Celeste's Pov,
Celeste threw the documents across the room, frustration evident in her body language.
What would she do now? This had been her final resort, yet it failed! She had no doubt her time was limited. What would happen if Isla found out…..there was no way she would because Celeste had made sure to clear any evidence left behind…but what if she did?
Celeste could not let that happen, not after she had publicly humiliated Isla because of this not too long ago. If it were found that she wasn't the True Wolfe heiress and Isla was….she would never be able to recover from it.
"Are you alright?" A concerned voice came from behind her. Without turning, she knew who it was already.
Adrian, Isla's husband, and boss…. also happened to be her lover. She didn't have much interest in her except for him being Isla's boyfriend, Celeste was unashamed to admit she'd do anything to hurt Isla, and him being a CEO and Billionaire was also a good addition.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired, I have a serious migraine," Celeste said with a small smile as Adrian walked closer.
"I'm so sorry Love, you've been working so hard recently that's why," Adrian said as he placed his hands on her shoulder, gently leading her to the bed.
"Oh please, we all know you're the one working the hardest." She said with a small smile as Adrian dragged her down on the bed and began walking on her neck.
As he went to work on her neck, Celeste allowed herself to be lost in thoughts as she pondered her next course of action.
************
Celeste snuck out of the room she shared with Adrian when she was sure he was asleep and wouldn't follow or hear her. She hadn't wanted to resort to this, but she was all lost on plans at the moment and was desperate.
She called the number she had not called in the longest time, hoping he'd believe her.
"What do you want, Celeste?" The dark voice said immediately that the call connected. The lack of emotion in his voice caused shivers to go down her spine.
She forced herself not to be affected and get started on what she planned to do.
"Damien, I know you don't like me but I had to call you. Isla won't like that I'm telling you this but I have no choice….." She said, making sure her voice sounded scared and uncertain.
What she was doing was dangerous, trying to manipulate and lie to one of the most dangerous men in the world, but at this point, she would do anything to make sure Isla didn't secure that inheritance, including unleashing her obsessive ex on her.
"What do you mean?" Damien asked after a moment of silence, the tone in his voice somehow curious, and Celeste bit back a smile.
"It is Isla, I'm worried about her. She won't let me help her, she won't let anyone help her….I-I can't just sit aside and let my sister suffer, we might be stepsisters but that doesn't mean I care less about her." She said, managing to stumble on some words, making it all sound more realistic.
"Do not waste my time Celeste, I am a busy man. If there is something you called me to say then spit it out, my patience is running low." He said, his voice low and threatening, Celeste's heart dropped to her stomach before she cleared her throat.
Damien had always made her uncomfortable, a cruel emotionless man who thought women were toys. Luckily for her, he had always had an obsession with Isla, he wanted to own her even.
She had no idea how Isla was able to escape from such a powerful man, Damien was well-connected, if he wanted to find her he surely would have.
"Isla is pregnant. She and Adrian have major issues and he has been abusing her, she is sick and depressed. I'm worried for her. I have told her to divorce him and she refused. To the extent I had to come live with them because I was scared and worried for her," Celeste said, holding her breath as she waited.
She hadn't planned to bring Adrian into all this mess, but if it would get the Job done then she didn't care much.
"And she didn't want me to know? So why are you telling me?" Damien asked, his voice even lower than before, Celeste smirked….it had worked.
"Who else can I call? I am worried about her and she won't let me help. You're the only person I know who can control her, that's why I called you. Come save her from this monster." Celeste said and waited, this should be enough. Damien was an obsessive dick anyway, she worried she had even stressed herself more than necessary.
"You must think I am a fool, Celeste. You have some nerve to call me in the middle of the night, when I did not give you access to my private number, and lie to me. I don't know what it is you think you are doing or scheming lying to me like this, but I will be merciful today because you are Isla's stupid younger sister, the next time you try this, it will be your last." Damien said and cut the call before Celeste could respond.
Celeste stood there for a moment, soaking up all the anger. She had wasted her time for what!? This man had let her talk for so long, knowing she was lying all along!? Celeste wanted to scream. Why did it seem getting rid of Isla was impossible? Was the whole universe working in her favor or what?
She walked back into the house and straight to the private room she had demanded from Adrian. She locked the doors and went into her drawer and brought out the Pistol she had hidden there.
"If Damien won't destroy Isla, I will."
