0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 2

Next his heavy footsteps could be heard.

My heart missed a heartbeat.

Beads of sweat started forming on my forehead and my stomach churned from inside.

"Yes S...ir!! Coming Sir!!!"

Her voice held fear and it looked funny to see rude devil Maria stutter under his command.

"Where the hell is my black watch!!! How many times have I told you not to touch it!!!"

The black rolex watch with gold dial

How can I forget it

He loves it more than anything else as it was his grandfathers last gift to him.

I remember once he lost it at a community hall and we both stayed there whole night searching for it.

At last I found it at the men's washroom and he was so happy that he hugged and thanked me at least 10 times that day.

His footsteps stopped and I knew he was here.

I looked up to see him in black business trousers and sky blue shirt

His sleeved were folded up and the veins of his toned up arms were visible.

He searched around for Maria

He looked at the line of girls and didn't paid much attention.

He turned to look at the other side but then he stopped

He turned back around and his angry eyes directly met mine.

The anger in them got replaced by shock but he covered it up in a second.

He turned around and was met with worried looking Maria

"I....am...sorry Sir!! I 'll get it"

She literally ran at full speed to find the watch.

He turned around and went out not looking at me even once again.

I need to talk to him

I should follow him.

As Maria left no one was watching over us.

I slipped past the girls who were busy chatting.

His broad shoulders came in my view and I ran behind him screaming his name

'Andro....wait....!!..

.......Andro!!"

He was ignoring him like he ignored me that day.

I ran past him and blocked his way

"Please Andro at least listen to me once!!! Please!!"

He looked into my pleading eyes

His stare was no longer comforting or loving like before instead it was the one which could make a child piss his pants.

Next I know he harshly grabbed my wrist and pushed me inside a room , closing the door behind with a thud.

I was pushed into the room and I would have landed straight on the ground if the sofa hadn't broken my fall.

My wrist felt like burning from his tight grip

I could see red handprint on my wrist

I held my right wrist with my left hand trying to soothe the burning pain.

His eyes held no remorse ,no guilt

Nothing except anger

"Speak"

Was the only word he spoke but on hearing the hate in them I forgot all the words of forgiveness I formed in my head, I forgot all apologies I had in line for him

"I......I....just...........I Just wa...nt Forgiveness.....I know what I did ...back then was wrong.....I was wrong....I was selfish....I lied.....I broke your trust...I broke your heart...

You were never wrong Andro..you were always loyal ...but I was not..

I am really sorry for what all I did...

...."

He laughed

Yes he laughed at me mocking my pure intention and apology.

"What happened to the money I gave you Sapphire?? You spent it all didn't you? And now when you need more you are again back here...begging for forgiveness so that I believe your white lies and trust you again.

You thought why not ask for forgiveness, mend his broken heart and marry him....

By this I will never fell short of money

Andro is so madly in love with me that I will play him on my fingers and he will not even know .."

He took dangerous steps towards me

I continued to shake my head in a no telling him that he is getting me wrong.

" I will toy with his feelings just like I did before"

He was too close to me..his eyes had so much hate that I wanted to hide from his eyes forever

"No Andro...you are getting me wrong!"

"No Sapphire this is the first time I am getting you right.....

You are what you were 2 years back .

A bloody gold digger!!"

He turned around to leave but I was fast to stop him

I gripped his left arm with both my arms making him stop

"I will do anything for your forgiveness....just Please give me a chance......I...I Can't live without you Andro......just Please...."

Teardrops escaped my eyes and landed on his arm

"Fool me once shame on you Sapphire but fool me twice shame on me, Your tears can't fool me any longer "

He looked at my hand on his arm and he made a face of disgust like he despises my touch.

"Leave my arm Sapphire!"

I refused

"I have changed Andro...when I left you I realized how much you meant to me....just Please give me a chance to show how sorry I am"

"Just fu**** leave my arm Sapphire"

He said in such a cold voice that my grip on him loosened letting him go

"Your touch disgusts me!! If you dare to touch me again I will make sure to throw you back into the slums you came from!"

"You don't matter to me now, your face reminds me of my mistakes and I have done my homework to correct my mistakes"

"Miss Sapphire Brown you are no one for me now, I have found your replacement and that also a much better one"

"She is everything you were not and I am happy God made me correct my mistake in time before I lost the exam called life.

It will be better if you leave now just like you did 2 years back

We should not stay in places where we are not wanted"

"I am not going anywhere now, I will correct my mistakes and stay here even if I have to work as a maid here"

"I don't care what you do because the Saph I loved died the day she betrayed me"
