0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart

Chapter 4: 22.5°Celsius

The next morning-

"Saph can you please take this to Sir's room? He will be up in a few minutes!"

Said one of my co worker in a very polite tone

"Sure"

I held the tray in my hands and made my way towards his room

I knocked on his door but there was no reply

What should I do??

Leave or enter??

But she said he is going to wake up in a few minutes

I pushed the door open slowly to make sure there is no creaking sound

He was peacefully sleeping on the bed

His spectacle still on and his laptop lying next to him.

He worked so hard

Managing conglomerate and concentric businesses requires skill ,patience and perseverance and I

always knew he had it in him.

Even though he was offered everything on a golden platter since birth still he worked hard to grow and

globalize his fathers empire instead of demolishing it.

I placed the tray on his side table and stood next to him staring at his beautiful face.

My hands twitched to touch him, to wake him up just like I used to do back then

But I knew I lost that right long ago

I gently removed his spectacles and placed them on the side table followed by his laptop.

I turned around to leave but

when I opened the door it accidentally made a loud noise.

I hoped it didn't wake him up but my hope died the next second

"Why were you here?"

I turned around to face him

"Andro...I came..-"

"What is your position here in this house miss Sapphire Brown?"

"A ...maid..'

I replied in a low voice

"So who the hell give you the right to call me Andro?

I am sir to you just like I am to everyone else here!"

I flinched under his high tone

"I ...am Sorry...Sir"

It felt so weird to call him that but it also made clear his relation with me

That of a boss and a mere servant

"So..Why are you here?"

".Your ..morning..Tea...Sir"

He looked at the tray next to him

I stood there looking at my flats waiting for his next command.

"I am having a special guest for next few days, make all the necessary arrangements ,she is special so

no mistakes will be tolerated, make sure her demands are satisfied...Also clean up the other side of my

wardrobe as she will be staying here in my room with me"

On hearing this I looked up immediately to see him busy on his phone.

He didn't even looked at me to see how this new found information affecting me.

He was not lying when he said he found my replacement

I felt envious of her even before seeing her.

And why wouldn't I when she had the only thing I wanted

Him

I managed to reply in a broken voice

"Ok..ay.....Sir"

I marched out of the room at full speed not able accept the truth that he had actually moved on in life.

I reached the kitchen and told Maria about the arrival of our new guest

"Aah that must be Miss Andrea Stone....I really missed her...she Is coming after so long..... I am so

excited!! Let's hurry up and start the preparations!!

We have to cook her favourite food...Roses...she loves Roses we need to order bouquet of roses.....Ari

you go and order them.....and remove hazelnuts from the kitchen ..she is allergic to it...hurry

everyone.."

I love hazelnuts and she is allergic to it, how ironic.

But who is she to him

Everyone was busy in preparations, she was just a guest why are they all going over the board for her

arrival.

I asked a co worker

"Ari..who is she..I mean Andrea Stone...what is so special about her?"

"Are you crazy Saph?? You don't know!! Don't you read newspapers and magazines??

She is THE Stone

Stones own more than half of London

Miss Andrea and Sir Alessandro are dating since last 6 months and she stayed here multiple times

when she came to New York

She is such a lovely person!! You will definitely like her!!She is so polite and caring!! This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

No one knows they are dating. It’s a secret only those who live here know...

So don't tell anyone..okay??"

.

.

"Don' t worry I won't"

I said burning with the fire of jealousy

Jealousy is only experienced when you love someone and claim them as yours.

It is not a bad thing but because we forget our limits it turns bad.

I love Andro with the same intensity my heart burned with jealousy.

Such is the path of love which makes you loose your sanity at once.

I lost it years back when I decided to harm myself to seek repentance of the pain I caused him

One question still lingered in my mind which will answer all my questions

"Does..She ..stay in sir's room? Because he asked me to clean it?"

"Of_course she does after all she is his fiancé "

As those words left her lips my hopes shattered into million pieces like my broken heart.

His... Fiancé

He is getting married....

I turned around and locked myself in the washroom

Endless tears flowed through my eyes depicting my state inside.

He was not lying...

He replaced me with a girl much better than me

She was more wealthy ,more beautiful, more loving, caring ...

In every aspect she was better than me..

Even the workers were praising her.

She must be much better than me.

No one ever praised me in my life except Andro

But everyone praises her.

Alessandro has moved on in his life

He has long forgotten me

And he was right

This world forgets people like me

They always do

After all I was a dark piece of charcoalused as fuel everyday to meet daily needs while she is a shining

diamond worn rarely to flaunt beauty, elegance and wealth.

This piece of charcoal may have dirtied your hands with it ashes but it will also make sure to give you

light in the darkest of night.

I will always be there for you Andro

Always ....

You can forget me ..hate me...

But I will never stop loving you

I can never forget you Andro

You taught my heart what love is and it will not stop loving you till it stops beating.
