crafty woman she was.Damon took in Celeste's smiling face. It seemed like she was sure nothing could get at her. Then, he reached out for her slender neck.The suggestive marks on her fair skin were all caused by him. And for some reason, this made his breathing ragged.Even as he gripped her neck, Celeste just kept smiling and didn't fight back.Damon didn't let go until her face started to turn a little purple and her smile began to crack."If you want money, come to the 16th floor of Bishop Tower after 9:00 am. If not, you can do whatever you want. Just mak
Celeste wore a red halter dress that exposed her fair shoulders and arms. She was seated at a table amidst some men, casually chatting with them. So far, she had won all the games, and the chips in front of her piled high.With an air of indifference, Damon noticed that his marks on her had faded. It seemed that her skin's ability to heal was exceptional."Mr. Bishop!" The surrounding men all stood and greeted Damon respectfully. Only Celeste remained seated and acted as though he was a stranger.Damon sat down in an empty chair, but he didn't participate in the card game. He watched coldly as Celeste cheated in every round, her expression never shifting once.The men at the table were either rich, powerful, or both. Still, they didn't get mad when a beauty like Celeste won their money. It felt like they were simply humoring her. They continued to play from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. By the end of the night, Celeste had more than a million dollars worth of chips."Won't you
Celeste didn't actually expect Damon to show up at her hotel room. The only reason why she had publicly flirted with him was to strengthen the impression he had of her."How did it go, Cel?" read Megan's text.It had come in as soon as she walked out of the casino and checked her phone."It was alright. But I lost all the money you lent me," Celeste replied, letting out a bitter laugh as she typed. As it was now late, she headed to the hotel next door to spend the night.It wouldn't be safe for her to be on the streets alone."That's alright. As long as Damon didn't make things difficult for you," Megan said. She had grown up with Celeste and knew how stubborn she could be. Her only hope was for Celeste to stop putting herself in harm's way."Don't worry, Meg. I know what I'm doing," Celeste texted back.As soon as Celeste reached her hotel room, she went for a bath.However, she had spent a lot of energy on tonight's card game and accidentally fell asleep in the tub. T
"Since you know that I've cut off my relationship with the York family, I hope you won't disturb my peace anymore, Madam Kissinger." Celeste smirked as she ended the call.By the time she returned home, it was already the next afternoon.Unsurprisingly, Shannon was there blocking the way to the door.Frowning, she went straight to the point and asked, "Celeste, what exactly do you want?"She didn't bother to keep the customary elegance that she used with others."You know what I'm doing. I'm simply taking back what's mine." Celeste regarded Shannon flatly. "Go away. It doesn't do well to just stand there like a traffic cone.""Taking back what's yours? You've already cut off your relationship with Father. What does the York family have that's yours anymore?" Shannon's tone was ruthless. "I'm warning you. Don't keep hanging around Damon. He's now my fiancé.""Your fiancé? What a joke. I still have the marriage agreement Mr. Bishop Senior wrote. How did Damon become your fiancé n
There were about half a dozen people in the private room. Several gangsters surrounded the burly Camden like he was the star of the show."Mr. Bradley, good to see you." Celeste held back her disgust and put on a professional smile.She walked straight toward Camden and handed him the wine list. The club's uniform was a white shirt paired with a black-striped jacket and skirt. It looked good on Celeste.Her waist was exceptionally slim, and she had curves in all the right places."A woman in uniform sure is hot!" One of the gangsters whistled.Someone else immediately groveled, "Mr. Bradley sure knows how to have fun."Camden's chubby hand landed on Celeste's. He pressed their hands together as he flipped through the menu.Although Celeste felt like she was going to throw up, she forced herself to stay still.She didn't want to cause Megan any trouble. She repeatedly told herself to endure it and hold it in."Aw, don't stand there like a stranger. Come, sit down and tell m
"Let go of me. I'm not in the mood," said Celeste.She realized what Damon was up to only after he pressed her into the couch and started undoing her buttons.What a pervert.She was aware of what she currently looked like, even without checking a mirror.Yet, he somehow still wanted to sleep with her.As Celeste complained to herself, she started struggling violently."You keep showing up in front of me. And this time, it's during such an incident, too. Am I not doing what you wanted?" Damon chuckled coldly.He clasped her hands behind her and then laid himself atop her.It seemed that he had misunderstood. Damon assumed Celeste had arranged this whole thing so that he could be her knight in shining armor. Furthermore, he thought that her motive was to get closer to him.Celeste couldn't take the effort to explain herself and once again put on her signature smile."Yes. How else could I provoke your protective instincts if I didn't put myself in a more pitiful state?" Ce
