0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 20

Deal with the devil

I closed my eyes with my arms engulfing myself trying to protect me from the unknown.

My heartbeat was increasing with each passing second and I could feel my hands starting to shake.

Minutes passed and my condition worsened in anticipation.

A panic attack was in making and me forgetting today's dose of my medicine was a catalyst.

He was silent...only his strong cologne and cigar smoke intermixing could be felt.

Finally after waiting for too long I decided to open one eye.

He was very close...his fingers held my brown locks with which he was playing..

"I....I...a...m so..rry...I... didn't..meant.to...."

"Just shut up your pretty mouth belle"

I zipped my mouth shut and breathing became difficult.

My chest started moving up and down faster as tears stinged my tears..

The pain is starting....sh**....this panic attack seems worse than others.

Within next minute I was sliding down the wall holding onto my chest. My legs felt heavy and my energy was draining.

Before my body could hit the ground a hand on my waist supported my weight.

My face was pressed on his chest as my body was completely left at his mercy.

"Belle..."

I felt cold fingers hold on to my wrist to check my pulse rate

"Sh**!! It's a panic attack!!"

I was lifted up bridal style and placed on the sofa...through teary eyes I could see him ransacking my purse .

The next minute my head was placed in his lap and he raised my head a bit

"Open your mouth...here take the medicine.."

The medicine was placed on my lips followed my him placing a glass of water on my lips.

I gulped enough water to swallow the medicine and my body fully collapsed on him exhausted.

Just before my eyes closed down I saw him looking at me with gentle eyes while wiping my tears .

Henry was a playboy

There was no doubt in this

And most of the girls with whom he played also liked to play his games.

They liked to be with such a handsome and influential person even if it's for a short time.

But today sitting on his office chair staring at the cute little unconscious girl he questioned himself

"Why would Alessandro send a girl like her?"

Alessandro as per him was a very intelligent person ..with no time for love and emotions...he was cold and he never did anything wrong..

Then why send an innocent girl like her to convince him. Earlier the girls that came to convince him knew what they came for and did it well..

But this girl...she wanted to do business by talking and not with her body..

Unlike others who came.

There was no doubt that he was intrigued by her...by her bravery and her actions...

But she was too innocent for her own good.

And he will use this innocence of her to his best advantage.

He looked at her and smirked.

The brilliant idea that he just came up with will not only make me grab the 5 millions deal but will also destroy his only business competitor Alessandro.

And she will be his Ace in this game of cards.

A businessman is always an opportunist and today this opportunity itself knocked on his door in the form of this innocent girl.

How can he let her go?

Get ready belle...you won't even know what you did that caused the entire deck of cards to come crashing down.

He thought as she opened her eyes.

.............................

I woke up with a heavy headache

I looked around to see that I was still in Henry's office and he was sitting on his table looking into some papers.

"..s..orry...for ....causing you ...trouble I'll take...my leave"

I lifted myself up and was ready to leave when his words stopped me
