61. Baby
Celia's POV
I never thought I would be the girl who would be excited to receive an extraordinary proposal, waiting for roses, candles and whatever boring things they would keep for the date. I am on cloud nine since I saw him at shop. He bought me a godamnn ring. He is going to propose me. I remember how he asked me to marry him saying that is what a hero does after a long speech. He is too particular when it comes to these things, I wonder, if he would ask me to marry him in a language I don't know saying that he didn't like that in English. He is surely that kind of person.Chirping like a bird, jumping like a kid, grinning like an idiot, I reached our home. I am immediately dissappointed when all I find is our usual home with silence and with absolutely nothing that relates to surprise. You are being cheesy, Celia. Just because he bought the ring today, doesn't mean he would propose

Ruthless 62. Gone for a week
Celia's POV "Marriage for them will have nothing to do with heart. They marry for power, for more money, for more strength, for status and for society. I understand that you trust him. But it is too soon to do something like this. They are different people, Celia. Always remember, we are common men." I opened my eyes suddenly with a gasp. What the hell is this dream? I literally hate all my dreams. They worry me too much. I continuosly heard Garratt's words and then Alexander left my hand and disappeared in my dream. I trust him with everything,but my brian is too much. It has been dreaming all the bad due to the sudden change of events. "Argh!" I groaned in frustration. I closed my eyes again putting all my thoughts away spreading my hand on the soft and cold mattress. I move it to and fro searching for the feel of warmth. My eyes snap opened when I realised that he is not beside me. I am lying alone on our bed. Last time, when I remember, I slept o
Ruthless 63. Something Dread
Celia’s POV Lillian has pulled me back to embrace me into a tight hug for a few good minutes, her mouth let out a shrill cry of joy. She pulled herself back again letting me give the sight of her vibrant face beaming with what looks like the joy of whole world. She raised her palm, turned it so that I could look at the ring I helped in selecting. The centre stone is shining brightly like a sun with two of the side stones did the best to make the ring as beautiful as the lady standing before me. She squealed again this time accompanying me. I hugged her jumping like a kid. The proposal has already happen and for split of a second, my stomach felt icky thinking how mine was postponed. Gosh. I am envious of her a little. She jumped still holding her hand up. “He proposed yesterday. Told me that you helped in selection and yeah, I got the information too. Where is yours?” She questioned excitingly. “Not yet.” I smiled awkwardly. “Something happened, something that nee
Ruthless 64. Betrayed
Celia's POV Maybe it is his plan, to surprise me by getting on my nerves. If I know him well, things like this amuse him a lot. I still remember the day when he was standing outside the operation theatre, how his eyes spill dread when he caught the sight of me in blood stained clothes, how he dropped his coat, how he scooted to take me in his arms. I am expecting him at the end of the every turn I took, outside the every room I go in. Maybe this is a joke which has worn me out a lot more than it should. He bought a ring, didn't he? He is definitely up to something. These are the things I said to myself to keep myself worry free. Then it came, the Monday. And he isn't here yet. When I entered the hospital, everyone looked at me like they are looking at something so cheap. And there she is, Amanda with a smirk on her face while some held scowl, some are scoffing. Like always, I ignored them and went straight to change my d
Ruthless 65. He left
Celia’s POV I ran back to Elijah’s house before I get in Sasha’s car. He doesn’t look surprised but concerned. “Please let me talk to him for once. I don’t have his number.” He stared for a brief moment of time and went back into his house, probably to fetch his phone. When he came back, he is already on line with the other man. That other man is the man I love whom people are mistaking that he has married Amy, the girl who ruined my life. My hand shivered when I took the phone and keep it at my ear. I hold it with my two hands to stop myself from trembling. This should be a lie. There is a killing silence. I heard him taking a breath. “I have to do this.” He finally said. “Why, Alex?” I questioned biting my lips so hard that I wonder they didn’t bleed yet. “Because, that’s what I want. Look Celia, having you
Ruthless 66. Nightmares
Celia’s POV “I warned you, didn’t I?” Garratt said with a wicked smile. He doesn’t even have to utter any word. His face held the expression ‘I told you so.’ I wrapped my hands around myself when I walk through the aisle crossing the people who are looking at me with disgust. Amanda crashed into me on purpose making all my books to fall on the ground. All the papers inside scattered to a distant place where there is no light. I could hear her scoff, “You really thought you could reach your dreams?” She said mockingly. I ran after the papers into a cloud of fog trying to grab them. All the papers soon disappeared into thin air and a silhouette of a man stood before me. He is tall, his hands are shoved into his pocket. I walked slowly to him half expecting who he might be. He raised his hand, a paint brush moving between his long fingers. It’s him. He is here. The tip of the brush g
Ruthless 67. They left me too
Celia’s POV “I know why you don’t want to get rid of it. No one knows better than me. When I had Cayden in my womb, I was so stern to bring him to this world.” Sasha said running her hand in her kid’s hair who is sleeping soundlessly. “He really changed our lives, didn’t he?” It is the first ever statement I spoke to her on this entire day. I have become a mute again. “He did. He is a boon. But, Celia, raising a kid isn’t easy, not when we couldn’t look after ourselves. We are humans too. When you are going for checkups on your own, when you are hearing his heart beats, you will carve for love too. You will crave affection, care and you will crave for his father. It is so difficult to handle those things because you will have severe mood swings. I want you to decide what you are capable of before it’s too late. No matter whatever your decision is, I’ll be there for you; always.” &nbs
Ruthless 68. Where is Alexander?
Celia’s POV “Go to art school. Didn’t I tell you that I would be there for you no matter what? Celia, you don’t have to punish yourself. I said I’ll take care of you. I will.” Xavier said taking my flushed face in his hands. I still remember his words from last time, “If anything happens to you or you need any help, I wanted you to know that you can come to me. Even if it is your husband who hurts you, you come to me. I’ll be there, always.” Its funny how the brother of the man I loved hasn’t changed a bit, but the man I loved just vary like seasons. But now, when I think about it, I couldn’t get myself to ask him for any help. “I don’t want to go back there. It’s a shattered dream. I can’t.” I said. Little one stands beside him watching all of us in oblivion. Our bags are packed. Zed, Lillian and I are leaving to Los Angeles tod
Ruthless 69. Speck of stardust
Celia’s POV Looking at the waves that are rising above to the heights as if they are trying to reach sky at some attempt, sat a girl with no soul, her mind is now void. That girl is me. All I could think of is the water. The deep blue ocean is sometimes calm bestowing the greatest peace one could ever afford, and sometimes, its tides are agitated, as if they are waging war against someone or something. Sometimes, the water looks like dancing to the dull roaring tune of wind that is travelling over the surface of the ocean as though it is happy to reach the land after a long journey through mountains, rocks and valleys. Sometimes, it is so silent. It is apparently not the serene but there is veiled sadness in the air. And sometimes, it is wild and ferocious threatening every cell. For one month, I did nothing but stare at the ocean. When I was before it, I don’t think about anything at all
