0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 29

Diary part 2

I never thought I would meet him again but our destiny had different plans.

I was again placed in front of him with head hung down

Not daring to look into his eyes and focussing on his perfectly shining shoes instead.

I was ashamed of myself.

Ashamed of being so damn ignorant and lost while crossing the road.

Ashamed of my own situation that made me stand here lost at the centre of the road waiting for death without even knowing it.

If he hadn't been the one driving the car I was sure any other person must have ran over me .

I expected him to yell at me

Scold me for being so careless

But he didn't say a word except asked me if I was alright.

I gave my answer with a nod and after that there was silence.

I could feel his deep state at me but I couldn't dare to look up.

Next I know he pulled my arm and dragged me to his passenger seat.

Before I could protest he had placed the seatbelt on me and settled himself on the driver's seat.

He sighed a long sigh and started

"Miss Brown do you even realise you could have died?

I know I am no one to judge your problems but no problem can be so big that you forget that you are standing on a goddam highway!"

His voice rose a pitch higher till the end and that was enough to release the sob I was trying to control.

I was a mess...I was still shocked of the consequences if he hadn't pressed his brakes.

He ran his hand through his hair frustrated at seeing me cry

"See Tosoro if you have a problem I can help you with it..let me know...please don't cry...I am sorry if I sounded rude"

Oh man how wrong he was

I was not crying because he spoke harshly but because it was the first time someone scolded me for my own good.

Someone who sounded genuinely worried for someone like me.

He refused to look at me and instead his gaze was transfixed on something outside the window.

He patiently waited for me to calm down.

Finally when I was done he politely asked me

"Are you fine?"

I nodded again

"I...am....sorry.....you must....be going....somewhere...I wasted...so much of your time...I must go....sorry and thank...you..."

I proceeded to open the door when his hand held my arm stopping me.

"I didn't asked you to leave Tosoro...now sit back and let's do some adult talk....stop acting like a Bambino ragazza"

What was Bambino I thought but I decided to ignore it...

Closing the door I decided to turn to look at him in the eye for the first time .

"Okay so why were you in the middle of the road at this hour?"

".. actually...I.....was...lost.....yes I lost....my way........so I was confused.....deciding...debating.....where to go......"

He sighed and a small smile escaped his lips

"Do you take me to be a fool Tosoro....I wouldn't have build empires if I couldn't see through people's eyes..."

"No....No Sir....I.... didn't mean to lie....I just don't want to trouble you ...."

"Lies trouble me more Tosoro..."

"I...am sorry Sir....I am really sorry I didn't knew you would find out...actually I couldn't pay my rent so the landlord threw me out...she burned all my stuff and called the police...I don't know what to do......so I was crossing the road absent minded..."

He didn't say anything...just started the ignition and started driving.

15 minutes passed and I couldn't gather enough courage to ask where he was taking me.

Finally the car stopped in front of two huge doors with AR engraved on them.

"Sir ...where are we...?"

"la tua nuova casa Tosoro.."

I passed him a confused look and he smiled

"You will stay with me Tosoro...I can't afford to leave a damsel in distress...now can I?"

My mouth opened in shock

"No.!! No Sir...how can I ....I am sorry but I-"

The doors of the car opened and he was already out of the car making his way towards the mansion.

I hurriedly followed him towards his house...or should I say castle.
