0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 18

Mission to devils cave

A heartbreak is not the end of this world

But deception is.

A rejection can only hurt you

But a betrayal kills you.

But you can still survive

You can survive if you freeze your heart and lock your emotions

You can survive in the shell of a person you once were.

And today I just happened to realise how strong of a shell Andro had build around him.

As I came out of the bathroom fully soaked in water and back in my senses I was met with his presence.

Sitting on the sofa ,scrolling down his phone.

"1 month"

He spoke without looking at me

"1 month you have to leave this town and never come back..all your needs will be provided with. You could find a decent job and live your own life without messing with mine...best for both of us"

He got up to leave but I will not accept my defeat this easily

I blocked the door stopping him

His eyes instead of meeting mine examined my body and uncomfortably remained fixed on my wet shirt.

I blushed and folded my arms on my upper half without meeting his eyes.

"You surely still know how to seduce a man Miss Sapphire"

His comment offended me enough to make me look into his eyes .

Gone was the love and care he once had in his eyes

Instead his tone was mocking and an arrogant smirk was plastered on his face.

Ignoring his comment I decided to speak my mind

"I will not leave...neither do I need your charity...I will die before asking you for a penny again!"

He stepped towards me making my back hit the door

"So much arrogance Miss Brown...It doesn't suits a cheap sl** like you...so tell me how many men have you fuc*** since our breakup?"

His question so direct and his eyes so accusing made me loose my self control.

Without realising I slapped him so hard that I am sure my fingerprints on his cheek will be it's evidence for next few hours.

Tears burned my eyes and my throat felt constricted

I held the door behind for support.

Silence prevailed and I realised what I had done.

He will hate me more!

What have I done!

He will never forgive me now!

His burning eyes met mine and fear entered my system.

His hand gripped my scalp making me shriek in pain.

He kept putting more pressure on my scalp and pulling my face backwards making fresh tears escape my eyes.

"Sto.....p it........you.....ar...e hurting....me"

I managed to reply but he had no intention of leaving me

Instead his grip on my hair tightened making me wince in pain.

"Good.....you deserve every damn bit of it and much more... "

His breath hit my chin as his next words froze me to hell.

"Don't test my limits to show you what kind of a beast you have made me Sapphire. I know your fears and I will not hesitate to show you nightmares in daylight...be in your limits...be a good girl and leave for good before I decide to drag you through hell"

"Am I clear?"

"I SAID Am I CLEAR!!??"

His anger was not to be messed with

I had no choice

"Y...es..."

I managed to reply with my broken voice

In the next second I was released and he pushed me aside and walked out of the door.

His words and that scene from two years before pictured before me and I fell down on the floor clutching on to my hair.

Andro's bedroom

Day before Andro proposed Sapphire

Loud sounds of laughter could be heard as Andro continued with his best weapon.

He laid on top of Saph and continued to tickle her so bad that tears of joy were setting on the pillow.

"P...le....ease...hahaha......stop....And...ro....it's....hurt...in..g"

On hearing that it was hurting her he stopped immediately...concern replacing mischief.

She looked up at him through teary eyes ...

She slipped on ice few days back and suffered a back pain ,Andro feared that his actions have brought back her pain

While she simply was referring to her hurting stomach and not her back.
