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.
Ruthless 37. Family
Alexander's POV "I don't want any crows at my home." She said her home. No one knows this, but I wanted to be this her home as much as it is mine. In fact, it never felt like a home until she stepped in. But I acted like a jerk and shut her out. Then I got to acted like a jerk to take her in. I can get her in and out of my life or this home like I wanted. But how could I get her to trust me? Everything I do ends in smoke. She ended up having nightmares on the day she met Jonathan. I thought she would be worse if I let her walk into that aisle of blood and diseased. I have got her an admission from fucking art school as a wedding gift. All my plans have gone vain because of the weather in Ottawa. I couldn't make it on time. And I kept her imprisoned until I arrived 'cause I'm afraid she would run away from me the second I let her go because of what I did. Maybe,I shouldn't have imprisoned her at all. There are a lot of things to say to her and I stayed mute. The bloody feeli
Ruthless 38. Pain & Disappointment
Celia's POV "You look great. " Lillian threw a praise at me as soon as she saw me. "I feel great. " I added. "Something great happened?" She Started to enquire with so much zeal which is apparent in her eyes. "We had breakfast this morning. All four of us." "Four?" I nodded zest fully. "Sasha and little one were there. Actually, Alexander's brother was there too. That makes us five." She pouted. How did I forget that she is also an important person to me? "When are you going to introduce him to me? You have already taken so many decisions without my approval. At least let me meet him." I wanted her to meet him as much as she does. But, there is no guarantee that Alexander and I would last. &n
Ruthless 39. Her reality
Celia's POV I don't have to pretend like I am avoiding or shutting him from my life. I am doing it for real. I know this is prejudice. But, if it is any other woman, I would have talked to him and let things slide since it is his past. But it is Amy. She will be in his life. She knows this flat's password, she knows his tastes, she runs errands for him and they belongs to the same social circle. He slept with her and did the same damn things that he did to me. The very thought made me want to throw up. He tried to talk to me, whenever we meet each other,he used to smile. One day,he even greeted and asked if we could have Cayden here. I fed him with some cock and bull stories to avoid him. He might have understood. After all,he is Alexander King. We are back to being strangers again. He wouldn't even come to home, even if
