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

"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

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

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

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
