Heart of a Shark : Love for My Ruthless Husband's Brother

Celeste Everhart (18) never expected a second chance—to reclaim her voice, and her fate, and uncover the truths that remained buried in her first life. Once an unwanted heiress sacrificed to the secretive and ruthless Brightwell family, Celeste forced herself to become something she could never imagined herself to be. A shark. Celeste saw a glimpse of what was hidden in the shadows at night and had failed to take her place in the Brightwell family. Or rather they had failed her. With the weight of her past life’s memories, Celeste knows what she would do differently… or so she believes. Yet, the more she navigates through these familiar yet treacherous waters, the more she discovers just how little she truly understands. And in this life, three men from her past emerge in ways she could never have foreseen: Avond Brightwell (28) the man she once loved so deeply that he became her voice and her world. But as hidden layers reveal themselves, Celeste begins to wonder—was Avond the man she thought he was? Or is he something far more dangerous? Tiel Brightwell (22) the one who once despised her, mocked her silence, and later fathered her only child. Now, he seems capable of kindness and perhaps even love, but Celeste can’t forget the pain he caused. Will she forgive him, or will she let go of who she was to destroy him? Even when he had not committed the crimes he committed in the past? Gen Callisto (23) the shadow from her sister’s stories, is a self-made millionaire with a tragedy looming in his future. Drawn to him in unexpected ways, Celeste must decide if she can save him from the darkness, or let him perish with the rest. As Celeste battles between love, loyalty, and the desire for vengeance, she faces a final question: will she remain the person she was before and let her new life take its course? Or will she let the hurt of her past turn her heart cold? After all, what better vengeance than to come back with the heart of a shark? -------- Disclaimer: The story begins with Celeste's first life— so please stay tuned because it will be worth it!

The Plan

What followed was a series of arguments between Avond and Wouter while Celeste and Jade sat listening to the two men.

Avond insisted that Celeste was someone who hadn't even begun to understand what it meant to be a Shark, while Wouter argued that this was precisely why she was perfect for the job. 

"Besides," he added, "they wouldn't be so far away that she couldn't scream for help if she needed it." Avond leaned back, holding his ground on the matter, while Celeste, who was listening to all of this, appreciated him for thinking of her safety first.

However, she wanted to know the fear of being in that water, not just from looking at it. 

"Avond, I know I don't know a lot, but I have to start somewhere. So, please?" Celeste asked as if she were requesting permission to go on a vacation alone.

Avond sighed, tapping a finger on the table restlessly before he relented.
