28. Change of event
Celia
"He is not just capable of detaining you,Mrs. King. He can lop off your license. You will never be able to practice medicine. I advise you to sit tight at your home until he comes back. I will not inform Mr. King, your attempt to escape. If you do that again I'm afraid I should…."
I stopped him by raising my palm, "One - I am not Mrs. King. I will never be Mrs. King. You can call me Celia,not even Miss. Davis. Two - if your master doesn't come home by this evening or if he doesn't allow me to go out by this very evening,I am afraid, I'll tear every paper this house has, I'll smash everything it contains."
I stomped back to my room slamming the doors. In the last twenty hours,only I know how many plans I had in my mind to get out. I even acted like I had a heart attack. Turns out I am not a good actress. I got caught. Then I tricked them, I was caught again. I disguised

Ruthless 29.What is he?
Celia's POV He is lying on his stomach with his arms up above his head on either side. He went into a deep sleep the instant he fell on the bed. He neither moved nor woke up in between. It is 10 in the morning and he hasn't gotten up yet. He took my sleep away by scaring me and then startling me with that envelope. I was in a daze the entire night contemplating everything he has been doing. And there he is sleeping soundly. Nothing bothered him while he was asleep. He still has his shoes on. His skin's tanned. Because,I turned into a Mother Theresa, I laid a pillow below his head. He still looked beautiful, peaceful and vulnerable that I couldn't take off my eyes from him. Funny right! Last night I was frightened to death because of this man and now I'm appreciating his countenance. He needed to shave badly. Because the growth of beard is hiding the boy behind the face of man. After sometime of me watching
Ruthless 30. Devastated
Celia's POV Ever felt like you board a train unconsciously and travelled with strangers? You are crossing rivers, running into tunnels, forests, but you don't know where you are going until you find a spot and felt, "Oh, That's my destination. I have to depart now. " That's what my life has become now. It is like I am travelling without a destination and at some point,I spot the place where I live in. I've been going to hospital and then exploring unknown places. Sometimes,I even forgot the way to reach "home" that I am seeking Google's help. My credit card was much used at gas filling stations than at any other places. When I reach home,I don't find him. I am living by myself like a bat in a haunted house. He would go out before I even wake up and comes back after I was asleep. Sometimes,I would hear his footsteps outside my room. Deep down, I want him to or at least I expect him
Ruthless 31.Realisation
Celia's POV Alexander has not returned. He has not even called which clearly meant that he is never gonna come to my aid. Motivating myself, something that I always do, I have started to run the errands at the hospital. But the sudden disperse of Alexander like that yesterday felt like twisting a knife in my gut. The pain,hurt, embarrassment stays forever. "Dr. Celia?" "Hmm?" "Dr. Wilson has summoned you." My juniors around looked at each other faces as if they just heard something awful and looked at me as if they some saw something meretricious. Rumours really pass quickly, but truth doesn't. And the funny fact is no one wants to know about it either. They believe in what ever they are fed with. Do they even have a self? I touched the pocket of my lab coat to make sure that I had my knife in there. Something terrible is g
Ruthless 32. Laughter
Celia's POV I saw him regretting what he did to me. The pain he holds is apparent in his face. For a second, I want to console him, when I was the one who is beyond shattered. I couldn't help him in anyway. He looked devastated. But the fact that his own actions brought this consequences cannot be changed. I let him hurt, feel the pain and let him stay broken. There is a painful silence, perhaps it is all that we needed right now. He let out a breath, all his burdening agony came out in the form of a gas. "I was an outcast too." He finally spoke. I highly doubt that. I had imagined him like a guy from all the high school novels with a rich gang containing all the handsome and cocky friends,like a bullies whom the whole school is frightened of. This is another shock he gave me today. He noticed my reaction for his words and said, "It's true. Did you hear about my mother?" I nodded remem
Ruthless 33. Protect me?
Celia's POV I bent my legs and curled towards my torso. My head is rested in my palm. A sudden clap of thunder made me awake. Alexander is still staring at me when I opened my eyes. His gaze is intense like it is always. He smiled earnestly that came out as a so much warmth beaming to me. I smiled back and he reached to me and coaxed me in his arms. I snuggled more into his chest inhaling his scent. This is heaven. For a second,I forget everything he did to me. Clutching his shirt tightly,I rubbed my nose against his bare chest. " You like it?" He asked wrapping his arms around me tightly. He strokes my hair softly with his hand. "I loved it. I love staying here." My lips widened,eyes beamed and pulse is at normal pace and everything seemed easy and simple. " You really believed that all of this is true. Didn't you?" I raised my head and looked at his face in oblivion at his vague comment. He smiled again, but this time,there is no warmth and he appea
Ruthless 34. Knight in disguise
Celia's POV Aghast is such a little word to describe what I feel. There are a lot of things to take in. It has not been twenty four hours since I made myself clear about my life and what I wanted and how it would be. In a second, everything has become upside down. The life I know about has another story and the man I thought I know was not the real one. He said he is protecting me while I thought he was ruining my life. And I came to know that he almost died twice. I don't know which news is twisting the knife in my gut. I clearly observed Xavier's face when Alexander mentioned about the 'almost death' incident twelve years back. It is a clear mixture of pain,hurt,guilt and regret. He stood without words. "And I saved you, Xander. I don't think I can make it up to you with a single sorry. But since that incident,I suffered everyday." " You drowned me in the water and then you gave me your hand to help me. That's not called saving, Xavier. Could your
Ruthless 35. Scars
Celia's POV I am all ears while I am listening everything Xavier is saying about Xander. He doesn't have to do this at all. A man like him won't take this much time to talk to his brother's acquaintance or whatever I am, I still have no idea. But, this only shows his love for Alexander. He cared for him. When he talked about all the stupid and naughty things his brother did in his childhood, his eyes beamed with so much excitement as if he reminisced everything. Every time, he says something, he always added "I wish I had played with him or I wish I had listened to him and so many other I wish I had stuff. " What is the use of regretting now without actually living the moment. From this story, it hit me again that time can't be reversed even if you wish you did. " Why did you hate him so much when he loved you that much? " I questioned after hearing about a long drama of exuberant drama king - Alexander King. He let a deep breath out. " You d
Ruthless 36. Xander & little one
Celia's POV "You look like you are just bitten by a snake. Are you alright?" Sasha's words brought me back to the reality. "Yeah. I am just thinking about this and that." I replied standing up and hugging her tightly. "I missed you." She wrapped her hands around me and held my hands. "You really missed me. Otherwise you will be at home playing with Cayden. Instead you are waiting for me. Did something happen? Did you guys get into fight?" Sasha is good at making assumptions. I shook my head saying no. " I saw you talking to a man." "He is Alexander's brother. Just an acquaintance for me." "What?" Her response is a little aggressive like she heard something awful. "Do you know him?" I questioned trying to understand her reaction. "Nope. Not at all." She replied immediately. "He owns this restaurant, you know." While we are talking about this and that, she received a call from Mrs.
