"Ashton Reyes betrayed me," Sitting on a sofa, Zale was thoroughly hearing Alsher Hudson's each and every word."The alignment he had promised to do with me, he did it with someone else because for that bastard, nothing matters more than money and his own profit," Alsher Hudson stated, venomously. "Ashton Reyes can do anything for his own benefit and can betray anyone for getting more power in his hands," He knew about it very well, that Ashton Reyes was capable of trading his own self for profit. He could cross any level just to make himself more powerful. "But his only weakness is his daughter, Celia Reyes," That too Zale knew. Celia Reyes was her father's weakness. The only thing which would make that bastard, Ashton Reyes, tore into pieces and exactly for that reason, he was there."Have you ever met Celia Reyes?" He finally opened his mouth, desperate to get a positive response but Alsher shrugged his head."Celia Reyes, it's just a name for most of the people except Reyes's
She was eating ice cream while staring at all the strangers with her doe curious eyes but then he noticed a sad pout making its way on her face. He got closer to her and then sat beside her, gaining her attention towards him. Her face immediately lightened up whereas her pout left her face."Piggy," she said, happily. For the first time in his life, he felt like just her mere voice and the way she looked at him were capable of numbing his every kind of tension and worry. "I missed you," she again puckered her lips. He rolled his eyes and then noticed the ice cream smudged on the corner of her lips but he didn't say anything."Yeah..I can see how much you have missed me," he uttered, causing her frown. She shoved the spoon of ice cream inside her mouth."I am not lying. I missed you so much that I ate 5 bowls of ice cream in your remembrance," His eyes widened at her statement."You ate 5 bowls of ice cream?" He asked in utter disbelief. She bobbed her head and again filled her mout
The land had slipped under her feet. Her body froze as soon as Mr Alsher Hudson announced her and his name and by finding that spotlight on her. "Please, I request all the selected 4 couples to come on the stage and join us in this beautiful moment," The 3 couples went to the stage except her and him. "Mr and Mrs Alcazar, please come," Mrs Hudson said, smilingly.Cia trailed her eyes at him whose face betrayed no emotion. How could he behave so normally at something like this? They were not married then how could they take the wedding vows? This was wrong and irrational. It wasn't part of the plan and she wasn't going to do it at any cost.Finding him silent, she decided to take matters into her own hands."I apologise but we don't want to be a part of this," she opened her mouth and the smile from every face dropped except his who wasn't even smiling at the first place.A whisper started echoing in that hall that why a newly wedded couple was refusing to take their wedding vows aga
Next morning, he woke up and did his morning routine. He was wearing his coat when he heard a knock on his door. One of his maids was at the door, carrying his coffee. Where was she? He had given that responsibility to her then why she hadn't come? That was the first question which came to his head. He nodded at the maid. She stepped inside and placed his coffee on the table. He couldn't help but ask her that question."Where is Cia?" The maid lowered her eyes and answered"Mr Alcazar, Cia said she is not feeling well so she requested me to take your coffee to your room," He didn't say anything further and dismissed her. So she wasn't feeling well but last night she was completely alright then what had happened to her all of a sudden.Like any other normal day, he went to his work but today, he hadn't seen her even for once before leaving and that thing bothered him. "Yes, our men have caught him," Richard informed his boss, who was sitting on his chair."Did he say anything about
The night was engulfed with complete darkness. The streets and roads were reeking of a deadly silence. Her feet were proceeding further but they didn't know where their destination was. Tears were continuously staining her pale cheeks which were rolling down from her sapphire orbs because those words were consuming her entire being, abruptly.'Now I pronounce you both a lawfully wedded husband and wife,''You will have to marry him, whether you want it or not,'Her tears turned more vigorous as those statements constantly hitted on her head.'Ms. Cia, do you take Mr Zale Alcazar to be your lawfully wedded husband and promise to be with him till death do you part?''I do…' her own answer ruined her. Why did she say yes when she knew it was just a game for him? 'Just play along,' those words of his shivered her heart in pain. It meant nothing to him but just an act. That marriage was nothing but just a lie but for her, it wasn't. Marriage never was a game for her because for that rea
"Why did you do it?" His question was simple and short but she had no answer to it and her silence made him fist his palms.He stepped closer and then lowered his upper body to reach her face level."Why did you do it, Cia?" With his extremely lower voice, he uttered while gazing into her shimmering orbs but her lips continued to remain sealed.His fury made him blind. Her silence awoke that worst inside him which he had always tried to control in front of her but not anymore. He took out that gun from his pocket and then grabbed her neck.Shoving her against the mattress, he pressed that gun over her forehead while hovering over her."Don't even think about fucking playing with me, Cia," his relentless voice held a terrifying warning.Their gazes remained glued to each other. His grip around her neck tightened but her lips still didn't part."Tell me, why did you try to escape from me?" The desperation in his question turned more urgent but he got no reply. This made his inner monste
Her body completely went numb when she felt his lips pressing against hers. His giant body caged her fragile frame between him and the bed. His fingers gently caressed her exposed arms whereas his lips tasted that sweet softness of her plumps. He waited for her to push him away or to start struggling but she did no such things. He gripped her arms in a painful hold and sucked on her lower lip, harshly. She terribly shuddered beneath him but still didn't stop him which triggered him really badly. He pulled down her sleeves, entirely, revealing her cleavage and dug his teeth on her lips. This time, he hoped that she would stop him but she continued to remain silent and laid down beneath him like a statue. Pulling his head upward, he looked at her face where he saw her closed eyes which were continuously shedding tears. Her face had flushed. She was shivering, badly. It was clear she didn't want it then why wasn't she stopping him? Clenching his jaw, he got up from her and then g
The chair was swaying in a back and forth motion. The person sitting on it had such a barbaric aura that each and every man in front of him didn't dare to make eye contact with him. "Boss, Rebello has agreed to our deal. He is ready to let our men and our shipment enter into his territory," Richard said, looking at his boss who was sitting on his chair and was listening to everything but Richard could clearly sense that his attention was not on him. "So shall we order our men to proceed further? They are waiting for your command," Richard asked, hoping for his answer this time but he didn't say anything. He didn't even trail his eyes at him. Richard noticed him staring at his hand in which he was wearing a ring which he usually never wore. He could see his full attention was on that ring he was wearing. What so special about that ring that it had caught his full mind over it? It had never happened before. Richard knew his boss hated leniency in his work then why today he himself was
