The darkness of dusk had washed over the sky, causing the evening to turn darker. Nothing could be heard except the tackling of those heels walking on the cold floor. Those feet halted in front of that door which was slightly open. Pushing a bit, the owner of those feet opened the door wide and got inside. Those feet halted by watching those broken glass pieces on the floor and then that person's gaze proceeded further inside where it caught her unconscious body who was wrapped in her white wedding gown. Those feet trailed towards her direction and stopped beside her numb body but the thing that startled that person was those dark red and huge blood stains on her wedding gown. It looked like she had bleeded very badly and the wetness of those stains were making it easy to understand that she was still bleeding. Those eyes roamed everywhere and stopped at that jug of water on the table. Grabbing the jug, that person poured some water in her palm and kneeled down before her. Splashin
"Ask yourself this and you will get your answer that…is your hatred for Celia capable of taking over your love for Cia or not…." Violet answered him, filling his head with more questions. "Do you think Cia was betraying you all this time?" Now she started questioning him and he just heard her."Ask yourself this, all those moments you spent with her, are those moments really just a lie?" He gritted his teeth at her questions because he already knew his answer but found it difficult to accept."Ask yourself… that all this time, she was masking her hatred with her love? Have you ever felt like for once that her love for you is just a game of betrayal? That she was playing with your love?" Violet didn't restrain herself from shoving all those questions of her on him. He didn't part his lips."Ask yourself, that…was it really Celia Reyes all this time and not your Cia?" That question of her made him clench his palms and again twirled around."She was playing with me all this time. She
Those deep brown orbs were staring at her who was clad in a beautiful white gown. Her sapphire orbs were downcast as she was standing at the altar but the irony was she was not his bride of those brown orbs but someone else's. "Do you, Mr Blake Alcazar, take Miss Celia Reyes as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest's voice echoed, causing him to fist his palm and her heart to turn numb. "I do," A tear slipped from her eyes, hearing that person's answer who was standing in front of her and feeling those brown eyes penetrating her soul. "Do you, Miss Celia Reyes, take Mr Blake Alcazar as your lawfully wedded husband?" Those cavernous brown eyes turned predacious and her answer turned them voraciously vicious. "I do," Flicked opening her lashes, she woke up in cold dread. Her entire body was sweating. Her body was shivering. She took her trembling hands up and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her palm. Roaming her eyes everywhere around, she made sure it was just a dream
"He can protect you from Zale Alcazar like he did 3 years ago by saving you from him," Her father's words made her immediately recall that day where everything changed for her. That day which turned her life upside down. That day, when she was numbed with pain and was bleeding badly, that certain person helped her in escaping from that villa and she ran away from there because that person told her that Zale was planning on killing her and he was going to kill her at any moment because that was what he had been wanting all these years……..to kill Celia Reyes with no mercy.She was ready to surrender her life to him if that was what he wanted but when that person told her that she might be pregnant after watching her state and bleeding like that, she decided to escape with that hope inside her heart that her child might still be alive and she might be able to save it from worst by escaping from there because she could never let anyone to harm her child….not to even him….She escaped fro
As soon as Ashton left, a silence started prevailing in that hall. None of them said a single word whereas she didn't look at him but could clearly feel his eyes on her. She felt his footsteps approaching her and stopped after getting a bit closer to her, maintaining the descent distance between them. "It's finally good to meet you, Cia," his rough voice broke the silence whereas his words made her to fist her palm. "Celia…." She corrected him but without turning her face towards him. His brows furrowed. "My name is Celia," Hearing her, a smirk crept on his face. He took some more steps closer to her and stood in front of her. "But I have heard you liked getting called Cia?" He questioned but his question felt like a straight taunt. "I used to and only by my closed ones," she answered his question but didn't raise her head up to look at his face. His grin widened at her reply and he could clearly see she was trying to avoid looking at him. He shoved his hands inside his pocke
"This wedding gown will look best on you, Miss Reyes," Lucy uttered to her, smiling. The designers had come to their manor so that she could choose the best gown for her wedding with Blake which was tomorrow.Her father's happiness knew no limits after Blake told him that she agreed to marry him and he wanted this marriage as soon as possible because he didn't want any further delay which was Ashton's thoughts too as he wanted his daughter's safety so both the families agreed for that wedding date which Blake suggested.The preparations were going on for the wedding. The entire manor lightened up with not only beautiful lights and decorations but also with the smiles on everyone's face too except for the bride. She was staring at those dozens of wedding gowns hanging in front of her which the designers were showing to her."Miss Reyes, I think you should try this one. This will look perfect on you," the designer took out a milky white gown which was designed with shining stones and p
