I searched almost every where I know at Santa Monica. He wasn’t there. He was just simply vanished like that. Didn’t he want to talk to me? Didn’t he want to know the reasons behind everything I did? Did he drew any conclusions on his own? Oh god, no. No. Please don’t 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 meRelated chapters
Ruthless 99. Tell the truths
Celia’s 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 don’t 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. “Are you going to pretend like I don’t exist? For how long?” He didn’t 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 haven’t 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. “Alex. Listen to me.” I bloc

Celia’s POV I watched him as he stood before the podium. Three mikes are arranged before him. “Mr. King?” Someone called and Alex turned to his left. Maybe that someone is at his left. “Have you gone for a trip to Los Padres National forest fifteen days back?” Alex nodded his head saying yes. “You went there accompanied by a Miss. Celia Davis?” He nod his head again. “So are you publicly accepting that you have been cheating on your wife.” He moves closer to his mike, “No. I don’t. For your kind information, we both are really on good terms.” I am sure people there will be exchanging dubious looks. They don’t 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
Last Updated : 2021-07-17Ruthless 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

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

Celia’s POV “No. To Sasha's.” 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. “Wait, you forgot. Our company –” 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, “We are going to Sasha so that she would bring a bucket of water to help us.” “Oh.” He nods his head hesitantly as if processing that. After few seconds, he quickly turned his head back. “Call fire engine. That would be simple. What? Wait. Are you even telling facts?” His eyes widened as he looked at me closely, “Celia?” I laughed in relief, “Congratulations on getting your senses back.” I mutter. He groaned looking at his surroundings and searched for Alex. Once, he found that his very smart brother is s
Last Updated : 2021-07-21Ruthless 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

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.

“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.

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
