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

Celiaâs 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

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

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

Celia's POV The atmosphere around me is oddly cool and we both are painfully silent. As the cool breeze kissed my skin, I wanted to snuggle in his wide chest. Since he stretched his arm to wrap it around my shoulder, his entire body now look not less than a soft mattress, although it is not that soft. But I know,if I lie on his chest, I will feel safe, and secured for sure. For some reason,I could not get myself to do that. I am fidgeting to decide whether I should do it or not. As if he read my mind, he pulled me closer by the hand he wrapped around my shoulder and made my head lay on his chest. His hand is still around me. He brings the other hand to caress my cheek. I didn't waste another second to hold him by wrapping my hand around his stomach. "It killed me to see you like that. " He whispered in my ears drawing circles on my cheek with his thum

Celia's POV "Celia, are you paying attention?" "Dr. Celia?" "Celia?" Someone shook my shoulder gently. "Celia?" I suddenly came out of daze I have been overwhelmed with till now. "Yes?" Everyone around me are watching bewildered. The chief surgeon, (we call him chief, 'cause he usually commands rather than explain), the head of our team, Garrett, Lillian and other junior doctors. "Are you paying attention?" The chief questioned with a little serious tone. Of course,he has to. We are talking about lives here. "Yes. The patient has arrhythmia. His heart is beating more rapidly than normal rate and we have toâŠâŠ" "He has Brad

Celia's POV If my brain is another living being with the potential to harm, it would have crushed me into pieces. For three years, I have not thought of any other things except work and home. Now I am doing both but thinking, precisely, I must say overthinking. He could've just confessed that he loves me and I wouldn't be messing with my head right now. I am too preoccupied with the word lust. What if it is true, what if he is lying, what if he leaves when he is tired of fucking me, and the list of questions proceeded by what-ifs goes on. The ding sound of the elevator made me want to cringe. I've been doing a lot of talking to myself that the person who just entered could easily notice that by seeing right through me. I didn't lift my head out of mere embarrassment. My eyes caught the finely polished shoes that would cost a great deal. The elevator door closed. The person has not pressed any button. He is still standing facing me. Something about

Celia's POV "Celia? What are you doing here? Lillian has called. She said you suddenly vanished from the hospital. Alexander told you were with him. When I asked he said you were sleeping. How come you are here? Did something happen? You look pale." The word worry is written all over Sasha's face. She could hardly breathe after all those questions. "I passed out." "What?" Her hand rested on her chest with a sudden gasp. She cupped my face-scanning it to read my feeling. "Sit down. When was the last time it happened? Two and a half year ago." Just like me, she recalled those incidents when I used to have panic attacks and all sorts of sicknesses. "What happened?" She breathes taking my hands in her. "I saw Christopher." Her eyes could no longer mask the terror. "Did he tried anything to do? You alright? What does he want?" Sasha started to check my body searching for any possible scars. " I don't know what he wants. I don't think

Ruthless   Epilogue
Celiaâs POV THREE YEARS LATER âI still remember the thirty minutes speech Lillian gave that day.â Sasha and I are watching the wedding album. Itâs 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 Megâs wedding. Alex is with all the three kids, he raised his hand. âThen she said, do you have any idea how many bodies this hand pierced and counted each veinââ âThey are kids, Alex. They canât understand that.â Sasha shouted. Of course, he would not listen. He is continuing the story of how I threatened Jonathan. âI think I did a mistake making him god father for my children. He is completely spoiling them.â Xavier hissed. No matter what, the children refuse to stay away from him. Because, he gives them chocolates, wonât let them touch the book
Ruthless   111. The wedding
Celiaâs 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 donât 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 hasnât 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
Alexanderâs 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 canât 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 donât, 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
Celiaâs 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 didnât try to shift my gaze when he caught me doing that. Its my right. I am confined to fit and flare crepe dresses. I canât wear more. The climate is warm just like my life. âSo, what are we going to do next?â 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 thatâs it. âHakuna Matata.â 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
Alexanderâs POV I know this feeling of drawing someoneâs 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
âNo.â 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. âI never saw you like that.â 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. âItâs her. It's always have been her. I wasnât good to her. I abused her. But, she didnât 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 doesnât whine and complain. All she wants is me. Thatâs 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 isnât for her, I canât 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.â âI 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
