0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 25

Where are you now?

Alessandro Romano p.o.v

Staring at her back as my mind registered her words

A disastrous kind of a storm broke inside me.

"I was a mistake...I was discarded in dump......I don't deserve happiness....you will not have to see this ugly face anymore.... don't have to touch this disgusting body.... congratulations....goodbye......"

No!!

This can't be it.

I should be happy that she finally decided to leave forever.

But then I don't know why a feeling of dread enraptured inside me... like my very soul was getting separated from me.

Like by not stopping her right now I was committing the biggest mistake of my life.

She said she was a mistake...agreed ...but she was my life's most beautiful mistake.

Those years with her were the golden period of my life.

She said she is ugly....

Not the prettiest one in town I agree. With not the sharpest feature

But she was pretty in her own unique way.

Like every feature not very perfect but when fitted together each one covered the others flaws and highlighted innocence.

A kind of beauty which can never be compared because of it's uniqueness but can only be adored.

Disgusting body she said

If only she knew how her touch burns my skin with lust and desire .

If only she knew how much self control it took not to engulf her perfect waist in my arms and inhale her sweet fragrance.

Her goodbye pinched like a needle in my heart and the ring she returned made my mind go blank.

The biggest fear of my life shook the very floor under my feet.

Can she be innocent?

The million dollar ring in my hand raised hundreds of questions and their answers made me doubt myself for the first time in my life .

But those pictures were true...she did used to see another man behind my back...

But did I ever listened to her side of story?

Why she did it? Who was he?

These endless thoughts were giving me a headache as I tossed around in bed.

Andrea's touch no longer calmed me down

Her arm hugging me felt like a trap and her presence felt suffocating.

I lifted up the duvet, released my self from Andrea and made my way outside to the balcony.

The winds welcomed me and the stars in the sky calmed me down.

"You know Andro these stars tell me a story"

"A story? When did stars started talking?"

I laughed at her stupid self.

"Since the day I realised I have no one....since the day I learned that people who die become a star...."

Seeing the hidden sadness behind her words all my humour vanished

"These stars tell me that even when everyone changes towards me ....when people hate me....when I am unwanted they are still there for me......they are there to look after me...even though sometimes they may hide themselves behind the clouds but still they are there staring back at me again..."

I engulfed her from behind and placed a kiss on her neck inhaling her addicting fragrance.

"But dear Saph they are too far away to protect you and look after you?"

She stilled and got lost in her thoughts as I enjoyed her closeness and her innocence.

A smile left appeared on my lips when I realised how seriously she was considering my question..
