0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 16

Next morning

Sapphire pov

My life slowed down....

I was late and Andro already left for office...

It was not because I woke late but because my foot was not at all supportive.

It took 15 minutes to reach the main door to see that he already left.

30 minutes to reach his office door from the taxi door.

But when I entered he didn't even acknowledge me.

I limped and reached his table to be only ignored .

"Mr Romano..here are the files you asked for..."

He didn't replied for a minute and I expected he wouldn't.

But what he replied his words made me freeze with horror

"You are fired miss Sapphire...you are not to be seen here or at my house again...."

He didn't even look up...

"I am sorry..Sir....I was a bit late...it will not happen again....last night I had a-..."

"Did I asked for reasons...miss Sapphire...I am not interested in knowing with whom you were whoring around....so before I reprimand you any further please leave.."

His words shattered my soul

I couldn't just leave now...I wanted his forgiveness and few harsh words couldn't stop me from it.

"What.. are...you.saying Sir....I didn't did......."

"Oh please miss Brown I don't want any explanations...I just want you out of my face..is that too much to ask?"

Now his eyes met mine and the seriousness and determination in them made me take a step back....

"No....No...Sir....I....I'll ...take my l..eave..."

I tried moving out of his room without limping...but my confident steps staggered when pain returned.

My hands clinged the door frame for support but his next words managed to upheaval the very floor under my feet

"What happened Miss Brown?.Last night was rough I guess....he fuc*** you so hard that you can't even walk??"

The mocking tone in which he spoke lighted an inferno inside me that swallowed me completely.

I wanted to yell at him!! Proclaim my innocence! Prove him wrong...

But what's the use when he can't see me as I am...

With a heavy heart and large amount of self control I stepped out of his door....

Silence has a power hidden underneath...and I was keen on using it ....

It makes you rise above others...it saves you the self respect you have...and most importantly it infuriates the other person to such extent that no words can ever could.

As soon as the door closed my eyes couldn't hold it any longer...

My tears flowed like waterways and calmed the heated inferno inside

My legs couldn't hold on and I slides down the wall..

My shaking hands searched for my medicine inside my bag and the tablets proved to be my only support system...

Soon my breathing returned to normal and my eyes could focus again..

I just wanted to escape this place for today...

The walls were closing down on me and his aura was castrating me

I needed a break

Lifting myself up I decided to leave

People stared at me as I slowly made my way towards the entrance.

Some few good souls stopped to help me

As soon as I entered the ground floor I didn't expected to see him standing these with few assistance and associates..

The same calm brown eyes stared at me with concern...within seconds his hand reached on my waist to support me.
