Chapter 3

The next day, I returned to the apartment to retrieve my personal belongings.

When I reached the study, I heard someone flirting and laughing inside.

The door was not shut. Celine’s back was facing me as she sat on Matt’s lap and acted coyly.

When Matt saw me, he was not affected at all. Instead, he grabbed her face and kissed her passionately.

After that, he asked smugly, “Celine, you gave me Oscar’s data again. He’ll be unhappy when he finds out!”

Celine leaned against his chest and appeared indifferent. “Does it matter? He’s just a tool.

“I’ve gotten sick of him after ten years. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s still useful, I would’ve asked him to leave the company.

“It’s just some data analysis. He’ll give me anything if I just treat him a little better.”

I bit down on my tongue. The bloody taste could not replace the bitterness in my heart.

The scenes of unreserved effort and our sweet past were stabbing me in the heart like a knife.

I finally gave up.

The two of them were still talking while Matt was staring at me viciously.

“Celine, do you think Oscar would take his own life if he saw photos of us kissing?”

Celine laughed and kissed Matt on the cheek.

“Please, you’re the one who purposely did it in front of the media so that Oscar would give up after seeing the trending news.

“That’s so bad of you!”

“But do you like it?”

After Matt said that, he thrusted his hip upward, and Celine giggled.

I did not want to see anything else. When I reached the elevator, I received a security app notification. I had accidentally recorded the conversation earlier.

No wonder every time I asked Celine when we could be official, she would smile meaningfully.

Giving Theo a call, I asked him to send his assistant to pick up my personal belongings and put the apartment up for sale. At the same time, I sent him the voice recording to be kept as evidence.

As for Celine, I no longer wanted anything to do with her.

I had just parked my car at my personal office when Celine sent me a text message.

[Now you’re sending a lawyer to mitigate this? Where’s your dignity?

[I didn’t see him. I want you to come over personally and apologize to me. Then, I want you to resume working on that overseas case that you ruined. Only then will I forgive you.]

In the past, I would have definitely agreed and followed her instructions.

Forget a case like this, I would willingly give up everything for her.

However, that was no longer the case. I simply replied, [Please look at your email for the relevant legal document.]

After Celine saw this, she thought that I was sending her a long list of gifts to choose from like I would in the past.

So, she sounded even more shameless in her text messages.

[Didn’t you throw away all the gifts that were meant for me? Why are you begging for me to forgive you now?

[I saw a few auction items that I wanted. They’re expensive, but you offended me, so you have to buy them for me.]

I did not bother to answer her. Instead, I blocked her number.

The lawyer sent me a text message to inform me that someone was interested in buying my apartment. Very soon, it would be sold.

I nodded and entered my office to work on the pending items.

I did not expect Celine to show up with Matt.

The receptionist stopped her, and she was extremely furious.

“Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?

“Ask your boss to meet me. If he doesn’t appear within three minutes, he has to bear the consequences.”

She ordered others around smugly, and she was completely oblivious to my decision to cut her off.

The receptionist remembered my instructions clearly, so she did not give in.

Celine was livid. “Just you wait and see. I’ll get Oscar to fire you immediately! Even he relies on me for money, and you dare to stop me?”

After that, she took out her cell phone and realized she could no longer call me.

She was stunned. It was then that she became a little frantic. At the same time, I was about to go out for a business meeting.

Matt pointed at me and immediately asked, “Isn’t that Oscar? I told you. He wouldn’t really let you go. He’s just playing a trick to make you take the first step.”

Celine immediately felt confident and walked angrily toward me. “Oscar, how dare you? It’s one thing to have some attitude, but it’s another to not even answer my calls. Do you think I can’t kick you out of this industry?”

She tried to jab her finger at me, but at the next second, Theo grabbed her hand. He had been standing behind me, and he warned her to be respectful.

I stared at her coldly. “I’d like to see how you plan to kick me out of this industry.”

Celine seemed to be caught off guard. She glared at me in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Matt immediately tried to smooth things over. “Oscar, stop antagonizing her. You’re just being stubborn right now. After this, you’ll still beg Celine to go back to you.”

Hearing this, Celine wore a look of disdain. “You’d better think it through. If you choose to burn bridges now, you’ll never get a chance to be around me ever again.

“It’s not like I’m not giving you a chance. You can beg me for forgiveness in front of everyone and transfer your company’s shares to me. Then, I’ll forgive you.”