Her feet went numb whereas she felt like even the last drop of blood in her body froze by seeing that person in front of her. That person who had become a living nightmare for her from the past 3 years. That person who was haunting her even in her sleep. That person with whom her heart had fallen in love with more than her own self and that same exact person, who took everything of her away from her brutally. He was again standing in front of her, peering at her with those bloodthirsty dark eyes of his which were aching to see her stained in her own blood. In pure instinct, her feet immediately tried to walk backward but she had to halt them by feeling other men standing behind her. She roamed her eyes everywhere and found herself completely trapped and guarded. There was no way to escape for her. She again looked at him whose eyes were still on her. She opened her mouth to say something but before she could utter a single word, one among the men who were standing behind her, covere
"No need to think for my good, Celia Reyes because now I am going to do the worst with you," Her body trembled in terror at his words and at the way he said them to her. His fierce gaze was burning her being with it but it was not enough to melt that anger raging inside her. Not anymore…she wasn't afraid of facing any worse because he had already done the worst to her 3 years ago that night.She chuckled at him weakly, even when his palm was aggressively clutching her jaw and she was feeling its pain."What worse, Mr Alcazar?" She bluntly questioned him."Taking my life or something more brutal like raping me? Tell me, I want to know how far your worst can go?" She threw his exact words at him which he had said to her that day.Zale's jaw tightened whereas his grip turned more violent on her jaw."Tell me, Zale Alcazar. How worse can you become in order to hurt Celia Reyes? You were aching to kill her cruelly from the day you had threatened that 6 year old girl to kill her by looking
"Now before blowing the candles, make a wish, Zia," Zia smiled at her mother hearing her words and nodded. She closed her eyes slowly and made her wish. After that she opened her lashes and the very first thing her gaze caught was those green orbs staring at her because its owner was standing in front of her. She gawked at him through the fire of those burning candles. "Now blow the candles…." Cia's voice made her shrug and then she blew the candles. Everyone started clapping and wishing her whereas she grinned at everyone except that one person. She did her best to avoid his entire presence as much as possible because his mere presence was making her remember what had just happened between them just a while ago and she didn't want to remember it, not even in her dreams again because that was a living nightmare for her. "Once again, happy birthday," Zale fed her the cake to which she smiled and returned the gesture. Zia fed the cake to her parents and grandpa and then extended it t
A knock on the door grabbed the ladies' attention who were present inside Zia's room. They turned their heads and saw Zale standing at the door. Cia passed him a smile before siding away because she knew he was there to see how beautiful his little princess was looking in that dress which they both had selected for their daughter's birthday party. Zale looked at his child and immediately his smile turned more wide by watching Zia. He walked towards her and Zia wrapped her arms around her dad. "This dress is so beautiful, dad. Thank you so much for this," Zia uttered, smiling. Zale took out her face and planted a gentle peck on her head. "It's looking beautiful because my Zia has worn it," Zia giggled hearing her father. "Well…you can also compliment the other ladies present inside this room too, boss," Violet said, who was also there along with Zia's best friend, Riley. Zale chuckled and complimented them and then fixed his eyes on the love of his life, his wife…his Cia…. Cia'
"Happy birthday, Zia….," She slowly unlatched her dark black lashes hearing her parents' voice. She adjusted her sleepy vision to the light of the morning and a big smile crept on her pouty rosy lips by watching those two favourite faces of her life.She got up from the bed and opened her arms wide for both of them. With a smile, Zale and Cia hugged their daughter and kissed both sides of her temple."Happy birthday, Zia. Many many returns of the day, my child…." Zale spoke, caressing her light brown hair. Her alluring light blue eyes gleamed up in happiness."Thank you so much, dad…." She again hugged her father. His smile widened as he caged her back. His daughter was his life and the ultimate source of his happiness."Did you already forget about your mamma, Dad's princess?" The father-daughter duo pulled back and chuckled by hearing Cia. Zia stepped closer to her mother and embraced her."How can I forget about this beautiful face of my mamma. It's my everything," Zia said and p
