CELINE’S POV“Who Are you referring to as Atlas? Officer Dudley flings a question and my eyes quickly widens. It is notAtlas. I don't know what made me to think he is the one“Officer Dudley” I say in Shock and narrow my eyes to try and examine if truly I have got it right , but Yes it is officer Dudley. I really do not understand what just happened here. I raise my hand to my head and swipe my hair to the side. This surely makes no sense and at the same time is perplexing. I don't understand How I see Atlas in officer Dudley. It seems stranI'm all ramification. “Why did you call me Atlas, I thought you said that is the name of your boss, or am I now your boss without knowing?” He chuckles and proceeds more close to the Bar. I close my eyes and skim them open to be sure that I am not seeing wrongly. Yeah, truly it is officer Dudley. But then how is this even possible and what is the cause of it? why would I refer to Dudley as Atlas? I sigh heavily with my eyes cruising“I am sorry ab
CELINE’S pov“Sit” he spits and presses me to the chair that is facing another chair. I Sit down and lay my cuffed hands on the table which is just in front of me. He walks to the other end and sits facing me. “As you can see, we are Both alone and I really wish that we have a transparent conversation just the both of us” he coos and reclines backward, resting his back on the back of the chair. “Okay” I sigh and flip my eyes. I gulp down saliva and lick my lips after which I lace him a pale stare. He places his hand on the chair and gawks directly into my eyes as though wanting to bring both something from them. not etahe redrafting for the lost of his life or His kissing rib. You all Surely know I won't be intimidated by that. I leave my Eyes directly at him, also peering into his gaping globes. His face is aged and wrinkled with some dark spot on his slightly pale skin. “Are we just going to keep staring at each other or did you bring me here for something else?”I bash at him and
CELINE’S POVI am still In the interrogation room with officer Dudley. His eyes gawking at me as he tries to pitch out the truth from me which I have already told him. “So, I ask you one more time, did you attempt to kill Harley!?l he yelps and spams his hand on the table. My eyes roar at him but I say nothing. Just as he wants to come close to me, the door hinge creaks. I turn my stare at the door and it is surprisingly Atlas Finn at the entrance while wearing a bold face in a black sleek suit with his right hand fully stacked in his pants pocket. I don’t think I am going to fall into this mental trap anymore. I am sure it is my head playing With me like it did before. I close my eyes and sigh before I shoot them back open. “Mr Atlas!” Officer Dudley’s voice shoves me back to reality. I sunken my eyes and lash at Atlas who is staring at me sternly as though I have offended him. His brows are slanted and his eyes shift inside. He walks deep into the room with all majesty and his ha
CELINE’S POV“Saying a thank you won’t hurt” Atlas’ voice boles away my silence after officer Dudley made his way out. I don’t know what to speak out from my mind because I technically have nothing in my mind to say. I think at this point I am relishing the freedom of just staring at him in silence. As weird as it is going to sound, I am liking his gruff face. One part of me wants to rush up to him with a hug for saving my ass because I need to be at Harley's side so Kyle doesn’t do the unthinkable to her. I stand up from the chair slowly with my eyes not taking a break from staring at him. I exhale and stare at him while he still stands very prideful. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t ask you for your help. I had it all under control” I spit and surely now my pride is in check. His frowning face takes a different turn. I mean it becomes three times more horrible than it already was. He opens his mouth and tries mumbling something but he swallows it. Of course there isn’t way I am going to
CELINE’S POV“Let go…” I whiff at Atlas who is trying to pull his phone aohr from my hand. I move backward and he comes at me with a fiery frown. “Don’t come close to me. There is no way I am saying that and there is no way either I am going to give you the chance to call the mayor and make him detain me again.” I wag my head and stare at him steely with the phone by my side He remains calm with his hand pressing in his pocket. He isn’t saying anything and that is getting me more better or tied because I know whenever he acts this way, something big is coming. “You don’t want to test my patience…” he breezed out in his charming and husky voice. Oh gosh!there is just sketching about the way he speaks. My eyes roam around his face and runs to his curved eyebrows with looks sharp like a sword. “Stay away from me. I have already told you thank and that should be enough.” I slam again as just before I can finish my sentence, I feel my back pressing on the wall. I turn sideways and stare
CELINE’S POV“Get off me…” I whisper in a idk tone with my eyes gawking weakly at him. His hot breathing is Al king only face over and over. The more it hits my face, the more goosebumps fill my body. My left hand rest on the wall and I draw imaginary lines on the wall. Pushing down saliva down my throat is not what is keeping me composed. This feeling is not that of fear but I can’t explain it. His beards just rubbing si closely to my face. His cute and beautifully moisturized face is another attraction that I can’t resist on a closer look. There must be a way I can get out of this. But he seems to charming to wave away. My grasp on the wall with my finger becomes stronger. I can also feel his heart beat increasing in pace. I guess I am not the only one feeling uneasy. His orbs are just like a cage that I can’t escape from evem though they are open. The whole nerves in my body ar dead. This feeling is fun but weird and scary. He pushes us lips closer like and one forward. They are
CELINE’S POV“Hudson..” I call out in shock. Hudson is standing at the door, giving me a bizarre stare with eyes bulging out from his face. He looks at Atlas very sternly. He takes a step further with slow and tardy steps, he finally makes his way to where we are. “You are here” I say rhetorically. He turns his gaze away from Atlas and looks at me and nods. I don’t know why he is staring very confused and pissed. “Hi, good day” he says and offers his hands to Atlas. The latter looks at him and slams his hand on the former. “Good day, friend.” Atlas does not only shake him but hugs him with a smile. This is really weird. I narrow my eyebrows and muse. “So how is Harley please?” I ask quickly to break the awkwardness that is lingering. “Yeah, she’s fine and awake now. That’s the reason I came.” He divulges. MyEyes broadens and illuminates instantly. “Wait! Are you kidding right now!?” I totter out at the top of my voice. He breezes a smile and wags his head. “Not at all, she cam
CELINE’S POV“I’m sorry Hudson, but I have to.. “I stutter and make a pitiful face. I think I have no other option. Or sure Altas is going to create a mountain out of a molehill if I choose to go with Hudson. “Of course it’s nothing. It’s all fine. We will meet at the hospital then” Hudson smiles and shakes his head. I can’t give him a full blooming smile but then I am happy he understands. I wave at him as he heads forwards in his white car. I spin and meet a flummoxed gaze from Atlas. The psycho has his hand stuck in his pocket and he asks with a smile of victory. I gawk at him and wait for him to make the first move. “Shall we, PA?” He bawls and spreads his right hand in the motion of directing me towards his car. I flinch a serious stare at him and grind my teeth. I walk towards the car with my head decked downwards in anger. I remember how his hands were just on mine some minutes back. I can only imagine what got over me at that point. I open the door aggressively and slide i
