The Ruthless CEO

Realization Moment!

Hello my gorgeous readers! I hope you are all well and especially staying safe. I really pray that no one of you has been affected by the pandemic and you're all in safe hands.

You must be wondering why I was away for so long. Well, I didn't have the inspiration to write anymore. My grandmother, whom I loved so much passed away recently and I just couldn't take it. But now, I have taken a slight step and I have started to write again. I will, however, require all your support in this batter. Without you guys, I am nothing but with you by my side, I can conquer everything. Please be with me, this is my not so silent prayer. 

I love you all and enjoy the reading.

"Do you AvaGrace Wilson take Sebastian Salvestro as your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest dressed in white asked me and at that very moment I knew Sebastian was the one for me. At first there were doubts, whether will this marriage work or will he still love me the same way when I'm no longer young and beautiful but right now when I looked at the man who looked devastatingly gorgeous in this dark blue tuxedo who stared at me with nothing but love in his eyes, I knew there would be no turning back.

"Yes, I, AvaGrace Wilson take Sebastian Salvestro as my lawfully wedded husband". The moment I said those words, I felt strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to their warm body. How is this possible? Sebastian is in front of me, then who is hugging me and why am I snuggling closer to them?

Few seconds later, I felt that very same person kiss my head and smell my hair? What in the world is happening?

"Stop fidgeting around, amate. Go back to sleep." The soothing yet authoritative voice said. Go back to sleep! Oh my god! My eyes opened as fast as lightening and I turned around. To my great surprise, Sebastian was few centimeters away from me with his eyes closed and hair completely disheveled. He still looked devastatingly gorgeous though, even if he was asleep and when I looked around, his arms were completely secured around my tiny waist. I looked exactly like a lamb caught as a lion's prey, however, in this case, I felt completely safe in his arms. As if no one would hurt me, ever.

So this was a dream, I recalled. How can you be so stupid Ava, my subconscious snapped angrily at me!  She's right. How can I dream of a billionaire marrying such a stupid little girl like me?!

I can't deny though, this was probably one of my most beautiful dreams and I so wanted this to be true. I'm don't even know if by wanting something like this, I'm fooling myself.

Don't be naïve Ava! My subconscious came back, looking like an angry teacher. 

I chose to ignore her and took the glorious opportunity to look at this Greek God who was in my arms sleeping soundly like a baby. I admired all his features and I strongly believe that God made him with so much delicateness. Why couldn't he make me with such thoughts and precision as well? Why am I such a plain Jane?!

All the time admiring him one thought came to my mind. How long have I been asleep?

"One hour" Sebastian said aloud with his eyes closed while pulling me even more closer to him. Damn it! I spoke out loud again!

"Go back to sleep, mi amore. There's one more hour left until we reach Rome" he said placing his warm hand over my head and pulled me to his chest.

At this moment, I chose not to think about absolutely anything else and just went with the flow and closed my eyes. I don't think I'll ever get a moment like this again with the one I love in my arms. Shit! Did I just say love? Do I love him?

All these questions came to my mind like darts. These were once again unanswered questions because of these unclear scenarios in front of me. I, nonetheless, decided to just ignore all these questions and doubts and just closed my eyes only to relish the moment. As we say, live in the moment as next is the new now, isn't it?
