The clouds were aggressively roaring. The wind was blowing vigorously whereas the loud sound of the rain falling muffled her screams and whimpers. "Leave my hand. Leave me," her voice echoed against the invisible walls of the abrupt air. The darkness of the night had turned more inky. She screamed and tried to part her wrist from that harsh hold which was dragging her. "Leave me,"her throat started hurting with her screams until she saw herself getting forcefully shoved inside a door. She fell on the bare floor but then snapped her sapphire glossy eyes at that burly figure. She didn't know where he had taken her. It looked like some kind of wooden house in the middle of the forest. How did he know about a place like this? Her jaw tightened by finding herself in that barbaric presence. She got up on her feet and yelled. "I said let me go, Zale Alcazar," A cavernous darkness emerged in those viciously brown eyes at her words. She tried to walk past him but he grabbed her waist
Next morning, Zale and Cia came back to the villa. It was their wedding day. They both talked about it last night and she understood her mistake that she was trying to judge him through his past when she wasn't even its part and she could never let any kind of past destroy their present and upcoming future, whether it was his or her past.He asked her if she wanted to delay their marriage but she denied it and told him that she was more than ready to marry him once again and with no doubt. She loved him and that reason was enough."And why did you tell her about our past, Erya?" Zale's darkened gaze was shoving daggers at Erya's eyes. After taking Cia back to the villa, he straight called for Erya because he understood who had told her those things and he needed to know with what intentions."I didn't tell her anything, Zale. Cia overheard mine and Violet's conversation and then came to her conclusion on her own," the fear was evident in Erya's gaze because she knew him better than to
Richard was running his car on the road as fast as possible. He knew he needed to reach Zale before it became too late. What that man told him had startled him to his core. Cia was that person whom Zale was searching for all these years like an insane but the question here was, why did she lie to him? Was she playing with Zale? Was she faking her love for him? This marriage, everything was just a game but it didn't look like it. She looked too innocent to have such a cunning and wicked mind but he had lived his life enough to understand that most innocent faces hid the darkest sins behind them. His head was a mess. He knew Zale would be broken after knowing this but he had to know about this because Zale's security and safety was Richard's main priority and right now, Cia was like a threat hanging on his head and he couldn't let anything happen to his boss. He was working for Zale and with Zale from the day Zale had lost his little sister, Zoey. He was like his bodyguard. He was too f
Zale hurriedly got out of his car, followed by Erya and his men but Zale's eyes widened in terror by watching that scenario in front of him. Richard was completely stained in his own blood and was badly injured and bleeding. Some of his men were trying to wake him up.Zale dashed towards him."How the fuck did this happen to him?" He snarled, kneeling down before him. Zale noticed that Richard's breathing had almost slowed down."Take him to the hospital right now," he clutched Richard's hand in his and helped his guards in picking him up. They immediately settled him in the car and they took him to the nearest hospital."His condition is really very critical and the chances of patience's survival are very low," the doctor informed, making Zale extremely worried."Do everything possible to save his life," he uttered, desperate. The doctor sighed before answering."We are trying, Mr Alcazar but the patient has lost a lot of blood and his body has gotten very severe and internal injurie
"Kill me, Celia Reyes," Those words of his widened her eyes. Her entire body got deprived of any kind of sensation. She looked at him startled. Her aghast reaction made him slightly tilt his head. His cavernous eyes turned more predatory. She felt like she was seeing a total stranger in front of her. He wasn't feeling like that man anymore whom she had fallen in love with. "Where did I go wrong? You want to kill me or you're Celia Reyes?" He questioned, gawking into her eyes. Her heart started throbbing inside her chest in terror. Her eyes moistened more. Taking a step closer to her, he gripped her both arms in a painful grip. It was so harsh that she felt like he was trying to penetrate her skin with his fingers. He dug his nails in her flesh, making her hiss. "Tell me, Ci… My bad…. Celia…" his mouth took that name like it was venom for his tongue. She couldn't understand what had gotten into him so badly. "Zae….I…." She terribly flinched when he raised his palm. She shut her ey
"ENOUGH…Zale Alcazar…." Her yelling shut him up. Her eyes threw daggers at him which now were burning with tears of anger and pain."You are accusing me and saying such things about me just because I didn't tell you my real identity, right but let me tell you one thing," she snapped at him, glaring."It was you because of whom I had to hide my real identity from everyone. It was you because of whom I was not even allowed to tell anyone my real name. It was because of you, I was not even allowed to step out of my room. Throughout my life, I was caged, trapped in four walls just because of you, Zale Alcazar…only because of you," the tears in her eyes were so harsh that they reddened her eyes."Because you are a monster, a pathetic monster who threatened to kill a 6 years old child who didn't even know what she had done to you, that you are wanting to end her life and you are questioning me. Before questioning me, ask yourself what I had done to you that you ruined my entire life so har
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
"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
