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... Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.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.
