Married to a Playboy CEO

Not a plan!

“Celeste.. it's not like what you hear right now." Archie said to her, she kept standing for a while, her face was puzzled. Archie approached her and grabbed her shoulder.

"Are you worried about the dress code of the club?." Celeste said with a smiling face.

"What?" Archie asked her, and she nodded. Archie realised that Celeste had not listened to anything. He breathed a relief.

She was wearing the clothes he gave her. She looked incredibly beautiful in them, even more than he had expected. The pink colour made her glow like no other colour did.

"I knew this dress would fit you perfectly," Archie added.

"What? Did you buy it yourself?" She appeared stunned, and he stared at her.

"You didn't like it?" Archie asked. She had refused the pendant worth millions, so he doubted whether she would accept the clothes, which is why he handed them through Manager Martha.

"I like it. But how do you know my size?" She asked him. It was neither loose nor tight. It was perfect for her.

"Last evening when we fell. I assume your breast must be 34 and your waist..." Archie started making hand gestures and assumed her body size. She was blushed like never before.

"Hey. Why are you blushing?" Archie thought it was normal, but Celeste was so shy, She immediately ran away from the VIP longue.

At palace

Everyone was having dinner, and every dish was Archie's favourite dish.

"Where is fried fish?" His mom called the chef and asked them to serve it. "It's fresh fish from your favourite place, our farmhouse to Gorten." Mom added.

The chef served it to him, Archie tasted it but it was nothing compared to the fish fry he had that day. Celeste made it for Jack. Why it tastes amazing? He recalled, how he licked his fingers even in his car.

"Please add sesame seeds to it next time." He said, his mom widened her eyes.

"Sesame seeds? Don't you hate it?" His mom was baffled. She already realised something was fishy.

"But I like it now. Add it to every dish." Archie instructed Chef who looked a little scared. Archie noticed Mom kept looking at the clock repeatedly. The dinner was served but his mom had not even touched the spoon.

"What's the matter, Mom? Are you waiting for someone?" Archie asked. Till now his mom

must have finished her dinner and gone back to her room.

"We have a special guest coming to join us today," Mom replied.

"A special guest?"

"Yes. She will be staying with us for a few days," Mom said, and she looked happy as she glanced behind Archie. "She's here."

When Archie turned around, Zina was coming from the car. Mom had invited Zina to stay with them. As soon as Zina arrived, she hugged Mom.

"Mom, what is this?" Archie asked his mom annoyingly. He knew Zina's presence there was going to ruin his plan.

"I know you two are dating. It's time to make this relationship official," Mom said, and Archie got irritated.

"f**k it." He smashed the spoon on the table and left back to his room. He didn't even turn back to look. Seeing this, Zina started crying. She wrapped her arms around Myra and sobbed.

"Auntie, Archie loves that waitress. I know that's why he broke up with me." Zina told Myra. "I know she is a golddigger and behind Archie's money. But Archie is so kind that he would never understand her plan." Zina added. Myra was influenced by Zina and caressed her.

"Don't worry, Zina. I will never let her be with Archie. I promise," she added.

As soon as Celeste came home, Jack placed his school notebook in front of her.

"What's this?" she asked, knowing he usually does this only when he doubts any question.

"The day after tomorrow is the last day to pay the school fees. Otherwise, I won't be allowed to sit for the exams," Jack said stressfully. It was clear he felt bad even while speaking. She read the note from his class teacher.

"Should I skip school this year?" Jack asked, and Celeste's eyes widened with anger. "Why?" She had deeply regretted wasting a year herself. She had thought she would take a gap year and complete it the next year, but four years had passed, and it hadn't happened. "Don't think of skipping school. I will pay the fees by Monday." She said and Jack went back to his bed.

She just assured him but getting money was so difficult as she was immersed in a sea of debts. Tomorrow was Sunday, and she had a night shift. So, she had the whole day to arrange the money.

Celeste opened the job app and searched for lawn mowing jobs. Luckily, there was one available with good p*****t. As twice as she would get anywhere else. With one day of mowing, she could pay Jack's first school instalment. She grabbed a pen and noted down the address.

"404, Wellington Road." The address seemed familiar. She texted the given number and got an appointment in the morning at 10 o'clock.

The next day, when she arrived, she realized it was Archie's house. It felt weird to work there, but she had already taken the appointment which reduced her rating in the job app.

She walked inside and was glad to see that no one was there except the servants. As soon as she went inside, the house help gave her the lawn mowing equipment, and she started working. The green grasses had grown a little yet they wanted it to be perfect. She carefully shaped the grass.

Suddenly, her eyes went up to the balcony. She saw model Zina standing, drying her hair. She didn't know Zina was staying at Archie's house. Seeing her made Celeste feel a little hurt. Although there was nothing between her and Archie, she might have started liking him a bit.

"I'm chasing a dream that never existed. And Jack's words put me into this illusion," Celeste thought.

As she was cleaning the garden area with the mowing machine, someone suddenly stepped in front of it. It was Zina. She hurried down after seeing Celeste.

"Wow, you quickly chose your place. I thought I'd have to tell you where you belong," Zina said. Celeste squinted her eyes at her.

"What do you mean?" Celeste asked. She had only met Zina once, and they didn't talk that day. But seems Zina was holding grudges against her.

"You'll never succeed in getting Archie. Look at yourself, and your status. Even the servants in his mansion are wealthier than you," Zina said. Celeste glared at her angrily. Zina had come down just to insult her.

"Alright. Now let me do my work," Celeste said, moving forward.

"Do you have the nerve to ignore me and walk away?" Zina snarled, clenching her teeth.

"I have a lot of work. You can talk to me when I am free." Celeste said and that's irritated Zina even more. She clenched her fist.

"You mean I have no work to do? You bloody asshole.." Saying this she pushed Celeste so hard that Celeste fell into the swimming pool behind her.

Celeste fell into the water, her arms and legs flailing as she struggled to stay afloat in the deep swimming pool. Zina stood nearby, wrapping her hand. She just smirked to see her struggle. Celeste didn't know how to swim, she realised the pool was too deep to get out by herself.

"Help... Save me... Someone. Please save me.” she cried out desperately. Her voice caught the attention of several staff and guards who rushed to her aid, but Zina blocked their path.

"No one is going to save her. it's just a swimming pool. She is not dying." Zina warned sternly and prevented them from stepping in.

Celeste feared for her life as she sank deeper. Suddenly, she heard a loud splash as someone jumped into the water.