"Careful, Cia….. " Zale uttered while watching his 9 months old pregnant wife who was playing with that kid, Damien. They both were chasing behind a butterfly in the garden of his manor. She was taking her steps slowly while holding the hand of Damien. They both were giggling which made Zale chuckle too. That kid had grown really close to both of them, especially Cia in these past 9 months. Once in a week, he always came to visit Cia with his father or sometimes even with his both parents during his weekend days. The Karlson family had also developed a very close relationship with Cia and Zale because of their elder son growing fondling towards Cia, Zale and their coming baby. "Oh… . No… it flew away… " The kid, Damien whined, watching that butterfly fly away from the flower. Cia chuckled at his tiny pout."We were not supposed to catch it, Damien," she caressed the boy's head who was pouting in anger."Because if we would have caught it then it might have turned very sad because it
"Damien Karlson," the little boy replied. Both Cia and Zale smiled at him. That boy had beautiful honey tanned skin and jet black hair. His eyes had the lightest shade of green which were twinkling like stars every time he smiled through his pearly white teeth. "Beautiful name and how old are you?" Cia asked, stroking his soft cheeks. The boy beamed in Zale's arms and answered. "I am five," "You didn't get hurt somewhere, did you?" Zale asked the boy in concern because that kid fell with a slight force and it was evident in that thudding sound of his falling. "No. I am fine, sir, " the boy shrugged his head while looking at Zale. "I am a brave boy. I don't cry," Zale chuckled at that kid's answer. Indeed that little being seemed brave. He patted his head. He didn't get very well with kids but this kid appeared to be different and he liked it. "Damien…" that voice grabbed the couple's attention and they saw Mr Karlson approaching them. "What are you doing here, Damien? Your mo
Soft and gentle blow of air was grazing against her face, making her golden strands of hair bounce in happiness. A small smile was playing over her lips as her azure eyes were staring at the beautiful horizon through her window. She closed her lashes and inhaled the fresh breeze of the evening which jolted her heart in content. She was enjoying the alluring sunset when she felt those arms wrapping around her waist from behind."I love you…." That raspily husky voice whispered in her ear and pecked below her ear tenderly. Her heart tingled, hearing that voice and feeling that touch. She wrapped her arms over his and leaned against his warm chest."I love you more," Her answer brought a beam to his face. He pecked her temple and embraced her more firmly. "So how was your day at work, Mr Alcazar?" She asked him, staring at the sky which had worn an enchanting shade of orange and slightly yellow. "Well…I attended some meetings, signed some papers, scolded some of my employees and miss
"Erya…?" Zale uttered, bewildered, by watching her there but he felt relaxed too as he thought she had come there to rescue them. She had come there with his men so that they could help them in standing against Blake's men but his relaxation turned into confusion when he felt Cia tightening her hold around his palm.He tilted his head and found her glaring at Erya with her glossy eyes. His brows wiggled in untidiness until he heard those words coming out from her mouth."Stay away from him, Erya…don't you dare to hurt him," Zale's eyes widened, hearing Cia. He couldn't understand what was happening there. Why would Erya want to hurt him when she had stood by him always? She worked for him then what exactly was wrong there?Cia gritted her teeth at Erya who was silently peering at both of them until now and then her gaze trailed towards Blake's lifeless body which made her fist her palms."So you succeeded in killing him,"Erya finally opened her mouth. Zale tossed his head to look at
Zale got back his consciousness which made him slowly unlatch his lashes. He opened his eyes and his gaze met with nothing except darkness. He blinked and tried to move but that was where a sharp pain engulfed almost each and every part of his body, especially his head and arm. He growled in pain and attempted to clutch his head but a sound of iron chains rustling echoed in that darkness, making him aware that his arms were tied with them so that he couldn't move. Clenching his jaw, Zale started wiggling in those chains aggressively when suddenly a dim light shot open, penetrating that voracious darkness. "So my dear cousin is finally awake,"That voice made Zale snap his head upward and his bloodshot eyes filled with a rapacious deadliness by watching the owner of that voice who stepped inside through the door.A cunning smirk was playing on Blake's face as he approached Zale whose wrists and legs were chained and the iron chains were attached to the walls. "I was waiting for you
"Drop your gun, Blake Alcazar….," That rapaciously cavernous voice roared, making Blake grit his teeth. After he and Ashton attacked Zale's main warehouse together, he found out that it was a trap to catch him in it. Zale and his guards were already aware of his attack and they were already prepared about it and not only this, Ashton and his men were playing with him too as they were all involved in Zale's plan of trapping him and betrayed him flawlessly. Zale, Ashton and their men guarded Blake and his men completely as they were more in number. "The game is over now, my dear cousin," Zale's predatory gaze met with Blake's furious ones for the first time in half a decade. Both the men were standing in front of each other after almost 5 years. The last encounter they had with each other was at one of the hideouts of Blake's where Zale invaded his territory and killed each and every man of his there on spot because he got the information that Blake was planning on attacking him and