I looked at her greedy expression and felt as though I was in a daze. Was I blind in the past? Why would I fall in love with her?

However, Celine was oblivious. When she saw that I was quiet, she thought that I was afraid, so she acted even more arrogantly.

“Don’t forget. You owe your reputation and network to Harmony Corporation. Without me, you’re nothing!

“If you don’t agree to my request, I’ll immediately release a statement and kick you out of the finance industry.”

She looked very certain, and Matt added fuel to the fire. “That’s right, Oscar. Just admit your mistake. If it weren’t for Celine, you’d just be a nobody.”

I found the situation hilarious and snorted. “That’s great.”

My reaction shocked Celine. “What did you say?”

I took a document from Theo and threw it at her.

“Harmony Corporation was just an experiment I did to fulfil my teenage dream. If I wanted to, I could replicate tens of thousands of the same thing.

“As for your so-called opportunity, I can create it myself. Sure, kick me out of the industry. Let’s calculate the amount of compensation you’ll have to give!”

Billionaire's Placeholder: Now Watch Me Shine Novel Cover
8.5
For two years, I was the perfect shadow of another woman. I wore the silk robes Brittain Austin bought, styled my hair exactly how he liked, and spoke in a voice pitched half an octave higher than my own. I was a placeholder, a living statue in a minimalist Manhattan penthouse, waiting for a man who looked at me but never actually saw me. Everything shattered when a news alert flashed on my phone: "Caryn Newman Spotted at JFK." The original was back. The woman I was hired to mimic had returned to claim her throne, and my secret two-year contract as her stand-in was set to expire in three days. Brittain didn't even give me the courtesy of a phone call. While he was supposed to be on a business trip, photos surfaced of him shielding Caryn from the paparazzi, his hand on her waist with a tenderness he never showed me. When I walked into his office to return his keys, he didn't look guilty; he just looked annoyed. He pulled out a checkbook and asked, "How much for the hurt feelings?" When I refused his money, he coldly ordered his assistant to freeze every one of my accounts before I even reached the elevator. I stood on the sidewalk with zero dollars, realizing that to him, I wasn't a partner—I was just an expired lease. I had spent two years erasing my soul to fit into his world, only to be tossed out like trash the moment the real thing came home. But Brittain forgot one thing: before I was his doll, I was an actress. I pulled my secret weapon from under the bed—a notebook and a raw film cut he never knew existed. I called my agent and launched a high-profile "showmance" with my co-star that set the internet on fire. As I blocked Brittain's number and moved into a dusty apartment in Queens, I realized the show wasn't over. For the first time, I was the leading lady.
Bound By Blood: The Billionaire's Contract Novel Cover
7.1
I woke up gasping for air, expecting the cold concrete of a prison cell, but my fingers sank into the plush leather of a luxury Lincoln. I was twenty-four again, wearing the silver silk dress from the night my life was systematically destroyed. Beside me sat my cousin Catrina, the woman whose carefully crafted lies had orchestrated my ruin and sent me to a penitentiary for five years. In my first life, this was the night the dominoes fell. Catrina stole my jewelry to paint me as mentally unstable, and by morning, I was stripped of my medical license and labeled a criminal. My mother’s family, the Montgomerys, stood by and watched as my father’s company was devoured by wolves, treating my existence like a "liability" that needed to be managed. I still felt the phantom tremors in my hands from prison fights and the stinging betrayal of being discarded by the people I called family. I had lived through five years of absolute hell, a former surgeon rotting in a cell while the people who framed me toasted to their success at galas I was no longer invited to. "Don't be selfish, Dawn," Catrina whispered, reaching for the necklace that would later be used as evidence against me. "Let the jewelry shine on someone who actually matters." She thought I was still the fragile victim she could manipulate, but she didn't realize I had returned from the grave with the cold, clinical calculation of a fixer. Instead of walking into her trap at the gala, I forced the car onto a dark service road and dragged a dying billionaire, Jennings Stafford, from the wreckage of a burning SUV. He was the only man powerful enough to destroy my enemies, and as I stitched his wounds with stolen supplies, I didn't ask for a thank you. I looked him dead in the eye and proposed a contract that would set the world on fire. "I want a strategic marriage. You get a harmless wife with a legacy name to calm your board, and I get immunity from everyone who ever touched me." The bill for my five years in prison had finally come due, and I was here to collect.
