93. Move on
Celia's POV
It was one of those wonderful evenings when Alex and I were discussing about little one. "I like him a lot." Alex said happily while chewing on his steak. "I thought you don't like children." I asked as I picked up my fork. "Why would you ask that?" He questioned bewildered. "Because, you always make sure we use protection and all. Not that I am ready for children. I am just saying." I replied shrugging. "Oh." His shoulder fell back onto his chair, "I want you to have a career first in something you like to do." He emphasized on the last two words. I remember that entire day evey well because we laughed a lot and I almost felt like we had a future. Now, I am doing that something I liked a lot. It is not helping in keeping my thoughts away from him since I have been sketching his eyes, his hands when he holds little one's and

Celiaâs POV âSo.â Lillianâs fingers are tapping on her cheeks as she holds her face in her hand, her elbows rested on her knees. She is sitting on a stool beside me as I continued drawing. She asked me what exactly has happened in her absence for tenth time. I didnât got the heart to tell it even for the second time. She herself, reminds what happened and talks out giving her own conclusions which vary from time to time. I donât know what conclusion she made this time. âSo.â She says again, âAlexander is not the hero who left his dear wife for the sake of someoneâs life or his company. Thatâs what happens in most movies and novels. He got into an accident. He doesnât give a shit even the world collapses. He wonât just leave you like that.â That is so true. And she telling that out loud, is making nothing but another damage, another rip and another piercing in my cuts. âDo you really think th
Ruthless   95. Together
Alexander's POV I felt so low at the thought of kissing her. I am sure I felt it was her. Her skin was so soft beneath my thumb when I traced across her cheeks. I brushed the strands across her beautiful face as I lowered my head to touch those lips. She immediately moaned just with a slight touch and I knew that she wasn't Celia. She won't moan like that. The thing I know about her that is so true is that she whimpers at the loss of touch, and doesn't fake a single moan. I jerked my body away from whatever the creature that approached me. "It's fine." She said trying to touch me with her long delicate fingers. "Amy? I thought you were- shit. I am sorry. It wasn't intentional." I have not noticed how her visage grew, whether is she angry or sad and I don't give a damn either. I heard her releasing an exasperated breath. I was drunk. I was not in my right mind and I didn't feel so sorry for Amy but for whom I thought she was, for Celia. There is no way, I can see her
Ruthless   96. Fight
Celia's POV I searched almost every where I know at Santa Monica. He wasnât there. He was just simply vanished like that. Didnât he want to talk to me? Didnât he want to know the reasons behind everything I did? Did he drew any conclusions on his own? Oh god, no. No. Please donât let him. Why did he came in the first place? I thought of hundred reasons. Is he on his regular stalking duty?But, he has an important meeting tomorrow. He wouldn't just leave that after everything happened. Right when I wanted to seek him, he came and disappeared. Shit. I wish my mind works faster these days. I got on the next flight to New York. Xavier has told me his password. And there is another news. Alex attended the meeting with Amy. What kind of shitty decision is that? Are they together now? No. It can't be. I paced in the house I have got in after these many months. I have many memories within these walls. I determined to make many more, if only, he listens to me
Ruthless   99. Tell the truths
Celiaâs POV What kind of man stays in shower for one hour? He did. My patience started to weary off. He came out wiping off his wet hair with his towel. He is in his robe and I donât like that really. When he is care free he would walk out being just in his towel or there are times when he came out naked. What does he even thinking? That I would rape him? Good, gracious. He walked to take his clothed that were placed on the bed earlier. âAre you going to pretend like I donât exist? For how long?â He didnât answer as he wears his pant with his robe still on. Then he took that off, his skin is wet with the water droplets here and there. He smells fresh and I smell like crap. I havenât had shower ever since I got on the flight. He wore his shirt with less effort and started to walk towards the door. This silent torture brought those tears I buried inside back. âAlex. Listen to me.â I bloc
Ruthless   100. The press meet
Celiaâs POV I watched him as he stood before the podium. Three mikes are arranged before him. âMr. King?â Someone called and Alex turned to his left. Maybe that someone is at his left. âHave you gone for a trip to Los Padres National forest fifteen days back?â Alex nodded his head saying yes. âYou went there accompanied by a Miss. Celia Davis?â He nod his head again. âSo are you publicly accepting that you have been cheating on your wife.â He moves closer to his mike, âNo. I donât. For your kind information, we both are really on good terms.â I am sure people there will be exchanging dubious looks. They donât know that he is referring to me while they are talking about Amy. Why the hell does he have to play like this? If he had just said everything on the beginning, there will be lesser confusion and mo
Ruthless   101. Threats
Celia’s POV Like Xavier expected, not many people liked or it believed the way Alex explained things. Some said, exactly why do we have witness such a nuisance? While Alex murmured exactly why do you cared when you think it as a nuisance. Fair enough. His employees are pretty much impressed. ‘Oh! We know her before. My colleague and I had a bet that they both were married and didn’t just make it official.’ A girl who works at his company commented. The why didn’t you say it before? “Finally. I was afraid that they were separated. So, this is the story. For Celia and Alex,” This particular comment is from Garratt Green. This is the only comment for which Alex frowned even though it is a positive one. He didn’t give even a fleeting glance at other comments and views like Xavier did. Obviously, he doesn’t care like he never did. Xavier’s decision puts him in a position where he has to pr
Ruthless   102. All good until --
Celia's POV "And I forgot," I turned to the man who is as white as his moustache. "Here is the contract. I want you you to put in words that you will never touch me or my family in any way." And he signed it without reading the full contents of it. I like how I am able to knock him down. This exactly how I used to be. Right when I was about to leave this man forever for good, I heard a muffle laugh. For a second, I thought it was Jonathan, but he is not even able to lift his finger. I turned back to look at him. He is as confused as I was. The sound came again. It is a combined chuckle and I am sure, we two are not the only persons here. The way to the bedroom has elegant cherry black silk curtains and they are moving. Jonathan gasped at the sight. It is the only sound he made after a lot of silence. They moved again like someone ruffled them. There came the two pairs of shoes when the curtain raised a bit. Jonathan fall back on to his couch. There are constant whispers like w

Celiaâs POV âNo. To Sasha's.â I told Elijah when he said he would take us home. I am not handling these two morons on my own. Xavier sat next to Elijah in the front seat. He turned back at my words. âWait, you forgot. Our company ââ An annoyed breath escaped my mouth automatically. I think, it is the twenty eighth time, I am doing this after I caught these stupid brothers hiding behind the curtains. My lips twitched and I moved closer to him by bending my body, âWe are going to Sasha so that she would bring a bucket of water to help us.â âOh.â He nods his head hesitantly as if processing that. After few seconds, he quickly turned his head back. âCall fire engine. That would be simple. What? Wait. Are you even telling facts?â His eyes widened as he looked at me closely, âCelia?â I laughed in relief, âCongratulations on getting your senses back.â I mutter. He groaned looking at his surroundings and searched for Alex. Once, he found that his very smart brother is s
