0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart

Chapter 21: 11.5°Celsius

Fear was a small word... something similar to a heart attack shook me.

My eyes looked down to see the file lying near my feet.

I slipped it under the table with my foot but as soon as I looked back up

Andro was moving towards me

Next I know my back was pushed back on the table and a gasp left my lips.

His arms blocked me between him and the table.

I thought he will question my presence here in his office but he was angry about something else.

"How did you bloody managed to convince him?...how?"

His eyes were hate personified and his voice as deadly as a beast.

I remained silent...

"How did I not see this 2 years before...how was I so damn ignorant of your whoring ways....I must

admit it miss brown...you are beyond my expectations.."

"Convincing Henry takes more than a beautiful face and a sexy body. Which you lack in all

respects....so tell me miss Brown what did you do?"

"I....I... explained...him...the proposal....he like-"

"Don't you dare Fu**** lie to me Sapphire!!You think convincing someone takes 3 damn hours..huh?

And not to forget this stinking smoke smell which I can still smell from your clothes..."

"So tell me Sapphire...did you fuc*** sleep with him?"

His grip on my shoulder tightened making me squirm in pain

"Isn't that what you wanted me to do?"

My reply made him freeze at his spot...this is the truth and let's show him it crystal clear

"Didn't you send me to sleep with him!! Didn't you Mr Alessandro Rousso Romano??

You dare to send me to a Fu***** playboy to sell my body to him so that I can get a deal for you...I

never thought that you will be such a man Andro...."

"I loved you...and I still love my Andro...but you are not my Andro!!

You are not even a shell of a person my Andro was.....he would never send a girl to get raped by a

monster....he would kill a person who even touched his Saph....but you....you are not him...."

His grip on my shoulders loosened and he turned around from me not able to look at me.

"Mr Rousso I may have betrayed your trust...may have faked a lot of things...may have even lied to

you...but never did I wished anything bad for you....never did I enjoyed causing you any pain....I am not

a sadist like you..."

He turned around and grabbed my throat with so much force that my head was slammed on the table

behind and his legs blocked my lower body.

"Sadist....you call me a sadist when it was you who played thousand games with my heart....it was you

who made me loose my sanity for 1 whole year....when it was you who fuck** guys while I was finding

ways of ending myself..."

My eyes widened and no longer the pain on my neck mattered...

Ending himself....

The pain was still present in his eyes but now the only difference was that it was being lighted by

sparks of old wounds.

He was breaking from inside. I could see it but he will never accept it.

"You tried every weapon to kill me...to destroy the fun-loving happy Andro...to ruin not only him but

even his empire...but I survived...I survived with the hate I mustered for you. And this hate has no

reasons...no boundaries...and no regrets...."

His grip on my neck tightened and I nearly choked

His eyes are beholders of a monster...a monster who I have started to fear

"Don't blame me for hating you...for hurting you...or even selling you to that playboy Henry because

even you know you deserve every damn bit of it and even worse...."

He moved back and I held my neck coughing rigorously.

He stood there staring at me struggling in pain but he didn't moved forwards to help.

And why would he when he caused it in the first place.

When the coughs died down and my breathing returned to normal he was still there staring at me lying

at his feet at his mercy.

"Get up and leave now...you are wasting my time...."

Oh Andro....

Why each word that comes out of your lips deepens the crack in this already cracked mirror.

I was trying to build a bridge to reach your side but you keep on widening the gap....I don't know when

the crevice got turned into a rift and the rift into a valley...but I just fear that don't go that far that even

the longest of bridge can't connect our two broken Half's.

That I die from that same cliff trying to reach you...but you have already turned your back on me and Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

started your journey to the continentality of the plains with someone else's hands in yours...

While his back was on me..I managed to pick up the file 211 from under the table and while clutching it

to my chest made my way out of his office ...

This file was my last chance of forgiveness...and I will have it.

Don't you worry Andro...I will take away all this pain from you...I will relieve you of the pain that I have

caused.

Even if the mirror of my heart cracks ...I will still reflect you back the light that once you reflected me.
