"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

Alexander's POV It is 10 in the morning. She hasn't waken up yet. I made her coffee and waiting in the living room while doing my work. I am afraid she will slip through if I don't pay attention. She has been avoiding me for the past few days and I am damn sure it has everything to do with Amy. Her eyes aren't completely recovered from yesterday's venting of emotions. They are still swollen. That doesn't matter anyway. She looked like a freshly bloomed flower today. I smiled looking at her while placing the file on the table immediately. "Do you have a good sleep?" She blushed thinking of yesterday's night when we kissed until our lips hurt,until we could not breath,until the touch itself became painful. I must say,my lips are swollen too. So is her lips. Neither of us thought of sex that time. It was just an i

Celia's POV As much as he feels uncomfortable,I find it funny and constantly laughing watching his face. We three are sitting before the TV watching rhymes. Especially, the 'Old McDonald had a farm' and 'Five little ducks' which are both little Cayden's favourite. I think it's the twenty fifth time listening to those rhymes and Alexander already became pale. "How the hell did he got all kind of animals at one farm?" He commented. He would say, "The dog, cats, cows, sheep, ducks, chickens and what not. Why don't you raise a lion and a wolf too, Mr.Mcdonald ? " Until today, everything happened in our lives silently,yeah, there are moans and heavy breaths. Since we started to talk, I find everything so funny. Being with him is fun. I am really impressed by th

Celia's POV I was sitting in the bottom of a stupid slide looking at the large room in front of me while Alexander descended from the hole just like I did. He reached the bottom with such a force that I fell on to the ground with a thud. "Oops! " He says muffling a laugh. I blew the hair on my face in frustration. "What are you, five?" " There is no rule such as only kids of age five should slide. " He got up gave him his hand and I took it as a support to stand. There are red colour stains that looks not lesser than blood on the white floor that almost scared me to death. "What do you keep here? Dead bodies?" "Sorry about that mess. I was in a hurry and I didn't get to clean that last time. " He explained showin

Celia's POV He is riveted on me for a very long time as if he find my eyes so interesting. The long stare contained a glimpse of admiration or am I imagining things? When I tried to avert my eyes which his intense gaze held, he pulled me closer by waist. He took my hand in his other large hand and made me touch his cheek with my finger tips, something I did when I woke up from a nightmare. Then he laid my full palm on the side of his face. He closes his taking a deep breath. "This is for real. " He mumbled as if the whole thing that is happening in our life is once an impossible thing. The yellow colour on my hands now made a print on his cheeks. I smiled watching his guards down. It became painful when he simply stared at me again and took no further step especially when things are heating up. I placed my hands on his bare chest drawing circles just to tease him. He pulled me more closer and yanked me up to me

Celia’s POV Things are not same anymore. I once told myself they there will be no chance I am going to leave my house and move in with someone else. And god decided otherwise. I am here lying on his chest thinking of what is going to happen to us and what exactly is happening to us. We are clearly not being just physical and now we have a bond by law. I am happy and calm, nothing is bothering me right now. The house rent, the bills, the maintenance and little things that makes you want to escape from the robotic life. My professional life is not that bad apart from Alex insisting me to take the admission for art school. I am still rejecting the offer. I don't know. Nothing that makes me happy stayed for longer time in my life. If anyone came and ask what are we, I still have no answers. We never confessed that we love each other. Sometimes, it feels like we don't even have to confess. H
Last Updated : 2021-04-02Ruthless 45. Too much optimism kills
Celia's POV I felt a soft touch of his lips on my cheek. I moved slightly and adjusted myself into the comforter. He placed a kiss again on my forehead. I smiled inwardly, my eyes didn't really support to witness that mesmerizing sight. I woke up to the beam of rays directly hitting my face through the glass window. Rubbing my eyes,I tried to scan my surroundings. He is no where to find. The place next to me on the bed has no folds or no sign of his presence. Not even the scent. I could not distinguish what I felt is for real or a dream. As soon as I opened my phone, the first thing that caught me is the message from 'unknown' number. I don't know if I could ever give him a designation in my phone. "They require me in London for an emergency meeting. I will be back in three days. You were sleeping peacefully. I don't wanna wake you up. Call you once I
Last Updated : 2021-04-05Ruthless 46. Not bad after all
Celia's POV The entire night,all I have is images of two young men who played enough role in screwing my life. One is in the picture laughing with the woman I despise the most. The other is acting odd. What did he say to me? I am more than what he is making me to do? What does that supposed to mean? And why all of a sudden, he is acting like a queer fish? I did threaten him though,that won't stop him from spreading the news and the very thought of going to Willow Green while everyone starts to look at me like I am some gold digger and the vision of spotlights on me started to got me at sixes and sevens. As much as I was terrified to see the daylight tomorrow, it didn't stop me from waiting for his response for what was going on the media. The wait doesn't end it seems. &nb

