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

Ruthless 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 47. More in love
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
Ruthless 48. Lust?
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 to……" "He has Brad
Ruthless 49. Breathe
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
Ruthless 50. New start
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 51. Things are happening quickly
Celia’s POV There is no way in the world; a man like Alexander King would look so cute while he actually ‘blushes.’ You heard me. He blushes burying his head in the crook of my neck in an apparent embarrassment. I laughed loudly. That’s what I did in the half of the time while we were making love or fucking hard. “So, every time when you said you wanted to make things work between us, you wanted to confess that you love me. But you are too shy to admit that?” He still can’t say that. He is too shy. We are still lying naked across the king sized bed. It’s in the middle of the process of reaching the pinnacle, he said those words, “Every time I wanted to do anything for you, I mean this and not the other way around.” “What do you mean by this?” “The thing you just confessed.”
Ruthless 52. Life is too good
Celia’s POV “I never saw you smoking except for one time, you were high then. Why do you always have that lighter in your back pocket?” He is sitting on the floor almost naked, the only piece of fabric he has is boxers. He leaned his head on the edge of the bed. I ruffled his hair, drawing circles, sometimes, playing with the flock, pulling them or running my fingers on his cheeks as I slept on my stomach on the bed, my naked body lied beneath the covers as I kept my face towards his. The perks of after sex are still flowing through both of our bodies. These days, I am having sex more times than I thought I would have in my entire life. The day, itself don’t seem to be complete, if I don’t be in his arms and don’t have him inside me. “That one time is one time thing. I usually don’t take weed unless my life has
Ruthless 53. My Knight
Celia’s POV I never believed when they said prince charms or knight in shining armors come to rescue from the eternal grief. I think, now I do. I have to pinch myself hardly so that I could wake up from the dream. But his tight grip is telling me that this is all so true, my wrist reddened with his hold. He casually dragged me out from the crowd while everyone looked at us flabbergasted. They literally opened their mouths in awe, their jaw dropped to the floor. I sat in the car quietly processing everything has just happened. If I am the old Celia, just the Celia from few months ago, I would have flipped the world upside down fighting Alexander for the drama he has created. Since, the old new me has already took its form, I was silently enjoying everything. Amanda has created stupid chaos again. She seizes whatever the occasion if it is to bully me. I still don’t understand her hatred for me. Maybe, som
