100. The press meet
Celia’s POV
I watched him as he stood before the podium. Three mikes are arranged before him. “Mr. King?” Someone called and Alex turned to his left. Maybe that someone is at his left. “Have you gone for a trip to Los Padres National forest fifteen days back?”
Alex nodded his head saying yes.
“You went there accompanied by a Miss. Celia Davis?”
He nod his head again.
“So are you publicly accepting that you have been cheating on your wife.”
He moves closer to his mike, “No. I don’t. For your kind information, we both are really on good terms.”
I am sure people there will be exchanging dubious looks. They don’t know that he is referring to me while they are talking about Amy. Why the hell does he have to play like this? If he had just said everything on the beginning, there will be lesser confusion and mo

Celia’s POV Like Xavier expected, not many people liked or it believed the way Alex explained things. Some said, exactly why do we have witness such a nuisance? While Alex murmured exactly why do you cared when you think it as a nuisance. Fair enough. His employees are pretty much impressed. ‘Oh! We know her before. My colleague and I had a bet that they both were married and didn’t just make it official.’ A girl who works at his company commented. The why didn’t you say it before? “Finally. I was afraid that they were separated. So, this is the story. For Celia and Alex,” This particular comment is from Garratt Green. This is the only comment for which Alex frowned even though it is a positive one. He didn’t give even a fleeting glance at other comments and views like Xavier did. Obviously, he doesn’t care like he never did. Xavier’s decision puts him in a position where he has to pr

Celia's POV "And I forgot," I turned to the man who is as white as his moustache. "Here is the contract. I want you you to put in words that you will never touch me or my family in any way." And he signed it without reading the full contents of it. I like how I am able to knock him down. This exactly how I used to be. Right when I was about to leave this man forever for good, I heard a muffle laugh. For a second, I thought it was Jonathan, but he is not even able to lift his finger. I turned back to look at him. He is as confused as I was. The sound came again. It is a combined chuckle and I am sure, we two are not the only persons here. The way to the bedroom has elegant cherry black silk curtains and they are moving. Jonathan gasped at the sight. It is the only sound he made after a lot of silence. They moved again like someone ruffled them. There came the two pairs of shoes when the curtain raised a bit. Jonathan fall back on to his couch. There are constant whispers like w
Ruthless 103. Changes again
Celia’s POV “No. To Sasha's.” I told Elijah when he said he would take us home. I am not handling these two morons on my own. Xavier sat next to Elijah in the front seat. He turned back at my words. “Wait, you forgot. Our company –” An annoyed breath escaped my mouth automatically. I think, it is the twenty eighth time, I am doing this after I caught these stupid brothers hiding behind the curtains. My lips twitched and I moved closer to him by bending my body, “We are going to Sasha so that she would bring a bucket of water to help us.” “Oh.” He nods his head hesitantly as if processing that. After few seconds, he quickly turned his head back. “Call fire engine. That would be simple. What? Wait. Are you even telling facts?” His eyes widened as he looked at me closely, “Celia?” I laughed in relief, “Congratulations on getting your senses back.” I mutter. He groaned looking at his surroundings and searched for Alex. Once, he found that his very smart brother is s
Ruthless 104. Shitty plan
Celia’s POV It is like you came into a bright sun after spending hours amidst a dark room. The thing is, you still can’t see anything for a while. His kiss is like that. It makes me feel numb. The spots he is exploring are the only exception and my heart counts in too. He doesn’t touch it physically. I could feel it abused, loved, mended, broken and lived and is living since he came. After few minutes of daze, I am aware of the sound we are making and the surroundings we are in. I clutch his shirt near his waist in an attempt to push him, “Little one is here.” I whispered against his lips. “And awake.” His lips would not stop the assault. He sinks more in to my mouth. That’s exactly what I wanted. But, my mouth says otherwise. “You are being reckless.” He locked the door behind us. “You have three minutes to come. Cayden will b
Ruthless 105. Finally Free
Celia’s POV I sat on the edge of my bed. Xavier and Sasha are looking at me like I am some Dinosaur walking naked in the middle of streets. I wrap my hands around my body hugging myself from the chilling weather. “Where is he?” I asked them. Xavier shook his head, “I am trying to reach him. He is not lifting my phone.” His slim apple phone slid smoothly in his hand while he played with it. I sighed as my shoulders fell slowly. “Come on. Since he was sixteen, he doesn’t like people taking care of his things. He might be angry. He will show himself sometime.” Sasha and I agreed with him. Xavier fell silent. ‘Cause the obvious truth is, since Alex was sixteen and all the years before, he has no one to take care of his things. By the time, Xavier entered, it is too late. Alex has started to become resistant to people until me.
Ruthless 106. Possibilities
“No.” He whispered after processing everything. That was a set up. Celia did that. For him, it meant only one thing. She trusted him enough. He is going to keep it. “I never saw you like that.” He told to the cute looking girl beside him. Not many people refer Amy as cute. But to him, she is still that little girl with backpack who followed him in silence. “It’s her. It's always have been her. I wasn’t good to her. I abused her. But, she didn’t think for a second to take my side when that woman who used to call herself my mother died. With her, I feel complete. I feel free and she doesn’t whine and complain. All she wants is me. That’s it. We both were so alike. I never felt so alive than I did with her. Because of her, I find myself attaching to Xavier again and we are good now. Even if it isn’t for her, I can’t really date you Amy. I could never be your man. That feels so wrong and Celia always feels so right no matter whatever it is.” “I know that I fucked up. But, what I felt for
Ruthless 107. At LA
Alexander’s POV I know this feeling of drawing someone’s picture when you miss them the most. We drew the curves as if we are touching them. We shade the corner of lips as if they are smiling for us and especially, we live in the moment of our past as if it is playing before us. We draw to stay close, to feel home, to feel safe, to feel their warmth and finally to feel them. I did it once after the death of that woman, after pushing Celia successfully because of my arrogant ass, nonsense judgment and baseless assumptions. I drew how she laughed after running away from the thugs. That was the first ever time I saw her laughing and giving a reaction like that. Back then or the other seconds before this instant, I never know that someone would miss me this much, that someone would love me this much and adore my laugh, cherish my little achievements, be proud of what I do and especially makes me feel that I am beautiful. Many said that before. But, feeling it without having to
Ruthless 108. New plan
Celia's POV I apologized Meg for what Alex did. Ryan is so sure that she is going to be one of his constants. I am on the road where I am no more cutting the threads with the people who cared for me. I wanted to keep them all in my life like a family. Yes. I am making a family of friends. Alex would never apologize for what he did. At least, I should do that instead. "It's fine. I can understand." She said after a lot of explaining our situations. "He really seemed to like you and I am happy for you both as long as your husband doesn't misunderstand anything and keeps his hands to himself." I wanna say, 'I highly doubt that.' But, I nodded my head in approval. She smiled and I know. It's not that friendly but she doesn't resent me either. We walked back to the house in silence. The only noise we heard after in the house is that of plates and other utensils either slipped or thrown, glasses smashing to some kind of solid things- either floor or