Ruthless Epilogue
Celia’s POV THREE YEARS LATER “I still remember the thirty minutes speech Lillian gave that day.” Sasha and I are watching the wedding album. It’s Cayden who took that out and showing it to his little brother, Ron. Sasha and Xavier married six months after our marriage. They have a kid now. He is one and half year old. Zed and Lilly has a boy. He is two. We all meet every summer. And this summer, we are busy for Ryan and Meg’s wedding. Alex is with all the three kids, he raised his hand. “Then she said, do you have any idea how many bodies this hand pierced and counted each vein—” “They are kids, Alex. They can’t understand that.” Sasha shouted. Of course, he would not listen. He is continuing the story of how I threatened Jonathan. “I think I did a mistake making him god father for my children. He is completely spoiling them.” Xavier hissed. No matter what, the children refuse to stay away from him. Because, he gives them chocolates, won’t let them touch the book
Ruthless 111. The wedding
Celia’s POV It has been ten days since that proposal I did in the street of Gilbert town. I did only the proposal. Alexander has planned this grand destination wedding. We daily talk about it. Every time we talk about it, we will have an argument and we decide we don’t want any marriage at all. We end up shouting and then moaning on bed. At the night, we talk again. I never thought about what kind of wedding I will have. When they ask about dream wedding, I simply shrug. Even Alexander has no idea about it. We are two creatures who thought it would be impossible for us to get married in these lives and end up in marriage somehow. After a week, he fell silent. He hasn’t discussed about the wedding plans. Something is going on in their office. Even Xavier seemed distracted and busy. And one day, my bell rang and I opened the door just to find the two men in my family in blood. They are not bleeding like they are stabbed. There are wounds like someone punched them hardly. I qui
Ruthless 110. Euphoria
Alexander’s POV I thought they need some privacy, to put out their emotions for their best friend and brother. So, I left them for themselves for five minutes. Five minutes are all they are getting. He is intentionally trying to make me jealous. Fine, with me. I am not punching this man because I have a huge respect for his mom and his best friend. Still, I can’t help but glancing at the room once in a while or should I say, ten or twenty times in a minute. Bertha, (she insisted me to call her by name instead of Mrs. Bennett) came with a tray of cookies. Oh, god. Not again. I did a fake cry without her noticing me and took one cookie. If I don’t, she would take the trouble to put that directly into my mouth. I have eaten a lot since I came here, that my jaws are hurting from all the chewing they did. I am so tall, has a well built body and look like the man in his late twenties. But, she is treating me, in fact, she is treating all of us like seven year old kids.&nbs
Ruthless 109. The old home
Celia’s POV I was so habituated to seeing him in Black and greys and that too, they are sophisticatedly tailored shirts and suits. Now, watching him wear shorts, kaki or white T- shirts with half sleeves, loose shirts and printed trousers making me stare at him more often. They are making him look like a teenager. He knows that I have been staring at him. I didn’t try to shift my gaze when he caught me doing that. Its my right. I am confined to fit and flare crepe dresses. I can’t wear more. The climate is warm just like my life. “So, what are we going to do next?” There is a genuine interest in his voice with an added excitement. He looks careless, less worried and totally overjoyed about everything we have been doing. While we are walking, he attended few calls and that’s it. “Hakuna Matata.” He says. If that two words has a human form, it is Alexander King. I took the chance to go to a shop by excusing myself for washr
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
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 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 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 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
