0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart

Chapter 23: 10.5°Celsius



Chapter 23: 10.5°Celsius

I didn't wanted anyone to see me in such a vulnerable state...so here I was crying my heart out inside

the washroom cubicle...placing my hands on my mouth to silence my breaking sobs.

I know it has been long

I should accept the fact that he has moved on in life with Andrea

But I just can't.

I cannot see him finding comfort in someone else's arms

I just cannot see his smile at her like he used to smile at me.

Oh god please give me strength..

Strength to repent for my mistakes before breaking down.

Cleaning my face and washing away all tears and sadness I made my way out of the washroom like

nothing happened.

But what I saw was completely unexpected.

Gone was the wave of happiness. Instead everyone looked tensed with their eyes fixed on the led

screen.

The news was enough to shake the very floor under my feat

"....the breaking news of the minute is that in the latest Business rivalry we have MM industries as the

leader...the shares were reported to be 20% up within one trading day. Reaching it’s 52 week high...the

opening bid was the highest in 12 weeks and we all can guess the reason behind it.....yes you are

guessing right ..they have won the patent infringement case from AR industries ....clearing it's name in

the 10 year long case...this victory is evident in the shares...investors have again gained confidence in

MM after they managed to get 80 million $ compensation from none other than AR industries.....Mr

Alessandro Romano suffered the greatest loss of the decade with investors drawing out their money

and shares reaching their lowest....."

That was enough to make me take a step back and find where Alessandro was..

He must be devastated!!

He needs to be strong at this point...

I need to make sure he is alright... Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

I frantically searched for him

There he was sitting in his office with eyes fixed on a stationary point lost in his own thoughts...

Before I could open the door a guard stopped me .

"Sorry ma'am sir has ordered....no one is allowed to enter right now..."

I nodded and he returned...placing my hands on the glass wall overlooking his office....I kept staring at

him...

He looked so lost and vulnerable...

I hope I could help him...

Suddenly his lost eyes met mine through the glass and I stepped back.

Before I know he moved out of the office grabbed my wrist painfully and dragged me along

"Andr-"

He didn't let me complete...instead I was pushed harshly inside the elevator with him behind me.

As soon as the door dinged closed both my wrists were grabbed harshly and my head was slammed

on the elevator wall.

A throbbing pain entered my skull and for a second my vision became hazy.

His cold red eyes never looked so dangerous before

His intention never so unpredictable

And touch never so hateful before.

"Andro....pl...ease....why....are....yo-"

"You are a disgusting bi***...a fuc**** backstabber!! Sapphire Brown why the hell you have to ruin my

life every single time I get up!! Why you have to destroy my dreams...my ambitious...my life!!!Can't you

just leave me alone!!! Why...."

"Andro....please try to understand...I cannot forget you...you are my everything...I. Love you...."

"Love me....huh....love is a word that girls like you can never understand.... don't confuse lust with

love....you like my body...my status...my money....but you don't love me.....a girl like you can never love

anyone except herself!! "

"I know what I am feeling...I have lived with it for last 2 years.....if it wasn't your love....I would have died

many years before...you are my lifeline Andro....why don't you understand!"

"You don't destroy the person you love miss Sapphire"

What was he saying....I gave him a confused look and his next words made me hate myself more than

I ever did

"Don't give me these innocent eyes....you think I don't know how you got that deal....you think I don't

have cameras hidden in my book shelves...you think I don't know how you shamelessly stole my most

confidential file and gave it to that Bastard Henry!!............

Are you happy to finally destroy me!!

To watch me on my knees....as a failure!! To kill me !!"

His grip on my hands loosened and he stepped back placing his head on the wall behind and closing

his eyes..

I...

I did this?

That file .......?

Oh god what have I done!!

"Andro....I didn't knew...Henry.........he...said....it was a file....on some....old project....!!"

He laughed...

With his eyes yearning to cry his lips were smirking

His emotions were jumbled at such a vulnerable time

Unable to express anyone could see he was an emotional mess right now.

"You didn't know!! Oh wow!! What are you Sapphire 3 years that you didn't know!! You think I am a fool

who will buy your lies...if you have guts to deceive me...do have guts to accept it on my face as well..."

The lift dinged as we reached the ground floor

"If I had known I....would have never given him that file...I thought you

..will forgive me...if I got...you the deal...."

"Forgive you...? Listen this for once and for all Sapphire Brown because I don't like to repeat myself.....I

will never ever forgive you for what you did to me...you can cry,plead,...die begging for forgiveness but

Alessandro Romano has never before nor will ever forgive those who break his trust...and heart..."

"There is the door and I hope you will not waste you time anymore...you can go and live your life...but if

you are adamant with this impossible wish of yours to get forgiven....then let me remind you miss

Brown....I will no more hesitate to get my revenge on you which I am being generous enough for not

taking from you....because you also know if I come on taking my revenge you will regret the day you

stepped in my life...and the girl left after I had taken my revenge will be even more broken than I am...I

am refraining...don't let me question it...."

"Get lost...hope to never see you again!"

With this I was slightly pushed out of the elevator and slowly the door closed on me.
